sealing with pvaConcrete floor needs sealing to keep the dust down, what mix? 5 to 1 comes to mind but I'm in the pub and slightly forgetful. |

1 to 5 springs to mind although I've found PVAs to be of differing quality. If it's an important job then I'd buy a decent one and follow the instructions on it.
Yes, Wickes suggest 1:5 - http://www.wickes.co.uk/pcat/210cdhesiveschecklist |

Is this 1 pat PVA to 5 water? | ||

Yes, from the link I gave:
I'll add I've never done it though, just aware of the dilution. |

Belated reply - the PVA they supply these days is so watered down that 4 or 5 to one is useless - plaster will slide down walls, floors will scuff right up again, etc.
About the only stuff that isn't shit is Cementone, and I'd still mix that at 2 parts water to one PVA. |

Did the job until the floor was covered about a month ago. | ||

Ah, I thought it was a shed floor or something and you were keeping it naked!
