Yes there are certain kinds of epoxies that can be applied over SOME sealed floors. It depends on what type of sealer was used first. They tend to not bond well with some solvent sealers, but water based ones will work. You just have to use the right epoxy primer so it will bond

Can you stain after sealing concrete floor?
Generally no. Most stains must absorb into the concrete. If the stain just sits on top of the sealer then it will likely wear away.
Can you pour concrete on a concrete floor with an epoxy coating?
You must remove the old epoxy coating before pouring the new floor, for otherwise there will be no bonding. If the epoxy coating is thin (e.g, paint) then it may be possible to remove it by hand sanding. If it is a thick coating, then sandblasting is probably the best method. In either case, appropriate dustmasks and other safety precautions are essential. Good luck
How to seal crack in concrete floor?
If the crack is large, you'll have to get some more concrete and use it to fill the crack. If the crack is small, you may be able to simply patch it. If you plan on coating the floor with some type of epoxy floor coating, you may be able to simply leave the cracks alone before application, simply allowing the epoxy material to fill the cracks. The work will still come out evenly and the epoxy will actually hide the spot where the crack was once located.
Can you put epoxy sealant over latex paint on cement floor?
I spoke to the one paint dealer I have confidence in and was told yes I can do exactly that i.e. put a latex (not sure about alkyd) two part epoxy coating over my concrete latex floor paint. First I sanded the surface to get a better bond and my next move is to clean the floor. As a suggestion be sure you have a concrete paint on the floor. If not you could have other problems which I encountered originally i.e. paint not adherring to the concrete in the presence of water. USE ARMORGUARD EPOXY FLOOR COATING, It will last forever, its 100% Solid, No fillers, ODORLESS and NON TOXIC, Its also made with MICROBAN to prevent mold, mildew or algae, look on www.ecosmartepoxysystems.com for more information
Do you need a waterproof membraine if installing floor boards directly onto concrete?
If you understand that concrete is a porous material that absorbs and has moisture in it, you then should also understand that this moisture will move toward the top surface of a concrete floor. This moisture will promote mold growth and will also destroy the bond of of most adhesives. Membrane coatings are prone to failure when this moisture carries alkali in concrete to the surface. You are much better off using a penetrating sealer such as "StableCrete" to waterproof the concrete. This product penetrates to form a solid in the capillary/gel-pore system of a concrete. This stops moisture migration and provides for a superior bond to the concrete.

How to fix Quikrete epoxy sealer white spots after drying?
I have had success clearing the white spots after the floor is cured by pouring very hot water onto the hard epoxy surface and letting it sit there all day. The hot water will penetrate any pores in the epoxy and moisten the concrete below.At first it will look like the water created dark spots on the epoxy, but the moisture eventually goes away. Wherever the moisture reached, the white spots become clear.You might have to add more hot water to saturate the concrete enough to reach all of the white spots.Saved us from having to redo the floors!
