New Garage Floor Review after 6 Months and 3 Years Only $100 dollars Eagle Gloss Sealer

[@cardude3176]

Thanks for the video. I have a 910 sq ft garage I applied it to. I was about a quart short when applying the second coat based on the application instructions. Just letting people know for reference. I then purchased more and did a 3rd coat. Every coat makes it glossier and glossier hiding roller marks. It is perfectly clear so it doesn't hide anything underneath. The third coat made it look fantastic.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much for this.

[@tarzan30809]

How long do you need to wait between each coat?

[@DavidC-lk6pm]

"if you watch my video on how to fix an oil leak, obviously that didn't work" made me laugh! Thanks for your videos! I will be sealing my new shop floor with this product in a few weeks. I'm sold!

[@daveevans9440]

Thank you so much for this review, John! I'm building a 24x36 shop and did not want to spend thousands on epoxy or other coatings. This looks perfect for my needs!

[@123mycrazygirls]

Very good, informative video that gives folks an alternative to the twenty-step polished concrete look! The easier and cheaper route that I was looking for, to make my garage floor look better. I will have to do some more cleaning and etching, though. I believe this product will do the trick for what I want. Thank you for youtubing this. I also live in S.C. and like SVT's. I used to have a 1995 Cobra R and a 2004 Lightning and a 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 Convertible clone. All at the same time. Don't now, though. Oh, well, at least I will have a nice garage floor!

[@greenjondear]

John, Thank you for taking the time to share your helpful advice and keeping us posted with updates. I live in stateline area (Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin) and we of course have our share of snow and road salt. Have you heard from anyone who has used the Eagle Gloss Sealer that has heavy road salt accumulation? thanks again for videos, SM

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much for the comment. Unfortunately, I have not. I would be interested to know, as I would expect it to hold up well against salt and water. However, it does get slippery when wet, so an aggregate would be needed.

[@Swampboy31]

Thanks for doing this. I’ve been wanting to spruce up my garage floor as well but the epoxy just seemed like it was too much work and money for no return. I will be going with this option.

[@JohnEngel]

I think you will be very happy.

[@Elizabeth-zm8yq]

Hi John, can we get a 6 year UPDATE on your concrete floors and how the Eagle sealer is holding up? Is it time to recoat after 6 years. Watched your first video and the update a few years ago and am wondering if the product is still holding up. Thanks so much. Great videos.

[@hvspeed6102]

Great video, thank you for making. I’m researching floor coatings for my new shop and think this is the way to go. Looking for something like the floors at a Home Depot. My previous shop, did an epoxy floor and I wouldn’t do it again. Very expensive, showed every blemish, tires marks stained and would not clean up. And fuels, if left too long, would stain as well.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much.

[@Helmuesi911]

HV Speed Sounds like you had a water based epoxy which is nonsensical.. you have to use a 2 part solvent base epoxy. You can do a clear epoxy or bare concrete, just acid wash it.. if this is an auto shop you *not* want this sealer. Fuel, solvents, brake parts cleaner with burn thru .

[@Helmuesi911]

HV Speed Also, I don’t think HD has any coating on their floors. They do a high polish I believe

[@detailone978]

@@Helmuesi911 A two part epoxy with a CRU Chemical Resistant Urethane would work well against chemical attach. Check the Neogard web site.

[@cinemabunny]

Try heating the diesel stain with a torch until it burns to ash (turns grey). You would probably have to re seal the part that you heated. Start in a small spot and wear safety glasses because water in the concrete can make it pop when heated.

[@JohnEngel]

Great idea. Thank you.

[@cinemabunny]

@@JohnEngel Going further would be to put gas on the diesel to dilute it, light it on fire (to burn what you can) and then torch it. Also, could try sanding off the sealer and putting (slightly) soapy water on the diesel to see if the soapy water can get under it and get it to float to the surface. Let dry, then torch. Techniseal oil remover is the best product but your sealer may block it.

[@walterlangkowski4723]

I would love to use this on my new driveway to stop any stains from peoples cars but it would turn it into a slippery skating rink, I wonder if sand can be mixed in to get grip ?

[@JohnEngel]

Great question. Yes you can add sand or silicate to the sealant and it would help with traction. The other issue would be the use of it outside. I am not sure how well it will hold up to the elements.

