What is Epoxy?
What happens here
Chris describes his traditional multi-day installation process, which involves a primer, epoxy, flakes, and then a polyaspartic topcoat. He asks if this differs from a 'one-day floor.' Tony confirms it does, explaining that one-day systems often require significant investment in diamond grinding surface preparation equipment, along with silica dust management, proper vacuums, and robust power supply. The system Chris uses is a three-coat application designed to be consistent, repeatable, and require minimal investment in specialized equipment and labor, in contrast to the high cost and complexity of typical one-day floors. Chris recounts past difficulties with acid etching for surface prep, including potential errors and the use of hazardous chemicals.
Goal: Understand the distinctions between traditional multi-day and one-day epoxy floor installations, especially concerning surface preparation requirements.
