Good morning, all! I'm looking into coating my garage floor in some
fashion. The garage is about 15 years old, and I'm tired of stirring up
dust every time I touch the floor with a broom.
The floor has some minor cracks, a couple of gouges (thanks, framing
crew!), and a bit of oil staining, but it's generally in good shape, except
for the dust.
My original plan was to pay (lots of, probably) good money to have a
professional service grind the surface and apply a proper epoxy product to
the floor. But yesterday, a friend mentioned solvent-based sealers
(specifically xylene). He said I could apply it myself with proper PPE and
occupy the space the next day.
So, what's the current real-world opinion on garage floors? Anyone who can
relate what worked for them in the savage environment we revel in as shop
talkers?
TIA, Jeff...
