get it good and dry indoors a few weeks , then a coat of finish over the old will seal it. be sure the finish is applied past the end of the old finish by about 1/4 inch. that way it will seal the ends and also cover any place where the CP was not covered by the first epoxy finish.
As I understand it , water gets in cracks but also it goes under an uncracked finish where the original color preserver coat may not have been covered. If the CP coat extends past the epoxy over it , the cp eventually desolves away and the water gets under the epoxy at the edge.

Sounds like a good winter project. I would guess I can get the "finish" at a local shop>? Is it a 2-part product, or what do you recommend. I even have a slow turning motor set-up. |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

take it to Mike T. Let him coat it. You will definitely mess it up if you have not done it before.
