Fantastic video. Thanks for including the little details and bits of knowledge that might seem obvious to you guys, but us inexperienced folks know nothing about.
Love this look. I know it’s probably not complicated and looks easy, but I’m sure it’s not. This video simplified it for me. Going to let my crew watch it too. Thanks guys.
I absolutely love it!! You’ve helped me make my decision. I’m gonna have my concrete done just like!! we just built a new house a year ago, but we need the patio and sidewalks done around the house. Our house is a farmhouse style with Black tin roof white siding and rock so I think it’ll work real well. Thank you for the video!
Great explanation of the steps! The one thing I'd want you to elaborate on is the powder release agent. This was new to me, but it looks like it helps to refine the stamp details. Since its pigmented, do you need or want to acid stain over it?
The powder release comes in many pigments and adds an accent to the stamped concrete. We did not acid stain, so the final product is exactly what you get from the powder. You could acid stain if you want but it is not necessary
Thank you for demonstrating the process. The wood texture turned out great. I would probably choose to stain it to create a more natural wood tone finish but that’s just my personal taste.
Please add more details to your videos in future like the amount of sealer, its cost, common brands, the quick release powder used to give accents, the cement sand ratio etc.
The best brand to buy from is globmarble :) The sealer is called HS200 and has a coverage of 200-240 square feet per gallon globmarble.com/stamped-concrete-acrylic-sealer-hs-200.html And the release agent is tru-tique Charcoal globmarble.com/stamped-concrete-colored-powder-release-pail.html
Technically you can but it will look really bad. Every stamp was made from a different piece of wood to avoid repetition on the imprints. That and the molds are easier to use when they lock against each other
I absolutely love the wood stamped concrete. My question is, is it possible to stamp over a thin layer of concrete? I have a long patio and i have a huge wide deep crack that runs the entire length of my patio ( about 60 ft), I plan to fill in the crack and then pour a one inch layer of cement. Can I stamp that thin layer?
You can definitely do an overlay but not with regular concrete as the two coatings will never fully stick together. You can use surestamp instead, here is a detailed video on it- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0u0f5BWmz3o.html
Thanks! I usually use stain in all of my videos, check this one out- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0u0f5BWmz3o.html . My favorite is EcoStain, you apply a couple of hours before sealing. The tools and materials are all linked in the description of the video :)
Can you do this to a driveway as an overlay? I don’t want to tear up my existing cement driveway. Can I essentially add another layer to stamp the pattern into and will that be strong enough to drive on?
This overlay is specifically designed for what you are asking about- globmarble.com/surestamp-stamp-concrete-overlay.html you can watch my video on it here- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0u0f5BWmz3o.html
