After a few weeks of real life testing, here are my impressions of water-base epoxy with a glaze top coat.
The acrylic clear glaze does a good job of keeping the flakes in place but it does not possess the chemical resistant qualities that I expected.
The cure time of the epoxy and glaze is 14 days. Don’t park your car on the surface for the first week and don’t park more than overnight for the second week.
Don’t spill anything on the floor for the first 2 weeks.
Once cured, the glaze is resistant to motor oil, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, gasoline, WD-40 and hot tires. However, even after full curing the glaze will not stand up to solvents. Solvents must be removed immediately. For example, if dirty brake cleaner is left on the surface for 1 hour the glaze will be permanently discolored,
