What's the difference between 4-Hour and 8-Hour EPIC®?

EPIC® offers two different dry times: 4-Hour and 8-Hour. These times indicate how long after application EPIC® will be dry. If scheduling requires the floor to be in use less than eight hours after EPIC® was applied, the 4-Hour version is necessary (but it must be allowed to dry for at least four hours).

However, another important difference is how long you are able to work with EPIC® during application (what is called "pot life"). For first-time applicators or Do-It-Yourself projects, we recommend using 8-Hour if possible, as it allows for the longest working time.

NOTE: this "working time" or "pot life" refers to the usable duration of mixed EPIC® in its container. Once EPIC® has been applied to a surface, it can be back-rolled for up to three minutes, but after that, it should be left alone until dry.
