You can try Pull It Out. I have had fairly good success with newer stains. If you use the lacquer thinner [or acetone]/cat litter approach, cover the soaked area with plastic sheeting to impede the evaporation of the solvent.

If you are only talking about raising the outlets 1/8", those spacers should suffice.

Sealers vs. epoxy coatings are debated here, and each has its advantages. Regardless of which you choose, I would protect the floor from welding and grinding spatter. I recommend that you do not have the builder provide any "sealer" on or in your new concrete. If you choose to seal it, do it...

Having recently relocated my entire shop 2000 miles, my suggestion is that, for the things you really care about, and/or the more delicate stuff, move them yourself.

My suggestion is to spend a bit more on cable and run all your receptacle circuits with 12 AWG [20a]. For your lighting branch circuits you can use 14 AWG [15 amp]. However, depending upon how many lighting outlets you have on a given branch circuit and depending upon the wattage of the...

NM-B cable is not intended for that type use. HD should also have SJO or SJOO stranded power cord by the foot. If not any electrical supply place will have it. I recommend a local disconnect on or near the lift controls. In the event of a stuck switch [happened to me] you will be thankful...

When the product in question inevitably wears from heavy foot traffic, specially near an entrance, what is the recoat procedure and how successful is it? Thanks.

I use plywood pads attached to my jack stands, but putting plywood under a floor jack can be a PITA. Thanks for the tip.

Sounds like you have a working garage, not a parking area. If you have used a floor jack on the RaceDeck, how does it hold up to the jack wheels?

In my previous shop, I etched and two-part epoxied the floor. The sticky tires on my race car would lift the paint where the car was parked for any length of time. This was more than 30 years ago, so the two-part floor coatings have probably improved since then. In my new shop I am not...

How does the Race Deck hold up to the contact stress of floor-jack wheels and jack stands? Jack stands can be mounted on plywood plates to reduce the contact stress, but with a floor jack there is not much you can do.

I am still considering options for the main working bay in my new shop. Possible additional concerns with tile would be cracking a tile with a dropped heavy object and oil staining of the grout.

How long is the 8 AWG circuit and what is it for?

I decided to try GS 4500 densifier followed by GS 8510 sealer on a test section of the untreated floor. I will advise how it worked out. Thanks to all who took the time to respond.

Nice job! How slippery when wet?

Quickcrete 5000 psi sets up pretty quickly. You may have a problem with it setting up while you mix the next batch, depending upon the size mixer you use. In a similar situation to yours, after considering the bags/mixer alternative, I opted for having the 5000-psi concrete delivered in a...

Thanks. How long is it down, what type of service, and how is the wear resistance?

Thanks barnee. Please let us know re the oil-stain resistance, particularly if you can the resistance to dirty motor oil.

>Anything breathable will allow oil to penetrate eventually. By this do you mean if the oil is left on the floor long enough? Or does the oil-stain resistance decrease over time? Thanks.

Newby here so please bear with me. I tried a sealer product that is touted as being suitable for auto-shop floors, and it turns out that this product is NOT oil-stain resistant. I don't understand how a product that is not oil-stain resistant can be recommended for an auto shop. The untreated...
