Easiest solution, get someone else to do it for you Smile Nothing better than sipping your coffee and play the Xbox whilst someone else is breaking out a sweat 🤣

It’s to seal the floor and reduce suction on the coating from the substrate ie concrete.

Basic PVA will do the job and it’s cheap and fine on a dry floor. However PVA remains water soluble even after drying, so if the floor doesn’t have a DPC under it or is fairly newly laid then it’s advisible to use an SBR primer instead which isn’t water soluble once cured. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I have a triple garage. We've lived here for the past 38 years and I haven't had a car, except a Hillman I was restoring, in the garage. My motorcycle is in there, though.

It's all workshop and storage. Ron B. VK2OTC
