beautiful job but not so instructional. I wanted to see how you mixed up the epoxy to the pebbles etc. However the prep work was pretty well explained. Thanks
Except they didn't prime the concrete with epoxy, which creates a mechanical bond to the concrete. Instead of the mortar being saturated in a resin that is also bonding to the concrete, the epoxy/pebble mortar is just sitting on top of the concrete, save a few areas where the resin actually impregnates into the concrete. Which isn't going to happen without priming because the pebble tech mix is a dry one, so you can trowel it much easier than a wet mix.
Mr schwifty The epoxy breaks down in the sun the pebbles start to come out and eventually it falls apart unless you repeatedly re-coat it every 3 to 5 years with more epoxy which is not cheap then you could make it last up to 20 years or more and if you do not saw cut the expansion joints it will definitely break their overtime that little mesh and black mastic will not hold Concrete from moving at joints
Have a hose in Florida this is the finish on the driveway and pool deck. I am looking for ways to improve the look. IF the stones were white and gray it would look great but brown, not for me. How would I remove this product ?
Can this product installed to refinish a existing small in ground concrete/plaster pool/hot tub ? Will the product stay on the pool wall after troweling? Is the product affected by water, pressure and high temperature?
where is your supplier in England? i have been living in Florida for a while doing this and will be moving back to Sussex before the end of the year and am looking to carry it on if the market for it is there, mostly commercial work i think though:-)
It sure looks nice but with such a thin application durability must be low. Hot tires, cars standing on it for hours, yard tractors driving over it, all must tear that up real easy...I need more convincing before I would even consider it!
I have this in my driveway and it needs repairing badly! I need a video how to do that. We shovel snow in the winter and the apoxy has apparently has degraded and, along with washing vehicles and having a huge dumpster on it (from a roof repair), it is trashed. I wonder how much it would take to replace it with stamped concrete or something? This is great on my covered patio, but NEVER put this product on a driveway!
@@joshuabutton3338 All that heating then cooling with heated floor promotes cracking and phase seperation. These products are no where as durable as you think. And so expensive!
+woolly65 - I was asking myself the same question. I'm in Grapevine across from the Nash Historic Farm and this would be a big improvement over what I currently have.
This is the point, csmera man talk and film but he don’t know nothing about hand work, so he just siad, but he no do nothing, hispanic people are the masters
Don’t buy it. Biggest mistake of my life. Wasn’t told I’d have to have it cleaned and resealed every 2 years, more if it get a lot of sun. Hard to find someone to do it. The company I used St. Louis Resurfacing stop doing maintenance after 2 years.and other companies won’t do it. They say they want to remain available for their customers.
that was a complete waste of money on that partiular house. why not have it go all the way? i mean does pebble stone hide oil leaks well or soemthing? why in the hell did they spend that much money for just that area... a fool and his money are soon seperated
This stuff was common in the 60's and even in the 70's with very poor epoxy base that was not durable. Is the epoxy base better to prevent loose pebbles and peeling? I used to have a house with a pool skimmer full of loose pebbles from a pool deck. I am asking after seeing how durable it was on one of the Los Angeles frozen yogurt place called "Pinkberry".
Guys are using Polyurea now. Epoxy gets damaged by UV. Polyurea is stronger, more elastic and has better UV resistance. The negative is that it is more expensive.
J. Kim: It is rough when you buy a home/house: One has to buy a lot of silly things and do a lot of silly things. Even to the point of tossing bread (money) on the ground! Even in the apartment projects one doesn't need to do this. I'd rather take the chance of their painting me red, than to paint the ground green!
