Hi,
A full broadcast floor will have millions of 'nooks and crannies' due to the overlapping of the flecks. This is normal. Once the flecks are applied you would need to use a flat floor scraper to knock off the corners/edges of the overlapping flecks, and then vacuum well, otherwise the floor will be rough and very textured. Also because of this you need at least two coats of the thicker Military Grade Urethane. The first coat gets very low coverage due to the small gaps getting filled, and the second coat then goes farther and tends to smooth it out a bit. That being said a full broadcast floor has a high degree of texture, even with the topcoats.
A better choice if you want a 'smoother' floor with a full broadcast is that after the flecks are applied and the floor is scraped and vacuumed, use a thick coat of 100% solids clear UV protected epoxy that gets floated out with a flat squeegee, and then a coat of the topcoat, or alternately two coats of 70% solids Polyaspartic. (Polyaspartic won't yellow as even a UV protected clear epoxy can yellow over time if exposed to a lot of sun).
Full broadcasts though will most always thought not be smooth like a flat concrete floor.
When using a full broadcast i'ts mandatory to properly topcoat as you won't be able to clean the floor and it will look not great in a short amount of time. It is necessary to clear topcoat for this application. Thank you.
