Nice job. If you let the acrylic dry on the roller handle and once it get hard you can use a utility knife to start to pull a strip of the dried acrylic off. Once you have a strip you can pull, just peal off the acrylic. Can do the same with buckets. Come out nice and clean. No mess.
@@anahigarza8308 u a hater! It is his channel and video. You do know that youtube has the ability to forward through the video as much as you want right?!
John, awesome product I did the interior of my beach house. NOTE: On new fresh poured concrete you need to allow the concrete to cure 72 hours minimum, and for best results mist slab every 3 hours for one day.
Yuri Pantic hello and thank you so much for this. I totally forgot to mention the part about waiting until the slab is completely cured. I didn’t know about the misting but great advice.
@@JohnEngel Yes, the mist is so you can save that second coat. concrete sponges lots of humidity is subject to weather if your garage was poured and not sealed and sat for more then a week this actually helped to close the pores of the concrete allowing to use less of the sealer. On my job sites, when we pour slabs, we hose them down ones a day after the slab has cured, nice work!
I have a two car garage and was looking for a simple solution, something let me wash the floor sometimes and don't worry about some small spills, so here I found the product, thanks
Concrete takes quite a while to fully cure. I would recommend waiting quite a while before putting any kind of sealer on concrete as the moisture will be trapped, and ruin the finish.
A dream for many people. Your garage is has more square footage (square meters) than the average house in England (and probably a lot of other countries).
Dude, thank you so much for this video. I made the mistake of going with the Behr wet-look sealer in my studio. I put on two coats and the wet-look just wasn't there. Not even close to what the brand themself claimed. I plan on re-doing this project and was shopping around for other brands. I think Eagle Gloss Sealer is a winner for my next project.
Two coats is for durability and it’s meant to run a buffer over it to create a glass like smooth surface. The buffer will burn through some of it so that’s why two coats
I just did a huge painted basement floor at work yesterday.i used a seal krete product 100% acrylic.no solvents.no scent.i would always recommend cleaning with tsp.unless you do multiple cleans.soap will always leave residue.what you dont want to do is.paint the floor and then let a week go by.letting tenants,heating and cooling contractors and real estate people. walk on it before you seal it.very very lame.hours..basically buffing out all the footprints by hand with terry towels.mopping wouldnt cut it alone..sucky.definitely will clear coat any painted floors after 2 or 3 days and no traffic.
Appreciate the video John. I just did my garage with Eagle gloss coat based on your review. Looks great, and I'm happy with the product. Not a big deal but I used a 1/2" nap roller that left some unwanted texture in the surface finish. Did you experience this too? Wondering if a 3/8" roller would finish for a smoother surface. Thanks again!
@@JohnEngel mine spread pretty even and covered well in 2 coats. I think a 3/8 nap roller would leave a smoother finish than what I used. Either way, really glad I used this product!
How does it look now two years later? I ask because I did my (smaller) garage with Rustoleum epoxy bought at Home Depot. It looked really good at first but now a year later, it's starting to get scratched up. I imagine in another year or two it's going to look bad. And the prep for epoxy has to be near perfect. I have told a lot of people in hindsight I would rather have done something like you did. You don't realize how much wear and tear goes on a garage floor when you jack up cars, it cracks the epoxy, when you drag a heavy boxes across it, it leaves scratches. You have to "baby" an epoxy floor. You did a lot less prep work (just washing the concrete) and it looks just as good afterwards as an epoxy floor IMO. Like a lot of your commenters, I would have liked to see a second coat for wear-and-tear purposes, but it looks really good from this video.
That’s a great question. I do believe this product is meant to be used on concrete because it is absorbed into the material and I do not think that it would do that with vinyl.
i dont like coating when you get oil on the floor its a death trap and if a get oil on the floor I use a red robin seasoning shaker filled with portland cement or flyash from my coal stove and the stain go's away. thanks for sharing
Wow, that is a price performer. I am going to do this. One question/concern. Does it make the floor slippery if I tramp rain or snow into the garage? Thanks for taking the time post the video. Nice job!
Thank you so much. Unfortunately, it does make the floor slippery when wet. However you can add an aggregate to it which will help to prevent slipping.
@@JohnEngel This was my concern just due to the fact where I work has polished cement floors and they can be slick when wet and I figured this coating would be the same. But epoxy is slick also unless there is texture. I'm pretty well trained on slick wet concrete so I'm pretty sure this is a no brainer for my garage.
@@JohnEngel, can you paint the concrete floor , adding designs , allow to cure & then finish with this product ? Thinking about doing this to the inside of ranch style home , pet's are the issue , trying for a durable floor inexpensively . Thank you , in advance for any recommendations .
