How to not leave streaks or lines?

[biljohns]

I would think this would have been a common question when I searched (maybe I am awful with searching and keywords).

I am on the final coats of project (quartz floor - 1 clear epoxy coat, 2 top coats). What is the best method to laying down a uniform coat without leaving streaks and lines?

I do not have the luxury of doing a square at a time as you see in larger garages. The whole 20x19 garage will have to be done all at the same time leaving a wet edge.

This I do know...
Working from the garage door into the garage is easier to see where you have already rolled. All experiences and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Use the correct nap roller and apply per the manufacturer's instructions.
Also... be sure to dry-roll each row without lifting the roller from the floor.

Don't get hung up on an absolute perfect finish as it will "break in" and superficial lines will fade to gone over time.

Most roller marks are from material being rolled too thin. Folks roll floor coatings like they are painting a wall, stretching the material out. This is the biggest issue I have seen.

Good luck

Hi,
You note that you are doing a 'quartz' floor. Generally these floors are where the coating is laid out and then the quartz is broadcast onto the floor. If this is the case, then roller marks from the epoxy, if any, will get filled by the quartz. Please contact our office at below for additional technical information, any one in our Technical Services Dept can assist. Thank you.

He is referring to the clear coats on top of the quartz....
I pull my first coat tight using a flat squeegee and have 2nd guy back-rolling. This grouts the sand. The second coat should be applied and backrolled, again don't pick up the roller on the back-roll.
