    My garage floor is dusty. I want to stop the dust. What should I seal the floor with or seal and paint it? Does anyone have experience or can advise best option?
    Thanks

    If it’s just to stop it being dusty give it a coat of thinned out polybond.

    I painted one of mine a few weeks ago. I sealed it then painted it. The garage looks a lot cleaner and brightened it up nicely

    Is there any specific sealer or paint or will any hardware have what I require?

    Thanks

    I cleaned any stains with a wire brush, swept the floor and hoovered twice, used one coat concrete sealer then used ronsel floor paint. Not sure how hard wearing it is but perfect for what I needed

    I built a shed a few years ago and had problems with the cement dust on the floor. Kids were coming in from it looking like they had been subjected to a volcanic ash shower. Anyhow I had some Thomson's water seal handy and I applied it and it worked a treat. I know its not really meant for that purpose but it worked for me.
