Instructions & Tutorials Preparing Concrete For Epoxy. Acid Etching Hacks.
What happens here
After preparing the diluted acid and donning all safety gear (respirator, rubber boots, eye protection, rubber gloves), begin applying the mixture to the garage floor. Pump the plastic sprayer to build pressure, then spray the acid evenly across the concrete surface, working from one corner of the garage to the other. Observe the concrete; it should turn yellow, indicating the acid is actively etching and reacting with the concrete. Pay extra attention to any dirt or oil spots, applying more acid to ensure they are adequately etched. The goal is to make the surface rough, similar to 100-grit sandpaper.
Goal: Etch the concrete surface to create a rough texture for epoxy adhesion.
