Greetings Fellow RVers,
Quick Build RV-8 wings and fuselage are coming next week, so I'm finishing up on the hangar. 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 will probably call Rustoleum tomorrow, but does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks, Chet

I rented a floor surface grinder/concrete shaver and ran it all over the floor of my hangar prior to paint. Mine too was sealed and it seems to have worked great. 3 years do far and no paint lifting.

Yes,

Do not use Rustoleum. It will chip and peal and come off from oil or fuel or even just time. I know, I tried it in a garage.

Hire a professional you find on line to put on an industrial grade product. If you search on line, you will find pilot / hangar horror stories as I did after my first try. My second try with a pro worked fine.

Aviation Consumer did a comparison and report on hanger (garage) floor paint
a year or two ago.

I used this stuff:

http://www.epoxy-coat.com/

A buddy and I did it ourselves in about 8 hours. 44x62' hangar floor. 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)

I used Rustoleum on my hanger floor more than 10 years ago and it is still great. I did sand the floor first, using a rental floor polisher with an open grit. then applied two coats.
