    School me on sealing a garage floor...do's....dont's.....???

    Shane, See this thread: best sealant. not epoxy, in particular the discussions around Euco Diamond Hard. (see comments by ScottAlbi & Walter) Euco DH is a penetrating concrete densifier (in the sealer class). It will prevent floor dust and resist stains. It is liquid repellent (not water/oil...

    best sealant. not epoxy

    Walter is quite right - I kept brooming, more or less for about an hour. The instructions (for both Euco Diamond Hard and Ashford Formula) recommend brooming or power scrubbing for about 30 minutes to break the surface tension, until the material gels. The instructions for Ashford Formula were...

    best sealant. not epoxy

    Hey, guys, I did my floor on Sunday. Never really seemed to gel, but did get more slippery. I used a floor buffer w/white polishing pad to help work the Euco in. Didn't seem to make a difference, and tore the pad to shreds within a few minutes. I continued just with the nylon bristles out of...

    Tom, Did you use a chemically resistant sprayer? 2 gal size sprayer better than 1 gal size? Scott

    best sealant. not epoxy

    Benjamming, Euco tech support keeps saying there won't be much difference in the look after applying EDH. Unless you polish it. I would think it would be beneficial to put it down on your concrete driveway/sidewalk.

    Tom, Thanks much. I plan to apply my Euco tomorrow. The Diamond Hard liquid is quite caustic - alkaline pH13-14. Did you use a chemically resistant sprayer? Home Depot has a bunch of crappy sprayers, might not be safe with the Euco. I can't wait to get this done! Thanks for all your good...

    Time to stop thinking and execute, another epoxy floor

    Nope, I don't think so. Not good etiquette. Not buying it. Flush it. :Toilet:

    best sealant. not epoxy

    Tom, is it worth buying a small sprayer to apply it as you did, or do you think I can spill a pail of Euco on the floor and brush it around for 30 minutes, then squeegee or rinse off? That project of yours seems like something for the Army Corps or TVA! After recovering from the shock of the...

    best sealant. not epoxy

    Well, I've decided to apply Euco Diamond Hard after all. I've been every which way, and come back full circle. <Whew!> MrWhy19: Don't give up on Euco because of what I said earlier about maintenance. I called Euco tech support, again, and talked to Amy, again. Upon second examination, she said...

    Congratulations, Walrus! Guys, I had my heart set on applying applying Euco Diamond Hard on my 50-yr old untreated floor. But two phone calls yesterday have me rethinking this. While calling around for prices on Diamond Hard, a local cement guy recommended by Euclid discourage using EDH...
