I dispatch Volumetric Mobile Mix Trucks in Oregon USA, and never seen how they do a Exposed Agg Slab... I am learning something new every day.. Thanks

[@Holmesy89]

Always wondered if exposed agg was a thing state side. Is it popular?

[@lekitupou916]

Thanks! I needed to watch this. I'm still learning the process of how to use the tools right💯👍

[@billbradleymusic]

Great explanation as well!

[@anthonyhayes5263]

The septics should watch this,good job fellas 👌

[@anastasios3006]

Great job - I'm just wondering what your ratio of aggregate to sand to cement was ? I'm sure you guys didn't seed the pebbles in.

[@amieltuteanu5041]

Very nice finished and good skills.

[@vrods4lifenewzealand417]

I get the mud in a 9ish then I'm using the blaster a 3ish flag the hose lol takes forever but nice work lads 👌🏻

[@seanbrooks9702]

What a talkative boss

[@solidasconcrete]

Cause a laborer he's paying is videoung and talking all day . He's the only one working

[@landonmorel3715]

love the videos but can’t understand a word he says….need a detailed video explaining how to do exposed concrete

[@stoneworx09]

where do you hide the beers :) love your work mate

[@hansinteriordesignservices9470]

very nice work

[@scottishdrone9644]

What is the percentage of stone to sand for exposed concrete cheers

[@TV-pg3kn]

Nice🎉

[@davidrivera8634]

3 hrs from start of pour to start of wash! Wow. Out here in Houston, TX it would take 6 hrs before we could even think about stepping on it. So we end up using products like TopCast and washing it the next day.

[@concreteninja]

David Rivera it happened pretty quick over here it usually takes us around six hours to put it in finished yet and then wash it off 👍

[@samtaylor3860]

What did you use for the joins I can see when your washing off? Are they the mastic strips you put in?

[@thecourtyardsydney614]

The light coloured expansion joints you show in the driveway what material are they and how do they stay in place during the pour at the set finished height?

[@lesblase3667]

Magic 😉

[@landonmorel3715]

so in this video i did NOT learn when to expose the concrete…..

[@Surf62]

Is the stone exposed stone the aggregate or did you seed the wet concrete with the this small stone?

[@benjaminszczurowski9453]

Hi! Love your videos. We had our drive way done about a year ago, the concreter left the acid on too long and used undiluted acid on our exposed aggregate. It came up brown instead of the grey tint and some of the white stones turned yellow! Do you have any ideas on how to rectify? I can't seem to find anything on line.

[@1mp8kt67]

Stain it

[@hendrikkruk7268]

We have to be low key any time we are doing the salt or sugar some builders are a bit funny, pay concreters just to tell them how to do it 😂

[@royalafricanbeer1982]

After smothering the top I saw u spray something on top was that water that u sprayed on top .and also after spraying that thing on top how long do u have to wait before u wash the cement off

[@Drewdayz2419]

I like that color

[@acholitelevision3876]

After how long are you suppose to wash it

[@concreteninja]

Acholi Television When you feel the stones and they are hard and not moving at all you can wash it off

[@victorperrin5891]

Not much verbalization of your process to describe what you are doing and why.

[@toddhitchcock6437]

What's the ration of sugar to water you use to prep the surface for being sprayed?

[@Tom-yb6sl]

20 litres to 1 kg of sugar

[@raymondkarkoff6577]

That looks fuckingawesome!!!

[@27voices]

Short shorts and flip flops. only in Australia. in the US it's nothing but jeans and work boots

[@cactusdill-dos2579]

Man that kid can flip!!!, Stoked the rain stayed away, solid mq2 area...Take it you where using that pump for the wash off that you used for the Rogusol?? I would like to know what pump that is? Or Bundy has the best water pressure in Australia!! Keep the vids coming!

[@concreteninja]

Cactus Dill-Dos yes that kid is crazy . And that little pump is very old and it does make the water pressure a lot better . . I will try and find out what company it is . Thanks for watching bro 👊

[@arobyte]

Concrete ninja Great video as usual! Will also love some info on that pump! Thanks! How long you leave the sugar on before washing off on average?

[@cactusdill-dos2579]

@@concreteninja Ha, the pump did look as old as the hills, even the brand would be dope! And yes, when I'm in Bundy I still wanna skate your backyard!

