They did not test it. He says it's 31 days old, should be fine. It looks really heavy, the chips are stacked up and it's really not semi-smooth. Is this intentional? I have no experience with these coatings and I really think the concrete looked much better. The bubbles are found throughout and...

Pictures of grinded floor and crack treatment

I posted a month ago about some new concrete that got cracked while curing. I think they're "crazing" cracks. I was debating whether or not to have them covered with polyaspartic at the contractors expense. Well we went ahead and did that and it looks horrible. Wayy rougher than expected. And...
