How do I remove sealer from my new shop floor? I have tried regular paint stripper , bought real exspensive stripper for this type of sealer. What I have is a sticky mess. Conc is only about 90 days old.

You may have to grind it off with a diamond grinder. It's not fun work but it's not complicated either. Just make sure you wear a respirator and have good venilation. Depending on your square footage it may be more cost effective to hire it out than to rent the equipment.

Acid won't touch it. Have about 1100 sf to do. Spent the day using gel stripper, straight hoe, & 4" razor blade scraper. Got about 25% almost done. Looks like this is going to be the toughest part of the build.

I had to have mine ground off with a diamond grinder, then epoxy coated. Sealers are stupid unless you aren't using your garage as a garage..

Search is site for "shot blasting." Several threads have references to renting/hiring shot blasters to remove old paint from garage floors.
