Epoxy floor covering

I am cross-posting this for a colleague who is not presently on this
list, but she does have access to e-mail and so if anyone has any advice
for her you could respond to her directly and I know she'd be grateful.
Thanks.  -- C. Tancin

    Subject: Epoxy floor covering

    Greetings: Is epoxy floor covering all right to use in a special
    collection? My floors are cement, dyed red to a depth of about
    1/4 inch, and Id like to just wash and keep them as is.  I have
    been told they would "look better" with an epoxy coating. I
    don't agree either aesthetically or as a conservation measure,
    but I don't know all the issues.  Please let me know if you do.
    Sincerely, Jane Cole.
