In reply to kadin k. Hi Kadin. Just mix the media into the polyaspartic before you pour it out onto the floor. If it's a slower cure product that allows you to work out of a paint tray, make sure to mix it occasionally or it will settle to the bottom and get applied in clumps with the roller.

I am doing a stain with a polyaspartic top coat, the customer wants a traction additive on top, it is a garage shop. He wants something that is easy to mop but still gives somewhat traction. I believe the polymer beads might be the best option, however i am not the best way to apply with a polyaspartic top coat? Mix it in? Broadcast on top? or braodcast on underneath? Thanks.

In reply to mike farber. Hi Mike. What percentage of solids is the epoxy? Do you know the approximate DFT it will achieve once it has cured?

I have a question regarding a re-coat of marine epoxy to a garage floor. It was one color medium gray. The job is now over three years old. The customer was told to use some rubber matting to prevent slip n falls when wet. The customer has back issues, and the mats are too heavy. I want to add traction to the floor, so the mats can be taken out of service. What do you recommend as a product to add to another coating of marine epoxy?

In reply to Randy Earwood. Hi Randy. Yikes, aluminum oxide is the worst choice for indoors, just for this reason. Polymer bead anti-slip media is so much better and will not tear up mops. If you haven't tried it yet, we suggest using a rough surface mop with looped ends. RubberMaid Commercial Products has a version that tends to hold up much better than standard string mops. Here is an example from Amazon. Hopefully you can find it via the supplier your school uses. Unfortunately, there isn't much more that will hold up any better.

My school has an epoxy floor with aluminum oxide added to prevent slippage. What is the best way to clean this type of floor? When we try to use traditional mops, they just tear up.
