new slab seal or not

Use a cure and seal. It helps your expensive 'crete cure properly and makes for a nice sweeping. You said thet you troweled it smooth so that will be as slippery when wet. (as the sealer)


Exactly, no reason not to.

It's not to late, but even better if applied immediately after initial set up. I've even used it on old concrete just for it's dust control.

I think that is what I used on my shop (AH Harris Kureseal) Because I have radiant heat in the slab I was told that I should use a waterbased low voc sealer. I am not impressed with it. Don't spill any petroleum products on it! IN A GARAGE?? right. I was porley advised. The other shop I built I used a stinky, get you high, I think petro based sealer by Euclid Chemical and it took more than a mist of P B blaster to melt it. (PB blster makes a sticky mess out of the Kureseal). But I have no reason to believe that it did not do it's job helping with the curing process, but I'm not a concrete pro.

I don't know what would hold up to gasoline and degreasers. I agree not easy to avoid spilling that on a shop floor.

I'm not a concrete pro either, but I think if it does what the name suggests, the surface would be harder, stay tighter, so it should prevent premature surface deterioration/ breakdown and dust. That thin film you SEE will inevitably wear off regardless of harsh chemicals.

I've never used anything else, since I have an AH Harris supply a half mile from my house. So I don't have anything to compare it to.
