[Shop-talk] Garage Floor Treatment

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...
