New Garage Floors for $100 dollars Eagle Gloss Sealer

[@SuperiorCoatingsUS]

2 coats are for maximum durability and longevity. Also the 2nd closes up any pin hole pours that may have been missed by the 1st coat. Hope this helps

[@JohnEngel]

Yes. I should have done two coats for sure.

Nice job. If you let the acrylic dry on the roller handle and once it get hard you can use a utility knife to start to pull a strip of the dried acrylic off. Once you have a strip you can pull, just peal off the acrylic. Can do the same with buckets. Come out nice and clean. No mess.

[@BackdoorAdventurez]

Looks good. It's a 25% solids product so it's not stain proof but is better than nothing. Little/No prep is needed on this sealer. UV light is what breaks it down so interior work may see a reseal every 10-15 years vs exterior being 2-4 years.

Just wanted to tell you thanks for answering my questions awhile back. We are gonna do our floors this weekend. I called eagle with a few other questions and I told them I had heard about them from a KZbin video. Their response was, “are you talking about that guy with the cars?” He was super nice and said they were probably going to reach out to you because you have a lot of followers. My guess is they have received a lot of business from your videos. Anyway thanks again.

Quick tip for keeping the roller head clean. Put tape around the top portion on the roller head and peal it off when finished. This will save the roller head and allow you to use it for any future projects !

Thank you for this entertaining and accurate video/tutorial. My shop floor (1200sq ft) turned out AMAZING. I'm turning it into an events venue and the gloss on the seal made all the lights pop and reflect from the floor creating additional illumination. Eagle Gloss is a good and cost effective product. I wish I could share my b4&after pictures here. Anyway job completed with "accurately measured" dish soap in the mop bucket and donned sox! Good call.

I was looking for a way to seal the cement in my basement and was looking primarily at those DIY garage epoxy systems. But this may be a far cheaper way to do the same thing.

[@yuripantic457]

John, awesome product I did the interior of my beach house. NOTE: On new fresh poured concrete you need to allow the concrete to cure 72 hours minimum, and for best results mist slab every 3 hours for one day.

[@JohnEngel]

Yuri Pantic hello and thank you so much for this. I totally forgot to mention the part about waiting until the slab is completely cured. I didn’t know about the misting but great advice.

[@yuripantic457]

@@JohnEngel Yes, the mist is so you can save that second coat. concrete sponges lots of humidity is subject to weather if your garage was poured and not sealed and sat for more then a week this actually helped to close the pores of the concrete allowing to use less of the sealer. On my job sites, when we pour slabs, we hose them down ones a day after the slab has cured, nice work!

[@devsnik7003]

Nice, I'm going to seal my husband's shop for Christmas thanks!

[@markforeman3807]

I do this for a job. Firstly; the concrete should be left for 4 weeks, for the salts to come out before washing and sealing. 2. l leave it to dry for 2 days (especially in a garage or shed) to dry; as moisture can turn the sealer white. 3. it is a penetrating sealer, so if the surface isn’t porous enough, the sealer will delaminate. 4. The concrete will not be sealed properly with only one coat. 5. The life span of clear sealers is very short. Use a coloured sealer for longer life. 6. It looked shiny with one coat, because it was still wet. I think there is a lot of bad advice given!! Good luck. Redlands concrete cleaning and sealing. Australia

[@JohnEngel]

Great information. Thank you so much.

[@ELEVOPR]

Awesome, 2 coats of for long lasting shine and protection, not looks. It will look the same, but if bother garages had the same amount of traffic, the one with one coat would wear out faster. Thanks again for sharing.

Two coats is for durability and it’s meant to run a buffer over it to create a glass like smooth surface. The buffer will burn through some of it so that’s why two coats

Nice. Throw about another 2 or 12 buckets on, and you're golden. Better to do whatever .. with your coating of choice, when it's new concrete. With epoxy, once the initial is on and cured, its easier to take it down, for repairs. I have never used your product, but for epoxy .. I put 1/8" or more on my floors. All when new.

