For a completely different use.... How effective do you think this process would be to combat algae slip if it was under water? Like a boat ramp?
Thanks.

Thanks for this well made video. I'm going to add to my exposed aggregate patio, filling in the 2' area between the patio and the house. Never done this, but your video has given me confidence.

I'm getting ready to do this tomorrow. I'm following your lead. Thank you very much for the knowledge. PS: I don't have any coke or Gatorade on hand. Thought I would mix up some sugar water and spray. Any thoughts? Thank you.

What was the time span between covering the aggregate in cream to washing it off? I'm doing the sidewalk next to my garage so that will help me with how many sections I can do in one day. Thanks!

How long did you wait to hose it off to give it the exposed look?

Μπορείς να μου πεις γιατί ρίχνεις cola κσι μετα απο ποση ωρα ωρα την έριξες στο τσιμέντο;

Another concreter on YouTube (Ninja) did a demo with coke as a concrete retarder & it came out poorly. I would probably use a commercial product. Did you use an acid cleaner before applying a sealer. Your end finish looks good.

There’s another video where the guy is exposing the aggregate on walls in Asia and he’s using a wet sponge and a bucket of water to do, from memory, and it seems like it works very well.
