Repeat for second coat

Well, the next step is to repeat the whole process. (Surprise!)

First, I lightly sanded the surface with 220 grit sandpaper. Then, I vacuumed the surface a few times. After that, I wiped it off with a rag moistened in hot water to clean away the epoxy dust. Then, of course, I let it dry completely.

Then, I applied the second layer of epoxy with a thin foam roller and a foam brush.

Stay tuned, to see what mysteries await us in applying the third coat!
