I thought I'd post a follow-up for the group. I called Armor All and
spoke to a knowledgable individual. He said the floor would
eventually cure, but it might take another week, or it might take 6
months. I followed his suggestion of using paint thinner to remove
the sealer. There was too much sealer to actually mop it up, so I
basically scrubbed the floor with a cotton mop and shop broom, then
washed the floor with a hose. It took about 4 gallons of paint
thinner for a 725 sq ft. He said I could use mineral spirits, but the
paint thinner was cheaper if the area was well-ventilated. A week
later the floor dried with only a little remaining sealer in spots. I
then sealed with "Cure And Seal" and the floor is fine.

I poured a concrete garage floor 7 days ago. My contractor told me to
seal it the next day, but neglected to tell me to get a product
designed for fresh concrete. I used Armor All Waterproofing Sealer 24
hours after the concrete was poured. The product says it contains
Petroleum Distillates. It's been 6 days now and (not surprisingly)
it's still wet.

I know I screwed up... but how badly? Did I damage the concrete? I'm
assuming I need to remove the sealer. What chemicals do I use? How
much will I need to remove the product from a 725 sq ft floor? Will
it be safe to wash the chemicals down my drain (which eventually
drains into a grassy field)?

Thanks for any advice!
