Frequently Asked Questions:
When I mix/apply my clear coat it turns milky white, plus it isn't a full gallon. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
The waterborne clearcoat epoxy is a thin mil coating that is geared to cover over 300 sq. ft. a kit (Part A Part B) so it is not a full gallon. It starts off white and turns crystal clear as it cures. Thicker areas take longer to cure and turn clear.
