Epoxy over urethane sealer
|

| syntaxkill@gmail.com 2006-12-27, 9:25 am |
| I botched my living room floor concrete paint job with the sealer
(roller marks, air bubbles, etc. - wondering if it reacted negatively
to the paint?). Is it possible to paint over urethane sealer with
epoxy, or am I going to have to strip the whole damn thing and redo it
(ie: get a professional?).
Thanks,
Matt

Your concrete may have been too new (wet) for coating. But a sealer
formulated for concrete shouldn't have those problems. Give the
customer service people at the paint manufacturer a call. Could be the
wrong product for the job, a bad batch from the factory, application
errors, whatever. They should have recommendations as to best way to
strip and start over if you must. So it may not have been your fault at
all.
Consider a water based epoxy next time for your concrete. The coverage
is poor compared to solvent based but it goes on after a heavy duty
cleaner instead of acid etch and wash. HTH
