Stamped concrete clear epoxy???

[RGVBadBoy]

I'm looking for a clear self leveling epoxy topping to be applied to my existing stamped concrete inside my home. I have sealed the floors but they don't have the desired gloss finish I am after, the floors are textured, with deep grooves/channels, in the shape of "fan stone". I'm not looking to completely smoothen the texture into a "glass" like finish, just allow the epoxy to fill in the deepest grooves and smoothen them enough to make the floor glossy and easier to clean with a mop.

I have seen such a product, the name escapes me, but it is a 2 part product available in 3gallons, however the name escapes me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have been using the search button but to no avail.

Thanks

Ive never seen stamped concrete inside a home... Any pics?

Also, if there is any remaining sealer, the epoxy wont stick.

Photos would definitely help here. Epoxies are generally self leveling, so filling the deeper groves while leaving some relief isn't an issue. You could even fill just the grooves to whatever depth you desired, then go over the entire floor with a thinner coat of epoxy to give it a universal feel and look.

Clear or colored look, your choice, we have a few ways for you to approach this.

It is a 2 part epoxy solution that comes in 3 gallon kits, and does make maintenance and clean up real easy.

We have a very nice two-part urethane that many people use for stamped and/or stained concrete.

So it wont stick??? Dammit, I don't think it can be cleaned up without completely stipping the floors.... As for pics, let me figur out how to post some and I'll do it first thing..

Thanks fort he replies guys, I've been checking everyday

IMHO....

Its just like if your putting epoxy down on a garage floor. If the concrete was sealed, it has to be removed. Usually by shot blasting or diamond grinding.

There may be other ways to remove it though. Im pretty sure one of the Pro's here has an alternative.

What is it sealed with now? If it is acrylic...then we recommend Perdure E32 and Perdure U46...please check out - www.duraamen.com

Its a water based concrete sealer I bought at lowes, it makes the floor shiney, but its kinda like a milky looking liquid. I can't remember what its called, but it should look so much better...

I just read about the Perdure U46, it looks promising, but I didnt find anything that says its self leveling...

Hey Victor, Great to see you here! Man you get around.

Stamped concrete can also be blended with other decorative concrete elements such as exposed aggregate finishes and acid-etch staining, along with a particular pattern, such as running bond brick, hexagonal tile, worn rock or stone.

All clears are not equal. Look for UV resistance, especially if in the house, you don't want a yellow floor.

Also..
It sounds like the first coating you applied is an acrylic sealer.
I would lightly sand it off before applying anything on top of it.
