Epoxy Floor Covering

I have a 24' x 24' area (cement) inside of my shed that I am thinking about covering with the roll on expoxy floor covering. I have never done this before and according to the directions it seems fairly easy.

Does anyone have any tips for applying this coating? I would hate for something to go wrong when I have already started applying the epoxy.

Thanks!!!

prep is the key. First make sure there is a vapor barrier, do this by placing a piece of small plastic and tape it down, allow 24 hrs if no moisture you are ok to paint if moisture i wouldnt paint. If you really want to do this here is what i would do. I would clean it with a mixture of muratic acid and water. scrub with a stiff broom and wash it down well. Allow to dry for couple of days then do the 2 part epoxy. most will require 2 coats. the hard part is that the mixture is only good for 2hrs or so so u either have to do some measuring or buy two gallons.
