Hi,
I am trying to create a garage floor which both looks good and is water/oil repellant. I did apply a coat of THOMPSONS ONE COAT CONCRETE SEAL, which contains solvent naphtha, 1,2,4 trimethylbenzene. Now someone has scared me that I cannot floor paint over this surface as it may contain sulphur. Is this correct. Please guide and suggest some good floor paints.
Thanking you
With respect it is a bit late to ask this question now. Concrete sealers do just that. They seal the concrete. It is unlikely that you will be able to overcoat this with any floor paint/Epoxy coating etc. Whatever you put on will not adhere to the substrate. It is not the sulphur that is the problem it is the lack of mechanical grip.
Floor paints/coatings on Watco website but check with them first about the concrete seal.
Ring Crown (01254 870189, ask for technical) - the tin of Epimac that I have in my garage doesn't say anything about not going on sealed floors.
Maybe a little off topic, but if anyone needs a cheap, clear sealer for untreated concrete then PVA glue works quite well. A gallon of PVA is less than a tenner from a builders supplier, dilute it in a bucket of water, about 5 to 1 and brush it on with a floor brush. If you arrive on a motorbike with wet tyres, it's a lot less slippy than floor paint too. (voice of experience!) AL
