Hello josh! I have learned a lot from your videos, I ask you with regular traffic what is the recommend it maintenance of this grind & seal and how long it will take to reseal it?
Thank you so much for your comment. Regular maintenance would be dust mopping to minimize abrasive damage. Cleaning would be using an auto scrubber and water or even a mopping to collect the fine dust. Resealing it is simple enough. A surface sanding will profile it and then the water based urethane can be re-applied.

Another great video! Do you think there is any value to grouting and densifying with this process? Would you ever recommend grinding finer than 70 grit?
Thanks, Greg. Grouting will help to fill the surface holes and extend the longevity of the coating. It’ll be easier to keep clean too. As far as densifying to prepare for a coating, no. The densifier introduces highly alkaline compounds to a surface that will be covered by a coating that slows moisture movement. This would cause future issues. To prepare for a coating the surface only need be clean and absorbent. As far as diamond grit, it’s possible to run a metal 120. This would aid the surface finish being even smoother.
