    Just put down my second coat of sealer, its the same stuff you bought Jesus-Ninja.

    Did you wash it down after it had fully dried?

    No. Should I have done? I think I just left it 24hrs between coats of sealer and then a few days before epoxy.

    I bought a 25L bottle and 2 x 5L bottles. On the big 25L bottle it just says 'wait 24 hours before washing down', but on the little 5L ones it says 'wash down once dry'.

    Its probably just to remove any residue from the surface that could contaminate the epoxy layer. Don't really think it matters though...

    Did your sealer look fully dry? It's been a few days of drying with him and there are patches that are darker and look wet still. Did you also have these damp looking patches? I think mine might need longer because its quite cold at this time of the year.

    I suspect you're right. I had no damp patches, but then my concrete had been out in the sun for weeks before the garage went up, and then the weather was still warm when the sealer went down. Have you got any heaters and ventilation in there?

    Yep there is some ventilation, but not great. Nope no heaters.

    Would it be an idea to leave the garage door open? Even tho its cold outside?

    Also did you get any white coloured patches?

    No - to be honest it all looked pretty even. I wonder if the frost has got it?
