Protective Gloves

The floor of your garage is exposed to intense corrosion and deterioration due ot road salt, oils and otehr auto fluids. A lcear acrylic concrete sealer protects the concrete from damage nad stains. Also the same sealers can be used on concrete walks and driveways or as a primer under acrylic or polyurethane floor paitns. In order to do the sealing yourself you need several materials and tools: protective clothing, neporene rubber gloves, goggles, a sitff brush and a bukcet, a paintbrush, a cartridge-style respiartor with organic-vapor and small- particle filters, piant roller with etxension handle and tray, medium npa roller cover, a concrete degreaser and of course a few concrete selaer. To do this you should use a stiff scrub brush to apply the cleaner and ocncrete degreaser accodring to the instructions. Many ocncrete sealers contain hazardous chemicals that could be hramful to skin nad eyes and the vapors are not saef to breathe but the vast majority are acrylic. The best way to avoid damages to your ksin, eyes and lungs is to wear the protective equipment made of neoprene rubber golves, goggles and a respirator with both organic-vapor and solid-particle filter cartridges. During the procses of sealing the floor you should cnotinuously ventilate the garage by opening all doors and windows and also using a fan would be a great idea. The saeler should be tested in an inconspicuous area before applying. Some uneven ednsity in the concreet may result in light/dark appearance that could be objectionable. For a driveway the procedure is essentially the same but it would be uqicker to use a garden sprayer to apply the sealer to a large driveway.