[@concreteninja]

arobyte Depends how hot the day that’s all about the concrete getting hard

[@concreteninja]

Cactus Dill-Dos sounds good mate and I’m so sorry the Honda motor

[@trademarkoutdoorservices2363]

How much sugar you use

[@mn7568]

Nice pour

[@harley1215davidson]

Is that plain water you sprayed on it before the final hosing it off?

[@Tom-yb6sl]

20 LITRES WATER TO 1 KG OF SUGAR. He said it in previous videos

[@Dragontailwelshponies]

How do you join the 2 sections of concrete?

[@mellowjama331]

Do you have whole process?

[@nick50]

Is it regular sugar you use

[@Tom-yb6sl]

leave a link to find those shades youre wearing haha

[@lexiecrewther7038]

So what's the answer?

[@trixieking7122]

good day I attempted a diy on my front walk way ,but the stone have come loose , can you give any info as to why that happen.

[@paulyd1110]

Do you need to wash the stones to make sure they don’t have any dirt or dust? That is what I heard someone say in another video.

[@Johnny_pisteo]

Whats the sugar mixture ratio, 1 lbs per gallon, 2 lbs per gallon?

[@Tom-yb6sl]

20 litres of water to 1 kg of sugar

[@curtislovering3522]

Thanks for the great video’s. Nice work Do you use rapid set concrete? Cheers Curt 👍😃 France 🇫🇷

[@manycela6962]

Hi what type of stone are you using for concrete finishing

[@Tom-yb6sl]

3/8" pea stone

[@WillyBouy]

A contradiction in safety. OSHA would love this video. Lowering a hardhat wearing man into an un-shored column hole. Just a roll of the dice. N0?

[@anthonyhernandez2396]

Osha is for women

[@antonioochoa4833]

Question guys I'm in Arizona USA and I'm about to do some of this

[@jrmedjrmed633]

What’s the question ? 🤣

[@niczoom]

Looks great!

[@ashrevlution3456]

Do you guys not insert controlled crack joints in your concrete work?

[@prizekennelsaustralia9687]

Not on exposed

[@davidfalconer6623]

Why not

[@antonioochoa4833]

Question guys I'm in Arizona USA and I'm about to do some work like this in my house. So how much sugar is per Gallon of water or I'm going to pour 10 yards of concrete so how much sugar I need to add? Pls someone answer

[@concreteninja]

Antonio Ochoa Do you want to put 1 kg of sugar with 10 L of water

[@antonioochoa4833]

ninja thanks a lot . It's about a pound n quarter per Gallon of water so about 1 to 1 ratio.. appreciate ur help homeboy

[@antonioochoa4833]

@@concreteninja also how much area those 10L covers? Do u soak it or just a medium mist?

[@concreteninja]

Antonio Ochoa Just put a good layer over it where it would sink into the concrete a little tiny bit .

[@antonioochoa4833]

ninja for how long?

[@Lotonenko]

I think you missed crack control lines. or was it intention to do so?

[@Lotonenko]

Oh I can see you got them, could not see them from the first time. what is that? Is it Aluminum or plast?

[@Lotonenko]

So at 8.30 you finished pouring and at 11-11:30 you begin to wash it correct? So it is like 3 hours let it stay and ready to wash ?

[@israelrhondaenriquezgarcia9526]

Is there any way that I could get your email so that I can ask you a question?

[@stephensharma4994]

hi Ninja what s the reason for the sugaring ??

[@Tom-yb6sl]

stops the top layer of cement from curing or hardening

[@billbradleymusic]

That was a really stupid thing to put in the beginning of the video.

[@martinayers7209]

You didnt answer or show anything talked alot in code but i didnt see you doing anything but clowning and trying to teach movie directing class 101 i flunked real salty and rocky

[@nathanpratt4576]

How come you don’t have any expansion joints cut into your slabs.

[@kurtfrancis4621]

They do provide expansion joints. Look closely at the thin aluminum strips they install at approx. every 3m. They are there. Actually, a lot less mess than going back in and sawing the concrete afterward.

[@Golfr2020]

Why the F word? Do you really need it?

[@ashleighellen]

Nice

[@ashleighellen]

Hey mate how you going

[@hansinteriordesignservices9470]

very nice work
