 After rerouting wires to where they are now safely routed thru the studs instead of hanging down over the out side of studs making putting up insulation and drywall impossible. So fter getting the last of the drywall up, yesterday I moved out everything that I could and the rest pushed to one side. Then I mopped and cleaned the cement. After that applied the base coat of cement sealant. I'm using a combo of Ghostshield products. 

Ghostshield: Lithi-Tek 4500 Concrete Sealer/Densifier


and

Siloxa-Tek 8500 Ultra Concentrate

The densifier makes the concrete up to 50-60% stronger, will meake the surface much harder to resist chipping and dusting. It bonds at a molecular level with the cement. This coat takes 7 days to cure before the top coat of 8500 goes on. It will cure in 24 hours to being walked on and  traffic so, today the stuff on the side tat didn't get coated will go tho the treated side and I'll clean and coat this side. If it was less than 24 hours I would have moved it out side but prefer not to have to leave stuff out overnight. The next coat will be 7 days from today with the Siloxa-Tek 8500 concentrate. That product is cured and dry to traffic in a few hours so the whole floor can be done at once. It with make the cement water and asalt resistant to where any spills will float but not penetrate the slab. It is also highly oil repellent giving you time to clean up without staining the slab.
