I had concrete poured May 2 for my shop addition and plan on putting the same armorpoxy I did on my original shop. How long do I need to wait before applying the floor coating? I would really like to do it in 2 weeks if possible.

You want to wait at least 4 weeks.....and that is assuming it's not being rained on.

Quickest way to ruin a floor coating is to rush it.

The minimum is generally 28 days, but do the moisture test with clear plastic as we indicate in our instructions which are posted online. We have seen slabs cure in 20-30 days and others not for months. It's imperative to make sure that the slab is dry before coating or outgassing can cause bubbles.
