as you who have seen the shop area before, it is now much expanded, we are waiting for another lift to be installed and then will refinish the floor, we are between epoxy and concrete polishing. Please does anyone have an opinion on either method?Attached Image

Epoxy looks great, cleans up nicely, and is easy to move things around on. But it can be scratched or gouged, and burns easily with weld or grind splatter. And without material added to make it rough, it is slippery as hell when wet.

After several less than satisfied experiences with epoxy, I decided to try a penetrating sealer (PS101) on my latest garage. It was easy to apply, and has performed great: true seal so spills clean up and do not stain, no burns from welding, as hard as the concrete itself (maybe harder), and not slippery. It does not have the sexy look of epoxy but I am past that.
