Armorpoxy II Questions

[ky-mike]

I have acid-etched my garage floor and I will be applying Armorpoxy II this week (light grey and no flakes, if it matters). I have about 1200 SF to cover. Temps likely will be in the low 80's. I have 8 gallons (4 each of 2 parts) of product to spread. From the tech data sheet, it looks like pot life is 3-5 hours at 70 degrees.

How much should I mix at a time - 2 gallons or 4 gallons?
If I only mix 2 gallons at a time, will I be able to reuse the mixing bucket for the next 2 gallons or best to use a fresh bucket?

I received 2 buckets and 2 liners with the "job on a pallet" kit, which implies that I have enough to mix 2 batches of base coat and 2 batches of top coat in order to complete the project (or 3 batches of base and one of top). I also have 4 roller covers. I assume that I would need to change covers about halfway through each product (unless there are extras just in case I need them).

Just looking for what others have experienced so that I can be prepared.

Hi
Armorpoxy II has a relatively long working time. We recommend mixing 1 gal of A and 1 gal of B at a time. Yes, its fine to reuse the buckets in a continuous pattern.

Buckets are cheap! Buy a couple of extras to have on hand in case their needed. If you don't use them return them.

I used a fresh bucket for each epoxy and poly batch. Probably not required, but you only get one chance at epoxy coatings and I'm risk-averse.

Only applying my primer coat did I use the same bucket for the whole floor.
