Edmonton dealer trainer

feeds@yuku.com (Chad) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:45:31 GMT

Hey Guys, I'm looking for the contact info for the Edmonton, Alberta trainer/dealer. I believe his name is Darwin Holm. I can't get on the outlook exlporer on the main Elite Crete site for his email. Hoping to get some beginner training this winter in Alberta or B.C. But this time of year it seems to be hard to get a hold of the trainers. Any info would be great.

Thanks Chad

EC over Polyurethane Concrete Waterproofing?

feeds@yuku.com (realwunder) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:41:13 GMT

Need a little help with this one. Brand new construction of condos on the ocean in Florida, pool deck on 2nd floor, sealed with Tremco polyurethane waterproofing. The installer put about 30 percent coverage of silica beads. Now they want to finish with a spray coat or trowel down.
My question is will TF adhere? It seems to me that I probably need them to recoat the waterproofing and broadcast 100% coverage of silica beads. I need some experienced installers who have tackled this...

acid staining boarders

feeds@yuku.com (everlast) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:59:58 GMT

say you want a dark border and a lighter stain in the main floor, how would you achieve this easily. do you tape off the primary floor and stain border first? I 'am new to staining. can you put down the stain with a roller? or do you always spray it down?

Diamabrush for Floor Prep

feeds@yuku.com (krete) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:27:30 GMT

Been hearing alot about the diamabrush floor prep pads for floor machines, was wondering if anyone has been using them and what you think. I have spent my last dollar on 7" grinders and hour upon hours of grinding away mastics only to leave grinder marks that must be overlaid. Would like to know what people think before i spend more money only to learn that it not the right tool for the job. Thanks

Emerald Green HS

feeds@yuku.com (dtye) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:46:30 GMT

Never thought I would see the day when this job was completed. I initially started this floor back in June. GC had a heck of a time with the metal stairs the customer wanted. I agreed to come back and apply a couple coats of floor finish upon completion. The concrete walls are also sealed and finished. Color is Emerald Green reduced 2:1 over existing concrete. Pics just don't do it justice. Customer is a doctor here in St Louis and is originally from Brazil. He wanted the basement...

css over wcs

feeds@yuku.com (Braceman) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:52:30 GMT

I have a chocolate mf with black chemstone overlay with 2 coats of wcs on it. The owner was wondering if I can make it darker because they do not like the muted tones now. They did on the sample, though. Will I be able to go over that with css 2:1? Will I have to worry about compatibility of sealers? And will it bring the darker tones back? I making my own samples as I type this but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
