I would guess that your floor has a smooth finish on it though where a driveway will be a rougher finish. When I worked at the airport during college, one of the newer hangars had a very smooth floor that had (probably) an epoxy finish on it too. We had to mop and buff that thing once a week

I put down Bona wood finish on my floors, It's a catalyzed water-based finish. I wonder if that might work outside to seal up concrete? Not cheap, like $50 a gallon. --R On 9/15/15 12:43 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Martha has done garage floor epoxy and liked it. However,

Quite a few of the retirees, who spend a lot of time keeping their yards looking beautiful around here, have painted their drives with epoxy. The white ones are very eye catching. Sons BIL who formerly lived in Charleston had painted his shop floor with epoxy. He said oil from his lawn tractor

Martha has done garage floor epoxy and liked it. However, painting is a who ‘nuther matter, not to mention it’s not acceptable in our architectural covenants. Also understand that this is a portion of my driveway, not all of it. I had another “lane”, so to speak, added. So I have 2/3 old

Absolutely not. I took a look at Lowe’s this morning and came out totally unimpressed. The selection was marginal at best, and even my go-to product, Thompson’s “WaterSeal”, has been compromised into a low VOC concoction that people pretty much universally pan in reviews. I’m just going to

The concrete floor of my hangar is painted with something (I don't know what, but B-12 Chemtool dissolves it), but it is SLIPPERY when WET ! Yes, oil, etc. wipes right up without leaving a stain. I bought special New Balance anti-slip shoes for working our there. They help a lot. On Tue, Sep

Thanks, Manfred, I’ll check that out. I’m only looking for something that will seal it to keep oil and grease from staining it. Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about freezing down here…. Dan > On Sep 15, 2015, at 9:15 AM, MG via Mercedes wrote: > > Dan, > I'm

Dan, I'm involved right now with painting the outside of my concrete dome. Richards paints has a concrete sealer that they recommend to be used before painting concrete. It is number 1791C, C for clear. I have no idea if it is slippery in the rain as I haven't walked on the dome in the rain

The extension of the driveway has passed the 28 day mark, so it’s considered cured. I was thinking about sealing it with something, basically to keep nasty stuff out like grease and oil. No risk of freezing down here, so that’s not an issue. Research I have done indicates that Thompson’s has
