Ask questions and see if some one knows the answer.
Question 1.
NO: How long before we can walk on our new stamped concrete?
KP: 1 day after its sealed
SR: I normaly say three days after its sealed. If the sealer is on heavy it could still be tacky after one day.
Question 2.
NO: What do you do if a decorative sealer turns milky?
BG: I have a walkway that goes around my house with this same problem. What should I do? Is there something I can put on the sealer to make it clear again?
BK: If water is on the surface of the concrete when it is sealed I've seen it turn milky. I think if you break the sealer back down with aromatic 100 or mineral Spirits the water can then evaporate.
Question 3.
BS: Does stamped cocnrete look better really shiny? or better with a more matte like finish?
KB: Its more just a personal choice. But I like the shine
RF: What ever you pick make sure you put some kind of sharkgrip in it so you won't slip.
Question 4.
AS: What is the best mix to use for countertops? Buddy Rhodes or EnCounter? Or is there a difference?
BS: I like encounter, its easier to work with and gives you a better looking troweled finish.
Question 5.
GG: How durable is vertical wall stamping?
AF: I've hit it with some equipment before and it wasn't too bad.
Question 6.
BB: can out put the rope lights in a concrete countertop?
