Thanks Scotty. I appreciate the help along the way. A question: Would a T Bar applicator with a microfiber or 3/8 nap head work to apply the product? These are used primarily in wood floor refinishing to apply oil or water based finishes. Do roller overlaps or roller marks (not ridges)...

Hi, I am on my way with the SEC sealer. Order arrives this week. I will post some photos of the project as it progresses. We will use a gray stain followed by two light coats of sealer. I ended up NOT using a diamabrush or grinder to prep. I was really worried about losing the natural...

Hi All, Nearing the end of a long new home build and pursuing a clear sealer for both finished basement 1200 sf and garage 1800 sf. (Almost certain SEC Sealer) Both floors are very well burnished and incredibly smooth and flat without any tooling marks. Based on all the other information in...

Thanks! Great feedback. We will move forward without any additional curing or sealing agents.

Hi All, For new concrete being covered with something like SEC sealer or equivalent, what is best practice for new concrete slabs? Typically a cure and seal product is applied after power troweling. Is that OK for a follow up application of something like SEC sealer after the concrete is...

Got it! Thanks for 'teaching a man to fish' Looking at options and then the power of the Dialux software...in another life I could see myself really interested in this.

Platonic, thanks! I started to model it with the basic visual tool. I used EMS L48 8000LM IMACD PGD 80CRI 50K because it had the same specs as the TechBrite mentioned early. The tool suggests 30 lights as shown below. http://www.visual-3d.com/tools/interior/default.aspx?id=217794 Since...

Hi All, Thanks to all for the great information on this thread. After a lot of reading, I have a question regarding lighting layouts for a garage with a pitched interior ceiling. I am building a 30x60' attached garage shown in the attachments. The interior pitch is a 3.5/12. The height of...

HI, I have scanned your posts but can't find mention to what siding you chose and why. It's steel siding, correct?

Hi, Excellent job! I'm in the process of building a very similar style. Can you comment on the siding, roofing, and window choices? What brands and materials did you use? Keep it up! This is a beautiful home.

For the SEC Sealer, I read some folks used a Urethane top coat for even more protection. Is this a practice that's worth the expense and does it make it more difficult for recoat down the road after some years of service/

Can the SPGX be recoated after a few years without stripping?

Excellent, thank you!

Hi Guys, A question for our vendors and GJ's who have experience with clear sealer. I'm a big fan of high gloss clear sealed look for garage floors. I'm building a new house and need to know what products I can use to achieve that gloss look but still have durability for a working garage...

Both great inputs, thanks guys. I hadn't looked at the costco items but see a lot of positive reviews. I like the idea of the lights on the wall of garage idea. My buddy has an auto shop and even with his cars on a lift or on the rotisserie, there is a lot of light.
