Applying resin on a floor can give it a glossy and durable finish. Whether you want to revamp your living space or give a commercial area a sleek look, resin is a popular choice. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of applying resin on a floor to achieve professional results.

What You Will Need:

  • Resin coating kit
  • Epoxy resin
  • Painter’s tape
  • Paint roller
  • Mixing paddle
  • Sander
  • Sandpaper
  • Cleaner/degreaser
  • Wax
  • Rubber gloves
  • Protective eyewear
  • Drop cloths or plastic sheets

Step 1: Preparation

Clean the floor thoroughly with a cleaner/degreaser to remove any dirt, dust, or oil. Sand the floor using a sander and fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface. Make sure to wear a mask and protective eyewear. Once done, wipe the floor clean of any dust or debris.

Step 2: Protect Surrounding Areas

Use painter’s tape to protect walls, baseboards, and any other areas you do not want the resin to come into contact with. Lay down drop cloths or plastic sheets to protect adjacent surfaces from accidental spills or splatters.

Step 3: Mix the Resin

Follow the instructions on your resin coating kit to properly mix the epoxy resin. Typically, you’ll need to combine the resin and hardener in the recommended ratio and stir them together using a mixing paddle. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while handling the resin.

Step 4: Apply the Resin

Pour the mixed resin onto the floor in sections. Use a paint roller to spread the resin evenly, working from one side of the room to the other. Make sure to coat the entire floor surface, maintaining a consistent thickness throughout. Take your time and work carefully to avoid bubbles or uneven application.

Step 5: Eliminate Bubbles

After applying the resin, use a heat gun or a torch to gently move over the surface to eliminate any air bubbles. Be cautious not to linger in one spot for too long as excessive heat can cause the resin to become deformed.

Step 6: Cure and Finish

Allow the resin to cure according to the instructions provided with your resin coating kit. This typically takes about 24-48 hours. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during curing. Once the resin is fully cured, apply a thin layer of wax to enhance the shine and protect the floor from scratches.

By following these steps, you can successfully apply resin on a floor and transform its appearance. Remember to prepare the surface, protect surrounding areas, mix the resin correctly, apply it evenly, and eliminate any bubbles. With proper curing and finishing, your newly coated floor will have a beautiful and durable finish that will last for years to come.

Always be sure to read and follow the instructions provided with your specific resin coating kit to ensure optimal results. Happy resin coating!
