Was at a home show today and they had a booth set up. The rep touted how superior was to epoxy based coatings and emphatically stated their syst3m is not epoxy based. He said it was a superior type of plastic infused with ceramic. Went on to say etching was all that was needed, the resin gets...

What about crack repair, thin finish skim coat, lay down some tape, skip trowel more thin finish, color it, pull tape? I could give it a natural stone look with the tape and use the crack as "part of the design".

I appreciate your candid reply but why wouldn't a 1/4" over lay work?

I know this forum is for garages but since this pertains to concrete I thought I'd ask. Here's the low down....... Customer called me up to "have his patio cleaned". He colored it with a grey concrete dye a couple of years ago and for all intent and purpose looks topical but it does not repel...

Yes and no. Sanding residual stain off or to remove surface shine or to sand fuzzies is one thing. But over sanding a deck is not advised as it can actually close pore structure especially if the deck has wide latewood bands or is flatsawn lumber. Power washing in addition to removing grey...

To each their own I guess. I use flood for a few different reasons. One being it costs me a fortune to have AC shipped to me ( I've used it and it is a very good product. ..no complaints). FLOOD is one of the very few VOC compliant stains I can get locally anymore through PPG/Glidden. Their...

I get your last comment and I understand what goes into a bid in the big picture. I guess my question for bid help was more specifically geared toward product/material cost and the ins/outs of real world labor time. With my current business I DO know the price of stain and cleaning agents and...

Sigh. .. no I'm in illinois. Hoping one of the senior members in my neck of the woods makes a similar offer. Thank you anyway. As far as buying your products or anyone else's for that matter. I WANT to be the professional. I've spent hours/days...watching videos, asking questions...

I appreciate the offer to help. It's nice having a few numbers in the phone for those "oh **** what do I do now" moments lol For the record, I am in business now but the cold weather has me off to a slow start and I'm seasonal too boot. I also just bought another work truck so I don't really...

What you have on it will determine how you clean it. No stain at all and only grey lignin (wood fibers)- then use an oxygenated bleach (not sodium hypoclorite- which is house bleach)... it's a percabonate cleaner From what I can tell though you have an oil based stain on their now. Oil based...

No I didn't tell him that but I WILL stand behind my work. I've never done epoxy floors per se but I have used a grinder before and I Have acid etched, rolled and sprayed solid acrylics. Done my fair share of paver restoration and cleaned sealed multiple concrete slabs/drives etc. So although...

??? I see the filter interpreted Half my post as swear words. Lol. . Not yet. .. maybe AFTER this job

Ps.. this is assuming I won't find any cracks once I grind off the old paint
