Roller Stamp Your Stamped Concrete Patio! (How To Rock & Roller)

#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete #rollerstampconcrete
This video shows us using a Rock & Roller stamp to stamp a concrete patio slab.
This is the first time Luke and I have had a chance to use the Rock & Roller from Marshalltown. It's an Ashlar Slate pattern roller stamp.
The patio slab is 24' x 21'. We're using colored concrete with a tinted liquid release.
We had to make sure we started using the roller stamp early enough so the concrete was still quite soft but not soft enough to sink it.
The video shows this process very good. We timed the starting process just right.

Started from wrong end first poured first stamped. Looks great, alot of work for two guys you made it look easy.

[@derek.castle]

should have backed your concrete truck in where the half ton is parked. run your bull float perpendicular to your screed pulls. Do longer pulls with your screed board. Spin your roller so the pattern is not the same as the previous pass. you finished rolling where you started placing, thats why its so hard at the end. should have started near the deck. might get better contrast with the powder release than the liquid but it is a lot messier. job looks good.

[@mattschoular8844]

Looks good. Thanks Mike. It will be nice to see the end result once the yard is finished up.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Yes it will

[@charlesviner1565]

👍the sound of the roller made my dog tilt his head 🐶LOL

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

haha, thats funny. u made me laugh today bro... thanks, wd 40

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I didn't realize it was so squeaky when I edited the video.

[@torquer9669]

YES I need a small stamped patio badly. Replacing an old deck. Looks great

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks

[@fearlesscheshirecat1411]

That looked like a really good mix. The last 2 trucks I got were absolutely horrendous. It was supposed to be a 5 inch slump and right out of the truck even adding water, it took 10+ passes with the bull float before it would close everything up…..there was so much rock in it it was absolutely horrendous. And that was 20 seconds after getting it out of the truck.

[@rangepro]

The color was great and so was the roller!!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks

[@jamespalladino9884]

I bought the seamless texture last year, I was a little bit intimidated for us to buy our first one and have it have to be kept straight like with cobblestone or asler so we started with seamless as it obviously does not matter, we used it on a couple patios, it’s only 24” but can cover some ground, like you said it is 110% all about timing but if you are good at what you do like you guys are and take your time, there really shouldn’t be any reason why you can’t keep it straight, gonna buy another pattern this year, total time saver, it looks great, good job as always mike👍

[@pascalgreaney3526]

HI Mike Very good job We screw a raised timber from screed to screed in the direction of roll pull the roller backwards only keeping the roller tight to the timber change the timber for each new roll it helps a lot

[@wegotthis2734]

I own a few of them but i only use the on sidewalk jobs or doing borders. I don't really care for the solid line it leaves at 3' wide but it definitely takes skill to do it like you guys did.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks

[@rongrose3746]

Looks great using the roller/stamper ! Pretty cool attachment !

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I think so too!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

luke is like, "why do i have to drag this mike?" good job on this vid bro. fast pace kinda (very smart) great thimbnail. btw this concrete niche is on its "A" GAME (when it comes to making videos)

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Appreciate it!

[@johnfahey7215]

Great Job! Never seen that technique before.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks John

[@Nate-xf6ns]

Great video. Enjoy your weekend Mike!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks 👍

[@santiagocastillo9867]

Seems like I would have started stamping on the area where I started pouring first. Just the way we do it tho. Looks good and you guys did a great job…!!!👍🏽

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

thats a nice roller, $$$$$

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Works good on an open slab like this.

[@frontlinediy1814]

Man that's a pretty cool tool. New tools are mostly always fun:)

[@anthonysteinebach4596]

Good job , well alot for 2 with the heat

[@jlawlar]

should have poured a pad for the pool pump, or was that the short video we got the other day ;) nice job, awesome looking

[@MikeDayConcrete]

We should have!

[@edstevens9357]

Another great lesson

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks again!

[@christopherw4527]

I'm glad you tried that thing. I've been paranoid to try one out. I doubt I could get the seams any better at the roller ends. I don't think a person could get the seams fixed up to where they could blend with a touch up wheel. Not me anyway.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

If the slab wasn't so wide then the seams are a lot easier to match up.

[@christopherw4527]

@@MikeDayConcrete Makes sense. I first considered trying one out on some sidewalk pours.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I think it would work good on sidewalks.

[@proconcretecoatings4916]

I always wondered why you didn’t use a roller, I had one about 13 years ago. A bit spendy but sure speed things up

[@juliahelland6488]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing this! 💯

[@cranksinatra7810]

Always been curious how well these work, thanks for demoing it!

[@BenBNC]

can we talk about the pros and cons of tinted liquid release vs. straight powder release

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I can on another video.

[@777cygnus]

I remember doing a Paving job for a guy invented the First. Aluminum roller. He was asking us how it would work ?and how to get. Texture When stamps where made outa metal ughh. Man I’m old. Lol he was from. Mo or KY ? Cool guy had $$ mighta been better. Heavier. Think filled em w water ?Looks good 😎👍

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks

[@treymann497]

Awesome good job

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Appreciate it!

[@engrsamsonkodjo7038]

Wow this is amazing boss

[@joer4595]

Looks great 👍

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thank you

[@notsofast5495]

Looks like you have to start the roller at specific place on each run also is that correct. It looks like you had the same size print squares along the starting edge also.

[@matthewbacken1785]

Hey Mike, I watched another stamping video and I wanted to know what that soft cut saw was.

[@stegen9008]

Can you come to sweden and make this for me 😅 take the roller with you 👍

[@MikeDayConcrete]

That would be a good business trip!

