Should I even use a clear top coat on epoxy floors
l own auto repair shops.I've tried 3 industrial brands of epoxy (not home
store Rustoleum stuff) and each one has lasted less than 1 1/2 years
before showing obvious signs of wear.I am contemplating just skipping the
decorative flakes and clear top coat.It seems the top coat is never very
durable.They quickly wear down and expose the chips, which end up getting
knocked off / worn down until l have bare epoxy.l figure if l skip the
flakes and top coat, I will just have solid epoxy to wear down until it hits bare concrete.So, the wear wo not be as evident until we hit concrete.Is the top coat necessary?Is it supposed to be more durable than the epoxy? Also, l wanna avoid a totally smooth surface for slip resistance.l thought about adding something like sand to the epoxy, maybe sand + epoxy.Then another coat of epoxy on top.Can sand be mixed with epoxy for this purpose?
Hello.
I work for Rust-Oleum and have you ever thought about trying the DIY kit?
If you want industrial strength I would suggest using our Professional
version, link attched.
With our kit you don't have to add the chips or a clear coat if you prefer not to do so. If you have any questions feel free to contact our customer service department at 1-800-323-3584. Thanks and I hope this helps.
