For what? All the furniture is in the shop right now and I have rolling dollies (harbor fright specials) and we just have to roll everything in.
Can I walk on it yet?

If you like your balls where they are currently located, the answer would be no, if you don't have any regard for your family jewels, sure you can walk on it and I'm betting you can watch Lisa kick you square in the nuts.

It'll be 3 days before any foot traffic, and 6 days when it gets the polyaspartic topcoat, then another 48 hours after that it can handle full traffic.

"Belle and Kevin Moving and Storage?" Get some help with the heavy stuff, even if it is on rollers. Lisa can bait them in with a dinner and once there you have their muscles.
I’m thinking No foot traffic till Complete…?
Blue booties I'd bet, probably not golf cleats.

Light foot traffic after 3 days, but after the polyaspartic gloss topcoat (and 48 more hours) it's supposed to be able withstand commercial traffic, but golf cleats wouldn't do good for any type flooring.
As I've been told, the polyaspartic topcoat makes it fairly impervious to scratches and wear, and it's UV stable, so nothing will yellow over time. I wanted to give Lisa a floor that was easy to maintain, but stood out above and beyond so she could be proud of her house. Yes, most everything I do is for her. She takes care of me, so I give her the best I have and can give her. Yeah, I'm sappy, but she's been by my side for 37 years and put up with me, so she can have whatever she wants.
You non-golfers are way behind the times. Metal spike cleats vanished 30 years ago ?
Golf shoes now have soft flexible star-shaped plastic cleats.

Kevin your floors are Beautiful, I have 1 cement floor and that’s our front porch which is part of the fireplace foundation, at the moment it’s a Rabbit cage and been that 9+ yrs
we love Harvey but I’d like to remodel the front porch the same as back porch and add ac, new hurricane rated windows and a nice entry door… before I’m 100 
And try my hand at doing your Coffee Metalic epoxy floor 
porch is only 8x8 but what a beautiful entry to a home that’d make

8' x 8' would cost you under $250.
Gawd damn!!
I just remembered I can't walk on the floor yet because I like my family jewels where they're at now. I'll wait a few more days. I learn quick!

I cheated and walked on it today. This epoxy is from a different place and it's already rock solid. Going to do the polyaspartic topcoat tomorrow and then Saturday it can withstand full traffic.
You can step on it all you like then.

Nope. I went to an inconspicuous area (inside where a door frame would be), and tried to dig in with a screwdriver and it scratched a little, but nothing else, so it's good for light traffic. 7 days is supposed to be full cure for epoxy.
