Shop Floor FIRE PROOFING....?????
I have a new 14' X 32' Building It is going to be a great work shop, but I need to figure out a way to make my plywood floor somewhat fire retardant. I don't want to have to weld or plasma cut outside in the winter. I have a great Fireproof paint for the Walls, but I just don't know what to do about the floor. I have RTV'd all the joining spots in the shop and it's prepared and nothing in it. I don't want to move in till I figure this out. I would prefer to leave the floor as it is and coat it with something.

What about garage floor 2 part epoxy paint. You might get a burn spot or two if you are plasma cutting or welding, but I think it would definitely seal it. Probably not advisable in a completely wood structure. You might consider putting drywall up on the walls also for fire stop. (good time to insulate for cold weather too) just my .02
Nice shop by the way too!!!

My feeling about welding in THAT building????????
 You might as well spray gasoline before you start, it will go up in flames eventually. The issue is not the floor, it is the entire structure. A spark goes somewhere, smoldering starts, in the middle of the night, you hear the fire trucks driving up,,,,. Those welding/cutting sparks go 10 feet,,, land in some dust and/or cob webs, and the smoldering starts.  You could do a water washdown after welding EVERY time.

The entire building on the inside will be coated in a ASTM E-84 Class A rated paint. So I'm not worried about the walls ceiling ect. My problem is If i paint the floor I would have to re do it every couple of years.
I have seen this stuff work.

Actually bad excuse, worked a house fire yesterday that was called in at three am from a passerby. Family was on vaca luckily, but the house was fully involved by the time dispatch had been notified. We had it controlled within 15 min of arrival, but it was a total loss. Young family with two little ones, very sad to see. We have always been able to save a structure and the majority of its contents, unfortunatly the house was 5 miles outside of town and did not get noticed right away. I really am nervous about him putting all his toys in there and the same thing happening. Remember to check your smoke detectors and extinguishers often!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
