Wanted... Advice for sealing a concrete floor

Postby SPR » Tue Jan 11, 2011 6:51 pm

Does anyone with experience sealing a concrete floors have any advice for me on what might be the most durable/easiest to apply/middle of the road priced product to use for my shop floor?

the paint/epoxy stuff Tim used on his floor is nice. Very easy to clean up!

I prefer a nice mix of motor oil, ATF, and 90wt. The stuff I use seems to literally apply itself, and also seems to last forever.
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

I bought it at home depot. If I remember right it wasn't to expensive. You will need to etch your floors before putting it down.

Currently, I am testing with motor oil and gasoline treatments, but would like to try something with more gloss.

Tim, how has the epoxy held up? Any peeling or chipping?

Thanks for the advice.

I wish I would have done a second coat. But other then that it is holding up surprisingly well for doing it myselft at home. There is a couple spots where it has chipped or worn thin but it I had done a second coat I wouldn't have the problem. It still looks really good. I would recomend against the colored chips that come with it. It will make it a lot harder to find a dropped screw or bolt. You just take to two parts of opoxy and mix them then apply with a paint roller. It was really easy to do.

The light grey color is great, I think it makes it brighter in the shop. And the SuperClean mop sessions are a breeze!

So... you don't think that I should go with the color red?