[@starpartyguy5605]

I used Ecoetch on my basement floor, followed by 2 coats of Behr bonding primer and finally 2 coats of Behr gray catalyzed epoxy paint. It looks great after 4 years but I seriously doubt it would hold up to hot tires. I am thinking about some sort of garage flooring tiles

[@JohnEngel]

So far I have not had any issues with tires at all. I think that is because this is a sealant. It is absorbed into the concrete.

Bro!!!! you just gave the best, most informative, easy-to-understand video on sealing a concrete floor EVER!! I've watched your original video as well. QUESTION.... I'm considering doing this in my basement. i have a music studio and Photo studio area, along with a small video editing suite. Being that the only heavy duty traffic with be creative people walking on it, and not cars... i should be okay with 1 or 2 coats, right?

1 coat would be perfect but a second will make it more durable and shine longer. Thank you for the awesome comment. It means the world to me. Thank you .

[@TechMultiview100]

I have a really important question if someone were to be so kind to answer me. I am looking to Epoxy coat my garage with the rustoleum kit and I have used it before before getting my garage concrete redone. The product was good but the only pitfall of the product was that there wasn’t really a glossy shine to it and it didn’t seem like there was a layer over the base epoxy paint. I later found out that in order to get this effect you have to buy a separate clear coat over the Epoxy. Looking online I see that for a single gallon of that clearcoat from the same brand rustoleum it’s about $100. It’s likely that I’m going to need two of these cans of clear coat so that means $200. My question is, is it possible to use the rust oleum epoxy kit and then instead of using the clearcoat from rustoleum use this instead as the clearcoat over the epoxy. Thank you

[@JohnEngel]

I don't think so. This product works by being absorbed into the concrete. I would be concerned that it would peel up on you.

[@theBtotheJ23]

I'd love to get this stuff but is it waterproof? If I used it in my garage and then washed my car in the garage would the water just pool or would it soak in like it does to the concrete?

[@JohnEngel]

Yes, I could smell it heavy for a day and then it just got better each day.

[@beeisbad]

Hey John! Quick question....Is it okay to use the Eagle High Gloss indoors like a basement with not much ventilation? Is their a strong smell when you're applying it? Although, I personally don't care that much about the smell when applying the sealer, because i will be doing it. I'm more concerned with afterwards.... will the floors give off a chemical/toxic-like smell? Or possibly toxic fumes that are not detectable? respiratory

[@JohnEngel]

Bee Gee I have done this indoors before and it will leave a strong smell for about 3 days. An open window or door with a fan is helpful. If it’s a room you stay in then you wouldn’t be able to do so until the smell is gone.

Thank you for the video. How long can oil stay on the floor before it discolors the coating? Can oil stay on the floor over winter (e.g. 5 months) without discoloring?

How about scratches from shifting furniture around? I could easily do three coats with 5 gallons.

Thank you so much. It has been a great alternative for me. I don’t have any experience with pet urine but the coating will scratch some with moving furniture. The more coats the better for preventing this.

@@JohnEngel I grew up in a home that was a shrine to acquisition - everything in slip covers, runners over the carpet all that jazz. My home is not that shrine. I cam live with a few scratches here and there - especially if I can slap $100 worth of sealer on it every couple of years. I ripped out the carpets because while my carpet cleaner works really well, doing it every other day was a drag and I was concerned about moisture permeating my pressboard subfloor hence the epoxy. I ran it all the way to the bottom edge of the drywall, so a puddle can't work it's way through the gap that way either. Kitchen is the next project - ratty old vinyl floor covering. Gotta decide whether to do ripped plywood like I did in the bedroom - looks great and dirt cheap - or epoxy, or epoxy and then the clear coat. I think I could get by with just a seal cost of epoxy and then clear coat over that.

Yes it does. I have never had an issue with tires at all. :)

[@johnathanlouis8433]

Is it slippery when wet? Like after a rain?

[@JohnEngel]

It is. They make aggregate that you can add to the sealant when you apply it but I did not do this.

[@manasavavilapalli]

Very helpful video. Thanks for posting.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you so much.

[@witz224]

I have a colored stamped concrete outside patio, how well would this hold up ?

[@JohnEngel]

Witz it will hold up very well. It’s outdoor or indoor.

