Applying broadcast sand during the epoxy coating process is a critical step for achieving maximum traction. The process involves evenly distributing the sand across the wet epoxy surface, ensuring that the particles are embedded into the coating. This technique helps to create a uniform, textured surface that enhances grip. After the epoxy cures, the excess sand is removed, leaving behind a durable and slip-resistant floor. Proper application is key to ensuring the effectiveness of the broadcast sand (link), and professionals often recommend using specialized equipment to achieve the best results.
