What did you have to do at the concrete joints? Did they have to be filled prior to the VCT?

I troweled the (1/8" saw cut) joints flush with an elastomeric type concrete seam sealer product (which I can't recall the specifics of, right now)...I was pleasantly surprised to have had ZERO "telegraphing" of the saw joint lines through the VCT tiles, which I was prepared to accept, if it did happen.

I've heard Bondo does a good job as well.

I used Sherwin Williams grey epoxy. I did mine in 2008 and no peeling so far. I did not use a top coat clear. If I want it looking new again, I can scuff the floor with a buffer and recoat.

If you want, I will dig up the exact part number.

For an old floor I cant say but when you guys are pooring new, check BASF product call'd Mastertop, in US it's Mastertop® Anvil-Top®300

Check it out, by far best thing you can put in your new floor.

In Europe its been widelly used in any kind of factorys, parking garages, shopping malls and so on. Any floor that has to stand for hard use. You can stained if you want.

Made my garage 7 years ago and still looks like new. No bad thing to say. It even prevent oil and other liquid s absorbing into to congrete.
