Quite so !!
Reading the label is a defeatist attitude IMHO .....
Mankind hasn't got where it is by reading the friggin' instructions.
The Neandertals could not read, nor did they have instructions to read ... and they did OK didn't they ???
Oh, hang on a bit ...... :doh:

Sorry to see the paint turned out like that Chrix :palm: but it could have been worse lol , as I found out when I painted my shed concrete floor with two pack paint that only dried to the same as sticky hard toffee , e.g you stuck to the floor if you stopped for more than one or two seconds, I tried heaters etc and left it for a couple of weeks but in the end had to scrape most of it off with a sharpened one inch wood chisel, it was stiff sticky S***t so took forever to get off :bang: :bang: :bang: :palm: :palm:............... as I was stuck to the floor doing it, I will never paint a floor again without a test patch on the actual floor lol.
Hope it turns out better with the next coat of paint :thumbup:
cheers Mick

Ouch! Chris i did not mean to put a hex on things. Forget the sealer and like the others have said just thin some paint down and go with very thin coats. It will dry very quick that way and you will get a good key into the surface. Airflow is key when drying not necessarily heat (that does help though).

Hi guys just a quick update. First of all thanks for the tips on the paint - it seems to have worked this time! I first put down a coat thinned with 25% white spirit, this really soaked in and almost vanished overnight. Then I put down a second coat just thinned a little bit, maybe 5-10%. After these two had had a few days each to dry I put down a full strength coat.
I have left it almost two weeks but I am not convinced it is completely dry underneath but has stood up to me wheeling machines over it on the engine crane so certainly usable. Now just got to do the rest of the floor!
