What epoxy sealer or top coat after Dy-Mark 8L Slate Epoxy Coat Garage Floor Kit?

Hi,

 

I finished Epoxy Coat for my garage last night and now i am thinking of doing the top coat/ sealant before moving things. 

 

Please refer to an epoxy sealant similar to "Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss EpoxyShield Premium Concrete And Garage Coating" which is cost-effective. I do not want to spend $200 and my garage is about 34sqmeters.

Hi @harrisonp,

 

I've received a response from Dymark. While they haven't tested the Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss EpoxyShield Premium Concrete And Garage Coating over their product, they have received customer feedback indicating that it can be applied.

 

The Rust-Oleum clear coat should be applied over the Dy-Mark Epoxy Coat after 48 hours. If you wait longer, a barrier may form on the surface of the Dy-Mark Epoxy, and you'll need to prepare the surface for the clear coat to adhere properly.

 

If preparation is necessary, lightly sand the entire surface with 120-grit sandpaper, then vacuum up any dust and debris. Wipe down the surface with a clean cloth and a small amount of Isopropyl alcohol.

 

Once the surface is ready, apply the Clear Coat and allow it to dry for 7 days to ensure full curing.

 

Let me know if you need further assistance.

 

Best regards,
Eric
