Please consult the Technical Data Sheet for the applied self leveling compound to confirm compatibility and curing time prior to painting.

Assuming that is done and the floor is clean, dry, sound and prepared as in the Technical Data Sheet for the 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating, it could be applied directly without a primer.

Before application the concrete should be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content below 6%.

Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes.

Suitable mechanical treatments such as vacuum grit blasting or grinding are the preferred preparation methods to ensure best performance. Acid Etch treatment may also be suitable but would offer reduced performance for the system.

Pot life once mixed at 20°c is 45 minutes.

Our 402 Damp Proof Coating may be of interest to you on this project as this can be used as a primer or a high build coating in its own right for damp and/or minimally prepared substrates. It has been developed to supress residual construction moisture, allowing the user to coat new concrete floors earlier in fast track building programmes.

For further information on any of the above products mentioned, you can download the Technical Data Sheets from the 'Attachments' tab on each product page.

This product is for internal use only and will be affected by UV. 

For an exterior epoxy floor paint you can consider Rust-Oleum 9100 High Solids Epoxy followed by Rust-Oleum 9200 Rust-O-Thane.

We couldn’t guarantee the performance of our 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating over quarry tiles. The tiles would need diamond grinding to remove the top surface and to provide a porous key, which can be difficult to achieve. Also, the tile profile will be visible through the coating. The other issue with tiles, particularly in wet areas, is that water can be trapped below (that has soaked through the grout lines) and then once coated the trapped moisture can lead to the coating bubbling/de-bonding.

It's very difficult to apply the 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating too thickly so the most likely cause of patches not drying is the activator not being mixed in thoroughly enough with the base before use. Unfortunately at this stage there isn't a quick fix, you will need to remove any product that hasn't dried completely using scrapers, rags, etc. and then re-prepare and apply more 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating to bring the patches back in with the rest of the floor.
