- acid etching w/ clean-n-etch stuff?

- primer - soaks down, bonds with concrete (usually water based)
- do we need the oil-stop kind? is there oil in our concrete?

final
Types:
- solvent-based: doesn't like humidity, high VOC, unsafe indoors
- water-based: much lower VOC
- solids-based: no VOC, best but more expensive
- are they all 2-part? A+B (resin + hardener)?
Brands:
- Rust-O-Leum EpoxyShield (cheap at home depot, only 2 colors)
- Muscle Gloss (very expensive)
Methods:
- 1 base coat w/black paint, 1 top coat w/glitter? I love this video - they are using one of these products but method is probably similar for other brands
