Your Epoxy Floors Has Bubbles?

There are a lot of epoxy paints that have bubbles in them. You can find small bubbles, the size of the pinhead, or some large ones, that have an inch in diameter. They are found in the entire floor or as a group. A phenomenon calle "out gassin" is what causes this. This usually happens in the tim epoxy paint is drying up. Because the temperature rises, air is hotter and it expands into a bubble under the epoxy coating.

To prevent bubbles being formed in epoxy floors application of a primer is recommended. Make sure that you do not apply epoxy coating where there is direct sunlight and it would be good to use a drill with slower speed to mix the coating.

Use medium roller if you already decided to use one. Use gentle and slow motions when you are applying your epoxy paint. It is another thing that can help with bubbles that can appear on our garage floor.

You can use rotary scrubber ans some sandpaper to remove all those bubbles on your epoxy floor. First roughen the bubbled area with the sandpaper. And then get to dust cleaning. Use a rag dipped in solvent to clean the area you worked on. Apply another coating of epoxy when you are finished with this. One more bubble type is fisheyes. One of the reasons is the silicone that remained on the surface.

Use sandpaper of medium grit to clean this area in entirety. After this, scrupulously clean the area with a rag dipped in solvent. Now you can apply that epoxy coating you prepared for the session.

Consider shot blasting or sand blasting the entire epoxy coating in case the bubbles are spread all over that floor. Use sand blaster to remove the epoxy coat from the area you are working on. Afterwards clean the problem area with acid. In case you are working on a very small area, you can isolate it. Repair the area and then apply the coating again.

Moisture is also a cause of bubbles in our epoxy flooring. To verify this break one of the blisters thus formed and see if there is any moisture inside.
