Tip…

Epoxies heat when catalyzing together. Properly mixed PART-A and PART-B should heat on the floor but not in your mixing bucket. After mixing it is important to get the mixed epoxy out of the mixing bucket and onto the working area of the floor. The Magic Trowel and rollers will then get the epoxy spread to the proper thickness. If the mixed epoxy is left in a mixing pail, the epoxy will overheat, then smoke, and can flame. 

If you need to precision cut-in the epoxy around the baseboards or keep from filling control joints, then the following must be done:

  1. If working alone, mix only what is needed to perform the cut in. Then mix the remaining parts of the epoxy kit to do the main surface.
  2. If working as a team, split the mixed epoxy and have one person cut with the necessary amount to do the edges and joints just ahead of the other person who has poured out the remaining majority of the mixed epoxy and is spreading it around the floor.
  3. Never leave a mixed kit of epoxy unattended.
  4. Avoid interruptions and distractions as once epoxy is blended the timer of its pot-life is diminishing.
