sealing my 50x60 concrete floor questions

[340fyd]

What's the best sealant to use and how much do you think that it would take for 3000 sq ft? Thanks for your time.

Hi Lee. That's actually a fairly vague question to ask. Could you be more specific about what you are looking for in a sealant and what you want it to do for you, what is your budget and etc? It's kind of like going into a shoe store and asking what their best shoe is.

If your not sure what you want, I suggest doing a little research here on the forum. There are some great threads on all the different types of sealers to help narrow down what you may be looking for.

Ya, I guess I don't really know. I've just had the shop built..........I'm a gear head so I'll be working on cars & trucks.

So what ever would be the best deal for that. Never built a shop before & haven't had to put sealant down for anybody else.

It was suggested that I do something with it?

Thanks.

Two coats of wb epoxy primer, one coat of hp urethane.
Just ask rtcat. I will post a link later.

Talk to the OP he did this all on his own, never having done this type of floor before.

Thanks for the replies. The thread was helpful for sure.

one coat of hp urethane.

Is there a chance that you got pictures of what you have done? Again thanks for the feed back.

you could use an internal concrete sealer which leaves nothing on the surface (so nothing to go wrong), and is cheap and easy to apply.

what makes you think you need a sealer? What is your objective?

you can PM me for options (there are many of them)

what makes you think you need a sealer? It was advised to do so.

What is your objective? Have a nice shop that I might end up working out of.

I answered your questions a little. I haven't put anything in the shop yet....cause I'm waiting to see what I need or should do here. I appreciate all of your guys time for responding. Thanks.
