A flawless epoxy floor starts with proper preparation. Follow these steps before installation:

1️⃣ Clear the Space – Remove vehicles, tools, and debris.
2️⃣ Deep Clean – Sweep, degrease, and pressure wash if needed.
3️⃣ Repair Cracks – Fill gaps to ensure a smooth surface.
4️⃣ Etch the Concrete – Helps the epoxy adhere better.
5️⃣ Let It Dry – Moisture can ruin adhesion—wait 24+ hours.
