out there that wont be staine dby the small oil leaks in my car?


They were quite the thing in Air Force shops while I was still in the
service. They do protect the concrete from absorbing oil but can be
slippery when wet or oily. The A.F. (I believe) came out with a policy
of walkways being painted with some sort of non-skid.

I was assigned to a machine shop at the time and we went to a lot of
trouble to acid treat the old concrete floor and paint it with epoxy
with non-skip areas around the machines. It lasted for years and did
keep the floor looking good.
