Epoxy Makes the floor sticky!

[j b]

Anybody got any tips to deal with the sticky floor?

Plastic was a terrible idea. Paper wasn't much better because it ripped and I ended up with layers stuck to the bottom of my shoes.

What kind of airflow do you have?

My favorite saying is epoxy sticks to everything you want it to and everything you dont want it to.

But like questioned, airflow will fix it.

Or you could get a wide blade putty knife (6-8 inches) and spend a few hours and go over the floor by hand, assuming your floor is finished concrete. I find that once the epoxy dries, you can sweep a lot of it up just using a broom.

is it possible to use the spray on masking and then hose out with water?

My airflow was crap when I did the paper on the floor. I was trying a new setup. I think you are on to something.

I like the spray on masking idea.

I have thought about getting some of the sticky carpet protector film and seeing how well it sticks to concrete.

I'm thinking I might go buy the cheapest vinyl flooring I can find...

The entire volume of air in your booth should change at least once every 3 minutes. You should literally see the over spray heading toward the exhaust while spraying.

Is this from epoxy as a sealer?

It was for primer 1:1 mix.

I've been working on upgrading my airflow and filtration today.

I used vinyl kitchen flooring my booth, it worked pretty good for the conditions I had. Personally I thought clear was more of a problem than epoxy, but it wasn't too bad for me if I had fresh filters in my exhaust.

Picture of my floor when we were cutting it up, it did a nice job.
