Step by Step Process
1: Prep the Surface
a.Clean the Surface: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the concrete surface. Remove all dust, dirt, grease, and oil using a concrete degreaser. Power washing might be necessary for heavily soiled areas.
b.Surface Grinding: Use a concrete grinder or shot blaster to roughen the surface. This step ensures the epoxy adheres properly by creating a porous surface.
c.Repair Cracks and Imperfections: Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable concrete patching compound. Allow it to dry completely, and then smooth the patched areas.
2: Prime the Surface
a.Mix the Primer: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix the epoxy primer. Mixing typically involves combining two components (Part A and Part B).
b.Apply the Primer: Use a roller or brush to apply the primer evenly across the floor. Make sure to cover the entire surface to create a consistent base for the metallic epoxy.
c. Allow to Cure: Let the primer cure according to the product's guidelines. This usually takes several hours but can vary based on temperature and humidity.
3: Mixing the Metallic Epoxy
a.Prepare the Epoxy: Mix the ArmorTallic Metallic Epoxy by combining the resin (Part A) with the hardener (Part B). Mix thoroughly to ensure even color and consistency.
b.Add Metallic Pigments: After mixing, add the metallic pigments to the epoxy. Mix until the pigments are fully incorporated, creating the desired metallic effect.
4: Applying the Metallic Epoxy
a.Pour the Epoxy: Pour the mixed epoxy onto the floor in a line or ribbon pattern.
b.Spread the Epoxy: Use a squeegee or notched trowel to spread the epoxy evenly across the floor. Work in sections to ensure even coverage and avoid the epoxy setting before it’s fully spread.
c.Create Designs: To achieve the desired metallic effect, use a roller, brush, or other tools to create swirls, waves, or other patterns in the epoxy. The movement of the epoxy will naturally create a unique, flowing design
d.Use of Alcohol: You can use alcohol while the floor is still wet to create or make the metallic coating customized.
5: Allow to Cure
a.Curing Time: Allow the epoxy to cure according to the product’s instructions. This typically involves leaving the floor undisturbed for 24-48 hours.b.Avoid Foot Traffic: During the curing process, keep the area free from foot traffic, dust, and debris to ensure a smooth, flawless finish.
6: Apply the Topcoat (Optional)
a.Mix the Topcoat: If a topcoat is desired for additional protection and gloss, mix it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This topcoat is non-skid additive military grade topcoat.
b.Apply the Topcoat: Use a roller or brush to apply the topcoat evenly over the cured metallic epoxy. This step will add extra durability and enhance the floor's shine.
c.Final Cure: Allow the topcoat to cure for the recommended time before walking on the floor or placing any items on it.
