Everflow by MPC Epoxy Resin Floor Coating Kit, Light Grey, 3 Gallon

I have been reading and reading for weeks about epoxy floor coatings. My new pole barn is about 900 sqft and a new concrete floor. Waiting 6 weeks for the concrete to cure was the longest 6 weeks I have had in a while. One thing I have read is the coverage and some reviews seem to say they ran short. I was very apprehensive about this so I had ordered 4 3 gallon kits. 6 gallons for the first coat and 6 for the second along with 300lbs of flake. I rented a concrete grinder for a full day but finished the floor in 2 hours. When I returned the grinder my son was already mixing the color powder into the first 3 gallon kit. Followed the same procedures I have seen in 15 different YouTube videos on prep, pouring and flake tossing. The 1st coat was fantastic… the following morning when dry, it looked great. The 18” roller was HOT when I removed it from the handle from the catalytic reaction. HOT enough to drop on the ground from the high heat. It dried overnight and we Mixed the second batch for the second coat. it was better coverage and easier to go quickly. The spike shoes are absolutely necessary and the cheap ones fall off easily so put them on securely and double check them. Took an hour to re-coat…done 24 hours later the floor was hard enough to to walk on and looked spectacular. I have 2 friends who saw in the next day and are ordering the mpc-100 epoxy for their buildings It is only a few days but this is starting out so perfectly… EDIT: it has been 19 months and actively used…. Looks as good as the day we installed it. I did drop a few heavy tools and it chipped the surface ..some as big as a quarter. Will mix a small batch and try to patch it

I have been working with (deep pour) epoxy for many years & I was still very intimidated by this flooring project! I bought one kit for my small cabin & planned for months researching if it would be enough product, figuring out the pour technique, colors etc. I hope this review helps! I purchased a second 3 gallon kit last minute before starting & so glad I did! One of these kits is EXACTLY enough to cover 240sqft lol. But only ONE coat. Mixing the first batch, I added a white epoxy dye & used a squeegee to spread the first layer...then started mixing the second batch while still wet. This first coat is necessary to do a dirty pour technique to help it blend & flow. The second, mixed batch, I divide into smaller buckets with different mica powder colors added. Dumped each color into a larger bucket and did a dirty pour. Turns out for a full, complete dirty pour, u need LOT of epoxy. I could have used a couple more kits tbh for that method. I ended up doing the dirty pour, but not with as much coverage as needed...so I just poured out everything I had, every last bit in all the buckets and colors...at this point it was very random and I was desperate to have the pigment & coverage. I then went over everything Again with a squeegee. I was worried I wouldn't get that faux stone/marble look u get with dirty pour...but it came out SO nice! Not too bad for my first try. I'm confident & obsessed to do this again! If you have worked with epoxy u know that this stuff gets hot & will go off and cure in the bucket if you don't get it out & moving within 5-10 minutes. The kits directions on lid says to not leave in bucket for more than 5 minutes after mixing. This depends on the weather if it's 80 out I wouldn't delay. The large amount of mixed epoxy in bucket creates A LOT of heat! Pour mixed batch into smaller buckets asap if u know you need more time. This smaller amount creates less heat. Once you get it out on floor in a thin layer, you can work it for a good 20-30 minutes depending on weather/room temp. The product being more spread out & thin, creates less heat and you have time to work it with squeegee. If it's in direct sunlight or heat, forget about it...it will cure in minutes! Keep the a/c on if possible or work on cooler time of day. After you are done working...now u need the heat to cure this stuff. Wait at least 48 hrs before moving anything heavy onto floor Have your colorings etc ready..any long delay can destroy your project. Be sure to do a base color of paint on floor. Mix thoroughly the most important part! Around 2.5-3 minutes until u don't see any ribbons of unmixed product. Overall I'm super happy with this product & can't wait to do more! I transformed this run down, 1970s "jackrabbit homestead" from scary...to awesome. When I purchased this place it was full of birds nesting, broken roof & sad...now it's looking so luxurious!

I can't say anything negative here. I purchased 2 of the 3 gallon Grey kits to do 900 sqft of raw concrete in a shop addition. I covered about 1000 sqft with the 2 kits. Overall, it was easy to mix, it squeegeed out nicely and i back rolled it with good thick coverage. Was cured/hard in 24 hrs so that i could walk on it and I install shelves and work benches in that area. Overall seems to be a great product with a nice finish. Taking in to account that Im doing a workshop and not something that's aesthetic it has a really nice shiny finish that isn't really slippery.

Wish I could give this zero stars. Absolutely horrible product. I have been working with epoxy for a long time and have never seen anything like this. I bought two orders of epoxy, mixed both at the same time exactly how they should have been mixed. Within five minutes of mixing one bucket began smoking, the epoxy was completely solidified, the bucket melted all over my patio, and the epoxy got so hot after it solidified that it started cracking and popping shooting chunks of epoxy out of the bucket and into what little epoxy that I had just laid ruining it. The small amount that I was able to pour out started boiling and solidified with bubbles that looked like someone flash freezed a boiling pot of water. The other bucket was just fine and stayed in a liquid state for about 20-30 minutes as it should to give you time to work with it. When I reached out to the seller the response was basically “Our engineers reviewed this and found that the product was not defective and you did not dump the epoxy quick enough so we can not justify a refund”. First of all I am not an idiot and I am positive they did not get their engineers involved. Secondly I literally mixed it five minutes prior and after using epoxy for years I have never had a bucket set up and completely solidify that quick. Third of all why did one bucket have all these issues and the second one did not? This was a ton of money to spend on a defective product. With all the purchases I have made over the years this is my first bad review so obviously it is warranted do to atrocious customer service.

Products like this really need to be reviewed about 5 years after you put them down since just about anything can made to look good when wet. That said, this seems like a really good product. I had a few gallons of rustoleum epoxyshield left over from another project so I I decided to put it down in my new detached garage. I didn’t like the plain gray dull finish, so I spread a coat of this mpc100 and did a full broadcast flake. I used a 3 gallon kit over my 24x28 garage to get just enough material to bed the flake in. Knowing the flake would hold a lot of material, I mixed up 2 kits (6 gallons total) and spread a nice thick top coat over the flake. I’m thrilled with the results. I hope it’s as durable as it is beautiful and easy to use. I will be ordering 2 more kits to do my attached garage soon.

works ok, but buy twice as much as you're planning by sq ft. I did have some hot tire pick up, which I now need to repair.

Very good quality finish, looks like a thick layer of glass!

We loved the epoxy! Yes you need some help doing this. My husband was spreading while I was constantly stirring. It was easy to use and easy to mix. Not easy to clean off so don’t get it on anything you don’t want it on forever! Dried quickly. We had gotten the clear and added silver glitter onto our black concrete. Even had some left over and topped my wooden counter off. Everything came out perfect.
