I am not sure where summer went..but it went…As things cool down here are a few of my basic tips for exterior overlay applications…(Yes I am talking to you guys in the warmer climates). As always pay attention to the weather. As long as we are above 45 degrees, low humidity, clear skies I say go for it.
When mixing we try to use luke warm water to help things along…if you have the option of warm water to soak the slab then more for the better. Get skim coats down midmorning as temp rises. Air movement is your friend. Pay special attention to edges of sidewalks and driveways to prevent wicking of moisture..bottom line is get things dry before late afternoon.
These rules apply for your finish coats also. In cool weather when it’s cloudy and humid…go find something else to do!!! Remember these are basic tips..every scenario and job is different..talk with your distributor if any doubt. My frigin two cents!!!
