    Default conquering concrete dust

    I am currently setting up in a 25yr old shed and the concrete dust just plain sucks.

    What is the cheapest way to seal the concrete and stop the dust? Just concrete paint?

    I don't care mind it looks like.

    Thanks

    I have used this product on several factory floors and it works well, very simple to use as well. It is a penetrating style seal so there is no issues with blistering or delamination from rising moisture or surface impact

    I used Bondcrete on my shed when it was built 35 years ago. No concrete dust, no sign of wear and was very reasonably priced. It is basically a PVA type of product, dries clear. Sweeping up sawdust etc. isn't a problem, and wiping up spillages such as oil drips from the chainsaw doesn't leave a stain.

    I painted my floor with paint I bought thru Gumtree or eBay.
    The seller had new tins of known brand paint that had dings in the tins.
    The paint was perfect.
    Ended up with two colours and two paint types but it was cheap, looks okay and finally after 35 years or so no more concrete dust.
