Sealer

[blh]

I am building a new garage and want to seal the floor ASAP. What's a good brand? Is colored sealer an option? I'd appreciate any and all advice Thanks

I'd consider allowing the crete to cure for 6 months or more before doing anything. That said, there are a lot of color/stain crete sealers out there (of which I have no experience with).

Why do you want to seal asap?

Here's what I did, but talk with your concrete guy before pour day, this needs to be part of the plan as this color gets troweled in, still needs time to cure but I sealed with the first coat 6 days after the pour, second coat was a month later.

We would suggest 28 days before sealing. We do not offer color sealers. We do have the Ghostshield products

I wanted to seal ASAP as I want to use garage and don't want to get floor dirty waiting 28 days. I have been told that there are curing sealers that can be used on newly poured. Any body familar with these?

Yes. Just be mindful that they are not very durable and they will have to be removed first via grinding if you plan on using a sealer or coating at a later date. Here is an example of such a product.

In my research, Ghostshield 8510 seems to be a great sealer to help prevent oil stains. Sounds like it won't change the appearance and requires just a good cleaning for prep.

Ghostshield 8510 along with densifying first could solve you problem. We carry these products.

Interesting. I just had a broom finish driveway installed, contractor said he used Diamond Clear to seal, and recommends a recoat in the spring. Would this Ghostshield be a better solution in the spring and be compatible? I have a couple of 2004-2005 vehicles that have minor oil leaks that I don't think I can get fixed before starting to park on the driveway in a couple of weeks.

Personally I avoid mixing sealers
