DIY Job completed

Moved into my new house and did the acid etching as it was “new concrete.” Epoxy has some learning curves for sure. But I bought a solid kit since I didn’t watch to cheap out. Spent about $1200 CAD from magic resin. Got the poly for topcoat. I found the flake distribution difficult but overall I am happy with it. The topcoat is just settled and has very high gloss so there are some marks on the floor when looking as it didn’t “self level” as much as I hoped.

I used carbon black and dark grey chips in my own mix 70-30% 30 pounds had very little left over.

Overall I am happy as a first timer. Just looking for other opinions or feedback from any mistakes. I was very careful not to over work the topcoat and only used a squeegee east to went and then back-rolled.

My AI friend says I did solid, but now I bring it to the real tough judges of reddit.
