Tom (or others), I would like to put down epoxy paint on my shop, but it would appear the concrete guy used some type of coating (sealer?) as water beads up and the epoxy paint says not to put on top of sealed concrete. I assume he put whatever he put on the concrete to prevent it from drying too fast due to hot temps. It is not really a true "sealer" but still makes me leery to put the epoxy on top without at least asking if anyone has any suggestions. Is there anything I can use to "undue" whatever was put on the concrete? I know folks use muriatic acid to "etch" concrete, but if I were to use that, can anyone tell me how to use it? Do you put it on full strength? How long do you leave it on? Do you wash it off with water? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Right now, I couldn't be more pleased with it. The stuff is supposed to stand up to gasoline, brake fluid, grease, oil, etc. That's better than having all that stuff soak into the concrete. I'm still working on getting the rest of the new shop completed. Wiring will start next week, then plumbing when that's finished. For lighting, I'm considering T-8 fluorescent lights. They're supposed to be much better than the old T-12 fluorescents. Anybody using the T-8s or had any experience with them? I'd appreciate any recommendations you have.
