    Still dont know which to use

    Ok, I am ready to strip off the Super Diamond Clear that I was sold and is absolutely not a good sealer for a working automotive garage. I have been checking the thread from time to time but I still dont have a clear idea which product to buy. Any recommendations?

    Workshop electrical planning

    "3 recepticles in the ceiling for cord reels, 2 boxes for 2 cieling fans, " I thought of the same thing in my garage, but ended up putting the outlets for the cord reels on the walls at about shoulder height. Why? Drop cords + ceiling fans? Not really that good together. The pull cords are...

    Best Garage Floor?

    Thats the real problem, there seems to be no "level" way to measure these various coatings, thier durability and the effectiveness.

    Flooring: Real World Results?

    Thanks! Thats the kind of results I hope this thread will share. Real experience. I hope to have the time to post a few pics of my floor/stains this weekend. About the hard to clean part. We had an epoxy flooring done at work, commercial auto garage. It was easy to mop and squegee and...

    Flooring: Real World Results?

    PRODUCT:SUPER DIAMOND CLEAR RECOMMENDATION:NOT FOR WORKING AUTOMOTIVE OR MECHANICAL TYPE FLOORS. Probably ok elsewhere with no chemical exposure My floor is a little over 2 years old. I specifically told the concrete supplier that this would be a working garage as in motorcycles, lawn mowers...

    Flooring: Real World Results?

    I have watched and read with interest the near constant flow of questions and information about garage floorings. It certainly seems this is a high priority for all of us to achieve a good looking durable appearance. So I think it would be a valuable tool for us to post in one thread what...

    Best Garage Floor?

    Yes I can see that point. What I'd really like to see is a thread started that lists how old these various floors are and how well they have been holding up and under what type of use. In fact I think I'll start that new post right now!

    Best Garage Floor?

    I was sold an acrylic floor protector and although it is glossy and pretty, carb cleaner and other chemicals instantly cut through it. You cannot wipe the spill up very well either because it gets all sticky. I cant recommend any acrylics for a working garage now. Maybe this product you are...

    Floor sealer to avoid

    Just to wrap this up or wind it down I should state again that I imagine this product would be ok on sidewalks, around pools and etc...in areas like public clubhouses and walkways it is unlikely to come incontact with carb cleaner and etc. so there in it may be just fine. I too have narrowed...

    Floor sealer to avoid

    Again, two valid points. And here is where it gets complicated. Its now been over a year and due to them stalling (its obvious they will not cover anything at all) and my own procrastination here and there plus the fact that I am working in there...I really dont see this concrete plant helping...

    Floor sealer to avoid

    Both are valid points, and I own the mistake. However, I did take pains to specify to the salesman the nature of the shop, its intended use etc...I even talked with him about prep, different stains and clear coats, epoxies, clear resin pours and many other facets. He just kept steering the...

    Floor sealer to avoid

    Hi! I have been lurking for sometime, this is a real cool site! I have built a nice garage and I am equipping it as I go. Its only 24x24 with 10' ceiling. As an ex professional tech I intend this space will see a lot of wrenching. Along with insulation, heat, a/c, lots of lighting and outlets...
