What happens here

Before combining, mechanically pre-mix each component of the epoxy primer separately. First, open the can of Part A and use a drill fitted with a stir whip to thoroughly mix the contents for approximately one minute. Repeat this process for Part B, ensuring both components are well-agitated to reactivate any settled pigments or solids. This pre-mixing step ensures proper activation and consistent color when the two parts are finally combined.

Goal: Ensure each epoxy component is thoroughly mixed before combining them.

before we begin our mixing we want to make sure we have everything laid out ABAB however it works for you left right try to keep your mixing station the same on each coat so you know that you need to put your B in to your a or your a into your B I also recommend strongly that everything gets premixed by premixing uh we ensure that we get that right activation I think of it like a gallon of milk every time I go to drink out of it I give it a shake CU everything settles same with this so make sure to mix it um we're going to premix for about a minute roughly and then we'll mix these together for 2 minutes at that time we'll have a 45 minute pot life to get this down [Music]
