Newbie looking for advice

[SumSuperman]

Hi all. I will be doing my first garage flooring project in the near future. My garage is 400 sq. ft. I ordered two SuperCoat Standard epoxy kits and one industrial strength glaze coating kit. On their website SuperCoat states that each epoxy kit will cover 250 sq. ft. A couple of people on this forum have stated that one kit will cover more than this.

Do you think I should use one kit as a thin base coat, then apply the second kit as a second coat the next day. Or, should I mix both kits and do one thicker application covered by the glaze?

Buying a third epoxy kit is not in my budget, unfortunately. Any advice is appreciated.

Did you try calling the vendor (SuperCoat) to ask their advice on application? Since it is their product, they probably have a strong opinion.

I would have done this first.

I've always found a thinner first coat and thicker second coat to give better aesthetic results. A thinner first coat will give you less chance for bubbles and such, and a thicker second coat lets you have more material to self level out and yield a smooth finish. Definitely talk to the manufacture if you plan to deviate from their written instructions, though.
