What happens here
While the epoxy base coat is still wet and tacky, broadcast the Torginol hybrid flakes evenly over the entire surface. As demonstrated in the video, this is typically done by hand, throwing handfuls of flakes into the air to allow them to fall naturally and distribute randomly. Ensure full coverage to create the desired aesthetic and anti-slip properties. The flakes must land on wet epoxy to properly adhere. Allow the epoxy and flakes to cure fully, typically 12-24 hours depending on the product and environmental conditions.
Goal: Create a decorative and textured surface by embedding flakes into the wet epoxy.
