Hey all just had a couple questions using rusto professional epoxyshield. I know there's better products but I had Home Depot credit to spend and got it half off.

Anyway, this week has been hectic for me and I hoped to paint yesterday but I had to edge the resurfaced floor first and it didn't dry in time. The rest of the week I am working and can only paint at night. Should I wait until I can do it in daylight or does it not matter?

How long should I TRULY wait before putting objects back on the floor. I have welders and tool boxes and whatnot that aren't the lightest objects. I'm afraid if I go with the 2-3 days they suggest i will end up indenting the finish?

What's the best way to mask off the foundation wall?

The time of day does not matter as much as long as you can see and as long as there are not big temperature swings during or just after the install. Make sure you are following the temperature and humidity guidelines.

For heavy objects you want to wait a minimum of 72 hours before bringing them in. They won't indent the finish. Epoxy generally takes almost 7 days to fully cure, but the amount of curing that takes place between day 4 and 7 is not close to what takes place between time of application and day 3.
