Default Re: New concrete shop floor coating recommendations

Did two garages.
Used epoxy base.
First Garage was a new floor and did not need to sand it.
But thoroughly used the Acid and Water.
Made a mistake and started painting before the floor was perfectly dry.
Over time the one side that was apparently damp is pealing.
Eventully will need redone from scratch but fine after 10 years.
Other side that dried properly holding up just fine.

Second garage needed a thorough sanding because of grease.
Then the acid and water rince.
Waited a whole day for the floor to dry this time.
It came out looking much better having a smoother look.

Consider the sanding as it cleans up the imperfections.
