Thank you for this video. I love your sense of humor along with the top tier tutorial. I'm happy to see it's holding up even after 3 years. These videos give me nostalgia of working outside with my dad. Thank you very much my friend
Thank you so much for this. Thank you.
This is awesome. You are real and don’t try to come off as an expert. The rest of us novices appreciate it!!!!
Thank you so much. I am just like you and far from an expert. I just really liked this product.
That looks good, I imagine a second coat would give the floor a truly magnificent gloss.Thanks for creating and posting your video.
saturnthunder thank you so much.
U talk to much, just show the product,and how it's supposed to be used.looks like u want attention
@@anahigarza8308 u a hater! It is his channel and video. You do know that youtube has the ability to forward through the video as much as you want right?!
He talks about this early in the video he said they look the same
@ exactly! 💯🤣
Nice, I'm going to seal my husband's shop for Christmas thanks!
I love it. Shopping for a client who owns an event facility. Can't wait to share this video. Thank you.
Thank you so much. :)
Nice job. If you let the acrylic dry on the roller handle and once it get hard you can use a utility knife to start to pull a strip of the dried acrylic off. Once you have a strip you can pull, just peal off the acrylic. Can do the same with buckets. Come out nice and clean. No mess.
Good to know. Thank you.
Im working on an old concrete store building and turning it into a craft shop. I will try this on the floor and see how it comes out. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this entertaining and accurate video/tutorial. My shop floor (1200sq ft) turned out AMAZING. I'm turning it into an events venue and the gloss on the seal made all the lights pop and reflect from the floor creating additional illumination. Eagle Gloss is a good and cost effective product. I wish I could share my b4&after pictures here. Anyway job completed with "accurately measured" dish soap in the mop bucket and donned sox! Good call.
So happy to hear this. Thank you for watching.
Question, does the floor get slippery is rain or snow gets on it? Thanks in advance!
Do u have a video or pics posted?? I want to see the results from this
Looks good. It's a 25% solids product so it's not stain proof but is better than nothing. Little/No prep is needed on this sealer. UV light is what breaks it down so interior work may see a reseal every 10-15 years vs exterior being 2-4 years.
I was about to go through the trouble of staining my floors and doing sealer then saw this video. Returning my stain now and going with this. I have a 30x45 shop! Man thank you so much fo keeping it easy. :)
Still the best choice for the price I have made. You will love it.
@@JohnEngel I love the color and the natural transparency of the sealer. I just ordered the eagle gloss, it takes a week but worth the wait. Going to do the prep now and just wait!
@@alexsoltani5241 keep me posted. I really think you are going to love this.
Just wanted to tell you thanks for answering my questions awhile back. We are gonna do our floors this weekend. I called eagle with a few other questions and I told them I had heard about them from a CZcams video. Their response was, “are you talking about that guy with the cars?” He was super nice and said they were probably going to reach out to you because you have a lot of followers. My guess is they have received a lot of business from your videos.
Anyway thanks again.
PeterDanielle Willcott that’s awesome. Keep me posted and thank you so much.
Muriatic acid cleanses, etched and preps concrete for applications of any type sealant.
not recommended for epoxy because it can cause it to debond
Looks great.... Can't wait to see the vehicles in the new home.
Gary Feenstra you and me both. They are working on the front now.
John, awesome product I did the interior of my beach house.
NOTE: On new fresh poured concrete you need to allow the concrete to cure 72 hours minimum, and for best results mist slab every 3 hours for one day.
Yuri Pantic hello and thank you so much for this. I totally forgot to mention the part about waiting until the slab is completely cured. I didn’t know about the misting but great advice.
@@JohnEngel Yes, the mist is so you can save that second coat. concrete sponges lots of humidity is subject to weather if your garage was poured and not sealed and sat for more then a week this actually helped to close the pores of the concrete allowing to use less of the sealer.
On my job sites, when we pour slabs, we hose them down ones a day after the slab has cured, nice work!
How’s it holding up in the shop after a year? Do you have to redo it every year? Would it be possible to ad a clean coat over top of would that not adhere?
Hello, so far it’s been really great. Here is a review video I made.
czcams.com/video/8YeAnEoHhQg/video.html
@@JohnEngel is it slippery when wet? I wash cars a lot inside
@@ParoDoXz it does get slippery when wet.
