I have almost 2 gallons off this stuff left over from the cash for clunkers days.
Will it be useful to treat a sweaty floor in my house garage? Not looking for a cure. If it slows it down (vapor transmission) I'll be happy.

Concrete: (use in basements to slow or prevent Radon leakage)
Concrete treated with a sodium silicate solution helps to significantly reduce porosity in most masonry products such as concrete, stucco, plasters. A chemical reaction occurs with the excess Ca(OH)2 (portlandite) present in the concrete that permanently binds the silicates with the surface making them far more wearable and water repellent. It is generally advised to apply this treatment only after the initial cure has taken place (7 days or so depending on conditions). These coatings are known as silicate mineral paint.
