Pulls up with tape

For such an expensive coating, it's performance is not great. Using it over previously sealed floors, it scuffs like crazy and peels up with tape even after two coats. I have had a lot more success with Insl-X tough shield paired with Insl-x Aqua coat for black coats. If you need White, honestly zinsser 123 primer is great for floors, though it is only in satin finish. (its so cheap though, you might as well seal it.)

Thank you for sharing your experience with Rosco's Tough Prime, even if it didn't perform as expected. When applying over previously sealed floors, Rosco recommends a scuff sand to give the coating something to grip, followed by a good cleaning to remove any dust or debris. We'd be happy to pass along any photos and information to Rosco to try and troubleshoot the issue if you'd like by reaching out at contact@starscenic.com
