same as the difference between potato salad and mayonnaise.

This id definitely made to get veiws.

I love this channel! My real Dad passed two days ago and my father in law is dying. You definitely break the concrete between my two worlds. Thank you Sis!

Concete is the reactive substance (Portland cement) which functions as a bonding agent and concrete is cement, sand, aggregate and water.

Dude treating concrete like a kid making slime! 👍

.... i like his attitude. and, this is just a fun project, not retail. i like it, and was saying to myself..... "put some damned apoxy on it for shits-n-giggles.

My driveway is slopped, will self-leaving sealer still work on that?

I just found you with colored concertYes i subscribed

💙🩵💙

Like!

Okay, stupid question time.... I get that as a mix you would use Concrete on things like walkways, driveways and the like. But then what applications would you use cement only on?

😎✌🖖👌👍🤓

Great, simple, informative video! Saw a couple of the other comments on here! If you wanted, you could probably continue this little explainer series, and go into other things like making concrete stronger (rebar, fiberglass, etc.), what is mortar, etc., and even get into the physics aspects of concrete strength, etc., you know, if you wanted to go that route :)

Sorry the eggs are the water

Hi, i enjoy your videos, would love to know when possible to use cement only and also how would a cement only or motar dry pour workout?

1:00 Rule #1 about concrete is ... wear gloves and protective eyewear to prevent lye burns.🙄

I want some cake..

were is the follow up video, you promised a follow up video

Maybe a teensy bit more water?

Great explanation! Now what the heck is mortar? Does it have cement in it too?

So why use concrete over just the cement by itself? I'm going to assume it's stronger or last longer or something?

I'm in Michigan. Will you resurface my porch?

next video talk about additives and Flow Control (<-that stuff is magic)

I don't trust anyone who's not working in flip flops on concrete projects! Period!

I love the way you explain everything.

Hey man can you make a concrete pond ? Everyone says you shouldn't cuz cracks (no liner)

Glad you mentioned Ryobi, some of these tool warriors think expensive is the only way to get a job done. I'm sure this comment will trigger them 😂🤣😂

Still miss you at 2744.

Michael good video as always. The way i always explain it is that concrete is a homogeneous mix of sand and aggregates held together with a binder. In cement concrete the binder is cement, in coal tar concrete used for road construction, the binder is coal tar. Technically speaking, even a mix of sand, aggregates and epoxy will be an epoxy concrete

Informative and to the point. Love your videos.

Dad taught me this method about 1970. He was a Navy Seabee in WWII on Iwo Jima and elsewhere. He and my brother built a garage when my brother was just starting his excavation business and had no money. They used old bed springs from the dump as rebar. (They did not do dry pour for the garage.) The garage floor has not yet cracked after 40 years.

I love the border you made

I could feel all the moisture being sucked out of your hands

What is morter mix?

I was hoping you would talk about the fine silica used in some, such as Rapid Set Morter.

I remember seeing Jamaicans build a pier in Jamaica on the cheap because they could pull sand right off the beach and a bag of cement is cheap. I questioned whether is would be strong with the salt and other organics in the beach sand, but it was apparently "good enough".

Hi Michael! I've enjoyed many of your videos :) Have you made a pozzolana mix?

A cool follow up video could be to see what you end up with (appearance and structural stability) if you even out the ratios or invert them.

These vids would be way more "watchable" minus the over-hyped, comedic relief. Itz a put-on, and very likely doesn't reflect the "real" man at all.

Good day Michael, your vids are awesome. Your sense of humor is a 11! Would like to ask a question of you.... Cement board, can it be used plain (no tile or skim coat) as is, in a wet situation or does it need a treatment coat of some kind, ofc the seams need to be caulked I've been researching a particular style for years for my shower/bathroom dystopian style, yes there's coating kits and faux treatments but they're not right. I always end back at cement board is just perfect but i jus can't find the characteristics. Was wondering if you had any thoughts. Thank you for your time & thoughts.

You should also touch on mortar, being cement and just sand.

What will happen if you do not add stone to your mix?

Followed your direction, patched up the curb in front of my house and my neighbor's house and it looks great. Cement All is no joke quick curing so folks, this guy is spot on. It cures quickly and I mean like in 10 minutes and you're going to be hard pressed to work it. I'm a design engineer and if I can do this, you can too. Will be reporting back this time next year. Thanks again for the video!

Ok this makes sense now. So if I want a very smooth countertop I'd use cement with FRP rods or wire mesh?

Do you have anymore channels on youtube, I would love to watch them

Fun and timely! I'm going to a friends house today to make a bird bath. I'm not sure if we're using cement or concrete but at least now I'll know the difference!

They Looked Awesome!!! Its been a year. Have they held up ok? Any issues?

Too many ads

You did a really good job of explaining this. I usually just roll my eyes at people when they ask questions like that.

So, you only purchase cement if you are going to use it to make your own concrete mix. Correct?
