Yep, I rolled all of it, and if I had another kit, using four for a 2.5 car garage, I think I could have achieved a much better result. Today I sanded it, rinsed, and cleared with h&c shield Crete clear from Sherwin Williams. I think that's going to help a ton.

I'll snap a pic tomorrow.

Usually we would use a notched squeegee to spread it then roll it once and done. But you will use more material. The less rolling the less air that gets trapped in it. It didn't look bad in the pick.

It looks really good, great job!  Are you gonna semi-finish the garage with drywall?  It would make the space much nicer, giving you the opportunity to run necessary wiring ,insulate making the space more comfortable to work in year around and lastly make the space brighter, rather than having the tar paper suck up the light sources.

For those of us with poor reading comprehension, what was the final product you decided on? How much did you end up needing, and if you don't mind, how much did it cost?

I used quikrete epoxy kits from Lowes, three at $74 each. Four would have covered much better. The quikrete clear was 100$ per kit, so I bought two gallons of h&c shield Crete acrylic clear from Sherwin Williams. They were $69 per gallon, but I use a painter's account number, and paid $49 each. I used one pouch of anti skid per gallon. I haven't wetted it to test it but it doesn't seem coarse enough.  Fyi, the h&c is made to be an epoxy top coat on top of an h&c two part water based epoxy that I compared msds to the quikrete.

I was just so ready to be done, and was scared of throwing good money after bad after the epoxy was down.

If I do it again, I would 100% rent a grinder, then just clear the bare concrete.
