    1200 pro with garage floor paint? personally would walk away but that might work, be sure to put on your invoice temporary floor though.

    I have just done a old stable floor. No dpm. They wanted a concrete look sealed. The problem is you can't seal a floor with no dpm.
    The old loose concrete was taken up to find a solid base which I got level with screed and granno. He was going for a dpm but now he's having some stone tiles put in.
    But I rang f.ball about it an A dpm was needed to seal the floor.

    Like most of the builders job I do is scrape off as much adhesive as possible an use green bag an 114 liquid. It won't last but she will have a grey floor.

    yep, but dont forget they dont have a moisture tolerent primer. So technically you cnat use it. Bit like most other moisture tolerent compounds out there.

    All boils back to the brits making sandwiches rather than simply doing the European method of grinding a subfloor flat etc. No excuss any more with the great prices mario has for grinding plates - http://www.tradediscountshop.co.uk/product-category/itools/

    In other words, grind the subfloor smooth and seal this.
