One guy mixes and pours, the other squeegies and rolls. I was pleased with the results after 3 years. I too was told to stay away from the Rust Oleum stuff (although I like their other paint products) -Mike Kraus Sent from my iPhone On Aug 23, 2010, at 12:28 AM, "William L.

I got this new Rustoleum Epoxyshield garage floor 2-part epoxy. The contractor used a cure/sealer on the concrete slab. Instructions from Rustoleum say the product can't be applied over a sealer--must be to bare concrete. The contractor said use muriatic acid to remove the cure/sealer. Rustoleum instructions say not to use muriatic acid, instead to use the citric acid provided with the kit. But the citric acid doesn't seem to remove the cure/sealer.

I did sand the floor first, using a rental floor polisher with an open grit. then applied two coats.
