Can you recommend a source?We have ceramic tile in a hallway and in a bathroom. They don't get slippery when water wet. I suppose an oil slick would be slippery, but I don't spill much oil (my leaky old cars have large galvanized steel drip pans under them). I have heard it said that ceramic, and particularly porcelain tiles, when cemented down properly on concrete, are very crack resistant. I would love tile (and would use dirt-colored grout). My garage is 735 sq. ft. |

At the Oktoberfest of the BMW Car Club of America a few years ago (in Monterey).Spaten brewery was a sponsor and supplied free beer ... and free promotional German-style license plates. I am from Munich originally, worthwhile visiting the real things if you make it to Europe! |

When I still built TV studios we used commercial epoxy, that stuff was fab. Professional cameras used to be pretty heavy on slim wheels, that stuff can stand it, also dead flat if done proper. Expensive though. Tiles you‘ll probably crack all the time, also pretty cold underfoot without heating. |

The first time was before the Welt and we just walked on the factory floor instead of the catwalks as is now. One of the great moments was when one of the robot welders misfired and sprayed our shop coats with sparks.drhex wrote: When I still built TV studios we used commercial epoxy, that stuff was fab.

Yeah, I can't believe that a floor jack wouldn't crack tiles, at least chip corners.I am going to tape down some Saran Wrap squares on the floor to leave for a week or so to see if I have any moisture coming through the concrete, particularly the old section. If the squares stay dry, I will be a little less nervous about epoxy. |

That‘s great, I love the factory tour! Used to take our baseball minor team there every year on season end (yes, it does exist in DE ). Let me know when you come through next and maybe we can sort something - I‘m living in London now. Audi in Ingolstadt as well as BMW in Dingolfing are worth a visit, too. When I was still driving a 7 series we used to have club meets there. Audi has these massive presses which churn out half cars and make the ground shake for about a mile around (which is why BMW cant operate them in MUC) |

Still a little wet in some spots but a really really really want to seal it today so it's got a few days I couldn'twork away to dry.....so all fans and heaters on the job. There are a few little stains from unsealed year...we'll see how they look after the sealer.
