What have you found the be the closest thing to scratch proof in a clear epoxy (top coat).

NACE · 01-15-2012, 06:45 AM

No such thing, depending on environment. 100% Solids clear, aliphatic urethane clear, polyaspartic clear.

Basically stained concrete. I guess I am just looking for the hardest non yellowing clear I can find.

In a garage with cars, inside a house, or on a concrete deck outside with sun exposure?

Aliphatic Urethane Clear is the best for that. High Odor but no UV issue, automotive clear coat hard, very glossy and durable.

I did a garage with rustoleum. Cant think of the product but its the 2 part kits from home depo.
I had a partial kit left and threw it down in my shop (with fleck). I'm not impressed with it at all. Its scratched all to hell

ICI Devoe (Devthane 379 UVA) two part clear aliphatic urethane.
Won't yellow, once cured is as durable as anything on the market.
Drawback is the smell.
