I used safe coat to paint my concrete floors. I applied two coats over a month ago yet I find the surface still feels slightly tacky in spots and that it's attracting footprints and picking up dirt from the bottom of my feet. Do you have any suggestions for sealants or ways to treat this?

We reviewed your question with AFM's technical department. The cause of your issue might be one of three things.(1) The paint was applied too thickly.(2) There could be moisture wicking up from beneath the concrete.(3) The concrete slab could be too cold, slowing down the drying process.In any of the above cases, you need to warm up the space and increase airflow to get the paint to finish drying. Once it is COMPLETELY dry, then you could introduce a topical sealer over the surface that would make the floor slick, but also easier to clean/better abrasion resistance, such as AFM SafeCoat Polyureseal BP.
