SHARKGRIP HIGH GLOSS EPOXY
Zero-Waste Commercial Refinishing Product
A modified epoxy built for commercial refinishers who want real porcelain-like appearance, dry-to-touch speed, fast caulk time, long pot life, portability, and a direct-to-surface system that eliminates unnecessary steps.
1:1 Easy Mixing
Dry To Touch 15–20 Min
Fast Caulk Time
Extended Pot Life
No Primer Needed
82% Solids • ISO-Free
SharkGrip / EAH Professional Positioning
This is the SharkGrip modified epoxy many commercial refinishers rely on when they need one coating that is portable, VOC compliant, direct to surface, immersion-service capable, easy to mix on the fly, and extremely efficient in real run-and-gun production work.
1. Zero-Waste Speed Is the Real Story
Dry To Touch in 15–20 Minutes
Most refinishers immediately notice how fast this product tacks. That fast dry-to-touch window helps crews pull tape, caulk sooner, move faster, and keep jobs flowing without standing around waiting for the surface to settle.
What they love: quick caulk time without giving up workability in the cup.
Extended Pot Life Changes Everything
The chemistry gives you a rare combination: fast tack on the surface with extended usable life in the cup. Many commercial refinishers mix in the morning and keep moving all day, which is why this system earns its reputation as a true zero-waste commercial product.
Run-and-gun friendly: mix when you arrive, prep all day if needed, then spray when ready.
2. Why Commercial Refinishers Keep Talking About It
Fast Tack-Up
Dry to touch in roughly 15–20 minutes, helping crews keep production moving.
Fast Caulk Time
A major real-world advantage for apartment turns and occupied schedules.
Extended Cup Life
Mixed product remains usable far longer than people expect from something that tacks this fast.
Zero-Waste Value
Less wasted mixed material means stronger margins over time.
In South Texas and other high-volume markets, refinishers repeatedly describe the same surprise: once they understand the induction step, they realize the product can be mixed early, carried through a long workday, and still remain practical. That is the chemistry advantage this system is known for.
3. Direct-To-Surface Simplicity Saves Time
No Primer or Bonding Agent Needed
When the surface is clean, dry, and dull, this product does not require a separate primer or bonding agent. That eliminates extra steps, cuts inventory, improves portability, and makes the system easier to run in the field.
Real Porcelain-Like Appearance
The finish has the rich, hard look that makes refinishers describe it as real porcelain-like. It is also a true immersion-service product, giving it a wider performance story than many coatings used only for ordinary splash-zone work.
4. Manual Speck Is Where It Really Shines
Why Manual Speck Users Love It
Refinishers who manual speck often rave about this epoxy because the process stays moving. Spray your base color, speck in one or two colors, and keep going. There is no separate primer base coat to wait on, no waterbase fleck dry stage, no nib sanding before clear, and no extra indoor clear-coat masking and exhausting step.
Production advantage: fewer stops, fewer waiting periods, fewer chances to lose time.
Not multi-Spec
Manual speck lets contractors build decorative stone-like looks with less staging and fewer interruptions than a full multispec-plus-clear workflow.
5. Manual Speck vs. Traditional Multispec Workflow
| Step |
Traditional Multispec Process |
Modified Epoxy Manual Speck |
| Base stage |
Requires primer/base considerations and full flash discipline. |
Spray base color directly and keep moving. |
| Fleck stage |
Waterbase fleck must dry correctly before next step. |
Manual speck colors are worked right into the process. |
| Nib control |
Often needs light sanding before clear so nibs do not stand proud. |
Removes a major stop point from the workflow. |
| Clear coat stage |
Requires more masking, exhaust control, and extra spraying indoors. |
No separate clear stage needed in this decorative workflow. |
| Run-and-gun value |
More staging, more waiting, more places to lose time. |
Base, speck, move on. Much easier for production work. |

6. 1:1 Mixing Simplicity — But Precision Still Matters
Easy to Teach
Mix equal parts Part A and Part B. That simplicity makes the system easier to train, easier to repeat, and easier to manage when crews are moving fast.
Pro tip: Easy mix works best when every batch is still measured carefully.
Critical Warning
Incorrect mixing can cause cure problems, gloss loss, weaker film performance, and over time may produce a slight amber coloring, especially noticeable in whites, off-whites, and light tones.
Important: Easy mix does not mean casual mix.
7. Mixing & Induction: The Silky Chemistry Advantage
Exact Mix Ratio
- 1 Part Part A (Resin)
- 1 Part Part B (Catalyst)
- Mix equal parts by volume
- Blend until fully uniform and streak-free
Typical Small Tub Mix
- 6 ounces Part A
- 6 ounces Part B
- Thin only as needed for equipment and conditions
Recommended Induction Time
After mixing Part A and Part B, allow the material to induct for 30 minutes. Many refinishers resist that at first, but once they see how the product relaxes and gets silkier, they understand why the wait pays off. The longer induction helps the product flow nicer, level better, and reward the applicator with a more refined spray feel.
With its unusually long pot life, the induction step becomes much less of a burden than people expect. You can mix on arrival, let it induct while you prep, and still have plenty of workable material when it is time to spray.
Thinning & Spray Equipment Guidance
Add thinner only after induction, immediately before spraying.
- Thinning depends on temperature, humidity, and airflow.
- 2–3 stage turbines generally require more reducer.
- 5–6 stage turbines require less due to better atomization.
- Always spray a test panel when conditions or equipment change.
Why People Call It Zero-Waste
The remarkable part is not just that it tacks fast. It is that the product can remain workable for a very long time in the cup. Commercial users often describe mixing in the morning and staying productive all day, which dramatically reduces wasted mixed material.
8. Low Odor, ISO-Free, 82% Solids, Any Color
Built for Real Job Sites
This system is ISO-free, low odor, VOC compliant at 82% solids, and available in virtually any color. That gives commercial crews a durable high-solids product without dragging more complexity into occupied workspaces.
Portable, Simple, Efficient
No primer. No separate bonding agent. Easy 1:1 mixing. Portable enough for mobile refinishers and efficient enough for high-volume commercial shops that need repeatable workflow without clutter.
9. Immersion Service vs. Cure Time
Read This Carefully
Immersion-rated does not mean immersion-ready tomorrow. This epoxy is immersion-service rated, but immersion capability is achieved only after full chemical cure and crosslinking — not when it merely feels dry to the touch.
Splash Zone (Tubs & Tile)
Intermittent water exposure that drains after use.
Typical return to service: next day*
Full Immersion (Pools / Tanks)
Constant submersion plus hydrostatic pressure.
Minimum cure before filling: 7 days**
Important: Do not confuse an immersion rating with immediate immersion readiness. Cure science governs performance — not label wording.
* Next-day splash-zone service assumes correct mix ratio, proper film build, adequate temperature and ventilation, and no standing water.
** Immersion cure time varies with temperature, ventilation, film thickness, reducer selection, and mix accuracy.
