Great info, thank you. I hope to be adding overlays to our company next season and would like to attend one of your trainings, as well as chat more about products. Thanks guys!
Thank you for the comment, Frank👊 We'd love to have you attend one of our trainings!!! Our concrete overlay class will be sometime next Feb, we'll have the 2024 training schedule published on our website by the end of November. In the meantime, I'd be happy to chat anytime you want! Send me an email & I'll give you a call jeff@deco-cretesupply.com Thanks again for being a loyal supporter of our channel👍 www.deco-cretesupply.com/trainings
Do you have any suggestions or videos for resurfacers that delaminate even after following the directions... I used Quikrete Recap, and it's been junk. I have all of the photos of the project. They say to not use a primer. I tried it both ways with the same results. Thanks for any help. Btw, your product seems to go down thicker like general Portland and sand.
Thanks for the comment! The best way to handle a failing overlay would be to completely remove it and start over. A grinder with a diamond cup wheel would the fastest way of doing this. Once you're back down to bare concrete, the next step would be a thorough power wash. We offer a few different overlay mixes, some are designed to go thicker than others. Our Trowel Overlay would be a similar consistency to the stuff you were using, it can applied from 1/16" - 1/4" and can be finished in verity of ways. Our Stamp Overlay can be applied up to 1/2" and is designed to be stamped just like fresh concrete. We recommend to always use our Sure Bond primer before applying any of our overlay products. I'll leave a few links to these products below. Hopefully, this helps.

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.

That was a textured joint strip. They work great for seamless texture overlays! I'll leave a link to the full video below. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!! th-cam.com/video/yMbDrVfgoDY/w-d-xo.html
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!!! th-cam.com/video/ttIRdTJ6KDY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/uVF5gTI2t_k/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/qIEfPZC_1pI/w-d-xo.html
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!!!
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!!! www.deco-cretesupply.com/products/overlay-mixes/deco-crete-stamp-overlay-mix
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!!
Thanks for the comment! We offer a few different overlay mixes. It just depends what you're looking for in the final finish. Our Stamp Overlay is designed to be stamped or texture with stamped concrete tools. The thinner mixes are great for hand-textures, spray down finishes, broom textures and trowel finishes. I'll leave a few links to some other videos and one for the overlay page on our website.

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!!

Yep!
👍🍻
Love it
Thanks👍
Liked and subbed.
Thank you!!!👍
Is the overlay going to crack over a crack already
There's always a chance of that happening. Repairing the the crack will help, but there's no guarantees.
@DecoCreteTV if I repair the cracks if I repair the cracks I live in eastern North Carolina we don't get severe weather and put more sockets on the top shortcuts can you repair job would that work is very few in it now and it's very old
