The importance of how thick Inside Epoxy should be applied  in the decorative concrete process came up recently.

The concrete surface texture is a factor that you can’t control, but have to work with.

Is the concrete surface porous or tight? A porous surface will need a thicker application of epoxy since the pores will fill with epoxy first.

While the Inside Epoxy specs give a range of coverage for each kit, the condition of the concrete and the amount of epoxy used will affect that range.

The applied, finished epoxy should be the thickness of a butter knife which normally takes two applications, each of which will need to cure for seven days.

Applying too little epoxy can lead to flaws in the surface; too much epoxy is just expensive.

So, the correct amount of epoxy on a finished floor is the thickness of a butter knife.

Note: It’s probably best not to carry around a butter knife to measure the epoxy thickness of your customers flooring… they’ll look at you funny and may not give you referrals.  Simply use this knowledge as a guide.
