Sorry you had a problem. Sounds like your cement wasn’t fully cured or more likely you put it on too thick and the top dried, which didn’t allow what was under it to dry. Better to do a few light coats with a couple of days dry time in between. Thompson s is pretty much the cheap crap with no radon protection to speak of. Which in PA would think is an issue.Just went through this. A sink is a must. And whatever you do, DO NOT attempt to protect the cement floor from water with Thompson's Water Seal. It will not dry and stays very tacky. Thwick thwick thwick as you walk across it.
I pulled my hair out for six weeks trying to get it to dry... I tried everything, including special downward-facing fans etc.
Then I tried to take it up with a belt sander. In the end the only way I could remove it was with mineral spirits scrubbed in with a brush, then mixed into a slurry with Simple Green degreaser and vacuumed up with a wet/dry Shop Vac.
