I put down 2 coats of Benjamin Moore Alkyd oil-based floor paint on an
unpainted concrete floor in my basement workroom. The high end paint
store in town said its very durable, and they use it in their back
room, etc. It went on smooth, and looks very nice. Its been about 30
hours since the final coat.

I kind of tested the paint's durability by digging a fingernail in to
see what would happen. I was a bit surprised when it dug in and left
a mark. Then I took a board and scraped it along the paint to test
it, and it took some shavings up.

What's the deal here? Does it need more setting time? Is it not
durable to sharp objects? This is a workroom, so there will be
scraping things going on. Please let me know what the deal is!!

Did they know you were planning to use it on concrete? Did you follow
the instructions exactly (coverage gal per sq ft)? Does the paint recommend
use on concrete floor?
