Thank you! I followed every step that you suggested( Yes! I did read your Disclaimer :)) and so far things look great. Just applied the first Sealkrete coat and waiting for it to dry to do the rest.
Gotta admit that I don’t have any knowledge of these products, processes etc. But felt pretty confident after getting your advice. Talked like a pro with the contractors ;) Thanks a lot.
Will keep you posted. Might come back for advice on some more projects that I have in line.

That's good news .. appreciate the update, as these kinda threads usually attract numerous interested lurkers .. lol

Am curious to know if you hired someone or ended up tackling the job yourself ?

Either way, don't get in too big a hurry with your subsequent coats .. 24hrs is a good/safe rule of thumb.

One last thing > if you/family members plan on being on it in sock feet, have a gingerly trial run first to get the 'feel' of it.
The ClearSeal can make it seem a little slippery at first depending on the texture of your floor and/or how smoothly it was trowelled .. barefoot or w/shoes, no problem at all.

Hope it works out for ya.
Imho, way too many basements end up being nothing but box storage when, with not much investment of time/$, they can add lots of nice living space to a home.
