Hi everyone :) I want to make 10 x 2kg concrete pots that are 100% waterproof. They will be filled with water. I currently use a mix of: Portland cement Grey cement sand water Acrylic gripcure fibre 15% bonding liquid I sealed it twice with bonding liquid after curing. Should i seal the inside with clear paint, varnish or epoxy? Or is there an admixture that works?

I have a customer that just had a 700-800 sf pole barn built. It has been over 30 days since the concrete was poured and he wants it to be epoxy flaked/coated, that's no problem. The catch is, there are some imperfections in the concrete from the Mason's pour and because of that, the PM running the job is going to cover the cost to grind the concrete and smooth the imperfections back out. Based on pictures I have gotten, the floor doesn't look like it will need anything special, most likley just a simple grind with 18/20 grit diamonds and a little patch here and there and it should be good to coat. Normally my prep price is combined into my overall cost of coating the floor with flakes, but with this situation, I need to provide the PM a price to grind the floor and the customer a price to coat it. I will be renting a machine to grind because I don't own my own yet so that will be a a factor of the costs, but does anyone have any recommendations as to what $/sf they would charge for the grinding. Do you have a general price for that service that you are willing to share. Trying to get an idea of what to charge/ what a typical going rate for that type of service is.

I am amazed at how much information is given in this course. Very informative and I love how everything is explained throughly! i am excited to trying my first floor and looking forward to the outcome. I have a question, is there a list of tools as well a list of the products recommended or products you use that you recommend?

I’ve been a bit off at school lately, but not without reason. I took on this project myself and have been fully focused on delivering real work on-site, handling responsibility and making sure everything is done right. This project came with a lot of challenges, but that’s where growth happens. Solving problems, staying consistent, and improving every day. I wanted to share this to show what I’ve been working on and what I’m building towards. Every day I learn more and push myself further. In the end, it’s all worth it.

Does anyone have experience with doing pebble stone? A guy asked for flake for a set of stairs, but I don't like doing flakes on the outside and always wanted to try installation of pebblestone ... now trying to get some more info before giving him a number.
