      @@ike___love You can most def spray it off the same day, just wait extra long and bring a pressure washer if needed! Do not get on it early, it looks terrible if rocks pop. So yeah just wait extra long and spray it on a few times as u r waiting. Bring your pressure washer and a broom and maybe a wire brush. You will always be able to get the cream off. But you can never put rocks back on. Btw plz watch my premiere tonight at 8pm

    Those steps look realy good. I have no clue about what differrent floats there are. I know what the hand held and Bull Floats look like. Just not the names. My Granddad always did his own, and the Porch I am going to repair, was one he did 30 years ago. The front pourch is so smooth, when it rains, you have to be careful.
    I am nervous I'll mess it up, but I am taking your advice and ripping it out, and redoing it. I do know how to mix my own, just from helping my granddad. But, I am learning from your channel, how to actually work it. Thanks Bro! Keep up the great job, and please keep this helpfull Videos coming! I learn from watching, and your channel has really helped me.

    • @bus-fun-addict
      @bus-fun-addict 2 роки тому +2

      You need not use traditional expansion material along the building. In that case its only being used as a mechanical break between the slab and the building. You only need to keep the concrete from keying into the brick so the slab can move up and down. I use 5" rips of plasic laminate (such as formica). Works great and you dont even know its there. Your work looks great.

I didn't need it on this 1, but I do have another exposed agg video that I used a pressure washer on, ita a nice set of steps.
