Question 2

I have an exterior wood sign I want to paint. If I use the AFM Concrete Paint would that stand up better to the elements than the normal Exterior Satin paint? I live in Arizona, so abrasive sand winds are a thing I deal with, and the sun/heat. What would help me get the most life out of a painted sign? View answer

Our basement is approximately 900 square feet of concrete flooring. 200 square feet is old linoleum, 12x12 square tiles, flat color with no finish or wax. The tiles were applied with black adhesive probably in the 1950's. Can your product be applied to the linoleum and adhesive and cover the linoleum without having to remove these tiles? Will the the concrete and linoleum areas wear evenly? It is a low traffic basement. View answer

Question 17

So, according to your installation guidelines, your surface prep instructs "If water drops fail to penetrate quickly, surface may need additional attention to create proper surface profile." Unfortunately for us, our garage floor was sealed, 20+ years ago, and still holds up quite well repelling liquids. This space will specifically be used for living area. I've done a LOT of research, and it seems the acid etch will not be sufficient to create a proper surface profile. Can you verify that my only option would be to use a concrete grinder to adequately prepare the floor surface for application of this product? Thanks! View answer
