I need to apply a two-pack epoxy floor in an outbuilding. Any advice?

It is important to remember that water based epoxy coatings will take longer to 'hard cure' than solvent based epoxies. Particular care must be taken during winter months when temperature fluctuations will affect the minimum overcoat time. A drop in temperature from 20 Centigrade to 10 Centigrade will result in overcoating being delayed from 16 hours to 72 hours. Optimum chemical and abrasion resistance will not be achieved until the final finishing coat is allowed to dry for a minimum of seven days. Optimum intercoat adhesion properties will only be achieved if subsequent coats are applied within seven days. Refer to product data sheets for more information.