If you add enough it will help with that but it’s not made to do this. The first coat will be absorbed by the porous concrete, each subsequent coat that you put on will help to smooth it out.

[@politic17]

Products on construction have become so diverse, however, they've opened up the opportunity for people to choose exactly what they need from those products. Therefore, someone's Garage might need this sealer because of their needs, but someone else will need epoxy for his/her garage because of their needs. That concept is very crucial to so many people and making things harder to understand but more reliable and useful to the specific needs that they're made for. - I believe that we are entering an era where companies will give us their products according to the information they acquire from us about our specific problems or needs..., just like going to the hospital and getting questions for the treatment to be executed or prescriptions.

[@JohnEngel]

I understand exactly what you’re saying. I am not affiliated with the company at all, but was looking for something to cover a large space that would not be in the thousands. A two-part Apoxsee would have been my best bet but the amount that I saved by using the sealant was in my best interest.

Great question. I have not used it on a stained floor but color can be added to the sealant.

[@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503]

The sealer might re generate the stain ...try a sample first to see ...if you spray the first coat shouldn't be a problem... rolling might re liquify the stain and make a mess

[@BardMusic]

I wonder if you could roll this onto cheap vinyl floors in kitchens and bathrooms to waterproof it for cheap.

That’s a great question. I do believe this product is meant to be used on concrete because it is absorbed into the material and I do not think that it would do that with vinyl.

Great question. Let me see if I can try to put it better into words. The sealant does create a barrier but if there is moisture under the concrete you will know because it will appear a different color. That, in my experience, has never come through the sealant. Now if water gets on top of it, then it become very slippery when wet. Hopefully that helps.

At 2:23 it’s not a hard project, it’s time consuming....... yet he is gonna use a house mop with a 5 inch scrubber? It looks great though....... and you did a great job on the video. Does it get slippery when it gets wet?

It does get slick when wet. You can add aggregate to it but I did not.

John Engel Thanks for the reply!

Hi John, nice work! Would you recommend this product for post frame residential home?

[@JohnEngel]

Travis Dickson I would. Just make sure that you are careful for fumes. It takes about 3 days before the strong smell starts to dissipate.

[@dxlveyy]

@@JohnEngel Noted, the post-frame home will be 40x88. I plan to seal all before I start putting up the frame walls.

Looks good , not available to shop to California

[@JohnEngel]

Nothing is allowed in Cali. I hate that.

[@chrisdeforest6021]

That looks great John. Do you think Mica powder would work for tinting this? My wife and I are buying our first home and it has a 25x30 shop and this is the first thing I want to do to the shop before I move all my woodworking tools in. Thanks for the informative video.

[@JohnEngel]

I don’t know about Mica powder but I do know this project can be tinted. Just check with you local paint store for the correct tint.

How does it look now two years later? I ask because I did my (smaller) garage with Rustoleum epoxy bought at Home Depot. It looked really good at first but now a year later, it's starting to get scratched up. I imagine in another year or two it's going to look bad. And the prep for epoxy has to be near perfect. I have told a lot of people in hindsight I would rather have done something like you did. You don't realize how much wear and tear goes on a garage floor when you jack up cars, it cracks the epoxy, when you drag a heavy boxes across it, it leaves scratches. You have to "baby" an epoxy floor. You did a lot less prep work (just washing the concrete) and it looks just as good afterwards as an epoxy floor IMO. Like a lot of your commenters, I would have liked to see a second coat for wear-and-tear purposes, but it looks really good from this video.

Also, did you use the concrete sealer, THEN the clear coat? I was about to purchase this right now, but it says not to apply it directly over concrete

[@JohnEngel]

Thomas Chung it’s just a sealer, no clear coat.

[@thomaschung9310]

@@JohnEngel thanks so much! Can wait to get this done!

[@JohnEngel]

Thomas Chung I used the Gloss Coat.

[@thomaschung9310]

@@JohnEngel last question, did you find that etching was necessary on a brand new floor or did you skip this step?

[@JohnEngel]

Thomas Chung all of my applications have been on new floors so I have never done any etching.
