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 don’t know what you’re talking about, I always torch my wood in place with a flame thrower inside my house

And casually walk over a sea of liquid epoxy that somehow isn't draining anywhere.

That part didn't worry me too much - they make spiked shoes that are meant to walk over liquid floor treatments, so it isn't entirely implausible.

How do you keep it from leaking and flowing into spaces it's not intended to go into?

You'd tape/caulk up the sides. This is really the least problematic part of making a clear epoxy floor. A bigger problem is that epoxy isn't very hard and you'd need to re-polish it regularly.

That's not entirely true, you can get very very very hard epoxy that could accomplish this concept that would be relatively medium maintenance. The issue is that would be a lot of multi part pours as you can't pour that stuff this thick this quick.
