I just stained my garage floor a DARK gray, I read the directions front to back many times and it never says anything about sealing over the stain? The floor is 25+ years old, I washed/cleaned the surface with BEHR cleaner, then eched with their rust and echer, then a coat of the dark concrete stain. Should I get some BEHR concrete sealer and put it over the top? THX for the help...

I would say the Behr's response will be NO. Their Concrete Sealer is a Silconized product that is designed to penetrate like the Silconized Acrylic concrete stain. If the sealer cannot penetrate, then it will sit on the surface and create a goopy mess.

this is the email they sent me today....
Bill,
Thank you for your inquiry into Behr products. The #910 One Part Epoxy
Clear can be added for extra durability if desired; however, it isn't
necessary.
Gordon..
so? what do you all think?

I didn't know that they had a clear in the 1-Part Epoxy. My only concern with adding the epoxy would be what happens when you need to do a maintence recoat in the future? Would you have to off strip off the clear coat before applying the stain again?

well this is not going to work
So DONT buy Behr Concrete stain for your garage floor. It WILL lift on to hot tires
I just put down some cheap tile till I decide to do next.... Glad I only did half the garage.. less to strip off later

It's about time to stain and seal my stamped concrete driveway.
When I moved into this house the sealant at the time was maybe a few years old so it was still pretty effective. If the driveway was damp at all then it became quite hazardous.
I would seriously consider not doing anything at all to it.
Can any of you provide some insight on taking care of my stamped concrete while minimizing how slippery it may become?
Thanks a lot!!