@@JohnEngel okay thanks for letting me know
@@ParoDoXz coatings that are slippery when wet can be fixed by adding simple play sand to the paint, you can get the sand at lowes, home depot or any soil yard near you.. This same thing is done in the Navy, its called Non-skid..
I have a two car garage and was looking for a simple solution, something let me wash the floor sometimes and don't worry about some small spills, so here I found the product, thanks
This is perfect for that.
Great Video man! Love the value you show with this product!!
Same here. Thank you so much.
2 coats are for maximum durability and longevity. Also the 2nd closes up any pin hole pours that may have been missed by the 1st coat. Hope this helps
Yes. I should have done two coats for sure.
Thanks for this video. I will be doing it this summer in Canada
You will be amazed for the price and results.
Nice I like the before and after.
Nathan Hunter thank you. It was the best bang for the buck.
I was looking for a way to seal the cement in my basement and was looking primarily at those DIY garage epoxy systems. But this may be a far cheaper way to do the same thing.
Loving your home improvement videos
Thank you so much.
I love it. I am going to do a basement and garage with this. I never fuel anything in the garage and store all but generator and vehicles in a shed.
Best bang for the buck for sure. :)
Awesome buddy. Many thank. Just bought my dream house and will use this stuff
You will love it.
I m going to order it. Thanks for the tip. Great finish.👍
I think you will love it. Best bang for the buck.
Can you add it over a painted floor?
@@jessicastanco3035 yes Jess
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the video. Looks great! Can't wait to do my basement.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
How'd it go by chance? Thinking doing my garage for my son...
I'll do this on my brand-new construction and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing.
btw, nice car collection 🔥❤️
Thank you. It’s a great product. You will love it.
Thanks brother... I been searching ... all product... this is kinda cheap but it look great ... this is my summer project...👍👍👍👍👍
I'm an old time diy er and I swear by sealing concrete over painting!!! Nice job!! Like your garage too!!
Thank you so much. I totally agree with you. :)
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to show your process. I think this is the route I will be taking.
Brad Zwaska for the money it’s hard to beat this product. Keep us posted.
Just has the dirt hauled in and leveled off. No turning back now. Will do!
Brad Zwaska that’s awesome. Making good progress.
Great stuff John.. Thank you for sharing...
Thank you so much.
I’m definitely going to use it in my garage great video
Thank you so much.
Dude good info. Thanks I am grateful
Thank you so much.
Need to do this on my garage this summer
Enzo Fxx it’s been the best bang for the buck that I have done.
Nice video, I am painting my garage floor with concrete paint. Can I use this over that paint or is it only for bare concrete?.
You are hilarious and fun to watch and learn, great job!
Thanks for watching!
cool video, I have 3 questions if you or someone would kind to help:
what if garage f'oor is slopped towards a drain? will the epoxy run off the concrete ?
what if you have repaired cracks, does the epoxy hide it all?
what if your concrete is cracked heavily, and/or bucketed towards the the wall do you just use leveling cement and use epoxy?
Beautiful man great job you inspired me to do my own now thank you
Thank you.
That looks great John. Do you think Mica powder would work for tinting this? My wife and I are buying our first home and it has a 25x30 shop and this is the first thing I want to do to the shop before I move all my woodworking tools in. Thanks for the informative video.
I don’t know about Mica powder but I do know this project can be tinted. Just check with you local paint store for the correct tint.
I love it. Thank you. I’m doing it- soon!
It really is the best bang for the buck and it looks awesome.
Hi John...I have a interior storage with plain concrete that I would like to add a clear coat high gloss, but I need to make sure if it will hold since concret has not been sealed before, I just poured and make it smooth couple of weeks ago. Thanks for your recommendation.
Appreciate the video John. I just did my garage with Eagle gloss coat based on your review. Looks great, and I'm happy with the product. Not a big deal but I used a 1/2" nap roller that left some unwanted texture in the surface finish. Did you experience this too? Wondering if a 3/8" roller would finish for a smoother surface. Thanks again!
James I know you will love it. Mine did not have a texture at all. It was very even and level.
