I am helping a friend put down a Norklad floor (I did my own garage with EpoxyMaster/Epoxyguard).
He decided in an abundance of caution to put down the Devoe Pre Prime 167 as a first coat.
After prepping the floor (pressure wash, degrease, etch, patching holes and cracks with Norkan two part epoxy crack filler) he rolled on the Pre-Prime 167.
24 hours later it was still wet - not tacky... WET. He was pretty worried and so was I, but I told him it was very likely the weather we had (it briefly rained the night he applied it and the temps were right at 50 deg F). We gave it another night to dry and luckily it did.
The thing that I find really strange and what I want to ask the forum about is how the floor looks now after applying the Pre-Prime. In some places the floor looks like bare concrete - like there is nothing on it, while in other places it clearly has a clear coating on it.
He rolled it over the entire floor.
Did your floors look like this when you used Pre-Prime 167? Did the Pre-Prime actually soak into the concrete so well that you can't tell it is there? Did it evaporate?
Picture attached. (The gray area is the two part crack filler under the pre prime.)
