Do you have a video explaining how to level a concrete surface? For instance if a driveway falls away (around 1/2 to 3/4 downward) next to a step. Is this task possible without getting cracks later?
Thanks for the comment! We don't have any videos on that, but there are concrete leveling companies that offer this as a service. A-1 Concrete Leveling is a nation franchise with branches in quite a few states. Most areas have local companies as well. If you Google "concrete leveling companies" you should find a few options. They will drill holes in the slab and pump foam or a slurry mix under the slab to raise it back up to the right height. I'll leave a link to video from FoamWorks that shows the process. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!!

Please tell me what product you are using to fill the pattern of a previously stamped concrete like you briefly commented on in this video. Do you by chance have a video explaining this process too.
Thanks for the comment! We not have a video on this exact process, but it's pretty straight forward. In most cases, our Stamp Overlay mix will work best for filling in an existing pattern. The prep work & priming are the same as any other overlay project. You can apply this coat with magic trowel, and it only needs to be thick enough to fill up the texture and grout lines. Once that first coat is dry, you can re-prime the surface & continue on with overlay just like normal. I'll leave a link to the Stamp Overlay page on our website. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!!

Yep!
👍🍻
What about doing a concrete overlay but doing a flagstone pattern would that work with your material?
Yes, a flagstone pattern would work fine with our Stamped Overlay. You could use pretty much any concrete stamp you want, you just have to adjust the thickness to the depth on the stamp. You could also do a flagstone pattern with grout tape & Trowel Overlay. I'll leave a few links to some other videos at the bottom. Thanks for watching!!! ua-cam.com/video/ttIRdTJ6KDY/v-deo.html

Hi, can we skip the primer for self leveling cement over tiles?
Thanks for the comment! We would not recommend skipping the primer for that! It's even more important when going over tile. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!
Can this go over indoor ceramic tile?
This would depend on what type of type of tile and overlay you are working with. Most overlays are designed to be applied directly to concrete. You can get overlays to bond pretty well to some types of tile, but it's hard to get rid of the grout lines and if the tile ever moves the overlay would come up with it . The best thing is to remove the tile first and get back down to the concrete. Thanks for watching!!!
