I decided to use a penetrating sealer called Euco Diamond Hard by Euclid Chemical
Interesting because one local shop quoted $192 for a 5 gallon bucket. I know they are typically high in price so I shopped around. It was very difficult to find locally but I found it cheaper on the Internet.
Soooo, I decided to call the manufacture in Ohio and ask who retails it around my area.
She gave me 3 locations. One of which was the $192 price...
I called the other two locations which had never heard of this product. The both questioned me asking is I meant ever clear or diamond clear.
No, those products have a different base and when contact is made by diesel, kerosene, oil, WD40, carb cleaner or any other oil based product essentially, it will reactivate it and cause it to be sticky until it cures again. Well I did not want this as it will be in a location with some spills.
So, with them not knowing I contacted a cement buddy and asked where he got his supplies from. He suggested two places. One I'd already called and not the other. So, I requested this diamond hard and kick would have it, they stock it. $90 for a 5 gallon bucket. I was shocked. So when I got there, it was the same bucket and same printout ... So i snagged two and did the floor today. Pictures to follow.
I couldn't believe it was $100 cheaper per 5 gallons. Anyhow, it went on Farley easy. We shall see the end result.
