    Now look what you've done, I paid for a perfectly smooth flat floor and you have made it impossible to sweep clean
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Ever catch the ball of your foot on that stuff? It's like you inadvertently hit the brakes and a face plant is imminent.

    it depends. If it is a fiber-crete slab it may not even have any steel in it

    Yep, depends on the climate, how well the base was compacted, Indoor or outdoor. It is faster and even more effective to cut control joints into concrete with a saw.
