Once done, clean the floor from all debris and oil curing compounds. Even loose paint needs to be removed. If you have a new concrete floor, that also must be swept or vacuumed after emptying the space.
Step 2: Use Grinding machine to clean surface
It is recommended to clear out all the debris with the help of a grinding machine or use a water hose to flush the entire area clean.
Step 3: Mix water in Muriatic Acid
Once you have flush the whole floor with water, now you have to add Edge mixture to water in a pale and mix the muriatic acid solution by diluting the acid with four (4) parts of water in a large empty pale.
Spread that etching mixture all over the floor using a broom evenly. Make sure all of the area is covered properly.
You may notice light or bubbles forming in the mixture, but it is okay.
Let the surface be properly dry overnight.

Step 5: Apply 1st Coat of Epoxy Primer
The first coat is the 2 parts Epoxy Primer. Mix the Primer according to the ratio mentioned in the box. It requires a thorough mixing of Part A and Part B components using a metallic mixer that comes in the box.
Mix the solution for 2 to 3 minutes using a metallic mixer and electric drill on medium speed.
Do not mix more so that you can apply a single coat within 30 to 45 minutes. Mixing more primer will result in hardening and stiffening mixture.
Pour this mixture evenly on the surface and using the roller, spread the mixture all over the floor.
The mixture will take around 2 to 6 hours to dry. If the floor is not dry, let it be dry before applying the second coat.
Step 6: Apply the 2nd Coat
The second coat is Armor Ultra 100% Solid high build Epoxy. This product gives a solid build to the floor and its thickness will define the finishing of the floor.
High Build Epoxy comes with the Armor box and needs to be mixed using the metallic mixing machine or electric drill using ratio 2:1 of component A and B for 2 to 3 minutes.
This mixture is a high curing product, So, only mix the product that you can use within a 30 minute time frame. Otherwise the mixture will be tacky and hard to handle.
Use the spike shows to walk and pour the mixture over the floor in puddles.
Use the squeegee to push the epoxy around and a roller to roll it out properly, letting the floor dry overnight. If the floor is not dry, let it be dry for 3 to 6 hours before applying the final coat.
Step 7: Third and Final coat “Military Grade Top Coat Armor Ultra”
Once the floor is properly dry with Solid Epoxy, it is now time to apply the third and final coat i.e. Military Grade Top Coat Armor Ultra.
It is mixed in a 2:1 ration with component part A and part B.
Once the mixture is ready, you have to add an ultraware non-skid additive in the mixture before applying to the floor. This is added considering ½ to one pint per gallon pour.
Consistently mix this coat for 2 to 3 minutes in a bucket since it has the tendency to suspend or become hard.
Pour this mixture directly on the floor and using the roller even it out of the floor until the whole floor is covered.
It is recommended to wait for overnight or 14 to 24 hours until the floor is properly dry. You can use the floor in 14 to 24 hours for walking, but vehicle traffic needs to be done after 3 to 5 days.
