The area is about 600 square feet and is a below grade slab. We reckon we need to add about 1/4 of material. Any suggestions? We like to DIY as often as possible but in this case I'd prefer to source the materials myself then have someone with some concrete experience do the pouring and smoothing. We can handle any sealing that is required, but we are a bit reluctant to do the pouring ourselves.


Thanks in advance...this is a great resource!

1- I want to know which are the mixes that can handle both horizontal and vertical application (or should I go with different brand names depending the application).

2- Also, which mixes will resist extreme weather conditions (-30 on winter and +35 on summer). And yes, I know that from the brands web sites they all assure you resistance, but they just want to sell you the product right..??...

So I guess this questions are directed to experienced contractors and not to sellers.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer.

- Coffee - A medium to dark brown
- Titanium - A lighter version of Gunmetal
- Bubblegum - Yes pink bubblegum
- Dark Green - No explanation needed
- Green Apple - Was almost called "Granny Smith" but we thought better
- Lilac - A true light purple/violet color
- Red Yellow - The jury is still out on this one. It is red from one angle and yellow from another
- Canary Yellow - Just bright yellow
- Sherbet - Does "Dreamcicle" sound better? We didnt think so either
- Concord Grape - A purple grape, not a green one

Changes:

1. We will begin packaging in a much more durable and crack resistant HDPE containers instead of brittle polystyrene.

2. For the time being, only the new containers will utilize the new packaging.

3. The containers will be larger, much larger. Actually, instead of 8 fluid ounce containers,... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Ken Freestone) http://concretelocator.com/topic/9254 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:31:33 PST <![CDATA[ Highlighting ]]> http://concretelocator.com/topic/9251/t/Highlighting.html feeds@kickapps.com (stampit) http://concretelocator.com/topic/9251 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 14:38:40 PST <![CDATA[ Spartic All ]]> http://concretelocator.com/topic/9245/t/Spartic-All.html ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (srh425) http://concretelocator.com/topic/9245 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:28:51 PST <![CDATA[ elite crete price question? ]]> http://concretelocator.com/topic/9244/t/elite-crete-price-question-.html feeds@kickapps.com (teresa) http://concretelocator.com/topic/9244 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:35:49 PST <![CDATA[ A few questions, first timer here. ]]> http://concretelocator.com/topic/9242/t/A-few-questions-first-timer-here-.html
I am acid staining my concrete using antique tan( really hoping this is not going to be super yellow-looking) I am in the process of getting the paint off the concrete , already got off most of the dry wall mud. I plan on buying a product called citristrip to help with getting the paint off as the fumes from goof off were bothering me. I am going to rent a square floor buffer to sand the concrete down once I get the paint off. Heres where I need some help.Do I just throw the water/ammonia mixture on the floor and sand it with the black pad? Then wet/vac up that mess? Then go over it again with a mop and clean water and wet/  vac that up? OR do I need to clean it with TSP? I found a TSP cleaner that is phosphate free and says it is fume free and rinse free. One other question. After I get it cleaned, let it sit over night.

My plan is to scarify the deck to remove the old stamp pattern and start with a clean slate. Then replace with a thin stamp overlay.

My question is: Is taking as much as 1/4" of the top too much for a scarifer to handle? Would it take forever to do? Or could I strip the sealer off some way and put TP right on top of the existing stamp pattern to cover it up.

Any help or comments would be very appreciated.
