Just refinished my spaulded concrete 17 by 17 foot garage floor with similar product called Akona concrete resurfacer from Menards in 2hrs. Prep took all week. Apparently the parent company here makes both Quikete and Akona. My finished look is good but took two coats. It came in 25lb plastic bags which I recommend vs 40lbs. Plastic bags kept the powder in side from lumping. 25lbs was fairly easy to mix. Mix exactly 60 fluid oz for the 25 lb bag. Temperture in garage 60 degrees. I had a working time of nearly one hour but it would smooth easier if done within 30 min. I used a garden sprayer to lightly moisten the old concrete. My wife mixed with drill and I spread. She could easily keep ahead. While mixing use a flat stick to stir up the bottom and sides of 5 gallon pail. It seems to settle quickly into the bottom of pail. It hardened and filled the spaulded concrete great. I did the second coat for appearance only. My mistakes were spreading in two different directions and spraying too much water onto old surface. Too much water made for a white appearance. Tips. Use 2 inch tape to outline your work area. Use small flat shovel to scoop excess material when finished. Use trowel instead of squeege when finishing. Squeege in one direction the entire length. In my case 17 ft. You can scrape off ridges with trowel after few hrs. Don't let the squeege hop while dragging. Push down harder if hopping. Keep both mixed and a little powder for patchup of your mistakes. You can trowel it down somewhat while it is setting. You can clean up spilled concrete with water and brush up to 4hrs later. Hope this helps someone.

Very informative video thank you. Keep up the good work.

Very good ..coz u write what u said, thnx alot

Got it! 1. Start with a freshly poured concrete slab with a nice, clean, broom-finish surface as shown. 2. Take an air chisel to the slab to spall the surface. 3. Buy some Sakrete and mix up thick to fill the spalling you just performed. 4. Mix it thinner to cover it all. I'll remember to buy some if I ever decide to do that. For everyone's immediate concern, which product do we use to resurface a garage floor that has been there for a few decades, with cars parking on it, dripping oil and antifreeze over that time, with actual spalling caused by ice freezing, with the obligatory crack, and that we can park cars on again and not have it flake off leaving it worse off?

Can you show an "after" test pad, after it's been used in a Northern climate and driven over multiple times, and exposed to road salt and brine de-icing products used by municipalities?

Can I use concrete sealer on this? And if so, how long do I need to set it before applying the sealant? I am actually using this for a desk.

can you use this product over a patio that has a stain covering?

I saw a video with top bond to fill in pitted areas. What is the difference between the 2 products? And do they dry different colors?

Can this be acid stained after it has cured?

28 day cure time? Wow!

The broom finish always leaves a lot of snots with these products. Is any other finish possible?

For how long it works without crack(s)? We do need to know the time of test experience you did, and views of users.

Ở Việt Nam 🇻🇳 có loại này không ad ?

That was pretty great im going to try it out. Random question can this go over a brick layed area. Or would that just be dumb?

Can the product be used to even out slabs of concrete that have settled out of level or have concave sections? Thank you in advance for your reply and any advice you may offer.

What's the difference between using this, and painting on portland with a bonding agent?

And, how would you use this on an internal concrete floor inside the home where you would want a smooth finish? Specifically just needing to cover up a long crack where two rooms joined into one, and they did not butt it up tight enough to make it cohesive.

What is the name of the attachment and will any type of drill work? Thanks!

Before the patching border texture was flat and shiny. After patching, you made inner and outer surface all same, than how is it visually appealing? After patching, it looks ruff work and does not look professional craftsmanship.

How many square feet does one bag do

Looked better beforehand

Hi I was acid cleaning my porch and the acid spilled while I wasn’t home. It sat on the concrete for a few house and we now have around 1/2 to 1 inch deep holes where contact was made at first and discoloration other places. If I patched up the holes could I put this on my whole porch to keep the color even

Can this product be colored?

What exterior paint colours are available after the 28 days from placing Flo-Coat Sakrete

I don’t like that it leaves small pits and imperfections. How can I achieve a very smooth finish?

sir I have a floor of about 3000 feet and thousands of holes a quarter deep and three inches in diameter what cement can I use to cover the holes and that it does not dry too quickly to be able to work. Thank you

What about the edges

Can you use this on cracked home foundation ?

Do you make any white products? I only like Whites.

can these be squeegeed to be a polished look? Is it self leveling to some degree...meaning will it allow itself to level out before drying?

Can this product be used on strained concrete?

Can I use this around my pool concrete deck??

What is the minimum thickness for traffic areas e.g.a path to walk on or on a driveway where cars use it?

THAT is not damaged concrete. Show us repairing REAL damage.

For thin skim coating, is there any kind of fibrous material that can be added to prevent cracking (dryer lint maybe)?

Can this be used over a Chattahoochee (aggregate stone) deck, assuming there is no sealant on the Chattahoochee?

Can this be applied over painted concrete floors?

How would you do this to a slab with a step? Box it in?

My contractor used this product and it crumbles to a powder when walked on. I can rub with my finger and get it to break down. Why would that happen and does this powder-like dust contain silica dust?

Can Flo-Coat be tinted?

I’m chuckling at the folks who don’t like the brushed finish. It’s obvious they don’t know what they’re talking about, and their ignorance gets more obvious with choice of words...

You sure need a lot of stuff.

This is horrible! I tried this and ended up not being able to mix because it becomes very thick. You need a concrete mixer. Wasted several bags by trying to follow this video

the brush is a kitchen broom? a kitchen broom? very odd.

Sad when they can't even make it look good in their own video.

This is not a good product , it works ok but , you will not get a consistent even broom finish even if you use a horse hair broom , in a pinch if you lost a slab and you need to make it look half way good this works but if you are looking to upgrade your old concrete no no no no no , remove it and replace it , i just saved you one big headache

.

The original slab looked better🤣

Dries too fast.

Can yall send me a couple 40lb sample bags? Please?

Man this looks awful. I'd be embarrassed to have it turn out like that.

It looks ugly

The finish looks horrible. Drag marks, low areas and not professional.

Lol not gonna lie looks like shit for a pro company

Lol.. uuuuummm, that looks like shit..

Sorry guys but this is a terrible video. It bounces all over the place.

Hi, What color is this when dry?
