In this review the 40 lb box of Decorative Chip Flakes (FB-908 Stargazer Blend) is evaluated for homeowners and contractors who want an easy way to upgrade epoxy and resinous floors. The bottom line: it is ideal for garage and basement projects because the blend hides concrete imperfections while adding a coordinated, durable finish that is simple to apply. For anyone laying down a broadcast flake floor over epoxy, this product delivers attractive color and coverage without complicated steps.

Key Features

• Designed for many applications: The flakes are intended for commercial, industrial and residential flooring, making them versatile for garages, basements, laundry rooms and showrooms.
• Easy to use: These decorative chips can be broadcast over epoxy or other resinous coatings by hand or mechanical spread, allowing DIYers and pros to achieve a professional look.
• Hides imperfections: The multicolor Stargazer blend masks small cracks and blemishes in concrete, reducing the need for extensive surface prep.
• Durable material: Made from high quality materials to resist wear in traffic areas and protect the underlying surface once sealed.
• Customizable appearance: Because flakes come in a blend, you can control coverage and density to achieve the exact finish and texture you prefer.

Who It's For

This product suits homeowners doing garage floor makeovers, basement remodelers, and contractors who need a convenient decorative broadcast chip for epoxy systems. It is especially helpful for those who value an economical way to combine protection with improved appearance.

It is less appropriate for applications requiring a single solid color or where a matched manufacturer color system is mandatory; in those cases a pre-colored aggregate or a proprietary system recommended by the coating manufacturer may be a better choice.
