Other Accessories

Nothing in this category is the star of the floor, and every one of these items has held up a crew at some point. The pattern is the same across the list. They are cheap, they get used up, and they are usually discovered missing at the moment you need them.

Mixing and measuring is the first group. Graduated containers, lids and mixing cups matter more on this work than on ordinary painting, because two-component resins are ratio-dependent. A calibrated container is what keeps the ratio honest when the crew is moving fast. Lids matter for the leftovers and for anything you are storing between coats.

The second group is scraping and cutting. Carbide scrapers, wire brushes, putty knives and blades handle glue residue, high spots, splatter and edge work that a grinder cannot reach. Blades dull faster on concrete and cured resin than on anything else, so buy them in packs rather than singly.

The third group is containment and protection. Drop cloths, dust skirts and grommets keep dust and overspray where they belong, and a floating dust skirt on a grinder is part of the dust control setup rather than an optional accessory. Sprayers cover solvent wipe downs, cleaner application and dye work.

The practical advice is to stock these by the job, not by the item. Work out what a typical floor consumes, then keep that much on the truck plus one spare.
