Epoxy flooring and sections

[fringeofinsanity]

I've decided I want to go with an epoxy floor come spring, plan to buy the materials this week as they're on sale. I searched, but didn't see an answer to my question, and maybe it's answered in the instructions, but I have no patience. So here's my question....

I plan to do this in sections, but with work time and cure time, I don't see how I can get everything done in one application and have it cured in time to then roll my tools and benches, etc back in at the end of the day.

So... Can I do 1/2 the garage on one day, then after curing move my things to the other side to finish the rest. Are there any tips to blending, etc? Should I tape off the floor, then do the other side?

Any input from those that have experienced my dilemma is greatly appreciated.

if you have saw cut joints in your floor you can do it in sections. It just ***** as you need to use more roller covers, rags, xylene to clean tools, and possibly more epoxy as you probably wont mix an exact amount to do just that floor section. Plus set up time is wasted...

If you dont have cut lines, good luck!

You will hear people talk about a wet edge... In other words the floor like a seamless floor when you maintain a wet edge and you see where you stopped and started if you do not. That said shaun oriold1 is exactly right. If you have some natural breaks in the floor you can use them for your starting and stopping points.
