Use Sika FastFix All Weatherin small manageable amounts. Avoid spreading over a large area before application. Ensure material is all loose by raking through. Do not try to break up and use any small set lumps. Do not add any extra sand.

Concrete paint comes in just about any color. Most manufacturers have a set of standard colors ranging from 30 to 40 options. Some offer custom color matching services as well. Concrete paint is non-reactive (similar to a water-based concrete stain) and fills the surface pores of the concrete to achieve opaque, uniform, consistent color. However, paint can chip and peel over time, especially if you don’t prepare the surface properly. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING PAINT TO COLOR CONCRETE?For paint to adhere properly, the concrete should also be dry and free of trapped moisture. An easy way to test the moisture content of concrete before painting is to duct tape an 18-inch square of clear plastic onto the surface and leave it in place for 24 hours. If condensation collects under the plastic after that time, the concrete is too damp for paint application and needs additional drying time.

If we take a look at the first category, a fully penetrating concrete sealer, we need to understand what it does and why we would use it, and where. If we think about them as a product that looks like water, is generally clear or slight colour, and soaks into the concrete. Once it enters the concrete through the pores, it finds and reacts with lime or un-reacted cement (cement is burnt lime). Topical coatings – these sealers are typically higher solids, 2 component, reaction resin based sealers. Fully penetrating concrete sealer – Densifier

Dust proofer for new and old concrete cement based floors, screeds and paving in factories, garages and domestic dwellings.Fully penetrating sealer – these concrete sealers are also referred to as densifiers. There are a number of variations of densifiers/Fully penetrating sealers, but their characteristic is that they work by chemical reaction with “free lime” inside the concrete matrix and do not leave a surface coating. More on these later…… Unlike acid stains, which must be applied with a sprayer, you can apply most concrete paints with a simple paint brush or roller. Cleanup is easy as well, since most concrete paints are water-based acrylic latex formulas. Concrete paints are also safer to apply, especially indoors. When working with acid-based stains, it’s important to take precautionary measures because they often contain corrosive components that can cause eye and skin irritation and produce strong odors.
