I'm battin a 1000 so far.

Garage floor is hairy but is shaping up.

Hangar floor has a lot or roller V marks and areas were its glossier than others.

Sherwin Williams said to role the Rexthane down opposite of the epoxy to help even out the shine.

Any feedback before I put the Rexthane down?

Thanks

Are you using a non skid? Sometimes addition of a non skid can 'de gloss' a bit which tends to hide issues in the floor.

Perhaps adding a product like Shark Grip or Skid Tex would help to give this floor a more cosmetically-appealing final result?

Did you check with them on what rollers to use and roller methods. I know for RB we have very specific suggestions

Yes. Followed directions to a T.

They think it's too hot out for such a large area, 2500sf. They want me to put the top coat on very early or at night.
It's also the same color. They're saying that should give a it a uniform finish.

Will be interesting to see the results.

In our experience topcoat rarely 'fixes' a floor since topcoats are thin and have high spread rates and do very little to fix irregularities and such. A colored topcoat will though fix color-unevenness, but not texture issues.

What roller cover are you using and how big of a section are you coating at a time. Tends to go better if you work in areas you can reach like a 4x4 square.

Ok just finished the garage. The Rexthane is MUCH darker than the epoxy that went down. Everything is the same color code.

It went on beautifully. I can see where it will help the color unevenness.
It's not going to hide the fiberglass hairs, I don't expect that.
The hairs are turning into sort of a grip.

Pics in the am.
