🤙appreciate the feedback, awesome story about the 2 concrete lol sorry about your friend 🤙 and I hear the same it's all going to crack,, amazing yours lasted so long with our cracking 🔥

I poured a 10’ x 15’ slab 25 years ago. It’s the only concrete I have that hasn’t cracked. It’s the only concrete that I personally poured. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

@@techguy3507 🤙🤙🤙 awesome did you do anything special to it for strength or longevity?

@@DiyTheGrappler I didn’t think so. The slab has footings and I did a unipour, I poured the footings and the slab at the same time. When I purchased the concrete I was offered good, better, best. I picked best, I kinda remember it being 5, 6, or 7 bag. I floated it with a bull float (?) and used an edger all around and then brooomed it, but didn’t work it more than that. I don’t remember if it had rebar or not, I kind of think it did, but may be only in the footings. That was my first and only time pouring concrete.

@@techguy3507 thats awesome thanks for sharing 🤙

Thank you for the feedback!

No prob!!

🤙🤙🤙

Lol awesome 🤙 did you use rapid Set Mortar mix?

🤙🤙🤙

🔥🔥🔥 glad to hear that this information can help🙌💯💯💯💯💯

Did you ever resurface with the mortar? How did it turn out?

@@BudgetBassHead I did. It looked good until it didn’t. It cracked pretty fast. I’ve been meaning to give it another layer but mixed already.

Thanks for sharing your experience with dry and wet pour 🤙

🤙🤙🤙 thanks for the feedback!

Thank you 🤜🤛✊✊✊✊✊✊

Appreciate the feedback 🤙

Appreciate it!

Awesome good luck!🤙🤙🤙

Forsure you can 🤙🤙🤙I would go with a inch to half inch on top🤙 check out my last video about the post curing methods to gain strength for your dry pour 🤙

@@DiyTheGrappler just found this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f95_rb2Ypt7Pmas.html He topped it with mortar while it was dry. Looks good. I'll definitely go through your other vids. Also subbed. Thank you again.

@@Zero_Zero_Zero_Zero awesome appreciate it 🙌 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

That's what I was gonna ask. Y'all saved me some time. Much appreciated!

🔥🔥🔥 Teddy Zane is the man!!

And so are you thank you so much for your videos you're making my life so much easier

@@digitalmixer appreciate the feedback!!

🤙🤙🤙

Thank you 👍

🤙🤙🤙

🤙🤙🤙👍

Awesome , appreciate it!🤙 I use the Cajun country method with the roller ,,in combination with teddy zane's method with mortar on top🤙comes out clean!🤙

Thank you 🙏

Just used a ⛏️ to take off the top 🤙 and when I took off the form I tried something new by pulling it off with out unscrewing the form ,, a small piece in the corner chipped off so I thought great opportunity to make a resurfacing video🤙

Awesome 🤙 yeah I can turn it down a bit, no problem 🤙 your the 2nd one to mention that,so it must be an issue,, good luck on your future dry pours!🤙

Lol appreciate it!

Thank you 🤙

You don't have to leave a gap , that's your choice 🙌 the mortar mix will bond to the concrete, just make sure it clean 🤙

Appreciate it🤙what kind of deal do you recommend 🤙

​@@DiyTheGrappler I've not done this myself, but the self-made multi-millionaire that trained me (and literally thousands of other professional cleaners) in roof and exterior cleaning said (and I've read on many roof & exterior cleaning forums) that the Lock N Seal brand is a good combination of ease of use and quality seal. If you get these microbes inside the pores of the cement, you can't pressure wash them away. Pressure washing just mows down the top layer, but cannot reach inside the pores, short of actually using pressure to erode the surface. You can kill these contaminants with a 1-2% bleach mixture, but it's much less work to just seal it. I'm probably going to do a slab about 2 or 3 inches thick, and maybe 3 x 5 feet at the base of my deck. The dogs tear it up landing there and turning 90 degrees to the left each time they go out. So, I put down some spare pavers, but then I just need to go back and pull weeds. Liquid bleach is just salt water with an extra oxygen molecule, so when the chemical reaction is done it just reverts back to salt water. If you don't care about killing plants around the cement from salt, liquid bleach is the easiest way. If you want to avoid any salt damage, powdered bleach is calcium hypochlorite, which is calcium chloride after the chemical reaction is done, which is a nutrient plants crave. I just thought I'd toss that out there as well since I'm also a lawn care nerd. Oh, to mix powdered bleach, 1 ounce of powdered bleach per gallon of water is approximately 1% bleach strength. 2% strength would be plenty for cleaning most things, but for badly stained cement, sidewalks, etc., 3-4% is good. If you use powdered bleach, just be aware that it can leave calcium stains if you get overspray on something and do not rinse it off before it dries.

