Default Seal that concrete!

Scott,

Before you put ANYTHING on that lovely concrete, consider waiting till its cured then proof coat it with a penetrating concrete sealant. I used liquid Perspex in a previous shed and it worked a treat. Concrete dust was nil, sweeping up and removing oil drops was easy. Gave it two coats to leave a slick slightly gloss finish, so had to take a little care if it got wet, but ended in a much tidier and dust-free shed/work environment.

The shed after that was coated with a so-called concrete paint by the building contractor: it was rubbish, and stripped off just running wheels across it, but too late to give the floor a coat of something better, so I had to live with it.

The most recent shed got a coat of a satin finish water repelling sealant, and that works fine, too.
