Great vid! I use XS 327 and (as solid as it is) I've found I need to wax it bi-monthly and reapply yearly for my use case. Our kitchen is pretty high traffic. It's been the best product for us by far. One thing I've not been sure of is, for my yearly reapply, if I should be prepping with SCR? Or if that is really just meant to be for an initial etching but not necessarily something you would do for yearly maintenance? Any thoughts on that? I'm not sure if the etching would be harsh on my stained countertop or change the look. I've thought about maybe some sort of more mild wax or sealer remover, but I was afraid that would get into a big peeling/stripping situation, so the past couple years I've just been going over the top of what I've got - and it seems to work/penetrate just fine. But yeah, any tips would be welcomed. (I know not everyone does this yearly)

Maybe I missed it, but I was specifically looking for the primer that you were using. I googled "Zinsser cover stain on concrete" and was looking to see if I could find anybody that uses it on concrete and give a review, this video popped up but it never mentioned anything about The primer that was used nor did it look like the zinsert cover stay packaging. What says you?

I can't get those I'm california

Hi, I'm hoping you can help! I want to do something like this on our living room TV wall. However, I want to make it look like wet and or dark concrete / cement, like there is three large 4 x 8 formed panels. The wall is 8ft tall x 12ft wide wall, and is already drywalled, textured with orange peel style, and probably has at least 2 or 3 coats of latex (its an older house). I've looked at everything from easier faux finish painting techniques, to plaster with some extra sand content, but arrived at various micro-cement videos because I really want it to be at least 3/8" to 1/2" thick to create the vertical seams every 4ft apart as well the realistic voids and divots like real formed concrete walls. So I want it thick enough to create the random scattered rough voids and air pockets you typically see with various formed concrete slab walls. Secondly, FYI, for creating this effect I've seen one plasterer use clear plastic sheeting..like 1/8" thick (and I think with a light oil spray on the back) which they pressed onto the wall once the plaster was troweled to create that "faux form effect" if you will to create the voids and pockets and they leave it there overnight then peel off, in essence mimicking a real wall form. So my main questions I guess are with doing this to an old latex painted wall, do I even need a specialty sealing primer first, and should I possibly use some sort of lathe grid or mesh backing over the primer? Because of the fact that I want it to go on fairly thick..up to 1/2" inch, I just don't want it to crack or peel off the wall. Lastly, it looks like this turned out pretty light / white. As said initially, I want mine dark, like a wet look. How.?? Should I just add a colorant ..or use a top sealer, ..or both ??

Hey Chris, Jesse Grimley here, excellent stuff dude! Wtg

It would be nice to see that truck turn the tire and back up. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Chris! I'm doing a tricky furniture piece with the xs precast- was wondering if you had a few mins to discuss? Need all the expert advice I can get!

After applying the sealer XS-327 as a prime coat and it dried in 12 hours, I noticed the concrete change color. The concrete was darker in some areas while normal in the other, creating a patchy look. Any suggestions on how to fix this so it's not blotchy?

Don’t put up trim first - it will become the bane of your existence. Just sayin’

turn the tv off in the background

Didn’t cracked? What do you think about cement with fiberglass?

How long do you have to wait after powerwashing/cleaning to apply tk 290? The container only says dont apply if rain is expected within 4-6hr? How long does it have to sit before it can get rained on? How long after application can you walk or drive on it? Thank you!

I used Living Earth Water-Based stain on my new driveway. The color I selected was coal. I used a pump sprayer to apply it, just as it is shown in the video. The driveway looks absolutely awful. I was not able to get the stain to apply evenly and the cement looks patchy. Completely horrible results. I have a hideous ugly patchy crap looking driveway thanks to this product. Infinity thumbs down.

Excellent video. I just bought a 7 x 14 trailer for lawncare service. Do you think this is practical for that kind of work?

Hello! Did you add a color to mix in from their site? If so, which one?

How long are you letting this cure before vehicle traffic? On a residential driveway

Hi Kip. Do you prep the underside of the MDF with the black base coat? If not, how do you finish it?

Can you water trowel it like plaster to get a super smooth finish?

Just wondering, How is the epoxy coating holding up in your enclosed trailer ? Would you do it over again ? Did you paint the walls ? I have a enclosed trailer for my car and after watching your video I'm thinking about doing the same thing to my trailer, you did a beautiful job on your trailer looks great

Do you need elastoshield if you apply the micro topping to hardie board?

Unbelievable job I love the way it turned out.would you recommend using regular cement for a project like this? Do you have a link to the rubber mold?

It looks like cake batter.

That looks great…I’ll be using the Procast in the next few weeks.
