The epoxy coated floor makes it far easier to clean up.

Cement cures over time. You want to wait 2-3 months before you have it coated.

From your finished look thought, I expect you would object to what I did which was to have all my machines deliver to our living room-the industrial look is very popular-isn't it.

You can add grit to the finish so that it is not so slippery.
I wonder if it would make it wear out faster. Our floor is four years old. I truly use it hard and there is no sign of wear.

The minus-water is slippery. Wax or oil and it is like an ice skating rink

I did my own, over 4 years ago, I did add 'shark grip', and like above, I have a shop in the garage, my only mistake (a big one) the material I used does not stand up to gasoline and occasional solvents...., so I need to be real careful.
