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.

@encorecoatingsuniversity32033 ай бұрын
Our sealer won’t become white unless it gets wet before it cures . Our sealer needs to be re/applied every two years. This will work for stamped concrete but any existing sealers MUST be stripped beforehand using a sealer stripper / remover. Then begin our protocol. COOL! Will not eliminate the stamp’s contours. If heat reduction is the priority, choose color accordingly and you’ll have good results! Thank you!!!

@encorecoatingsuniversity32034 ай бұрын
Stamped concrete needs to be “stripped” first. Using a “sealer stripper/remover” product. Very easy to find these. Follow directions! After the sealer is stripped, now begin our 3 step process - triple crown, two coats of COOL, 2 thin coats of sealer. You MUST make sure the clear sealer is removed from the stamped completely. It is ALWAYS sealed during initial installation and often sealed over the years to maintain it. These sealers, although you may not see them as much as you used to, can interfere with ANY water based coatings you may consider. THANKS !!!! 🤟🙏 (888)776-2242

@encorecoatingsuniversity32035 ай бұрын
It can rain after the deck is cleaned . Cool should be applied in the early morning during summer months onto clean, dry, strong, residue-free surfaces. It can rain on the cool if it’s had a few hours to dry. You can wait several days to apply 2nd coat of cool if need be. Apply Sealback clear sealer with at least 18 hours no rainfall in the forecast. If sealer gets rained on too soon, it’ll “blush” and turn milky white.

Sanded grout, made by “PolyBlend” is a great choice for patching old knockdowns! Replicating the texture is the tricky part. Use a hopper gun, or a dash brush to glob / shoot it on there, then “knock it down” using a trowel to achieve the knockdown texture. Experiment on cardboard first before moving to the deck.