[@dsm8388]

Can this be directly applied over peeling paint? I am pretty stuck. I don't want to etch my painted concrete, but the peeling is bad.

[@JohnEngel]

I would not apply this over peeling paint. :(

[@OmegaMetalic]

What’s the difference between this and the supreme seal

[@JohnEngel]

I haven’t used supreme seal.

[@DB-wv9oy]

would you recommend using this product over tile?

[@JohnEngel]

I have not done so myself but as long as they absorb the product it should work.

[@DB-wv9oy]

@@JohnEngel yea right? Probably will need to sand the tile first so it can bond. I don't know. I will try it without sanding first and see how it holds.

[@dontwanta]

Will this keep help keep humidity out also by sealing the floor?

[@JohnEngel]

just me kinda but not if it’s coming from the bottom.

[@dontwanta]

@@JohnEngel That's what I wondered, think mine is from the bottom. Thanks

[@frankthetank1256]

I think it’s kinda strange you have so many cars and clearly have the money to do a really good floor covering. Why so cheap? You have Ferraris and Bentleys in your huge house ! Lol

[@JohnEngel]

Lol. That’s a great question. Yes I could have spent 10-20K on flooring but I wouldn’t have the money I do if I just started paying the most for everything.

[@cveenema7653]

Can you use this product on a painted concrete floor?

[@JohnEngel]

You can.

[@1joshword]

Hi so this makes the concrete darken and look wet ? I’m thinking iv old sun weathered bricks that look great only while they are wet ...

[@JohnEngel]

That is correct. It has the look of being always wet. It does make them more slippery when wet, so keep that in mind..

[@cleanasdirt6832]

Does it only come in a 5 gallon bucket? My garage is 22’ x 22’

[@JohnEngel]

It also comes in 1 gallon buckets :)

[@goldenshine9434]

How would this work on an outdoor concrete basketball court?

[@JohnEngel]

It would work fine. The thing you have to keep in mind is that it will make it slippery when wet.

[@mnkycmnkydu]

Can one do this over a wood floor?

[@JohnEngel]

I would think so but I haven’t done this yet.

[@mnkycmnkydu]

@@JohnEngel Thanks! :)

[@Martyimgay]

Can you give an update on the clearcoat for your concrete I want it for my shop as well but I’m wondering if brake cleaner for gas and oil’s will penetrate it and ruin the clearcoat

[@JohnEngel]

Gas will brake down the clear but brake cleaner doesn’t bother it as all. It still looks great and for the money it’s been the best.

[@Martyimgay]

@@JohnEngel what about motor oil and transmission fluid....I know I would be brake cleaning parts on the cars and such. Also you just used a garden spray to spread it

[@JohnEngel]

@@Martyimgay so far motor oil, brake fluid and transmission fluid will just wipe off. If left for too long and you didn’t put enough product down, it will deep through.

[@Martyimgay]

@@JohnEngel ok thanks for the information. How did you apply it

[@JohnEngel]

[@garyfrazier3249]

can you put this on a painted floor,and will it change the color?

[@JohnEngel]

I would not suggest using this on a painted floor, as the product will not be able to penetrate the concrete.

[@CoyoteCrossingSanctuary]

Can I use this inside a house?

[@JohnEngel]

Quin you can but it will take about 2-3 days for the smell to go away. So it’s recommended to do when you will be away.

[@CoyoteCrossingSanctuary]

John Engel perfect it’s a new build, I can do it weeks before we move in. How easy and pretty. It’s a farm so something I can redo myself is very beneficial. Thank you!

[@JohnEngel]

Quin that’s perfect. Let me know how it’s goes.

[@CoyoteCrossingSanctuary]

John Engel I just have to convey my husband it will be pretty enough. Lol We would use huge area rugs.

[@aliciaspears7847]

@ coyote crossing hi did you end up using this inside your home ? I'm thinking about doing this in our new place and am looking for others experiences/ opinions.

[@hussainsvt9853]

dude forget the gloss coats. show us your cars in the basement especially the Cobra R.

[@JohnEngel]

Fox5.0 SVT Lol. Glad you found the other videos. :)

[@peterrabbit2719]

If the floor gets wet is it slippery to walk on?

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you for the question. When wet, the floor is very slippery.
