Let’s go Rust-Oleum: Epoxy-Shell 550 primer, Epoxy-Shell 1000 flake coat, Poly-Shell 8000 topcoat.

What happens here

To release any trapped air bubbles from the epoxy base coat, use a spiked roller. This de-aeration process helps to prevent imperfections like fish eyes and ensures a more uniform, durable surface. Gently roll the spiked roller over the entire wet epoxy surface. Maintain spiked shoes for mobility.

Goal: Remove air bubbles from the epoxy base coat
