Q
do you need to etch new concrete before epoxy

Yes, etching new concrete is a critical step before applying epoxy. This process involves using a chemical or mechanical method to create a rough surface texture that improves the epoxy's bond to the concrete. New concrete, while seemingly rough, often has a smooth finish or residual release agents used during the pouring process that can inhibit adhesion. Etching effectively removes these impediments, ensuring the epoxy adheres properly and lasts longer. Skipping this step can lead to peeling or chipping of the epoxy layer, leading to eventual failure of the coating. Utilizing a proper etching solution, following manufacturer's instructions, and ensuring the surface is clean and dry post-etching are essential practices to prepare new concrete for epoxy application.
