Epoxy floor coating problem solving guide page 10 prevention.
Concrete that has not been cured properly and is soft punky.
If air bubbles are present in coating allow to sit briefly before pouring on the floor.
Follow label and data page directions for the appropriate applicator.
Using a roller to pick out the bubbles from the floor.
Woven shed resistant rollers are recommended.
After applying coatings with a squeegee you should never take a dry roller cover and roll out the floor.
Follow directions for mixing and using primer.
Apply paint gradually if using a roller.
For example moisture cured urethane mcu coatings that dry and cure by reaction with atmospheric moisture and other coating types i e aliphatic polyurethanes that are formulated with moisture sensitive components can also bubble.
Fixes during prime coat installation.

Use this technique for removing air bubbl.
Some people mistakenly assume that they appear later once the floor has cured.
If there is a very noticeable amount of air bubbles during application try slowing down application speed.
Air moving in and out of the concrete slab with changes in temperature and barometric pressure.
Eliminate any source of direct air blowing onto the surface.
If bubbles are seen while applying the primer a metal porcupine roller can be used to pop the surface tension as bubbles start to develop.
Bubbles sometimes form within the coating or on the backside of the coating film.
Effectively remove air bubbles from an epoxy coating using acetone spray technique.
Always follow recommended nap and type of cover.
Spike rollers can be used if bubbles appear but may not completely remove them.
Little pinholes in the floor.
This can often prevent the outgassing bubble from forming and allow the primer to fill in the pinhole that would otherwise be created.
Aides in flow out and leveling.
If outgassing bubbles are seen during the primer application a metal porcupine roller can be used to pop the surface tension as bubbles start to develop.
Rapid stirring for a prolonged period can introduce air bubbles into the paint that might persist in the dried paint coat.
