Hello,I used Klean Strip Green Adhesive Remover to remove floor adhesive from 8�x10� cement floor. I did my best to clean it up afterwards. Then I used DRYLOK Floor & Wall Masonry Waterproofer to seal the cement. After letting the small room air out for a few weeks using a large fan and fresh air, there is a strong odor that is bothersome and irritating to my eyes and nose. It seems to be the Klean Strip Green Adhesive Remover odor that is still off gassing after 6 weeks.Will AFM SafeCoat Hard Seal be the correct product to seal in this odor?Thanks,Kevin SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Hard Seal Wood Stains & Sealers

That's tricky as Klean Strip may very well make it so Drylok doesn't adhere well. Conduct tape adhesion tests in several places first to make certain the Drylok is even sticking properly. If you feel it has adhered well, then use AFM SafeCoat, Transitional Primer and, once that's properly dry, top with AFM SafeCoat, Concrete Floor Paint. Order small samples of each online first to test.
