Call Sherwin Williams in Braintree (781) 849-0277
Ask for Eric Slater, he's the store manager. He's there until 7pm tonight. I see your location is New Bedford, but I'm sure he'll help you out and then let you know a location near you.

He should be able to give you some detailed ideas for how you can clean the surface properly and prep it. I'm willing to bet he's going to suggest you use an epoxy coating for a more durable solution.

He's my girlfriend's brother and just went through doing all the detailed research for their parents earlier this year.

Thanks JohnnyD, after laying a piece of plastic down for a night it had a ton of moisture build up under it.

I'm going to hold on until I have sometime to dedicate to it so I don't have to rush anything.

I give Eric a call either way. He'll at least give you a course of action given your situation. I mentioned your situation a bit while we were watching the game, and he did say that you'll have to acid etch it ( like many above mentioned) if you have oil on the ground. I missed the rest of what he said due to a deep pass from Brady to Moss.

You will have a tough time getting anything to stick if you had a lot of moisture. I would suggest snap lock flooring or nothing. If you find a coating that will stick let me know, the building industry has been looking since they made asbestos unavailable. Many older buildings had somewhat damp floors with cutback adhesive and vinyl asbestos tile (VAT). The asbestos fibers passed moisture thru the VAT and cutback adhesive and therefore the things would stick, put a modern solid vinyl tile down over a low VOC adhesive and you have a gooey mess and loose tile. Best of luck.
