<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Last year I was looking
into this.  I had a professional service (with a TON of great recommendations,
some from people I know well.)  Give me a price.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I was only going
to do half of my garage, so the total surface they would do was 25X 50'.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Any color, add
in, or 'effect' that I wanted.  2 day project.  They would fix
all cracks and low spots and prep day one.  Then finish day 2.  I
forgot how long the cure time was, but it wasn't a big deal (maybe a day
or three.)</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Total price was
$6000.  I didn't think that was too bad.  Note, they will come
back and fix any issues (chips and such) for free for a year or so after.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I'm still considering
it.  Now that you sparked this discussion, I'll see what the wisdom
here has to say.</span>

<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt">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.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt">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.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt">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.  </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt">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?</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:12pt">TIA, Jeff...</span><tt><span style=" font-size:10pt">_______________________________________________<br>
