I will be etching with muriatic acid dilution my new concrete garage

How long after etching can I wait until I epoxy the floor. Assuming I
keep it clean.Does etching have a life expectancy after which I will
have to etch again. The problme I have is that it mat take weeks before
I have the time to epoxy after etching. thanks for your advice

I fail to understand the compulsion for a epoxy or painted garage
floor.

garage floors are supposed to be dirty with grease and oil stains, not
a fancy finished surface that will sooner or later demand
recoating....

given all this first the garage floor must be cured, say 6 months,
during this time you shouldnt use the garage for anything lest it gets
dirty.......

then etch it and epoxy within a few days check the epoxy manufacturers
recomendations..
