Garage floor epoxy
Garage floor epoxies should be applied in temperatures from 60-80 degrees with low humidity. Generally, epoxies become thick and cure too slowly to be applied at temperatures below 50 or 60 degrees. Temperatures above 90 degrees thin the epoxy and reduce the cure time you have to work with. Epoxy will dry to the touch in a matter of hours but require several days of curing to become hard enough for vehicle traffic. Cured epoxies may soften at temperatures above 140 degrees.
Bubbling ,color streaking or blush are problems that may occur when applying garage floor epoxy coatings. Bubbles sometimes form when air is trapped from use of a heavy nap roller cover or concrete contaminants.
Moisture problems, contaminants or incomplete mixing causes color streaks. Blush may appear as a white film or greasy waxy film. Blush is caused by the reaction of the epoxy hardener with moisture in the air. If bubble form or blush occurs, you must remove it by sanding before additional layers may be applied. Epoxies are a long lasting alternative for creating an attractive garage floor. You have to remove all the grease and dirt before applying garage floor epoxy, or else epoxy won't stick.
