Mixing Instructions: For use with SEAL-KRETE High Performance Epoxy-Shell 1000 2-part epoxy clear kits. Mix 1 metallic pigment quart jar (32 oz) with 1 gallon Epoxy-Shell 1000 clear Part “A”. Mix thoroughly using a low speed drill with mixing attachment for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 gallon Part “B”. Mix an additional 3 minutes. Do not aerate the mix. Mix only the amount of material that can be poured and applied immediately during the pot life (approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on air/surface temperatures). The recommended application rate is 75 (24 mil) - 100 (16 mil) sq. ft. per gallon. This thickness will ensure that the metallic pigment can work its magic. During application, the pigments start to move and create a variegated appearance. Metallic color packs may vary in color. Premixing each metallic color pack to be used on a project is recommended.
For example, if a 3 gallon kit of Epoxy-Shell 1000 is going to be used on a project, Follow these steps:
- 1. Open both gallons of Epoxy-Shell 1000 Part “A” and transfer to a larger container
- 2. Add 2 – quart size (32 oz) metallic color packs
- 3. Mix thoroughly
For cutting in along a wall:1. Use premixed material from above
Basic Finishing TechniquesDepending on the final look desired, the installer can use one of two generally accepted finishing techniques:
- 1. For a solid, brushed finish, apply using a magic trowel or flat squeegee. This ensures even product application. Check application coverage rate periodically during installation.
- 2. Start with step 1 above, after metallic has cured 10 - 20 minutes, spritz the floor with denatured alcohol. This loosens the surface tension, dissipates the pigment, removes trowel marks and creates high and low colors for a truly unique look. Only a small amount of alcohol is needed. One gallon of denatured alcohol should cover approximately 2000 sq. ft. The alcohol is best applied with a hand held trigger spray bottle using a coarse spray setting. The alcohol will evaporate and the final look will be achieved within about 1-2 hours.
NOTE: this application is not legal in SCAQMD due to VOC restrictions.
