Project Highlights & Key Takeaways Light gray base created cloud effect in this pearl and off-white metallic combo. Solid pigments resist flow and can stick to the floor; remember to mix them into metallic or clear layers for better movement. After demoing tile, we patched with a slurry mix and then our pigmented MVB and finished with satin, high-wear urethane for durability. Key tip—highlight batches have about 20 minutes of pot life, so we ran 3 batches (12 kits = 36 gallons) for our 1,200 ft² install to keep things fresh and flowing. 1. Gray Base + White & Pearl Metallics = Layered Color Shift The light gray base isn’t just a neutral canvas—it bleeds through the pearl and white metallics to create unexpected hues and soft tonal shifts. This subtle interplay enhances depth and richness. 2. Solid Pigments Limit Fluidity Solids stick. When mixed directly into epoxy, they can weigh down the flow and freeze your design. To preserve dynamic movement, blend solids into clear or metallic epoxy layers—this encourages fluid dispersion and flow capability. 3. Tile Demo Needed Slurry Repair After tile removal, the floor had minor concrete damage. We repaired it with an epoxy slurry, ensuring a smooth and contiguous surface ready for decorative layering—a crucial step for both aesthetics and adhesion. 4. Durable Satin Urethane Finish for Foot Traffic Topped the project with a satin-textured, high-wear urethane. This clear topcoat delivers exceptional abrasion resistance, UV stability, and longevity, making it ideal for high-traffic church environments 5. Pot Life Awareness with Highlight Colors When working with metallic highlight mixes—especially over large areas like your 1,200 ft² project—time is tight. Pot life is often 20 minutes or less. We managed this by working in three batches of four kits each (2 pearl, 1 white, ½ white + highlights), totaling 12 kits (36 gallons). This kept each mix fresh and fluid across the surface.

Had the pleasure of dropping this floor with Jeremy yesterday! All the coaching along with tips and just his overall experience was no doubt super helpful and has me ready for the next one!
