Applied sealer to my floor to start the week of. Review of Legacy Industrial

Short story of getting my floor sealed up.
build thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3648054

Bought some sealer from a local concrete dealer here in town and after looking at the facts sheet he gave me with it I noticed it said that it was not resistant to gas or any automotive fluid. Called the guy and he informed me that at that time he wasnt aware of any floor sealer that was resistant to gas and oils. seemed kinda strange to me.

So I sent a private message to legacy industrial on the board, thinking it would be a day or two hearing back i was worried about my project slipping behind the time line i have setup for it. I sent the message at about 4pm and was amazed when i received a call at about 4:10pm asking about the concrete sealer question i had. What great customer service! ordered the product and had it very quickly. wasnt sure if i should spray or roll it..so again sent a message to legacy industrial and again the message was responded to very quickly, i would have to bet faster then any other business i have ever dealt with.

Ordered the HD-6600 in a matte finish from them and started applying it Monday after work at about 7-7:30 finished up first coat at about 8:30pm took a nap for 4-5 hrs to wait to be able to put second coat on. finished the second about 2am. turned out pretty good i think. Being that i have never put down floor sealer i found it very easy to use and got good results with it. No question if i have anymore sealing work to do i know where my first call is going to be!

Appreciate your report on this.

As soon as this winter is over and it gets warm I'm going to do the same to my floor either the 6500 or the 6600. But I'm going to go with the extreme gloss.

So did you spray it or roll it on?

I ended up rolling it on with a 18" 3/8 nap roller..... which seem to leave a little texture to the sealer. which is plenty fine with me, might help with grip a little bit. on the can it states if spraying it is required to back roll.

What was your floor prep? Was the concrete sealed after you placed the floor to cure? Love Love the truck!

Floor prep was just hosing it down, didnt use any soap and scrubbed with a push broom and squeegeed off and left dry for two days.

The floor had been down for about a little over a month, which looking back I wish I would have sealed it before doing any of the construction inside due to the fact that there was some dirt and marks that I couldn't get out. Not to worried though cause I'm sure when I get to working on my cars and repurosing projects in there it will get more marks on it. Thanks for the compliments on your truck I was lucky to be able to buy it off a guy I know when he had a weak moment

Will the sealer keep oil from staining the floor? Can it be wiped up like on an epoxy coated floor?

 

[LegacyIndustrial]

It will hold up well to most garage chemicals.
Oil can be wiped up.
