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
