APPLICATION GUIDE
Preparation
Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Fast Cure Garage Floor Paint Bundle. When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results, but if that is not possible then sanding the area or our Etch and Clean is a good alternative. After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet.
Please note: Etch and Clean is only suitable for use on bare concrete.
Application
We advise when applying this product the ambient temperature is at least 7°C.
1. Mix Part A of the primer on its own with a mixing paddle, attached to an electric drill, for about 1 minute. Once mixed, adding ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit.
2. Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray.
3. Immediately begin applying your primer (or paint) with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller.
4. Use a brush around the edges to cut in (a second pair of hands can be useful for this stage).
5. As soon as the primer (or paint) has started curing (is no longer tacky to touch) you can apply your first coat of paint; this should take 3 hours at 20°C.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for your first coat of fast cure epoxy garage floor paint. This time, waiting for 2-4 hours at 20°C, before applying the top coat.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the top coat of Standard Epoxy Garage Floor Paint. This should cure between 12-24 hours.
7. The cured final coat is ok for foot traffic. Cars and heavy objects, however, should be left off the new coating for the first 48 hours and chemicals, including water, should not be introduced for the first 7 days (Full chemical cure).
PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 20 minutes. This means that once parts have been mixed, the paint will start to chemically cure after this time. Ensure you remove the paint from the tin in this window. The paint will then be workable on your floor for up to 40 minutes.
Pot life = Time to harden in pot following addition of hardener
Working Time = Time to apply product before it becomes unworkable
