You will learn how to evaluate concrete before you open a kit, including age, condition, porosity, and contamination that can cause bonding problems. The course explains moisture and vapor emission in plain language so you can reduce the risk of bubbles, peeling, and delamination. You will also understand how to choose the right surface preparation method, when grinding is the best option, and when acid etching may be appropriate, while prioritizing safety and jobsite efficiency.

As you progress, you will build skills in cleaning and degreasing to remove oil, silicone, and other bond breakers, then move into crack, joint, and spall repair for a flatter, longer lasting finish. You will set up clean edges with smart masking and detailing, and you will learn mixing discipline, including ratios, induction time, pot life, and batch planning so the epoxy performs as intended.

The application sections connect technique to real results, covering primer and basecoat placement using squeegee and roller methods, plus decorative flakes and anti slip additives for traction and appearance. You will learn how temperature, humidity, dew point, and ventilation affect epoxy floor coatings, along with curing, recoat windows, and surface readiness checks. Finally, you will compare topcoats such as polyaspartic and urethane, understand common failure patterns like fish eyes and pinholes, and set up a maintenance routine for long term care of epoxy garage and workshop floors.