james yamane I park cars that come in from the rain all the time and the cars never have an issue. It does make the floor slick and I have to make sure I don’t slip.
That’s a great question. I’ll have to check the can I still have. I know that they want to make sure it will be absorbed but it has to be bare concrete.
Hi. In the description it says high gloss topping over "solid sealer". please mansplain "solid sealer" for me. I want to achieve this same gloss wet look/gray color. this will be my first DIY application on new smooth concrete floors 1200 feet. Should I do the etch and clean first or pass? thank you for your time and feedback.
Well I’m not sure that I am able to mansplain. Lol. If they are new floors then I would clean them and then use this product directly over the concrete. The more coats the better.
@@JohnEngel still w a i t i n g for a call back frim company. Do you know main difference between the Eagle high gloss that you used and the Eagle Supreme seal?
Are you still happy with it driving on it has it mess it up at would love to know how it looks now. Or have you had to fix any spots. I have a new house moving in this week and really want to do this but worried about long term
Looks great just have one question. You stated in the comments that it doesn't create a barrier to the underground moisture and is slippery when wet I would assume this would not be ideal in an area with high humidity and rapid temp changes?
Great question. Let me see if I can try to put it better into words. The sealant does create a barrier but if there is moisture under the concrete you will know because it will appear a different color. That, in my experience, has never come through the sealant. Now if water gets on top of it, then it become very slippery when wet. Hopefully that helps.
Right on. That is the answer I was looking for before purchasing. Only time I've ever seen moisture is when the temp goes from 50 to 80. This seems like an very economical option and I will give it a try. Thank you for the response as well.
The floor looks awesome! What if the garage floor still has oil stains all over the floor even after you sweep and mop? Will this product still work? Will this product cover up all the dried stains??
@@AwesomeCarrilloClan you can add a tint to this sealant but you will need to apply it to bare concrete. So if you put epoxy down then you would not need this product.
So I'm going to do this for my new Archery shop, but, I have two bathrooms in there with obviously dry wall. Did you spray OUT the shop as you washed it or did you just basically clean it and let dry... I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to be able to do this.
Hi John! How’s it been handling in the rain? I’ve seen comments that some of cheaper dealers cause the surface to become extremely slick when wet. How’s yours holding? I’m going to do mine over the next couple of weeks, hopefully!
Thank you for the comment. It is holding up very well however, it does become extremely slippery when wet. You can add an aggregate to it, which will help prevent slipping, but that is something to keep in mind.
@@JohnEngel appreciate the reply. Any quick update? how's it holding up? Would you have done anything differently? I'll be tackling this in a few months when my house build is done.
@@JohnEngel thanks for the link. Sharing it on Reddit. Great follow-up video. Quick question: Is it slippery when wet? Is that a problem? I read some comments on reddit that sealants can cause concrete floors to be slippery.
@@JohnEngel Great update video. quick question: How high are your walls? and what is the ceiling height? It looks like there are open spaces in the ceiling. I am thinking the ceiling is open, so even if the walls are 9 ft, there would be clearance in the ceiling for the lift. I'm planning to pull the trigger on a 20 x 26 2-car garage/steel A-frame building. I want to install a 2-post car lift that requires a 12ft ceiling. Can I get away with a 9 foot wall or do I have to go with a 10- or 12-foot wall option?
Hey John, again thanks for the great video. So I went ahead and used Eagle Sealer on my 30x45 shop floor that has already been grinded in certain spots and acid etched. I had to use about 10 gallons of eagle sealer and turned out great but it looks like my pourous concrete soaked up most of it. I'm going to do another coat. My question is what NAP do you recommend? I was told 7/8's but I think that might be the issue! Your answer would be a lifesaver!
I wonder if u can paint the floor to desired color and pattern before sealing with that stuff, does it say on the can or instructions if u can do so..???? great vid. thx
Thomas Chung so far I have not had to re-do it after 4 years. I do have some scratches that could be touched up but overall it still protects and shines great.
Deal or no Deal Productions lol those are on the list. One 2 post in the detached garage and 4 post in the main garage. Just time and energy to get them and install them.
Considering sealing my basement in a Philly row house. Since it's an old house, the slab isn't level. Not even that it slopes in one direction, but there are subtle valleys and peaks. Think that would be a problem?
Hey, thank you for your video and your process. I’m just wonder about using that product for my patio. I also used the sealer from Home Depot like Berh but seem not like that. Do you have any experience or hear suggestions anything for patio ? Thank you bro.
@@JohnEngel Thank you John, yeah, maybe slippery, but I will try it to see how long it can last. The one I used right now on my patio is need to reapply after one year, and more expensive than the Eagle Gloss sealer that you used. Have a good day John. 👍👍👍👍

