About this product
A solvent-free epoxy primer with a 45 minute pot life at 20°C. The sheet also asks that the kit be stored at 15 to 25°C for at least 8 hours before use and mixed continuously for at least 3 minutes.
Using this specific product
Virtus Resins Strongcoat Anti-slip Primer is listed here as the Two-pack solvent-free epoxy primer version for floors and non-slip surfaces. For mixing and curing epoxy, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Two-pack solvent-free epoxy primer; related versions can use different timing.
- For floors and non-slip surfaces, pay particular attention to mix ratio, batch size, temperature and pour thickness.
- Higher temperatures shorten pot life. At 20°C (68°F). The sheet states no temperature for this range.
How to check readiness
Check the coolest or thickest part for firmness before sanding, demolding or loading. The sheet gives a pot life of up to 45 minutes at 20°C. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required.
Avoid this mistake
A larger batch can heat faster while a thin film may cure more slowly.
