i have finished treating my basement floor with xypex (this is a crystalline waterproofer like dry-lock). xypex has a rough texture when it dries and ive heard may powder under foot traffic. i'm not shooting for a smooth as glass floor, but i don't want it to feel like a grinder wheel like it does now.
xypex also has a bit of an inconsistent look to it, which i like, so i want to coat it with something clear. i prefer a dull finish, not gloss.
according to the xypex website: Can paint and other finishing materials be applied over a Xypex coating? Yes. Paint epoxy coatings, cement parge coats, plaster and stucco can be applied or installed over a Xypex coating. For detailed instructions, please refer to pp. 31 and 73 of the Xypex "Specification and Application Manual"
can anyone with relevant experience make a suggestion for my further research? the floor is about 300 sq/ft., decent venting, the area gets medium foot traffic, but certain items may cause extra wear (sliding chairs, work benches) and the floor will be largely uncovered.
much thanks.
