Epoxy Primer Box Store recommendation

[haruzuki]

Hello!

I'm in the process of prepping my floor for a 100% solids epoxy in a few days. I have the floor ready but there's this 90 Sq.ft. which is raised (3") where there was a major paint thinner spillage a while back. Although I've cleaned and etched it as best as I can, I don't want to take any risks and want to use a base primer before I apply the 2 coats of epoxy-coat premium. I don't want to buy an additional epoxy primer since it covers ~250 sqft or so. I just need enough primer to cover this 90 Sq.ft.

Are there any Rustoleum/Amazon/Box Store recommendations that I can pick up today or asap instead of waiting for an additional week for the delivery from Amorproxy/Legacy etc?

Note that this 90 Sq.ft. will only have foot traffic and some roller traffic from moving my portable table saw. Nothing too heavy.


I'm based in Austin TX.

The home box stores do not carry the proper epoxy primer you need. You could always thin a small mix of the 100% solids about 10% with acetone and use that as your primer for the small area you want to cover.

Sherwin williams, ppg, Benjamin Moore may carry a high solids epoxy that you can thin with xylene. If you have any of those stores in your area you could call. But they may have to order it as it’s not carried in the run of the mill strip mall retail store always.

We have recommend in a pinch XIM UMA primer with excellent results.
