I often encounter a common question from our clients: Can a cement overlay be applied over vinyl tile? While our preferred approach leans towards tile removal for optimal adhesion and longevity, practical situations sometimes call for creative solutions. Here's a glimpse into our strategy: 1️⃣Our secret sauce lies in meticulous preparation. We believe that scuffing up the surface is essential for establishing the perfect profile for the cement overlay. A touch of sanding goes a long way! 2️⃣ In instances where tile removal isn't feasible, especially with asbestos vinyl tile, we adapt and transform challenges into opportunities. It's about making the most of the existing situation. 3️⃣ Ensuring a pristine surface is non-negotiable. From comprehensive wax stripping to a thorough sanding session, every detail matters in achieving a flawless result. Remember these Pro-Tips next time to make your project impeccable and stunning!

Today, I'm thrilled to share one of my favorite epoxy art secrets that takes creations to unparalleled heights – the art of Spritzing! In the realm of epoxy design, timing isn't just crucial; it's the master key to unlocking extraordinary texture effects. What is Spritzing? It's the magical dance where acetone meets the surface, orchestrating a mesmerizing separation in pigments. The result? A captivating display of unique patterns and textures that infuse depth and character into every epoxy masterpiece. Keep both acetone and denatured alcohol at the ready. It's a delicate dance – too soon, and the effect is lost; too late, and you miss out on texture altogether. Our artisans have mastered this for the ultimate WOW factor! The beauty of spritzing lies in its ability to explore boundless creative possibilities. Experiment with colors, timing, and application techniques to weave a narrative into your epoxy floor.
