The second coat went on smoother than the first since it was going over the top of porcelain-coating. Luckily, we live in Florida, so the temperature in late-November was still plenty warm enough to allow the epoxy to set before the cool night crept in. I went back the next day to see the results of my handiwork.
Overall, I am mostly pleased with how it came out. Except of course for the couple of drips I didn’t catch, and also for a few spots where I didn’t get both coats on heavily enough, so they look a little patchier than I hoped they would. I would call this refinishing job a success, especially with it being the first I’ve ever done.
AVOID THIS MISTAKE:
Wear gloves. I mean it! Being the type of person who does most things (like working in the garden or tearing out rotten wood) without wearing them, I forget how important they are. The Homax Tough As Tile box even came with the damned things (so awesome of the package to include them), and it still didn’t sink into my thick skull to actually put them on. So, I was left with porcelain-coating on my hands for about three days, as that’s how long it took to scrub and wear off. Be smart and don’t repeat my mistake.
