    A little of my handy work

    This was a grind, acid stain and seal job. This concrete was an 18 pack finish and I actually ended up planing the floor with the Lavina. The sealer is a 2 part water based urethane sealer. 2 coats with the second coat being a 50/50 satin/gloss finish. Stain is bronze and autumn leaf. I'll post...

    Removing water based concrete stain from driveway...

    Best solution is 4000psi hot washer with a turbo tip (rotary nozzle).

Be careful pressure washing strippers as it will not only...

    you can also add the acetone dye powder to the epoxy to color it, but you can't add too much because it is very concentrated. Fill it with epoxy and use the Preval method, you can blend out from the patch with it.

    just go random...I have a problem trying to make things look random because I am so OCD, but it may work out well for you. Second idea would be a rectangle or square in the middle of the garage, say a few feet out from the walls. Your initials? lol

    Cleaning Concrete before or after Grind

    not a pad, a nylogrit or stratagrit will do wonders. They are nylon bristles with abrasives impregnated into them. The nylogrit is the less aggressive of the 2. It will serve a dual purpose of cleaning and profiling.
