Epoxy Garage Floor Paint Kit

4.1. PREPARATION

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COATING CAN BE SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED IF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT STRICTLY ADHERED TO.  IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE SUBSTRATE IS SOUND.

Do not apply in temperatures below 10 °C/50 °F and ensure there is at least a 4 hour weather window.  We do not recommend application late in the day, due to dropping temperatures and increased humidity.

Although Epoxy Garage Floor Paint will overcoat most other finishes and paints, the best results are achieved when surfaces are clean and free of other finishes/coatings. If applying over an existing coating or to a non-porous surface, mechanically sand the area to create a key.

All surfaces should be dry. Particular attention should be made to degreasing surfaces before application. All voids and surface imperfections must be carefully filled.

Clean the surface you will be applying the Epoxy Garage Floor Paint to. If there are any leaks, these should be repaired with Antel Waterstop or Antel Epoxy Putty before applying the Epoxy Floor Paint Heavy Duty. If unsure, please contact us for technical advice.

The pot life is approximately 45 minutes. This is based on a temperature of 20 °C/68 °F. If you are applying the coating in higher temperatures, the pot life may be reduced.  The material will become unworkable once outside of this pot life.

Once mixed, it is only possible to apply a single coat. Do not attempt to return to the mix to apply a second coat.

4.2. MIXING

For simplicity we would recommend using a separate pack of Epoxy Garage Floor Paint for each coat, however if you would like to use one pack for both coats, you will need to accurately divide the A and B packs proportionately using digital scales.

1. Mix the A Pack thoroughly on a slow speed.

2. Mix the B Pack thoroughly on a slow speed.

3. Pour the contents of the B Pack into the larger A Pack.

4. Mix again thoroughly on a slow speed (ideally with a mixer paddle) for a minimum of three minutes, so that the two components are completely mixed.

5. Pour into at least one roller tray to maintain pot life.

6. Start application immediately.

4.3. APPLICATION STEPS

1. Apply the first coat by short pile roller or brush.

2. Wait 24 hours before applying the second coat. Reduced time between coats maybe possible, but it’s very important to seek technical advice from Antel before attempting this.

3. Within a maximum period of 48 hours, apply the second coat.
