Kinda hard to answer your question but I'd start looking at 40-60 sq. ft. a gallon and hope that would fill it OK. Make sure it hydrates for awhile. Make sure your do a light acid wash to remove any release...... When I come across this type of application on an interior, I "push" the owners to go with a regular (regulated) pour and then come back and do a thin stamped overlay. The depth of impression is much less and more detail can be achieved. It winds up costing less with much more versatility in color and design. You also use less PT1 epoxy. gene ec-Indy

Owner hates the way it looks these days, would like to recolor and eliminate the depth of the stamp job with epoxy. It's just a tad bit deeper than an average overlay stamp job. 350 sq. ft. Original sealer needs to be chemicaly stripped off also. Any thoughts?

Do you know if it's a water based or solvent based sealer? If it were me I would be calling around and find someone to do the removal. They have the machines and extractors to take care of it. gene ec-Indy

I called the guy that did the job and he can't remember what sealer he used. He's just a builder that went out and rented the stamps and did the job himself. Anyhow I told the owner I would ask some of you veteran installers about the deep epoxy fill. I was pleased to see your replies-thanks! I'm trying to sell him on css with reflector coloring. (I thought about trying to fill in the joints with tile grout after the css/rfr) He just wants me to explore doing the full deep epoxy fill. I have to get back with him and let him know if it would be an option. I think the cost would change his mind but you never know!

But as for stripping the sealer, NCL (www.nclonline.com) has a stripper called Bare Bones that a buddy of mine in Memphis has used to get rid of acrylic sealers. He swears by it and I'm going to try it the next time I have the need. Billy deco-con_plus@att.net www.deco-concreteplus.com Facebook: Decorative Concrete Plus Twitter: @DCPlus
