<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>
