What happens here

Begin by broadcasting the decorative vinyl flakes over the still-wet, uncured epoxy base coat that has been previously applied to the garage floor. Take handfuls of flakes from a bucket and toss them upwards, allowing them to rain down evenly across the surface. Ensure complete coverage, aiming to apply flakes 'to refusal,' meaning until the wet epoxy can no longer accept any more flakes. This process creates a dense, multi-colored finish and adds texture to the floor. The video shows two individuals performing this action, distributing the flakes by hand across the entire floor area.

Goal: Achieve full and even coverage of decorative flakes on the wet epoxy base coat
