Garage Floor Sealer

[tmleadr03]

Looking around for some concrete sealer. Any recommendations? Never done this before, most shops I have worked in have either had crapy stained floors or already had the epoxy on it.

Seal Krete any good?

Might end up with slightly different ends. I am looking to do at least 2500 sq ft of it...

You will need to strip it (what ever the tech name is) first. Have lots of N95's on hand .

I saw some deals on sealing concrete on groupon and livingsocial. STILL VERY EXPENSIVE.

I have read a lot of good things about U Coat It. Prep is key.

Amazon shows Rust-Oleum kit for 99 bucks. Covers a whopping 3-400 sq ft. So with 3000 sq ft it would cost me 750-990 bucks to cover the floor.

Hadn't thought about stripping it though... blech.

My last place I used Epoxy Coat. It was expensive and didn't hold up as I thought it should. I would recommend the cheaper rustoleum type products. My last place looked great for about 6months.

Prep was key. It took me about a day to totally strip the new concrete. And, only mix as much as they say, if it sits in the bucket too long it will turn chunky and you have to order more. The second batch didn't match. My experience anyways.

Have you used the rustoleum stuff? Or just because if it isn't going to work for long why spend the big bucks?