@@Troy-Echo appreciate that! Awesome information!

That's his niche it seems. that is what makes him different than the cliche videos. i would keep the sound effects

@@cosmicpowwow 🤙🤙🤙

Mortar mix and repair mortar mix are pretty much same just different brand and different color🤙 but both have 6000psi🤙 and yes forsure the majority of Brazilian Jiu jitsu teach kids 🤙

Appreciate it 🤙 yeah I believe you can still fix it🤙I would suggest chippin up or grinding the top layer, so the mortar mix has something to hold on to, then cleaning 🤙 after clean use rapid Set Mortar mix 6000psi or repair mortar 6000 psi also another option sand mix 5000 psi,, pour the mix on top ,,,then use paint roller for finish 🤙 in any case I would make a small form to put around your existing slab then top with what ever mix you choose and mist wait an hour mist again, wait another hour mist,, mist until top layer is hard then soak and shower 🤙 you could always use a wet resurfacing product, you would need to trowel for finish I resurfaced to slabs with dry pour 1 with rapid set Mortar mix and the other with sakrete sand mix,,both came out good 👍 good luck 🤙

@DiyTheGrappler thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I will let you know how it turns out

@@joshgallagan3657 🤙🤙🤙👍

To be honest have never tried but I'm sure it's possible if wet enough!

Sounds like a good next video!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLl6pb2UqrvLmZs.html I agree 🤙 check this video out to help with curing (strengthing process) 🤙 good luck with your slabs in the future!🤙

🤙 concrete is composed of Cement Sand Aggregate (little rocks) Reason why putting repair mortar or mortar mix (cement and sand) 6000psi at the top helps with smooth finish 🤙

Thank you for the input 🤙 I seen the same,,it does set faster,,so Im able to soak faster 🤙the slab behind this one is about month old did the same process and so far it's doing great🤙I'm actually going to start some dry vs wet vs different method tests soon 🤙to get a better idea of what is happening during these different strategies 🤙

Wrong. Lol.🤣

@@jameshines6486 Wrong about what? If you know better, please explain. I'm here to learn something. Lol.

It is👍 so that I could resurface the whole concrete slab 👍

@@DiyTheGrappler thank you

This I can not say my friend,,I definitely don't want to give you and answer that I don't know 🙌you will need to do more research on rapid Set Mortar mix,, good luck on your search 🙌

@@DiyTheGrappler if it's just Portland cement with a polymer it should be fine

@@guerrilla1044 🤙🤙🤙

Correct the dry pour concrete was set and all done then poured mortar mix on top to resurface it 🤙

@@DiyTheGrappler ok cool. Thank you sir. I’m doing a 14’x12’ now for my outdoor kitchen. I just did a 4x4’ test section and I think I may need to put the mortar mix on top. I subscribed also.

@@MrBdogg317 awesome good luck! Check out my more recent video with the Sand mix topping 🤙 it's another great option,,lower cost,,grey color,,5000psi used for capping and fixing concrete 🤙

@@DiyTheGrappler will do thanks again sir

@@MrBdogg317 🤙🤙🤙no prob!

You can fix it with repair mortar or mortar mix 🤙 how did the rest of the slab come out🤙

@@DiyTheGrappler The rest came out good. I wish I could send you a picture .

@@DiyTheGrappler Is there any way I could send you a picture or something to show you how I would fix it?

Yeah I actually started and Instagram Diy the grappler 🤙 just up loaded a new video also🤙

@DiyTheGrappler ok ill do that

🤣💯💯🤙🤙🤙🤙

Lolololol yes let's do that! Only way to learn is to fail🤙

You aren't "paving the way" here. You're just following a clout collective. You will never know the headache you caused for your voting peers. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Lol it is solid 🤙

4 inch 🤙 normally this is the average for a wet pour driveway 🤙I'm actually going to be making a driveway out of dry pour 🤙still doing some research but might go 5-6 inches with fiber and rebar as reinforcements🤙

@@DiyTheGrappler I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I was told up here in Northern ND to put foam board and then some sort of rebar due to the frost and freezing temps what do you think?

@@gwenienelson2535 thanks 👍 I agree with that foam/expansion boards plus fiber,,rebar or rebar mesh wire🤙to make strong as possible 🤙 especially because you are in a freeze/thaw area🤙I plan to do the driveway in 5x5 slabs with Rocks in-between 🤙so in any case the repair would be Minor ,,just having to replace or repair one slab 🤙 good luck!

Forsure I'm on gratitude and positive vibes 🤙

You can but most mortar are around 2500 psi (pounds per square inch) If you're looking for strength I would go with Repair mortar 6000psi🤙 Or Rapid Set Mortar mix 6500psi🤙 Just made another Dry pour video coming out tomorrow 🤙

@@DiyTheGrappler thank you very much
