1. Pre-Stir & Pigment Dosing: Open the GREEN-BANDED PART A container first. If pouring a 3D Metallic floor, pre-mix 1 × 150g Metallic Mica Pigment jar per gallon of Part A (2 jars per 3-Gal EPOXY 49 kit) until 100% uniform before introducing any Part B hardener.
2. Stoichiometric Curing Ratio: Pour the ORANGE-BANDED PART B activator into a clean, calibrated mixing pail with Part A at the exact label volume ratio. Never “eyeball” partial batches or alter hardener ratios to speed up cure—off-ratio resin remains permanently soft/tacky!

- 01Acclimate Containers (65°F–75°F): Keep pails indoors 24 hrs before pouring. Verify slab is >5°F above dew point.
- 02Verify CSP 2–3 Profile & Moisture: Diamond-ground, dust-free concrete (<3 lbs MVER for Primer 49; up to 25 lbs MVER for MVB 49).
- 03Stage Mixing Station: Line mix area with cardboard/poly sheeting; stage spiked shoes, 18" squeegee, and de-linted 3/8" rollers BEFORE mixing.
- 04Combine Part A + Part B: Measure exact 2A:1B (Epoxy/Primer/MVB) or 1A:1B (Polyaspartic) into a clean graduated bucket.
- 05350 RPM Low-Speed Blend (3 Min): Keep spiral blade submerged to prevent air bubbles. Scrape bucket sides & bottom halfway through.
- 06Ribbon Pour Immediately: Dump entire mixed batch onto floor in S-ribbons right away (20–30 min mass pot life; 15–20 min on Polyaspartic 49).
