Thank you!!! Glad we could help!

Thanks for the comment! We don't currently have any videos on removing existing concrete. You can rent a jack hammer from most tool rental shops and bust the concrete in to small pieces so they are easier to dispose of. For larger jobs, you may rent a skid steer to remove the concrete and have someone haul it off for you with a dump truck. It just depends on the size of the job and how much hand work you willing to do. If you search "concrete slab removal " on RUclips there are quite a few videos out there. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!

Thanks for the comment! Once you have the screed line established, you can either pull the grade pin out with a Vise-Grip or pound it down with a hammed. If you pound it down, make it's down far enough to get full coverage over it with the concrete. Otherwise it could create a weak spot. Make sure you do this as you go. Once you've screeded past it, you won't be able to get to it any more. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!

Thanks for the comment! The base rocks should be 3"-4" thick. It's also important to compact the sub base material, you can rent plate compactors from most tool rental shops. I'll leave a link to another video covering sub base prep and forming. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!! ruclips.net/video/grwqtx5ajUQ/видео.html

Thanks for the comment! As with any concrete project, there no guarantees against cracking. That said, concrete overlays generally don't crack very often unless there are cracks in the existing concrete. In that case, there's a good chance it'll crack back through unless the crack is delt with first. Even if it dose crack, as long as you do the prep work, priming, and application properly, it'll just be a hair line crack and still function just fine. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!!

Thanks for the comment! The safe answer would be to remove the sealer before applying Revival. I know it doesn't seem like there's much there, but even a small amount of sealer can cause a bond break. Sand/soda blasting is the best way of doing this. It'll remove the remaining sealer and also open up the pores of the concrete. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!

Thank you, Frank!! Have a great week!👊

Thanks for the comment! Wire mesh is a commonly used form of reinforcement. We prefer rebar for exterior concrete, but a lot of contractors use wire mesh. Thanks for watching!

@@DecoCreteTV Contractors like rebar and the stronger than mesh sales pitch. However, I talked to DIY and engineers say mesh is fine for residential garage.

Thanks for the comment! We don't have any plans of opening up a store in IN, but if there's no Deco-Crete distributors in your area, let us know. We'd love to know where you get your decorative concrete products. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for the comment! The main purpose of those tamper rollers or sometimes called jitterbugs is to push the large aggregates down a litter farther. It's the same idea as the vertical style tampers, just on a roller so you can do this from outside the forms instead of tamping as you pour. We've never used any of these tampers, so I can't speak from experience on this one. Some contractors use them on stamped concrete jobs and say that it's easier to push the stamps in. I could see this working well on stamp patterns that have really deep grout lines. These tools are commonly used out west, but we don't see them very often in the midwest or on the east coast. Not really sure why that is, it's just something we've noticed. I'll leave a link to a video from Bob Harris talking about concrete tampers.

Thanks for the comment! The technique in this video would still work on a larger scale, you would just need longer screed board. If you work from center out to edge in the short direction, you could do this with an 8' board. It'll be tough to do that size of an area seamlessly, and it will require mutable batches of the mix. The best thing would be to treat this as a two step process. The first step would be creating the slope and it probably won't look that great at this point. Once you have the slope the way you want it, you could apply a thinner overlay to make it look good. I'll leave a link to our video on broomed overlay below.

Thanks for the comment! This was done before the slab was sealed. Doing this on top of sealer will work, but won't last as long. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment! If you have a floor with high moisture and want to apply a concrete floor coating, you can try a few things. First, try figure out what's causing the problem. Concrete floors generally hang between 3-5 percent moisture, if the floor is testing higher than that, there's usually a reason for it. Most of the time, it's a drainage issue under or around the slab. Once the problem is fixed, the moisture content should go back down. If the problem can't located or fixed, we do have a moisture shield primer that will help. However, the primer can only do some much and you may have to consider a more breathable option like a concrete overlay and acrylic sealer. The Moisture Shield primer works well on floors with moisture content between 5-6 percent. I'll leave a link the product page on website. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!! www.deco-cretesupply.com/products/coatings-liquid-metals-poly-armour/moisture-shield

Thanks for the comment! Sounds like a good plan for solving the problem. The longest-lasting option would be a concrete floor coating, but that would require diamond grinding the surface of the existing floor, and most floor coating would need to be mixed (A&B). An acrylic concrete sealer would be the next option to consider. Acrylic sealers can be applied to the concrete without any grinding as long as there's no other sealer, paint, glue, or any other membrane already on the surface. Acrylic sealers are single component with no A or B to mix together. As with any concrete sealer, there is always the chance that it would need to be re-applied at some point down the road, although interior applications generally last quite a few years. I would recommend our Super Stamp Seal for this particular project, but D-One sealer would also be a good choice. I'll leave a link to some other videos about concrete coatings & acrylic sealers. Hopefully, this helps!
