Like was mentioned below, there is commercial/industrial/institutional grade materials out there (link below - 1 mfr of epoxy based coatings) + they produce other high quality materials, some are specified by NYS in their masters specifications as I recall. Materials like these are for high traffic, abrasion resistance and durable performance, the homeowner materials at the big box stores and similar do not perform like these. Same H/O grade requires existing concrete and or new/ recently cured to be etched, I've done a few, as per mfr instructions and have noticed that it does not take all that long for the winter time grit from sand and salt on the road to compromise the finish.
On the other hand, I was involved with a large state project, 11 years or so ago, whereas most of the 25 buildings received a commercial grade epoxy floor, with an anti slip aggregate applied. Some of the buildings were inmate housing, the cells were precast concrete, it received a lot of construction traffic, so the dust /dirt had to be cleaned, and all surfaces were prepared by first by the use of glass beading, to really etch the surface for the subsequent coatings, to achieve their designed bond strength. This material does cure quite hard, and the anti slip aggregate, a sand like or synthetic equal of same was broadcast applied and either the size or density adjusted to the state directors rep's liking for anti-slip properties. Housing buildings, connecting corridors, admin buildings etc. there was was a lot of square footage, (in the thousands). This material does cost, but is superior from what I have seen. There was one subcontractor, working for a prime contractor, specializing in this work, though it was not rocket science, nonetheless it was a specialty kind of work seemingly done best in by experienced hands.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
