No More, Grubby Floor
Seal your shop or garage floor permanently with the new Floor Armor floor painting kit, from the makers of POR-15. It's super easy to use, making it unnecessary to clean with caustic acids or to flood your floor with water. Just use the easy degreaser on any heavy oil or grease stains, sweep away dust or dirt, and paint right over everything. Use it anywhere you have heavy-traffic areas. It can take the abuse from forklifts, floor jacks, and constant traffic. And once your floor is covered with Floor Armor, you'll be able to just wipe up oil and grease stains with a rag.POR-15(800) 726-0459www.por15.com |
