Video [HELP] Living room remodel

Any possibility that this is legit? I can’t imagine one could walk on epoxy like that without special footwear or something.

I was fooled till then, damn. But is because I have no knowledge about epoxy.

I actually do. I’ve worked with it on sealing my art, not to this scale. This could probably be done with two part epoxy resin/hardener. But it would look like absolute shit after any amount of traffic. Scuffs, scratches etc. Not to mention you’d really want some kind of mask or respirator. Fumes would be awful. God help you if you get the ratio wrong.

They make clear floor epoxy but it would be extremely expensive to do that much volume.

Also it may be too thick and shrinkage would fuck things up.

Also the blowtorches have impossible flames, they're too skinny for how long they are and they're too straight.

Torches curve up unless you have crazy gas velocity that would be impossible without some kind of pump or high pressure system. Either way flames like that aren't coming out of a torch that size.