@@JohnEngel mine spread pretty even and covered well in 2 coats. I think a 3/8 nap roller would leave a smoother finish than what I used. Either way, really glad I used this product!
I use a rubber spreader like you use to take water off a window.
Hey how has the gloss held up overtime? Has it wore off from vehicle traffic at all?
I wonder if a second coat was applied and allowed to cure what burnishing would do or would it FUBAR it.
Looks great and Happy Trails.
That is a great question. I am not exactly sure.
Thanks for the video! Was the floor completely dry when after one day from being mopped? If it had some moisture underneath from not being completely dry, do you think it will affect it much?
It was completely dry. You want as little moisture as possible. As long as it is no longer colored from moisture and dry to the touch you should be fine.
Good job. Yes I will wear a mask. I like Superclean degreasser for jobs like this. Good prep. It’s important.
Fantastic product for low $$. Your garage looks bigger than my house 🤣. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 Subbed ya 👍
Thank you so much. Glad to have you. :)
Can a paint be added to this product?
I don't think the 2 coats Is for looks , its for durability.
I think you are correct as well.
Looks awesome! I may need to do this as well
Thanks!
You will love it.
Products on construction have become so diverse, however, they've opened up the opportunity for people to choose exactly what they need from those products. Therefore, someone's Garage might need this sealer because of their needs, but someone else will need epoxy for his/her garage because of their needs. That concept is very crucial to so many people and making things harder to understand but more reliable and useful to the specific needs that they're made for.
- I believe that we are entering an era where companies will give us their products according to the information they acquire from us about our specific problems or needs..., just like going to the hospital and getting questions for the treatment to be executed or prescriptions.
I understand exactly what you’re saying. I am not affiliated with the company at all, but was looking for something to cover a large space that would not be in the thousands. A two-part Apoxsee would have been my best bet but the amount that I saved by using the sealant was in my best interest.
Looks great
Hi, great video. I just painted my floor with white Epoxy paint. It has more of a mat finish. Do you think this is good for me to use to give the floor a smooth shinny look? Also, the biggest question..... is it really clear or will it turn my floors an off-white/yellow color?
Unfortunately, this product should be used on bare concrete. If you use it over epoxy it will not be able to adhere properly. This product is 100% clear.
Good video, love the commentary man, real easy watch
Thank you so much.
Great info man, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much.
LOVE THIS, going to do the exact same thing.
For the price it’s the best I have found.
Man, that's worth twice the price. I wonder can you stain the floor before application if you wanted to? It's pretty awesome.
Sealed ad so much easier to keep clean
Great question. I have not used it on a stained floor but color can be added to the sealant.
The sealer might re generate the stain ...try a sample first to see ...if you spray the first coat shouldn't be a problem... rolling might re liquify the stain and make a mess
Thinking about doing this to my bedrooms.
Just keep in mind that it is slippery when wet.
Concrete takes quite a while to fully cure. I would recommend waiting quite a while before putting any kind of sealer on concrete as the moisture will be trapped, and ruin the finish.
Very nice info thank you. I have one question please:
Is it slippery when wet?
It definitely is very slippery when wet. You can add aggregate to it, which will help with that.
Super hack right here! I can’t wait to do my floors!
you will love the results.
Nice job an you saved a ton doing it yourself
When sweeping the garage try using a sweeping compound to sweep up the fine dust.
Your comment on spilling gas on the floor after stain has been applied causing stickiness. Is this easy to fix by just patching up by reapplying on sticky area or is prepping required?
Yes. After it has dried you can reapply.
Ok I'll look into it
If you're concerned with gas spilling you really should consider an epoxy or urethane product. They apply the same way and cost a little more but last 2 - 3 times longer and aren't as susceptible to gas or other chemicals.
this guy spent half the video on the mopping and cleaning. GREAAAAT
Lol. Best comment today. ;)
Awesome, 2 coats of for long lasting shine and protection, not looks. It will look the same, but if bother garages had the same amount of traffic, the one with one coat would wear out faster. Thanks again for sharing.
Perfectly stated.
Did your concrete in the metal garage have a brushed or smooth finish? I am having a 30x40 installed and the concrete will be poured next week. I like the look on your garage floors. Very nice.
