Use and Care Manual
ℹ
Hint: Don’t worry if some of the chips get onto the unpainted part, or if you don’t leave an
overlap edge for the next section. You can just paint over any stray chips and they will become
ingrained in the epoxy.
3. Continue this process until the area is completed with a uniform appearance. Make sure to note
how many chips you have for the project and apportion them properly so you don’t run short at the
end of the project.
ℹ
Hint: You can practice applying the chips by sprinkling onto a clear plastic sheet, then gather
them up to use on the floor.
4. Let dry for 16-24 hours (normally overnight is adequate), then sweep or vacuum up any loose
flecks, or flecks that may have fallen onto each other. Please note that when applying this product
in very cool temperatures it may take longer for the coating to dry. If this happens, do not worry.
Refrain from the next step until the product is fully hardened.
7. CLEAR COAT APPLICATION
The clear protective topcoat (Ultraglaze) is applied after the ArmorPower epoxy is fully dry enough to walk on (normally
overnight, but can be sooner depending on temperature or humidity conditions). Open the can, mix well, and apply. For
enhanced safety, we recommend using the included anti-slip aggregate Armorgrip (the small white bag). It should be
added (mixed in) to the clear coat to reduce the risk of slipping on finished floors that may be exposed to wet, or
oily/greasy conditions. Use 1 package per gallon. Slowly pour the contents of the non-skid into the topcoat and mix well
to thoroughly suspend in the mixture.
ℹ
Hint: The aggregate will settle while mixed in the ultraglaze, so periodic stirring to re-suspend the nonskid is required
during the application process to assure uniform application of the anti-slip aggregate.
ℹ
Hint: Ultraglaze topcoat will go on ‘milky white’ but clear up shortly to a high gloss shine.
ℹ
Hint: The topcoat should be applied with a roller only from a roller tray. Do not use a squeegee at all for this
application
Please note that if you notice any uneven or problem areas with your application, do not apply the topcoat until you have
rectified those issues. Normally topcoat will not ‘fix’ issues with the epoxy application.
8. CLEAN UP
ArmorPower epoxy can be cleaned o hands and other surfaces with xylene (xylol) or similar solvent cleaners before the
material begins to harden. Warm soap and water may also be used if the epoxy is still wet. Sticky resin on hands can be
removed with mineral spirits or xylene. Fully cured ArmorPoxy can only be removed with industrial paint strippers
available from us, or through mechanical methods such as grinding or sanding. Any leftover mixed materials, paint
brushes and roller covers will harden once the material cures and should be disposed of according to your local
regulations.
9. RETURN TO SERVICE
ArmorPower epoxy coating kit should cure for at least 24 hours before opening the area to foot trac. Wait 4-5 days
before driving across and parking a car on it. Extreme temperatures and humidity levels can dramatically impact curing
times. If the floor is not ‘rock hard’ after 72 hours @ 75°F., then do not drive on it and call for assistance.
