Dempy Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Loads of products you can buy, just pop in to a builders merchants and ask. Problay dusted because it was mixed with too much fines and laid too wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno 357 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 or you could just seal in with "concrete sealant" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno 357 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 That floor leveling compound. Its no good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempy Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Wickes RC45 is a concrete mix used for most agricultral applications! I take it your name is a reference to a cartridge and not a concrete mix though? I would sooner use a proper sealant than a paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren m Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 your right the mixture was a bit wet to say the least would thompsons water seal be any good or should i go look for a concrete sealant thanks lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember in a kennel, the dogs will be peeing, so you need a good seal as the urine WILL eat away at the concrete over time.

darren m Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 pegleg - its for out side use mate , shoot and fish -- does the floor seem less dusty with the thompsons on . paint would look nice but i dont think it would be hard enough wearing cheers lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegleg31 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 the paint this company does in kirkby in ashfield is designed for factory floor's like i said i've forgotten the name but i could direct you or take you to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Don't wate your time or money painting it if the dogs have already peed on it, the ammonia will be retained by the concrete and will throw off any coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 watered-down PVA glue to seal it, leave for a few days and get some Screwfix garage floor paint on it - cheaper than wickes and does the job just as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickrod Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 sealing a dusty concrete basesealing a dusty concrete base sealing concrete -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lads --i recently made up a concrete base to put a dog run on for my springers, trouble is the surface is really dusty . no matter how much i brush it off theres always a dusty covering . SO is there anything i can use to paint on a concrete kennel base to seal it or reduce the dust coming off of it. thanks get some stabalizing soloution from a good trade paint shop, that will then seal the dusty surface, then you can paint over it with normal floor paint.

unclestuffy Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Flickrod has got it spot on. Buy Johnstone's stabalizing solution as it is a resin in solvent that binds the particles together so stop the dust. The SS then acts as a key for the next coating.

V8landy Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) i recently made up a concrete base to put a dog run on for my springers, trouble is the surface is really dusty . I think the key word here is recently! Just give it a few months, of weater, dog **** and etc and it it will be fine. Like wise a few months, of weater, dog **** and etc on ANY of the above products will have washed/erroded them away to you will have wasted your money and time.
