Scrape Flakes Flat

What happens here

After the epoxy base coat and broadcast flakes have fully cured (typically 12-24 hours after flake application), use a floor scraper or a stiff-bristled broom/squeegee to scrape the broadcast flakes flat. As shown in the video, move the scraper across the floor in multiple directions to remove any loose or standing flakes that are not fully adhered or are protruding from the surface. This action creates a smoother, more even surface and prepares the floor for the subsequent clear topcoat by ensuring it will lay flat and uniform.

Goal: Flatten the broadcast flakes for a smooth and even surface, ready for a topcoat.
