I’m really surprised to hear they are applying sealer right away.
My concrete contractor suggested a minimum 28 days for a full cure then after that do whatever I wanted.
Mine was cut next day as well using a green saw for uncured concrete.
I used a water based epoxy on mine after careful prep work and it’s held up great after 9 years.
Looking great, I’m sure you will enjoy your new garage.

Default Congrats!

Good job, Jordan. A great result for all your hard work.

The LED lights: are you still happy with them after the 10-odd months they have been installed? I'm currently evaluating lights for our new shop and would be interested in your experience.

Mike

Chris

It’s an acrylic cure sealer that goes on the next day. It slows the curing down and can be applied once the concrete can be walked on. I don’t have the particular name of the product used.

Mike,

I love the lights. They are super bright and we’re easy to install. I did have one bank on a unit stop working back in the winter but then has been fine since early spring. I never was able to open it up and see why. I suspect it could have been an issue with the push in quick connects that came with the lights.
