What happens here
Once the concrete surface is fully prepared and clean, the epoxy base coat is applied. The video shows a worker using a rubber squeegee to spread a liquid material evenly across the floor. This method helps achieve a consistent and controlled thickness for the base coat. The base coat acts as a primer, strongly adhering to the concrete, and also serves as the 'wet bed' into which the decorative flakes will be broadcast. Ensure complete coverage across the entire prepared area.
Goal: Lay down an even layer of epoxy base coat onto the prepared concrete
