Hello everyone,
I have completed my sink trap in my studio and I will
post some pictures soon.
My next step is to tackle to studio floor. The room is
actually the family room in the lower level and has a
concrete floor. I have gone through several floor
painting emails in the archives and found some very
valuable information. I didn't want to start this
topic all over again but I didn't see a mention of
this product Epoxy-Seal concrete and garage floor
paint by Seal Krete. It is an acrylic and epoxy blend.
In the archives several have mentioned about 2-part
epoxy which costs around $40 a gallon. There was also
a mention of painting with acrylic paint once a year
which costs $9/ gallon.
This is a one part epoxy which is an acrylic-Epoxy
blend for interior and exterior, satin finish and
ready to use. More over it comes in a variety of
colors. And the price is range is in between the
previous two $24 a gallon.
So I wanted to ask if anyone has used this product or
a similar product. would it work for a studio space. I
really don't want to paint every year. I would rather
spend some extra money and be done with it for once.
Thanks all
Charan

I used the Sherwin Williams equivalent over 6 years ago on my new cement
studio floor and the floor looks like it is brand new. You can add whatever
color you want, the way you would if you selected Sherwin Williams paint. I
believe I have 2 coats on my floor.
I didn't do the work, but the price may have been double the Epoxy Seal you
are talking about because you have to buy a gallon of each part of the mix.
You'll want to wear a good mask when you apply the stuff because the fumes
are pretty bad, I was told.
I did it because I'd heard about an aircraft factory that put it on their
floor (with heavy machinery, dropped parts and tools) and their floor looked
new after a few years.
At this point I don't remember the name of the product but I found it online
a few years ago at the Sherwin Williams web site.

When we poured the floor for my studio, the concrete 'froze' up on us and we
were unable to get a really nice smooth surface. After doing some grinding,
I looked around for a sealant that would be thick enough to smooth out some
of the dips and bumps so that wheels would roll better over the floor. I
ended up using a Durall product. I really like it. It is easy to clean
(although I have a lot of black scuff marks on it now and have no idea where
they came from!) and I will never have to re-seal it. I think they have
similar products at the Depot. If your floor is nice and smooth, you won't
need the thick stuff.
Here is the website for Durall if you want to check it out.

Another thing to keep in mind is that it is strongly recommended (required?)
that you acid etch the concrete prior to application of an epoxy paint.

Whatever you use - be prepared for noxious FUMES!!! Will need some air supply and upstairs will also get these fumes. Epoxy paints especially. Follow directions and stay away till cured. Worth investigating this part of the paint selection. Conswider cheap drop down linolium-type tile??? Sam in Daly City

Some good responses. However is this one-part acrylic
epoxy as good as the two part epoxy which you have to
mix before applying??
Also seems like to get the best results I will have to
acid etch the surface which I was hoping not to do.
Anyone tried it without etching?
Thanks
