Hi my concete at my store

[@Blue1Sapphire]

Just a query. How do u stop mould growing on a concrete surface. Not how to clean it, as I have a pressure cleaner, but how to prevent it growing in the first instance. Its a shady area that is the problem.

[@lisab3396]

@@Blue1Sapphire Simplest and cheapest method is 50/50 bleach. Mixed in a wide bucket and use a 12" wide very soft poly brittle broom like a boat deck brush. Dip the brush in the bleach, shake the brush to drop the excess into the bucket and then gently scrub the concrete. Don't get it on anything that you don't want to damage. >>> Like your nice grass lawn! Do this cleaning on a very cloudy day or at sun up before it gets too hot. You can go back and redo a scrub as you need. The first scrub and let sit will assure the mold will die and clean up. The second pass will assure a nice even clean concrete. Take your garden hose and wash down the concrete thoroughly!! Once dry, you can use a concrete sealer if you wish! Have fun, Cheers

[@Blue1Sapphire]

@@lisab3396 how about just using straight cement mixed with water and spreading it over the concrete surface. Cement is alkaline I believe and so should prevent mould growing.

[@lisab3396]

@@Blue1Sapphire Wasting your time with that approach! Mold will not be fully removed and will return.

As someone with over forty years in the concrete business, I cringe every time I see a video of guys working with cement products while wearing shorts. Cement burns are a real thing. Also when pouring dry cement a face mask should be worn to protect against silica dust.

I did the same thing on a many of drive ways and it worked always, however i used bond to existing concrete chemical spray to open the pours of the concrete and “ versa bond tile mortar” don’t mix with water, mix with concrete bonding adhesive only, add a little play sand and spread; the adhesion is amazing, remember to pre-set the ground after through cleaning 🧹 with a concrete bonding adhesive, the same way they apply water in this video. My way requires speed and know how, cuz the versa bond and adhesives dry fast which is good for strong 💪 curing/bonding to the already set concrete. ( something like the quick bonding in “ easy sand 5 min plaster- which is amazing too for drywall. All the methods that they used in the video with the exception of the product. Are correct. I just use a different product but the methods are the same, Great job Even in my mixing of the “versa bond mortar “ I use ( bond to existing concrete adhesive in my mix, 🙅🏾not the same as in this video “ remember” the secret is the (coats ) Do not try to get long term beauty in one coat 🤦🏼‍♂️ add up to three layers depending on the current condition of the concrete. This is only a “ skim coating “ process. * if you’re concrete project has more then 1/2” of damage. *Do Not attempt this process. *There’s another process for more than 1/2”damage resurfacing repair.

[@donb3084]

Did a reseal to a smaller section of driveway sidewalk with $10 pail of quickcrete a few years ago. Removed the loose stuff with a broom, hosed it down and mixed material to soupy texture. Used a hand trowel to spread and finished with a seven inch asphalt brush. One coat has lasted three years. A down and dirty option compared to this time consuming effort. It looks fine, not close to the final outcome here but it is just a sidewalk.

[@MrSemorevideo]

Hi there. Thank you so much for the informative video. I was just wondering, the concrete in my garage is chipping similar to the sidewalk shown at the beginning of the video.

[@frankdutton8448]

One thing I see with trades cleaning concrete or any other surface with a pressure washer is just using the various standard spray nozzles. I use a floor cleaner on the pressure washer. There are many benefits. The main two are, the reduced time which can increase profits and a better cleaned surface after. Then, clean the concrete surface with the nozzle.

[@jasonclark2626]

TAPE - You may want to try using Gaffer's tape. It sticks really well and does not leave a residue.

[@LeggariProducts]

[@gregoryalaimo8341]

The video was great - and very professionally done. You guys did an excellent job overall (narration, material application, thorough description of the tools used at each stage of the process)...and the end-result looks great! Pressure washing, taping at least twice, 3 coats of product, followed by 3 coats of sealer, and the requisite drying times between each coat. Plus, the labor component of at least two (and possibly three) people...in addition to the cost of the materials themselves. I couldn't help but to wonder about a cost-comparison between resurfacing that same area - and the cost of breaking out and replacing the concrete. Have you created a cost-comparison? As for myself, my motivation for carefully watching the entire video, was because the concrete in my 3-car garage (from the garage door...progressing two feet inward) is severely eroded and pock-marked due to road salt and slush that melted and fell from the vehicles (in Michigan). So, I'm evaluating my options to deal with this very pitted surface. How does your product hold-up in northern winter conditions? Will it maintain adhesion, or spall and delaminate? Once, again - great job, and great video!

[@itbarthur4u]

So true! Huge difference between living in the frozen north and living in points south. Then again I don't have to deal with hurricanes and earthquakes.

It seems doable. You make it look so easy. But I'll need to do four 6'x10' slabs of driveway. But some parts of those slabs have cracked and fallen down, up to an inch or two below the driveway. Does this system level everything out, or does that situation require more intensive repair methods?

[@lisat9707]

For that kind of slab movement you have massive underlying issues under that slab. Look at where your downspouts are draining and check to make sure it's finally settled and not moving more. Once it's stable that's when you can look at options to resurface it. Concrete levelling grinding and filling followed by a epoxy finish would be an idea. I'm curious to know if this method works in areas where temps are expressly cold and how well ice may stick to it

[@kennykoizee208]

We had the whole driveway redone professionally. @@lisat9707

[@ragnocroft]

One guy said just use Quikcreate but in my experience and if you live in areas like Utah where snow gets everywhere, I have seen people here using Quikrete and they have to repeat themselves all over every summer or two, literally. I have also seen other people using similar solutions like this and they typically last 10+ years. I'm sold!

[@Samestori214]

Thanks for the video. We all need to understand that the concrete overlay is the cosmetic part of the process not the structural part. So with any cosmetics the process will wear out and need to be redone. Just like cosmetics for people they wear out over time, weather and other things. So will this process.

[@JeanLynch-nb1ow]

Can I use this same method around a pool on the cement apron? Can I do the first layer at night and then start again in the morning? How long so you need to wait between layers?

[@jeffhallel8211]

A tip for using a sprayer; Be sure that the sprayer has a pressure relief valve. Normal valve will open at approx 40 lbs. Take an auto or bicycle tire valve stem, drill a hole to accomodate the valve stem,put the valve stem inside the sprayer and pull through the hole.The hole should be toward the top of the sprayer above the liquid level. Set an air compressor at 30-35 lbs and fill.

[@stanleykeith6969]

I did this to my sprayer a couple of years ago. It's a good tip.

[@LeggariProducts]

Great advice! Thank you! Also, MUCH cheaper than buying a sprayer that has this feature.

@@LeggariProducts Also, remove the tape before it completely dries. Same concept when painting a car. Either the tape becomes too hard to remove or it will remove some of the material you laid down.

That’s a great idea! I’ve wished I could pump my sprayer with a compressor, but didn’t know how to make a valve that would work (one way). That’s great advice. Thanks.

I notice when you were power washing with water that you were washing from the street side up toward the garage door, which is sloped. If I were doing it I would start at the high side (up by the garage doors) and let the dirty water flow down toward the street. That way you would not be letting dirty water at the high side of the drive contaminate the clean surface which is lower. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Good job I must add.
