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

What happens here

Perform a final de-aeration on the wet clear epoxy topcoat using a spiked roller. This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly smooth, bubble-free, and professional-looking finish. Gently roll the spiked roller over the entire surface, ensuring no air is trapped. Continue wearing spiked shoes throughout this process.

Goal: Remove air bubbles from the clear epoxy topcoat
