been thinking of looking at a resin floor course ,becoming very popular ,any thoughts ,

I, I did the course, done three works, then I stopped.
too many free days, too many awaited for drying.
shame because I liked it, a lot of money and little effort.
but too many days unladen

How long was the course please

my, basic course of a day, cementitious base resin. (Type spatulated)
is a fairly simple job, each job should last 5 days, 5 10 or 30 square meters, always working hours five days.
rely a lot more practice. that getting courses.
the basic course you need to know the procedure. then a lot of practice

Used to do 2 part resins, maybe not the same thing though.

Two-component, applied with a roller?

Same thing then Antonio, that's when we used spike rollers to avoid any air bubbles in the resin.

I suspect Antonio is talking about Italian plaster effect for walls, and Protiler is after epoxy resin for floors floors.

 

[Italy]

yes, my system is as photos.
The resin is applied only at the end, transparent, glossy or matte.

I also did the course for this system, the procedure is the same as before,
with added, various decorations and final resin it is nearly 1 cm high, and is self-leveling.
but I only did the course.

whereas this system, is the most easy and affordable for everyone, and spread with two-component roller. first horizontal, then vertical. to max 24 hours apart.
I forgot, the first and last system is good, both to the wall, which for floors.

I was obviously wrong. Antonios system does seem epoxy based, but doesn't seem the same as I've been researching. This type of flooring is pretty common in America, and there's a lot of stuff on youtube as to how to apply it, but I've only come across one supplier in England, and he's not very easy to deal with. Whilst Antonios system was 1cm thick, and self leveling, most epoxy systems work on the basis of several colours mixed into epoxy resin, and then poured on the primed floor, and then spread around using a roller, and it's usually strong enough to only need one coat.

Has anyone come across courses in the UK for this stuff.
