I had a concrete garage pad poured on Monday and want to seal it. My
reason for sealing it is to prevent bad oil stains and other
problems...plus it would be nice not to have dust come up for it. I
did a search and I see wait 30 days and do it right after it was
poured. I was thinking of using Quickrete Acrylic Sealer. Any
suggestions on what is best to accomplish what I want...and when to do
it? Also I will be laying 2 courses of concrete block on the
perimiter...should I not seal where the block is attached?

When it comes to acrylic seals, don't get the cheapest, the best is
only a few bucks more, and it makes a big difference.

now's the perfect time to use an epoxy paint, or some other epoxy coating.
most of them say you should wait 30 days before putting down anything, and
you want to do the block work first, so you can do up the first course too.

You may want more experts to chime in, but I am to understand concrete takes
up to a year to cure. So sealing right away might not be the wisest.
