Decorative Chip is broadcast into a resin system that cures slow enough to level after a squeegee/backroll application that is at least 10 mils and remains open to receive a broadcast. Please see the specific epoxy technical data sheet for more information. 

Application:

1. There are different ways to broadcast Decorative Chip. For a random or single, full broadcast, you can see the background of the resin applied prior to the broadcast. Use a resin that is tinted the same color as one of the colored chip flakes in the blend.
2. Immediately after material has been mixed to receive the flake, pour it all onto the floor in a ribbon for the base coat.
3. Apply at a spread rate of 134-160 square feet per gallon to yield 10-12 mils wet film thickness using a notched squeegee.
4. Push the squeegee in the same direction as the ribbon with a slight angle to plow extra material to the side.
5. Moving parallel to the first pass, overlap and continue to move material down the floor.
6. Back-roll across the squeegee passes with a non-shedding, 3/8 in. nap roller.
7. Immediately broadcast Decorative Chip into the uncured resin. Toss the chip flake up into the air to evenly scatter it. If the broadcast is to be full/complete, continue to add flakes to the floor until the resin is completely covered. Do not dump or allow the chip flakes to pile on the floor.
8. After coating under the chip sets up/cures enough to traffic, remove loose/extra flake from the surface.
9. Seal in Decorative Chip with a protective clear coat of epoxy or polyaspartic.
