Clear Epoxy for basement floor

[chrisofot]

My new basement concrete floor was poured about 2 months ago. The basement is a 1 bedroom apartment about 650 sq ft.

I still need to clean the drywall mud, paint, etc, but there are no oil stains or anything like that. I will use an acid to prep and may rent a machine from HomeDepot.

I want to use a 100% solids epoxy clear - no flakes - no color added. I want a very high gloss finish, so debating on if I should use anti-slip additive.

* Should I use a primer?
* What brand of Epoxy do you recommend that are low yellow?
* Should I apply two coats of Epoxy or add a top clear coat?
* Is it better to get a kit?

Thanks!

1. Keep in mind with your prep work that everything shows through because your doing clear.

2. A urethane (using phrase loosely to include all polys) , approved for direct to concrete application is likely a better option. Legacy or Armorpoxy perhaps)

3 If you do go epoxy put urethane on top.

You would probably be better off with two coats of our SPGX. It's clear and easy to work with.