Can a paint be added to this product?
Wow can tell you're a pro. Pros always install scaffolding immediately prior to coating a garage floor.
Lmao. When you have a timeline you do what you can. I can tell you know a pro when you see one. Lmao
2 coats are for maximum durability and longevity. Also the 2nd closes up any pin hole pours that may have been missed by the 1st coat. Hope this helps

Does it prevent moisture from coming threw? Thanks for sharing your video!
Not really. You can still see the moisture coming up. It does seem to keep some of it below but I’m not thinking it was designed for this.
I wonder if a second coat was applied and allowed to cure what burnishing would do or would it FUBAR it.
Looks great and Happy Trails.

What size nap should I use for this product? I got to do my entire barnaminum floors roughly 2400 sq ft so I bought 10 gallons worth
You are going to love the result. Any of the high-density nap rollers will work. Eagle makes some that are specifically for this. :)

@@JohnEngel Thx again
Do or did you have to seal it after? We have a print shop, and once we put down machines , we will have a hard time moving it. Thoughts?

It’s strong for 3 days. Then it goes away completely.
I didn't catch if you grinded down the concrete first. Does a brand new floor need granding before this application?
Because the concrete was new, I didn’t do this. If it’s older a good grind will help it absorb better.

Could you paint your house flooring and use this as a top coat ?
No. This product goes directly on the concrete floor.
Can this product be used to seal a shower??? Concrete floor and walls
As long as the surface is porous, it will work. However, keep in mind that this makes the surface very slippery when wet.

You sure could. I would also recommend doing the second coat.

@@JohnEngel thanks for the quick reply. What would you tint it with?
@@888young2 if you go to any paint store they will be able to tell you the tint options. I think both Lowe’s and HomeDepot can.
@@JohnEngel thank you!
How is this holding up after 3 years? Love to know…
It has held up great. It still looks great and wears well.
A pressure washer would’ve worked wonders for that first part lol
I totally agree. 👍
Nice is it slippery ?
It does get slippery when wet. You can add an aggregate to it, that will help prevent slippage.
John, how is the floor holding up, after some time ???? i want to do the same in my garage :)

Can’t buy this in Arizona. Won’t ship to Arizona.
Any updates after 3 years? Do you regret only applying 1 coat or did that work out ok?
Great question. I still love the product but would recommend doing at least 2 coats. The more coats the better this product holds up.
@@JohnEngel thank you for the reply. I plan to do my shop floor this weekend because of your videos. 👍
@@backdraft999 for the price and ease of install. I know that you are going to love this. Let me know how it goes.
How often do you need to reseal? I hear every 1-3 years?
Thomas Chung so far I have not had to re-do it after 4 years. I do have some scratches that could be touched up but overall it still protects and shines great.
1-3 years if it’s outside of course.
I have a new 24x24 garage, so will 1 gal do the job?
I don't think that one gallon will do. I used a 5 gallon can.
Put a lift in that garage 😬
Deal or no Deal Productions lol those are on the list. One 2 post in the detached garage and 4 post in the main garage. Just time and energy to get them and install them.
This vid got a really good view count thus far. Might have one before you know it 🤷♂️
Deal or no Deal Productions lol. It would be nice but I would need about 10X the views and subscribers. One day. :)
Who’s the guy @ 7:07 minutes ? The entire time I thought you were doing this job alone
That was my dad. The two of us did this. :)
A GREAT VIDEO BUD 👍👍GREAT JOB 👍👍
Thanks 👍
This worked great as a clear coat on my new truck Thanks. How do you get it off when you wanna change it ??
Best comment yet. You can get it off using a wire brush. Now I kinda want to try it on a car. Damn you. Lmao.
Considering sealing my basement in a Philly row house. Since it's an old house, the slab isn't level. Not even that it slopes in one direction, but there are subtle valleys and peaks. Think that would be a problem?
Sounds like the slab is shifting. Good luck, bro.
I don't think it will be an issue for the sealant but if you are going to do anything to level the slab, I would do that before coating.
Can we apply one coat of any color ?
@@sokhiran2552 you can add a tent to the product itself, but it has to be put on a bar concrete floor
Ok, its been about 2 years now. How has it held up on your 30 x0 50? Any chipping, peeling, etc?
th-cam.com/video/8YeAnEoHhQg/w-d-xo.html Here is that video. :)
would an acid wash be better? or will acid conflict with the paint?
You can acid etch as well. If mine wasn’t new I would have used acid.
Great job mate!
Thank you so much.
So do we seal between cleaning and applying eagle gloss coat, or is the gloss coat also a sealer? Thanks!!
I’m thinking the latter. But sweet baby Jesus and I need to be sure before I tackle this beast of a project 😂
You do not need to do anything other than clean and use the eagle gloss coat. Eagle is a sealant.
@@JohnEngel you’re the man
Can I apply this to my white porcelain tile?
That’s a great question. I have not used this on tile before. I would imagine if it is porous it will work.
Hey, thank you for your video and your process. I’m just wonder about using that product for my patio. I also used the sealer from Home Depot like Berh but seem not like that. Do you have any experience or hear suggestions anything for patio ? Thank you bro.
You can use this outdoors for a patio. The issue that you may see is it will make the patio slippery.
@@JohnEngel Thank you John, yeah, maybe slippery, but I will try it to see how long it can last. The one I used right now on my patio is need to reapply after one year, and more expensive than the Eagle Gloss sealer that you used. Have a good day John. 👍👍👍👍
so you did not etch the garage floor before applying?
You are correct. I did not.
Does it get slick when snow melts on it?
Unfortunately, it does get very slick when wet. You can add aggregate to it to help prevent slipping
I don't understand every cleaning channel uses Dawn dish detergent..
Cheap and easy to use.
