If you'd like to use garage floor epoxy paint on wood, you can do so without much trouble. However, there are a few minor steps of preparation you need to go through, or you could end up having difficulties with adhesion.
Things You Will Need
-
Wash away dust and dirt from the wood using a pressure washer.
-
Scrape away any loose or peeling paint using a metal putty knife. Skip this step if the wood is unpainted.
-
Apply primer to the wood using the 3- to 4-inch paintbrush. Paint from left to right (or up and down) along with the grain of the wood, being careful to smooth any drips or runs.
-
Allow the primer to dry for at least two hours.
-
Clean the paintbrush using warm water.
-
Pour the epoxy resin into the 5-gallon bucket. Add the catalyst and stir the mixture thoroughly with a wooden stir stick.
-
Repeat Step 3, applying the garage floor epoxy paint this time, on top of the latex primer.
