So it looks like someone pourd globs of paint on there. Worse than the original pebbles.. If I were the homeowner, this is what I would do if you want cool deck over exposed agrigate that you want to keep. Rent a concrete sanding machine like the professional coating guys use and sand that concrete as flat and as smooth as possible. Then apply knock down texture. Then apply cool deck. Dont apply cool deck on top of that pebble because its looks extremely amateur and sloppy. In the end with the sanding process, it will look just like or almost like a regular concrete deck with texture cool deck.

Getting ready to pour a new concrete deck around our pool. We would like to do a roll slate 2' border. Will the Cool coating work with this or is it too thick and will fill in all the impressions so that we don't see the slate look anymore ?

What would you recommend for 1/2" wide gaps where I removed broken /incomplete plastic expansion joints. Caulking before or after applying COOL!?

I am amazed by how much better the deck looked after simply cleaning it!

Excellent presentation!!

Ugly idea.

How long does this keep it's new install look? Sealers out here in hot Nor Cal start turning white and look terrible after a couple or few years. Will this installation process work on stamped concrete? How much cooler does your concrete really get?

I live in Chattanooga Tn. Do y’all service the area’s?

I sure wish this would have addressed how to deal with loose pebbles. What is the prep process to ensure the loose pebbles don’t create the same results as powder?

What type of tape did you use to tape the plastic on inside the pool

What to do with the old deck that's chipping? Roll over the top ir have to remove it etc? Great video!

This product is not effective! Not EPA regulated. Do not purchase.

Can I use the porch & Patio floor paint by Berh? It's a low luster, 100% acrylic Latex. I've been having a hard time finding the paints specified in the bucket mix flyer. Thank you for your help!!!

I am interested in this product, for around the pool, what do you recommend if i currently have stamped concrete! Thanks!.

Can you do this to pavers? They are extremely hot and there is absolutely no tree coverage. I would love to use this to knock down the heat.

COOL! is nearly foolproof. I just coated my decades old concrete pool deck with exceptional results. This is one of the biggest bargains of any home improvement project you will find. Just follow the steps in the video and you can't go wrong. Email them with any question. They have the best customer service of any company. We recommend COOL! to anyone!

lololol, me and 2 others are doing a HUGE pool deck 200ft of side walk, 3 sets of three stairs with stone on them, around a million dollar pool house, and all of it is broken up into multi sized squares with stone inlays.. we have 24 five gallon mixings of the stuff with white paint.. we finished cleaner and power washing today. we might have sprayed a rock or 2 but i think we are going to seal the entire deck, rock and pool deck..this deck is in a place that will see 3 to 5 months with snow on it and will not see the sun for that time...

You mentioned dusty concrete. Is it ok to apply this coating to dusty concrete to help with the dust or are we doomed with bad concrete?

Might be a dumb question but..... we've had rainy days on super hot days here in TX. It's hot then it rain hard for like 30m and then the sun again..... can I apply on a rainy day? And or once washed then it rains do I start the process all over again? Should I wait for sunny days? Hot and cloudy days don't work? Sorry for the many questions. TIA!

So my pool deck is currently painted but flaking very badly and needs repainted. What’s the best way to do this?

I don't get it. Your video actually has an old, exposed aggregate concrete parking lot where you filmed it. Why didn't to use that surface for your demonstration? Like others have offered, my 1974 pool deck looks exactly like your clip art, and I think it's time you provided a real-world demonstration. I can't use this product unless I see it being applied to a real-world example.

I am more interested in how the design was painted on the deck. What do I need to know?

How long have to wait between coats? With a 80 degrees. Thanks

What if you’re deck is already painted

Just finished a large pool and firepit deck area and could not be more pleased. The videos are amazingly helpful- watch them thoroughly, and follow the simple step process, and you will not be disappointed. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Hard work? Yes, but gratifying and well worth it. Also, kudos to Jeff for being so helpful and available whenever I had questions.

How long does the temp need to be 82 or below after you paint? If I paint in the morning at 80 and by noon its 95, that ok?

How long will a mixed batch of this last, say I can only paint half my project and then finish a week later with the other half, will the sealed bucket of mixed Cool still be good to work with?

How do you go about mixing the 1 gallon of paint for color to the 5 gallons? Do you do it all at once to keep it even and so you need at least a 6 gallon bucket? what is the process?

Will the product fill small cracks in the concrete

Couldn't you just pour it for a completely smooth finish?

Thank you for sharing this. I have an outdated aggregate pebble deck. I want to apply cool crete over it.

Can this be put on driveways?

Hi Jeff! Thanks for this video. I’m located in Tucson. My kooldeck is in decent shape, it’s an ugly color though and I want to coat it with your product. I did the tap test and it all seems to be structurally sound. There are a couple of minor areas that need patched. What is the best way to do that? Do you have any recommendations for me for products or sources?

You talk toooooo much.get to the point

Can I apply this to a previously painted knockdown texture deck? I got the deck wet and water doesnt dry

Can this be used on a regular aggregate pathway?

Well I will find it and make a purchase

Hideous look. Slapping lip[stick on a pig does not make it a model.

Has anyone ever used this to paint a stucco house? I'm looking to reflect as much uv as possible to reduce air conditioning cost

Will this work over exposed aggregate concrete? I’m assuming a couple of coats? Just work it’ll crack.

I’m grinding off knockdown to bare concrete before applying Cool. Some areas grind down easily other areas do not. Is there a trick to getting the knockdown off in stubborn areas? Will Cool adhere if there is a thin layer of knockdown left behind and if so will it show through after applying Cool?

I'm trying to understand how this saves money, as I would like to use this for my 5500 sq ft aggragete driveway. This is what I have gathered so far. For the job shown for this video, it took 64 units (buckets) of Cool Coating @ $250 a bucket at Lowes = $16,000. Additionally, you need to buy a 1 gallon bucket of paint for each Cool Coat unit, so in the example for this video, another 64 gallons of paint, 64 gallons of paint @ $30 a gallon = $1,920. I don't know what the customer paid for labor, but we're at $18,000 for just the material before all other things considered with labor and additional material. I have received quotes to resurface my 5500 sq ft driveway in the range of $25,000-$30,000. IMO, I would rather pay a little more to have it fully resurfaced correctly than to paint over aggregate. Please let me know what I'm missing here, as I would like to use this product if suitable for my job. Thank you for any feedback!

Can you paint this over a painted surface that is aggregate

I like the stonework better. Make a clear epoxy that can be applied to the surface that makes it less sharp and cooler but retains the color of the stones. I think using a clear epoxy on top very thick would make it cooler and less sharp but keep the cool pebble pattern on there. I know you think it is dated but it really isn't. Those types of surfaces like exposed aggregate are timeless when done correctly.

What if you have the first 2 layers down and it rains what does it look like? Do I need to need to to wait longer before I seal? I know I have to wait until it’s completely dry before applying the sealer coats.

i have a colored faded salt finish deck will this work over it?

how long does this last on a deck that you always hae water with chlorine splashing on? and can you touch up later with no prep just brush on or does the colar fade over time?

Very informative video. I am in the decorative concrete line of work and was looking for instructions like this. We have a job coming up in a few weeks using this application. I will be calling you about the products and the application process. Thanks.

If I’m done with the first coat and I wanted to switch colors is that possible to do on the 2nd coat?
