I'll get some pics up when my project is finished, but I have a couple of questions for the knowledgeable folks out there.
I used Sherwin Williams 1000HS Epoxy on my floor, and the containers actually say, "Sherwin Williams 100% Solids Epoxy 1000HS". When I go online to look at cure times, it says:
Volume Solids, mixed: colors—65% ± 2% may vary by color clear—61% ± 2%
Weight Solids, mixed: 74% ± 2%, may vary by color
I'm now wondering if "HS" is High Solids...but wonder why the container said 100% Solids????
Also, I am in Dallas and it has been 105 for 16 days straight. It was applied this morning about 8AM (full prep was all day yesterday). I walked on it just now and it did not leave any foot marks, or transfer any of the epoxy to my socks.
Can I lay some painters sheets down tomorrow and paint the walls, or should I wait?
(Drying schedule below)
Thanks!
