Message: [QUOTE="ochster, post: 240294, member: 17624"] I fretted big time about brands and types of floor sealers/paint. I alway's wanted a painted gray floor. I had worked around them at several shops I worked at, and was aware of the problems that could arise. A industrial coating rep convinced me this product by SW, particularly in clear, was the best for what I wanted. He also told me the critical step for adhesion is the first coat, as well surface prep obviously. He told me to use a thin first coat diluted 20% with thinner, thus getting the material into the pores instead of on them. Wait till you could walk on it, and apply a 6mill topcoat. He stated the color pigments do not allow the penetration for adhesion. I'll find out, and post an update. Whyz, I used 5/8" pex on 12" centers, split into two zones. Each zone was started from the center of the floor to maximize heat retention as it worked to the outside of the slab. [/QUOTE]
