How much pt1 should it take to fill a full depth (Random Stone) stamp? How many seperate applications? How many sq. ft. per gallon would you guess?

Thanks, Ed

Stamped overlay questions

feeds@yuku.com (committedconstruction) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:15:33 GMT

I have poured hundreds of yards of concrete with all different stamp finishes. I am new in the overlay industry and just went to a training and had a few questions. The mix seemed a little sticky and i wanted to know if you can lightly fog with water and maybe run a fresno or light walking/funny trowel over the surface to smoothen out your lines from the rakes? Also wanted to know from some experianced people on these stamped overlays, the samples we did seemed like the overlay stuck to...

not new to concrete or overlays but new to stamping conv concrete

feeds@yuku.com (aulli17) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:50:51 GMT

Had a buddy tell me he just wanted regular broom finish even though i offered to do the stamp at cost (rental, color, release, sealer) last wek. Well setting up for the pour this morning he decides he wants it stamped. After 15 phone calls I got everything I need but I have no idea what I am doing. I was hoping to research it a bit before the pour but alas when customer says jump i asked how high.
So 6bag, full air, integral color from butterfield (my elitecrete distributer is 2 hour...

release on sidewalk

feeds@yuku.com (datec) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:11:22 GMT

I just stamped a pad yesterday that also had a sidewalk I used red integural color with dark brown release. Some of the release had got on the sidewalk which had a broom finish, I had covered the walk with plastic but some had gotten under and instead if trying to rub and rebroom I left it alone because it was too set too rework. Is there a way anyone has came accross to remove the release from the walk or will it be perm. stained. I thought of diluting some muratic acid and scrubbing the...

best stamps on market?

feeds@yuku.com (S C DESIGNS 2) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 21:50:52 GMT

Who has the best full-depth conventional concrete stamps for sale? I see a lot of proline on internet, saw brickform at a store, have seen HQ brand. And can anyone tell me why increte sells their full depth stamps for 3k a set? Surely that can't be normal? They (increte) claim they are twice as thick and u can get out on the slab a lot quicker, also have a lifetime guarantee, does that justify price? How many stamps should a person have on hand when doing a job and how much should...

White mineral deposits on stamped, colored concrete

feeds@yuku.com (cieloazulconstruction) — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 23:20:40 GMT

What would be the process to clean up and eliminate the white mineral deposits left on the surface of a patio of stamped, colored, sealed concrete poured about a year ago?
The deposits come from sprinkler water that soaks a 2 - 3 ft edge of the patio.

Does Elite Crete make color hardeners?

stamping your average concrete

feeds@yuku.com (njperry1) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 08:05:17 GMT

Would it be a bad idea to try and pour a totally new walkway with normal concrete and try and stamp it using my elite crete tools? or should i just stick to the overlaying?

Help. My DH used a metal shovel on my stamped concrete!

feeds@yuku.com (irishaugust) — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 21:31:19 GMT

Anxious for a mid-february bbq, my DH decided he would be nice enough to dig out the grill. With a circa 1910 metal spade ("because the snowshovel wasn't working as well").

Did I mention it was a pointy-tip spade? Did I mention that I have red stop signs near the patio and front steps that say PLASTIC SHOVELS ONLY?

And so now, on our 4 year old stamped concrete patio, there looks to be the marks of an angry tyrannosaur pawing at our back door. Some of the gouges are...

Hi,

I plan to go to Elitecrete training in Portland in April. I also like to learn stamped concrete on freshly poured concrete. Is there a training course some where I could enrolled in, or it is the same with Elitecrete? Also, where do I buy those those molding for the stamped concrete?

Thanks for all the help.

Ultrastone for stamped concrete

feeds@yuku.com (Qualitycrete) — Thu, 30 Sep 2004 16:55:26 GMT

Called for a estimate today for a one year old stamp drive where the color is pretty much gone. They want me to put more color one it and I saw a picture of what it was when it was new.
I think ultrastone with some pcc will do it but will it stick good if I seal it good?
