Sandy caught me I in the middle of my epoxy flooring for my garage !
I have stained and put down the initial layer of epoxy when Sandy came, well cold weather hit after Sandy went by. I have been trying to come up with a solution for getting some heat in my garage to finnish up when we got a little warmer weather here. So yesterday I sanded the initial coat, wiped it down with denatured alcohol and rolled out the second layer of epoxy. temperature was 60 and humidity was 60.
After we finished rolling it out we noticed the epoxy wasn't drying evenly as if the alcohol had not dried. There were round spots where the epoxy was pushed away. There is noting I could do at that point but wait.
The temperature dropped into the 40's and hit the dew point so when I got home the ground was wet, but I had fans blowing on the floor and all looked well. This morining I could tell the spots were noticeable and seemed the epoxy didn't cover well, but the floor was shiny but still tacky. Now it is dryer but still not able to walk on but has developed some 'blueing' near the garage door.
After the Hurricane water blew against my garage door and afterwards the water that layed on my first coat and the floor recieved that 'blueing' affect,but it wiped up.
Because of the unevenness of the second coat I was hoping to put down a 3rd layer since i have some extra epoxy.
What are your thoughts?
