• EC-38 is primarily designed for use on concrete floors, tables and counter tops.
• Liquid Dazzle® Epoxy can be topcoated with a variety of sealers from high gloss to satin, as desired.

• The surface must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free of grease, paint, oil, dust, curing agents, laitance or any foreign material that will prevent proper adhesion.
• The concrete should be at least 2,500 PSI and porous or rough enough to allow the product to soak in.
• A minimum of 28 days curing time is required on all concrete.
• Prior to starting work, test existing concrete slab for efflorescence, moisture and hydrostatic pressure.

• Pre-cut and clean all cracks and joints with a concrete diamond blade to at least ¼ x ¼ inch.
• Prepare concrete to a profile equal to CSP 3-4 as specified by ICRI.
• Methods may vary according to the condition and hardness of the concrete.
• Other factors include the forecasted use of the surface and the environment in which it is to be installed.
• When preparing the surface use caution when shot blasting, scarifying too aggressively, leaving grind marks or grinding too smooth.

• All concrete should be tested for moisture before applying a seamless coating.
• If moisture emissions exceed 5 lbs/1000 square feet/24 hours (ASTM F1869) or if the relative humidity (RH) exceeds 75% (ASTM F2170), contact the manufacturer before application.

• Premix each component separately.
• For color consistency, box all part A’s. In a clean bucket, mix 2 parts A with 1 part B (by volume) of EC-38.
• Mix thoroughly with a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill motor for 3-4 minutes.
• Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container during mixing.
• After mixing is completed, remove material from container within 5 minutes, as epoxy will begin to generate heat.
• Spread immediately onto the floor.
• As product is spread out, you will have longer working time (10-15 minutes at 70°F).

Thinning of EC-38 is not recommended.

• Coverage will vary depending on condition of surface and desired thickness.
• As a coating: approximately 50 square feet per gallon.

• Applying Product Apply EC-38 with an 1/8 inch notched trowel, being sure to get even coverage over the entire floor, to achieve the published coverage rate.
• Back roll the EC-38 with a loop roller to create an even look.
• To help reduce the possibility of bubbles, you may use a porcupine roller at this stage of the application.
• To avoid bubbles, best to apply EC-38 when temperature is dropping and in an area that is not in direct sunlight.
• After loop and porcupine rolling, the dynamic drift begins to change the look of the coating.

• You may re-coat as soon as the surface is dry to touch or in about 4-8 hours (but not later than 24 hours).
• Light foot traffic may be permitted in 8-10 hours, light vehicle traffic in 48 hours, heavy traffic in 3 days.
• All times are based on average temperature of 70 degrees F and 50% humidity.
• Cooler temperatures will increase drying time.

• Uncured material should be removed with an environmentally-safe solvent.
• Cured material should be removed mechanically.

• This product is designed for professional use only.
• Be sure to measure and mix properly. Be aware of the pot life of mixed epoxy.
• Do not apply when temperatures are below 50°F or above 90°F.
• Hot or cold weather will affect dry times.
• Epoxy must be cured for a minimum of 24 hours before coming in contact with water.
• Skid-resistant additives are available, such as CA-30 or CA-31.
• For interior use only unless protected by a UV-resistant coating.
• Solvents may be required in cooler weather to lower viscosity and increase coverage of 100% solids.
• Please check with local laws governing the use of solvents.
• Do not allow Westcoat products to freeze.
