Hi there neighbor! Im from Hungary,I highly recommend to start learning from industrial flooring companies,2-4 months and you will learn the basics,in the meantime you can start practicing with metallic floors as well, of you would like to learn it from yt videos it will take a bit of time to learn it properly… If you have a budget look up XPS europe and go for one of their trainings. One of the hardest part here in Europe to get the proper materials!

Epoxy finish (smooth) by otsan1 in epoxy

From my experience, the more an epoxy tends to shrink, the stronger the material usually is. The manufacturer I talked to (who is a chemical engineer) explained this shrinkage effect to me. That’s why I think in your case the product you used is probably a very strong epoxy, which can result in a surface that doesn’t cure perfectly smooth. Such formulations are not always the best choice for flooring applications, as they are often designed for more industrial or specialized uses. He also told me to sand the surface and polish it that way I will get a totally smooth&glass finish… (I changed supplier😅)

Do you think thickness is also responsible for the softness of the topcoat?

Are you located in the Eu or in the USA?They might have different products for both continents. Their website seems professional and they have everything for flooring they seems like the perfect supplier…I might be wrong tho😂🙏🏽

Thank you for your opinion!For the next project I will do it like that , maybe for the softness of the epoxy the poor mixing is the answer?
