I will post details in the Trained Contractors section. I feel that this info should be for Elite Crete contractors and not for people using other products looking for a few good free tips.

Bruce,
The way I kept the lines crisp has al ot to do with the tan coat of Thin Finish. Once the Thin finish was down I taped it off using blue painters tape, let the tape hang over the edge about a 1/16" and pressed it down to the black epoxy below. When the green colored epoxy was applied I would wet my magic trowel with epoxy and set t on the edge of the tape and pull away from the tan color. Immediately after that coat was applied we pulled the tape. After the green area dried we did the tan area. We did not reverse tape. I applied by first coat of epoxy in the tan area with a steel trowel and paint brush being careful to only work a small amount to the edge, since I was applying a final top coat. I hope this answers your question.

Larry,
I would first get on the same page as your distributor. As he will be the easiest person to contact if something would go wrong. Make sure you prep the floor well, I like to spiral grind, with a 20-40 grit diamond segment. Shot blast works well but most of the time with a reflector floor you see "corn row" marks. Remove as much dust from the floor and the air in the room as possible. Try to avoid using water to clean the floor. I like to grind and vacuum one day, then come back next day use a micro fiber mop to remove remaining dust. Coming back the next day helps let the dust in the air settle before you apply your epoxy. With a sand to rejection this is not as important. Have extra tools on hand. Once you mix the epoxy do not let it sit in the bucket pour it out and spread immediately. If you are back rolling the epoxy make sure you have a good lint free roller cover. Depending on the look you are going for you may want to use PT-4 for your primer coat. Have enough guys on staff. These are just a few tips. depending on your specific application there may be a few other tricks, best advice talk to your distributor and let him help you create a plan of attack for your project. Feel free to call me with any questions you may have pertaining to this project, many will tell you I love to talk

We went back last week to clean and re wax the floor after six months of use. They wanted it to look its best since they were hosting the local Chamber of Comerace meeting. Also first time I have been back since the move in.
