Immediately pour out the mixed Smith’s Epoxy UCE200 in ribbons onto the floor and continue this process tying into the wet edge with freshly mixed Smith’s Epoxy UCE200 until complete

OPTIONAL LAYERS or TOPCOATS: Allow the surface of Smith’s Epoxy UCE200 to thoroughly harden before walking on, sanding or applying additional layers and/or topcoats. Cooler temperatures will extend the cure time while hotter temperatures will reduce pot life and cure times.*See page 1 for approx. cure time references based on typical application temperatures

RECOAT WINDOW: *See page 1 for approx. recoat window based on typical application temperatures Sand, clean then solvent wipe / tack rag between coats for optimal appearance, especially when a gloss topcoat will be the final layer. After allowing Smith’s Epoxy UCE200 to cure overnight, use a low speed floor machine with 100 to 120 grit screens to scuff the surface then thoroughly clean and tack rag to remove dust prior to applying topcoats
