Vinyl under clear epoxy??

[toodark]

I have a custy who wants to have a cut vinyl logo on his garage floor and he will be clear coating with rustoleum epoxy clear coat. Will the vinyl withstand the epoxy clear coat?

Thanks

it would work

yes, but i would suggest they spray it in numerous thin layers.

Moisture in the concrete will cause the vinyl to fail down the road, and any epoxy on top of it will crack. Seen it done.

Will still get that much moisture even if he paints the concrete?

Wasn't the question, Mosh.

Will the vinyl graphic have a reaction to the epoxy ??

In that cause you might want to put a coat of clear on the bare floor under the decal first.

He is going to paint the floor 1st, lay the graphic and then use a clear epoxy to seal it.

surely you don't me rustoleum out of a rattle can??? this guy is way over his head if so. he'll need to seal the cement first, apply the graphic and then use a two part system.

why is so much time and energy dedicated in the graphics industry to douche-ing up stuff?

Here is what he will be using

the clear said it was a two part "solvent based"... i'd do some testing for sure.
