The Poly Metallic Course is officially LIVE inside the Concrete & Coatings School — and this one’s special. We’re pulling back the curtain on UV-stable metallic systems — designed for premium white and artistic metallic floors using Matrix Products POLY FLOW 100X. ✨ This is the exact system we’re using on: • 🔥 10,000 sq. ft. white metallic showroom floor (dropping the week of Thanksgiving) • ⚾️ 2,000 sq. ft. MLB player’s custom garage (January in Georgia) 🎥 COMING SOON (12/25) The McLaren Metallic Epoxy Course — a full double garage metallic epoxy masterpiece, filmed start to finish and packed with design, installation, and high value lessons that define the standard for high end metallic installs. 💥 SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE (11/23) Sunday @7PM (CT) – Join the Live Launch Event We’ll cover: - Why we use poly instead of epoxy for white floors - How the look, working time, and clarity differ - How to sell, install, and protect high-value metallic jobs - What’s coming next inside the School 👉 Join the live event here on n 11/23: https://www.skool.com/live/jxBFhm68qBs 💰 ONE-TIME LAUNCH OFFER To celebrate, all School members can grab the new Poly Metallic Course for $197 (regularly $250) — available through Sunday at midnight only (goto the classroom tab to access now). This is your chance to learn the exact system behind six-figure metallic floors and UV-stable white finishes that sell themselves. 🧱 What’s New Inside the School ✅ Poly Metallic Course – Now Live ✅ McLaren Metallic Epoxy Course – Coming Soon ✅ Beginner Track – Starting your coatings business ✅ Experienced Track – Advanced installs & scaling systems Every course inside the School is filmed on real projects, by the Floor Rescue team, powered by Matrix Products — giving you access to real systems, proven processes, and results that last. 🔥 Drop a comment below: What do you want to see next — more metallics, polished concrete, or business growth systems?

💦 Moisture is one of the top causes of coating failures, and most installers still misunderstand how concrete actually behaves. People rely on surface readings, seasonal changes, or “rule of thumb” methods that have nothing to do with what’s happening inside the slab. Here’s the simple, accurate, installer-focused truth. Concrete Is a Sponge 🧽 Concrete literally acts like a sponge. • It holds more water than the cement needs • The top dries first because it’s exposed to air • The bottom stays wet because it sits on soil that’s basically 100% humidity This creates a moisture gradient from top to bottom. Dry on the surface. Wet underneath. Understanding that one concept unlocks everything else. Why a Slab Can Look Dry Today and Fail Tomorrow The ground under a slab never runs out of moisture. If the vapor retarder is missing or compromised, the slab constantly absorbs water from the soil and releases it upward. When you apply a low-permeance system (epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, MVB, etc.): • You block evaporation • Moisture gets trapped • The slab rebalances toward the humidity of the soil • And failures begin — bubbles, blisters, darkening, outgassing, mapping This is why floors fail after installation, not before. Why Vapor Retarders Matter ASTM requires vapor retarders under moisture-sensitive flooring for one reason: To stop ground moisture from entering the slab. Even with a vapor retarder, you still must verify the internal RH before sealing anything. Never assume. Always test. Why RH Testing at 40% Depth Is the Gold Standard Surface readings and pin meters only tell you what’s happening at the top — which is always the driest part of the slab. ASTM F2170 in-situ RH testing measures humidity inside the slab at 40% depth because: • It predicts the RH the surface will rise to once sealed • It shows the real conditions where failures occur • Manufacturers base their limits on this number • It removes guesswork and protects your installs This is why 40% RH testing is the trusted standard.

Project Highlights & Key Takeaways Light gray base created cloud effect in this pearl and off-white metallic combo. Solid pigments resist flow and can stick to the floor; remember to mix them into metallic or clear layers for better movement. After demoing tile, we patched with a slurry mix and then our pigmented MVB and finished with satin, high-wear urethane for durability. Key tip—highlight batches have about 20 minutes of pot life, so we ran 3 batches (12 kits = 36 gallons) for our 1,200 ft² install to keep things fresh and flowing. 1. Gray Base + White & Pearl Metallics = Layered Color Shift The light gray base isn’t just a neutral canvas—it bleeds through the pearl and white metallics to create unexpected hues and soft tonal shifts. This subtle interplay enhances depth and richness. 2. Solid Pigments Limit Fluidity Solids stick. When mixed directly into epoxy, they can weigh down the flow and freeze your design. To preserve dynamic movement, blend solids into clear or metallic epoxy layers—this encourages fluid dispersion and flow capability. 3. Tile Demo Needed Slurry Repair After tile removal, the floor had minor concrete damage. We repaired it with an epoxy slurry, ensuring a smooth and contiguous surface ready for decorative layering—a crucial step for both aesthetics and adhesion. 4. Durable Satin Urethane Finish for Foot Traffic Topped the project with a satin-textured, high-wear urethane. This clear topcoat delivers exceptional abrasion resistance, UV stability, and longevity, making it ideal for high-traffic church environments 5. Pot Life Awareness with Highlight Colors When working with metallic highlight mixes—especially over large areas like your 1,200 ft² project—time is tight. Pot life is often 20 minutes or less. We managed this by working in three batches of four kits each (2 pearl, 1 white, ½ white + highlights), totaling 12 kits (36 gallons). This kept each mix fresh and fluid across the surface.

If you miss this step, nothing else matters. This is where great installs begin — with the right surface prep, grinding tools, and moisture control systems that make floors last. What you’ll find here: - 🛠 Grinder setups, tooling types, and vacuum systems - 🌡 Moisture testing methods (and when you must use them) - ⚠️ Common prep failures that cost you the job - 🧱 Profiling, patching, and primer techniques - 🧠 Smart systems for both new slabs and sketchy concrete This isn’t the sexy part of the job — it’s the essential part. And it’s where professionals separate from the pack. 💬 First post question:What’s your current grinder setup — and do you feel confident in your moisture strategy? Strong floors start with solid prep. Let’s make it right from the ground up.
