Hello all, I'm looking to get my new house setup with a decent garage for optimal LBC work. Currently the floor is bare concrete. I was wondering what products people recommend to treat and/or resurf
In the maintenance garage at work that was built about two years ago, they went with a beautiful epoxy flooring that was supposed to be very wonderful. Unfortunately, its achilles heel is diesel oil.
I think you need to let fresh concrete cure for quite a while before painting it. I didn't get around to painting mine for about ten years. It had plenty of tooth to it, so I didn't etch it or anyth
I painted my floor with polyurethane-based paint 12 yrs. ago and it has held up admirably. My house was used and the floor was bare concrete that contained a substantial amount of oil where the previ

I've been just toying with that question my self, I looked into a lot of different things, even thought about a black and white tile, way too $$, last week I redid part of the basement with a 2 part
Thats temping...around here tile is pretty cheap. I can get black and white for about $.80 a foot, sometimes less. I'd be more worried about the grout, but I guess if you made thin grout lines and us

I've seen this stuff featured on a couple of the Restoration TV shows. I plan to try it in my new garage. http://www.ucoatit.com/ Chris '60 Bugeye ____________________________________________________