Mine were all smooth finished. :)
All I need to know is when will you be here in Texas, so ready to get my floors done after 20 years in the same house and no change the flooring
I go to Aston all the time. :)
Looks great! How is the traction when it is wet? Thanks for sharing.
It does get slippery when wet. Some people have added an aggregate but I did not. It might be something that I try next time.
Looks great. I’m getting ready to do my RV port which is 18’ x 41’. Did end of up using exactly 5 gallons on your 30’ x 50’?
Lance Wilson I used right around 5 gals.
John Engel Thanks John, so I should be fine with five gallons.
A dream for many people. Your garage is has more square footage (square meters) than the average house in England (and probably a lot of other countries).
Francis Donnelly thank you so much. I feel truly blessed to have it and understand completely.
Hey John, again thanks for the great video. So I went ahead and used Eagle Sealer on my 30x45 shop floor that has already been grinded in certain spots and acid etched. I had to use about 10 gallons of eagle sealer and turned out great but it looks like my pourous concrete soaked up most of it. I'm going to do another coat. My question is what NAP do you recommend? I was told 7/8's but I think that might be the issue! Your answer would be a lifesaver!
Thank you so much. I used a Purdy roller and have included a link to the one I used.

Been looking for sealer for my new shop. You have sold me on the product... I plan to seal my floor next week.
Let me know how it goes.
Cool video I learned a lot thanks
I'll do that. I was curious. Again, your garage came out looking good. You should be pleased with it. The secret though is using more material as you said.
Diid you acid etch beforehand?? If not, it will peel in a few years. I know from my own garage :(
I did not etch before but I did put it on new concrete each time. So far no pealing after 3 years. Knock on wood.
You know you have to have a garage floor mopped and coated in Florida to avoid fleas, yes fleas. Fleas live in in crevasses
Awesome! Very interested to do this in our basement! Is there an option for a non glossy look? Or could you buff out the gloss a little, love the gloss for the garage but in the basement was hoping for a less glossier (kind of natural stone) look. Thanks for the video!
They make this in a gloss and semi gloss. I think you can also add tint if wanted.
@@JohnEngel thanks so much!
Great video, appreciate your advice. We just built a similar structure and haven't used it yet because I want to seal the floors before putting vehicles on them. I've considered epoxy and stains but my concern is putting acid in a metal building. My question is, any regrets on the sealer and are there any recommendations you can make? I'm still torn on whether to install metal walls on the inside and exactly how to get my wiring through the building. Thanks in advance!
For the price it’s the best thing ever. Lol. I love it but it’s not as strong as an epoxy would be. I would say if money isn’t a concern the epoxy is best but the sealant is a great alternative if you are on a budget.
@@JohnEngel The risk to our steel buildings with epoxy is the acid prep. The acid can damage metal components to the structure. I think I am going to take your advice with sealer but I have found dies that I can do prior to sealing that will give it a nearly museum look. I promise i have no affiliation, but check out directcolors.com. They have some beautiful examples on there site.
You get what you pay for. This product gives concrete a shine but durable.
Very nice John! Curious to ask, what's up with all the scaffolding in front of the new garage?
Tommy Bridges I’m having the building bricked to match the house. They are working on it today and I can’t wait for them to finish. I have to get that done before I can make a video on the building build. Lol
I have a rough finish on my concrete. It was left without being smoothed when laid. Will this fil in the rough areas and level everything so I can move a motorcycle jack with a heavy bike on without it getting hung up on the rough finshed floor?
If you add enough it will help with that but it’s not made to do this. The first coat will be absorbed by the porous concrete, each subsequent coat that you put on will help to smooth it out.
@@JohnEngel That could make it the million dollar garage floor, lol. Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them.
No the guys that finished it should have finished it right
Rent a marble buffer and put weight on it...use 30 grit sandpaper then 60 then 80 wet ... before you seal...no easy way out...hard trowel epoxy over it...still alot of work... Terrazzo worker 34 years
Hi John, first thank you for doing an update. I know you said your concrete was new, and you did not etch it, but was your floor a smooth finish before you sealed it?
Thank you so much. It was a fairly smooth finish.
You've just convinced me to go with a concrete sealer instead of epoxy flooring :)
For the price you really can’t beat it.
