Why You Should NEVER Grind Your Epoxy Floor Again…

What happens here

After completing the edge work, switch to an 18-inch roller for the main floor application. Pour a manageable amount of primer into a paint tray. Load the roller and apply the primer in thin, even coats, ensuring no heavy spots. Work in sections, moving systematically from the furthest point in the garage towards the exit. This allows for a continuous application without stepping into freshly primed areas. If working with a partner, coordinate movements to maintain efficiency and avoid overlaps or missed spots.

Goal: Once the edges are complete, use an 18-inch roller to apply the EP-55 primer to the main garage floor in thin, even coats, working methodically from the back of the garage towards the exit to avoid stepping on wet primer.

we've got our you all our stem walls done and now we're putting on our primer coat. Just rolling it out with 18inch rollers. You can see I don't want, you know, big heavy spots. I'm just rolling out a nice thin even coat. I don't have to lay it out in any specific direction or anything, but I just want to get a nice even coat. So, I load up my roller and I'm going to put the primer down. And now I'm going to begin spreading it out and get it spread out evenly. So, just a little bit more about your EP55 primer right here. It goes right onto an existing epoxy floor. So, you know, it's designed to go on tile, you know, and existing coatings like this. Uh, definitely recommended um epoxy floor to sand the epoxy floor first. Um, you know, clean it, sand it. If you are working with a tile, say, you know, it was a while back, I did a garage um for your guy and he actually had a tile garage floor. So, there's a possibility you could run into a tile garage floor. Same thing. You probably want to make sure there's no sealers on the tile. Um, and you might want to, you know, sand it. So, you got to determine, you know, what type of product you have. Uh, cuz some tile you can actually get, you know, an abrasive sand on it also. So, um, you can see the product is super super sticky, super tacky. got Tony's, you know, mixing more and we just, you know, mix and go as we're um using it. You don't want to catalyze it all at once. You know, a large floor like this, we're about 750 ft because you're working time, you know, you got 45 minutes. So, with the footings, you know, and the whole floor, you know, just uh do batches as you go. So, uh you also don't want to like do it all and then have a ton extra. So, you know, we're just doing what we need. So, I'm
