Does it make sense to wrap moisture barrier up and around slab edges and sealing all the joint and gaps to make it virtually air tight? Location is kind of damp and sheet of vapor barrier left on the ground will show drops of water on the underside in less than a day. Would enough moisture migrate into the slab sideways to cause issues with epoxy floor coating?
