In a situation where there is damp concrete that needs to be coated. This concrete will never fully dry out. What are my options? Will a 1K polyurea work here?

while I wouldn't use a polyaspartic as a sealer for a driveway for a variety of reasons, in your opinion why don't polyasapartics "belong outside?"

New tires, especially higher performance, are loaded with plasticizers. When the tires become hot from driving the plasticizers begin to leech out. This can cause a coating to lift off concrete if there is poor adhesion and/or the coating is not resistance to the plasticizers. Low quality...

If you need UV resistant use a polyurethane not an epoxy.

Moisture cure urethanes do react to form polyurea films. Isocyanate + water creates an amine which then reacts with the isocyanate to give the polyurea.

I thought Line-x only sold through their vendors for professional applications.

O VOC does not mean no smell

That's a ludacris statement. If the paint is VOC compliant and meets the local regulations...yeah good luck with that lawsuit.

Each has its own pros and cons. High solids for longer potlife and generally better adhesion as solvent can help "bite" into the substrate. Although over concrete with adequate surface prep, the difference is marginal. 100% solids for thicker films that will ultimately last longer because...

What is a good estimate on pounds per sq. foot for a complete broadcast and heavy broadcast. thanks

Devoe is now a part of International Paint, a giant in the coatings world.

Is this available for DIY?

I was under the impression that the RockSolid product was an polyurea product and NOT a polyaspartic. Someone please clarify.

JP how thick did you apply the polyaspartic topcoat?

Not all polyaspartics are equal in quality, and that could be said about epoxies. Rust from the primer can, no thank you. Your write up is one reason why this technology will most likely never go to mainstream DIY due to application difficulties. If anyone knows where to find a polyaspartic...
