The method of making a terrazzo surface from recycled glass involves several steps. First, the substrate over which the terrazzo layer is formed is conditioned and primed. Second, an epoxy mixture is made by mixing crushed recycled glass, epoxy resin and epoxy primer. Third, the epoxy mixture is poured over the substrate to a height of 3/8" (1 cm} nominally. Fourth, the mixture is troweled and all...
