EPOXY BASICS:

Epoxies are not like ‘regular’ paints. They are two part products that require the mixing of Part A and Part B. The result is usually a ‘honey like’ thick product (this includes the epoxy paints - they are very thick and no like easy to brush enamel and latex paints) that will start to harden in X minutes. This is called working time and it can be something like 10 minutes or 1.5 hours. It is based upon the specific epoxy, temperature, and the amount of epoxy mixed. It is recommended you work in small batches and slowly increase batch size until you determine the approximate working time of the epoxy in your unique situation. Poor mixing can result in tacky or sticky areas that never get ‘dry’ or ‘hard’.

Typical epoxy applications are for boat building and repair, waterproofing and sealing surfaces, and painting garage floors etc. Many issues come into play when coating surfaces, especially cement floors. Moisture issues, surface weakness, dirt, grease, etc. can cause coatings not to bond no matter how good the surface is prepared and is not an indication of a problem with the coating. Suitability of the coating, surface preparation, mixing and application is the responsibility of the purchaser (see legal section link below).

All epoxies will yellow over time and in exposure to sunlight. In other words they are not ‘color stable’. White will not stay white, and Clear will not remain clear. Usually epoxies are ‘painted’ over. The epoxies do the work - bonding, chemical resistance, stabilizing the substrate, waterproofing and sealing, etc. while an enamel, polyurethane or latex often provides the attractive, colorful, top surface. Some epoxies can be applied over wet or damp surfaces, or even underwater, making them useful for swimming pool repair, boat repair, manhole repair. etc.

Coverage on most epoxy paints/resins is about 100 to 150 square feet per gallon. Application is generally with a short nap roller, paint pad, or brush. Spraying epoxies is generally not possible without special equipment.

Generally, epoxies will feel dry and hard overnight, but they will continue to harden and cure for about a week.
