Flooring, densifiers, stain, welding

[bmacdonald]

I have searched and don't find the combination.

Am looking for suggestions for the combination of products that will do the best (notice I didn't say perfect) at holding up to stains/liquids and also the best damage control from light to medium hobby welding splatter. I know that is somewhat of an oxymoron with the welding spatter, but looking for the opinions here of what might work best. My initial thoughts are a densifier, then a dye, then a sealer for the look and spill resistance, just not sure about the welding spatter. I am not so concerned about the look as much as I am about the oil/liquid resistance, just don't want the "concrete look" thus the dye. The concrete is not new and troweled so smooth and about 10 years old in a home garage. My secondary concern and the one I have an issue with is the welding spatter.

Thoughts from the collective?

Thanks!

Tons of folks on here doing LS4500 densifier followed by a flood coat of 8510 @ 300 Sq. Ft. per gallon https://www.garageflooringllc.com/siloxa-tek-8505-concrete-sealer/

Ghostshield 8510 is an oil resistant concrete sealer that has had phenomenal results. When you get ready to do the 4500, give me a call and I will walk you through it

Any topical coating like a sealer or epoxy can be damaged by welding slag (sparks and such are usually not a problem). For that reason we would recommend the Ghostshield densifier/penetrating sealer that we offer. You can stain the floor first if desired.
