Thanks Freak.
How we apply epoxy: PT 1 is dumped out of the bucket immediately after mixing in corn rows across the room. We use a black foam squeegee (wet n dry) to spread the PT1 across the floor, and then roll both ways once with a 3/16 roller (two guys, wearing spikes). We're done touching it 18 minutes after it's mixed. First application is at 50 sqft per gallon, very thick. 18-20 hours after that, we were making saw cuts, and the second coat of pt1 went down w/in 24 hours...same method, but at 100 sqft / gal. Polyurea went down 24 hours after that. Polyurea requires you to pour out the material in a few large piles, then use the squeege to push the large mass of material, like a skim coat. Don't corn row it like the PT1 - it's too thick, like pancake syrup, and doesn't spread with a squeegee unless you're pushing a lot of material. Only back roll once with moe hair roller, you need to be done touching it 12-15 minutes after it's mixed....the sooner the better.

This job was priced at $17 / sqft. $2 for prep, and $15 for the finish. 450 sqft. Two bedrooms and hall in between and out to foyer. More pics to come - with furnishings.
