Good Job Guyz ! I am a concrete guy in Hawaii for 35 years ...just now doing a big lava stamp job . They do not manufacture lava stamps . We go out on the real lava flow fields and pour the latex and make our own .

I saw a stamped concrete patio at a friends house and I didn't like it because it looked fake. This doesn't look fake at all and the attention to detail really pulls it off nicely. Thanks for demonstrating this technique.

You guys do a great job! Nice to see tradesmen proud of their work. Well done.

That must be expensive, 'cause it sure is labor intensive. Where I live, people want something for nothing, and they want it fast.

These guys must be well paid.  I have never seen a contractor who does work with this much attention to detail.  Good job.

These guys must cough up 10 pounds of cement dust after each job.

It was almost like an episode of How it's made. I like the slate type look you were able to achieve with the texture mat. Great work guys.

Don't be rude. I understood what they were saying. I found this to be extremely interesting and informative. As for what a skin and mat are, if you watched the video, you would have learned that. I did not know what any of these things were before this video, now I do. They did a great job.

I love these! I have been in the paving industry for eight years now, specifically "interlocking paving stones" but never had any knowledge of stamped concrete until now. How do I get the materials particularly dry partarn?

Hello All I have been stamping for 20 yrs We got away from powder release about 7 yrs ago. Liquid is a much cleaner and i beleive myself a much more precise stamping method. The dust hides to many imperfections that liquid does not. Plus you wont spend a day trying to clean the job site up :) That powder gets on everything and gets everywhere.Try cleaning it out of a pool you'll see :) We use nothing but integral colors alot less labor and your color is throughout your patio not just the top.

How do you know when it’s ok to start stamping?

[robertlouie]

I've been doing concrete for thirty plus years and these guy's are good advise for whom watch's!!!

...and now I see why I was quoted $26K to redo my driveway. Geeez! Thats a lot of work. Worth every penny too. (I didnt get it done yet. Figured I'd watch a video to see if It was something I could myself... I was rght... I cant! 😂)

Excellent! Thank you for the video. Well done, and informative. At a length of 13:22, it was worth my time. Thanks!

Colored concrete using integral color or color hardener will last forever even if the concrete is not sealed. The pigment is throughout the cement paste of the color hardener and will not weather away. Sometimes decretive concrete gets a bad name because people use a paint type product over stamped concrete that will fade if not properly maintained with a sealer. The cost can be less or around the same price as real stone depending on the design you are after.

[SolomonColors]

It’s always a good idea to brush powder release to the stamp before a stamp job, especially new stamps. Release needs to be applied to the slab but you want to avoid throwing release in clumps so that it does not ball up on the slab.
