What happens here
After the primer has cured according to manufacturer specifications, the black epoxy base coat, identified as 'Citadel PLE-100 FC' in the video, is applied. The epoxy is typically mixed in batches and poured directly onto the floor. Workers, wearing spiked shoes to protect the wet surface, use a 20 mil notched squeegee (trowel) to spread the epoxy evenly across the entire surface, ensuring a consistent thickness of 20 mils.
Goal: Apply a uniform 20 mil thick epoxy base coat
