About 3 weeks ago I coated my new garage floor with 3 coats of Rust Bullet after grinding the 8 month old hand trowled concrete. Went on smooth and easy. Prior to this I never seemed to have any issue with moisture on the floor.Since putting the Rust Bullet down I am experiencing a lot of moisture on the floor. I mean a lot! Now it is humid here but I don't have any moisture on the floor of my attached garage which is coated with a Rustoleum system. What is going on here?

Could Rust Bullet be causing my moisture issue?

Warm moist air condensating on the cool concrete surface?

If the floor is 8 months old, you may have never experienced it with humidity. It would help if you had a location listed in your user profile. At least post info in the thread.

Well now that your rust bullet floor is sealed any moisture that normally goes right into the concrete just accumulates on it.
Sounds like you need an ac unit to dry things up

The Rust Bullet is not causing the issue and running a fan will help a lot. What Rust Bullet does do is keeps what falls on it from soaking in. So if you have a relatively porous surface in one garage and a coated surface in another... The garage with the coated surface, everything will sit on top. The garage that is bare concrete, everything soaks in.
High humidity and temperature variation are the cause of the condensation.