Did you have to sand or etch the floor first
I did not. It was a fresh pour so I just went right over it.
Are you still happy with it driving on it has it mess it up at would love to know how it looks now. Or have you had to fix any spots. I have a new house moving in this week and really want to do this but worried about long term
booostedtc I am still very happy with it and if you go to my channel I even have a 3 year review posted with details.
Great video. I am planning on building a metal workshop the exact same size of yours. How high is your walls? Thank you so much.
abi prates thank you so much. The walls are 12ft. I have a video on the build of the garage, specs and prices. It might be a good watch.
The floor looks awesome! What if the garage floor still has oil stains all over the floor even after you sweep and mop? Will this product still work? Will this product cover up all the dried stains??
This will go over it but will not cover them. You would need to get the floor in the condition you want before sealing.
I really like what you did to your garage floors. We would like to do that to our living room floor- (1) Did you have to etch the concrete first? (2) How did it hold up?
Hello and thank you. I think it would be great for this. I did not have to etch it and because it was just put down I didn't have any stains to worry about. Here is a update video. czcams.com/video/8YeAnEoHhQg/video.html
is it slippery after parking your car in after a rain? Thank You
james yamane I park cars that come in from the rain all the time and the cars never have an issue. It does make the floor slick and I have to make sure I don’t slip.
I’m sure you could mix an anti slip agent(clean silica sand) into it. Or spread it on top while wet.
What kinda roller is that? Is it the Eagle Long NAP 18 in. Roller Cover for Roughly Textured Exterior Concrete?
Two coats is for durability and it’s meant to run a buffer over it to create a glass like smooth surface. The buffer will burn through some of it so that’s why two coats
I will tell you that a minimum of 2 coats should be used. Lol. You live and learn.
Awesome job. Would you recommend it for a living room?
Pedro Sanchez if it was a concrete floor it would work well. I would add a tint to it.
@@JohnEngelNice! Thanks John
@@JohnEngel, can you paint the concrete floor , adding designs , allow to cure & then finish with this product ? Thinking about doing this to the inside of ranch style home , pet's are the issue , trying for a durable floor inexpensively . Thank you , in advance for any recommendations .
@@chrispontikakis7917 I’m sure you could however this product is made to be used on bare concrete so it can be absorbed into the floor.
Also, did you use the concrete sealer, THEN the clear coat? I was about to purchase this right now, but it says not to apply it directly over concrete
Thomas Chung it’s just a sealer, no clear coat.
@@JohnEngel thanks so much! Can wait to get this done!
Thomas Chung I used the Gloss Coat.
@@JohnEngel last question, did you find that etching was necessary on a brand new floor or did you skip this step?
Thomas Chung all of my applications have been on new floors so I have never done any etching.
Thank you I’m going to paint event space black than eagle gloss thank you
i dont like coating when you get oil on the floor its a death trap and if a get oil on the floor I use a red robin seasoning shaker filled with portland cement or flyash from my coal stove and the stain go's away. thanks for sharing
Just what I was looking for. My garage and basement floors are needing help.
Awesome and glad it was helpful. Keep us posted how it comes out.
Dude, thank you so much for this video. I made the mistake of going with the Behr wet-look sealer in my studio. I put on two coats and the wet-look just wasn't there. Not even close to what the brand themself claimed. I plan on re-doing this project and was shopping around for other brands. I think Eagle Gloss Sealer is a winner for my next project.
So far I have loved this product and I think you will too. :)
If Glaze n seal is still around their products are amazing.
@@rapid13 I’ll have to try them.
John, do you think that one coat will do good for my Two boys room floor? I am removing the carpet, that is stained and full of dust and shine the concrete floor! It will be better and easy to clean and avoid allergies. Thanks for your video and advice, very well explained.
It’s should work well. The only item is for about 3 days the smell is very strong.
Great video
I know the feeling my wife makes me wait too.
Michael Valone Lol. So true.
@@JohnEngel my wife never makes me wait... what a great wife I have :)
@@QSing999 you are so lucky. Lol
You sure had a lot of sunshine coming thru the base of the walls.
Please do a follow-up video on this so we can see how it holds up after a year and again at 2 years.
