CONCRETE STAIN OR EPOXY for Garage Floors? Best product for concrete floors.
What happens here
Both stain and epoxy require thorough cleaning and etching of the concrete surface before application to ensure proper adhesion. While epoxy application is more complex, requiring specific mixing and cure times, stain is generally much simpler for a DIYer to apply, often just needing to be rolled on in two coats. For outdoor applications on concrete, epoxy generally cannot be used as it is designed for indoor use. Therefore, for exterior concrete, a stain is the recommended choice. The speaker mentions using Sherwin-Williams H&C solid color stain for such applications.
Goal: Identify the ease of application and appropriate usage environments for stains and epoxies.
