What happens here
After the surface preparation is complete and the floor is clean and dry, apply a layer of Citadel EP-55 primer. As shown in the video, use a roller attached to an extension pole to evenly distribute the primer across the entire floor. The primer acts as a crucial bond coat, improving the adhesion of subsequent epoxy layers to the concrete, helping to prevent bubbling, and ensuring a durable, long-lasting finish. Allow the primer to cure according to the manufacturer's specifications before proceeding.
Goal: Create a strong adhesive base for the epoxy coating.