[@lukemorgan3855]

Nice job! Wondering, how come you don’t use a power screed on all jobs?

[@barryrohrmeier2399]

Mike did you pick up the bill for the concrete ? Great video as always 👍

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Haha, no, Luke did.

[@notsofast5495]

At the 4:40 mark so you guys have a board in the middle of the pour that Luke is running his end of the screed stop of?

[@josuemejia3797]

Hey Mike my name is Josue Mejia I do home renovation in Houston in the kingwood area, I’m a subscriber and i see your videos a lot. Something i would like to add to my work is stamping and the question is i would like to know the different ways to purchase your training stamping video. By the way I’m from Honduras. I do thank you for sharing your skills. I believe i can learn stamping just by looking at your videos but also i know if i get your training video i can get the knowledge to do it the right way.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

My stamp course is here: www.theconcreteunderground.com/offers/3hhjPXHx/checkout I also have The Concrete Underground. This is a monthly fee that includes the stamp course and a lot other training.

[@davidvuchetich3045]

Very cool

[@gregbenedict3253]

Not sure if you've tried prolines magnetic stamps. Can really fly on slabs like this.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I haven't, I'd like to try them though!

[@jacobchandler3443]

We always end up with the circles stamped in where the magnets are and my guys can’t line them up as well

[@steved.5628]

Looks awesome, what’s the next step? Seal it ?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Saw it, wash it, seal it.

[@bman6502]

How much time are you really saving vs the potential to have concrete set before you finish??? With stamps, if we get on it a bit late, we can increase pounding..

[@raulzamora8928]

I had to see the video twice. I think the roller was singing "rolling rolling rolling rawhide "

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I know, little squeaky.

[@sammydeleon7288]

Looks Good! How much time do you need between leveling the concrete to rolling the stamp roller?

[@Nick33779]

I think Id get call backs if I used a roller. Was thinking about trying a seamless one though, I dk

[@jcdiaz2xm]

Awesome job sir.. I have a few questions for you. 1) what kind of retardant did you use to keep that concrete from setting ? 2) what amount of retardant was used per yd?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

No retardant here. You can ask for some if you want to, low dose or regular dose, they put it in when they batch the load.

[@Eric-yl9mw]

@mikedayconcrete what about joints in a pad like this, how did you cut them in after stamping so they didn't look like.... Joints in concrete

[@hinoarchitectsdesigners9542]

Is the roller heavier?

[@ryanwright2527]

How much black pigment do you normally add to the release agent??

[@oby-1607]

Would be nice if you could add water inside this roller for more weight.

[@darrenminnick9168]

Hey Mike. Great videos! Thank you for the great advice. I was just wondering about cracks. Do you have any advice or techniques when trying to repair a crack in stamped concrete. Is there a a certain kind of material that works best for filling cracks or techniques to help blend it in with the texture of the stamped concrete.

[@joadojesus4997]

its available bro

[@joadojesus4997]

its cold shika

[@bmck-ss3zb]

How does that work if you are up against something? Like a pad against the house

[@MikeDayConcrete]

If you're rolling along the house, ok. If rolling towards the house, not so good, you'd have that small section with no imprint when you bump up against the house.

[@moisedia4930]

Hi! I need a stamped concrete, how can I get it

[@sergiosanchez-sj2tp]

Where did you buy the roller ?

[@onetruesoldiervt3686]

tip !!! you should give your guys shovels them come alongs arent as near as efficiant than a square shovel guys at work joke about them come alongs saying they are for landscaping the shovel is really great for tight areas but the come along i will say is ok to pull back if you have a big job 🎉🎉

[@MichaelMantion]

Why couldn't you get him on the pool side?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Looked like it worked pretty well. Good job

[@MikeDayConcrete]

It did, thanks. How's things in TX

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

@@MikeDayConcrete pumping along. Finally got some cooler temperatures for the mornings.

[@jeffmason6280]

Do you do tint in your release?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Yes, we do on some jobs. We did on this one. We put about a cup of charcoal powder release in 3 gallons of liquid.

[@apollorobb]

Damn thing is sure expensive for no more than there is to it lol. But it is cool

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I know, but it is a time saver and you can stamp with less people so saves on labor.

[@joadojesus4997]

hw can i getdat roller in uganda

[@twf5822]

How much does a stamp like that cost

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Marshalltown lists it for around $1600

[@Daniel-x1i8h]

That's the problem with the roller system you only get one chance!

[@waltk9067]

👍✌

[@trentcardwell8620]

Same pattern repeated not for me

[@josephrottina1901]

👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@johnds6621]

I like using mats better.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

This has a use, but not for every stamp job for sure!

[@paulbooij7594]

Pull it only, easier to see.

[@NB-cn9uk]

I would have just buggy it easier

[@derekbutts1782]

Mike, I'm a concrete business owner out of Ohio . I was learnt to do stamping with the powder release . I'm interested in how it's made or what the liquid release is . Seems to be a lot less of a mess. Teach an old dog new tricks eh ? Lol Are you literally adding the tint to a mineral spirits ? And just mixing with a drill or something

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Yes, we add about a cup or two of powder release into a 2.5 gallon sprayer of liquid release. Just shake it, and keep shaking it as you use it. Works great for us as you can see. Very little mess and washing the next day is a breeze.

[@FredD63]

Looks good Mike I’ve watch one other guy use a roller I’m sure you know who Tom is 🇺🇸👊🏼🪚🔨👊🏼✌🏼🇺🇸

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Nice, thanks Fred!
