Use and Care Manual
no residual un-mixed product remains on sides or bottom. Unmixed material will not harden and could result
in needing repairs after application.
6. PRODUCT APPLICATION
ArmorPoxy may be installed as a solid color or with decorative flakes to provide an attractive, terrazzo-like finish.
The clear coat (if used) provides additional significant durability and shine.
6a. Option 1 - Solid Color Application
Use the small disposable paint brush to coat edges, corners, and any hard to reach areas. Larger areas should
be coated using supplied squeegee and/or a ¼” non-shedding roller cover on a 9” roller frame along with a
sturdy extension pole. If you use the squeegee, then you must ‘backroll’ with the roller to smooth out any
squeegee lines. Pour the ArmorPoxy epoxy onto the floor in a left-to-right pattern in a ‘bead’, then roll or
squeegee out. Applying the mixed material onto the floor directly allows longer working times. The squeegee is
also helpful to get the material along the edges of your floor.
ℹ
Hint: Do not leave mixed material in the bucket or in the sun for extended periods of time.
ℹ
Hint: Do not use a roller pan for the epoxy step. Pour the mixed materials directly to the floor as the floor
is always cooler than the air and it will extend working times.
Before mixing larger mixed amounts of materials, you may wish to mix small quantities of A & B in a
coee-type can or measuring bucket and use a brush for corners, edges, etc. Larger areas should be done with
the roller or squeegee, whichever you find easier to use.
ℹ
Hint: The squeegee is helpful for edges and for spreading out the epoxy, but a roller should be used to
make it even and smooth out the epoxy, since no floor is perfectly level.
Apply the epoxy evenly and consistently to the entire area being coated. Be careful to cover all areas and do
not leave light streaks or heavily-coated areas. Apply smoothly and evenly. Upon completion the surface
should look uniform in color without streaks or heavy accumulations.
6b. Option 2- Decorative Flecks (Flakes)
When installing fleck chips, the mixed materials is applied in the same fashion for the solid color
application, however, it is done in segments as noted below.
1. Apply the ArmorPoxy solid color evenly with complete coverage to an area that you can easily
reach across to toss and disperse the decorative chips, usually a width of about 2-3 feet.
ℹ
Hint: You can use the Spike Shoes supplied to walk on the epoxy while wet to broadcast the
fleck chips!
ℹ
Hint: Separate the mixed flecks into four equal parts and use ¼ for each quarter of your area
to be coated. This way you won’t run out by over-applying too early in the project.
2. After applying the epoxy to the segment, apply the decorative chips by carefully sprinkling them
from a height of approximately three feet and allowing them to randomly ‘rain down’ onto the wet
surface. Do not ‘throw’ them down, it is better to scatter them in small quantities using an
underhand toss, allowing the flecks to ‘rain down’. Be careful to not over-apply the amount of chips
in any one area. The chips should be applied so that the surface is uniform in the amount, and
random in color.
