patio floor. Trying to avoid a high gloss finish. Simiron recommended adding their high wear urethane on top of their polyaspartic HS

Corrected

Do any companies make polyaspartic in matte rather than high gloss? I see something from a company called Versatile, but they aren't clear about what to use as a basecoat.

Any experience with using Torginol Hybrid flake colors? Torginol recommends doing a double broadcast to ensure full coverage due to the hybrid blends containing different sizes of flake. I'm wondering if a single broadcast would work if its for a covered outdoor patio.

I'm looking at coating my covered patio concrete with polyurea. I'm trying to avoid the garage showroom look. My thoughts were to use one of the hybrid flakes from torginol, but also with a matte topcoat. Thoughts on doing this? I figure it might make it look more like stone.

Thanks. Is a densifier the best product type to use to prevent dusting?

I may skip the garage and do polyurea/polyaspartic there. So this is more for the basement where oil staining isn't an issue

I am looking to help prevent dusting on the concrete in a garage and basement floor. The concrete is only about 1 year old. When I pour water on it, the water does not immediately soak in. I was looking at using LITHI-TEK 4500 as it is easily available. Do I need to etch the floor at all...

Can you explain further? I figured covering the baseboards with polyurea/polyaspartic would protect them from water etc and make it easier to clean them as well

I am having our garage floor coated with polyurea base and polyaspartic as the top coat. We have 6" pine baseboards. Would you coat these with the polyurea/polyaspartic? Or leave it painted the same color as the wall as is. No cost to having the baseboards treated.

The concrete is supposed to have 6 mil visqueen under it. Moisture contant was measured at 4%

Thanks. What are your thoughts on using polyurea base for the entire garage instead of epoxy? Not sure I would want just polyurea base on the stairs and epoxy for the rest

I am looking into having the concrete floor in our garage coated with epoxy as the base coat and polyaspartic as the top coat. The company that came out recommended against coating the trim and the wood steps due to concern for cracking with expansion/contraction of the wood. The trim...
