Generally to get the best effect it is pushed with an air bast from a leaf blower or moved with a roller as the coating is just starting to set up. Too son and it falls back into a smooth effect. It is recommended to sift the powder prior to adding to the epoxy resin to remove clumps that tend to travel leaving streaks in the finish during as it is self leveling.
