Good,Bad and Ugly...Which Are Which?

[NS'Creter]

I've used a few different ones, none that were too bad or ugly...but I'm sure they're out there. I have learned from experience that it's best to talk to someone with real world experience (with the material) and not just the salesperson. I guess that holds true about everything, though.

Super-Krete has great overlay material. You always hear me say this but ,I must say it again in that Pene-Krete is the key. I am not a salesman I am just impressed by the material and I know how it works. Super-Krete Heavy Duty Degreaser is applied first this cleans and degreases as well as adds more alkili to concrete, Spray on and brush in after 30 min. pressure wash. Once surface is dry, spray on Pene-Krete and brush in making sure not to puddle if so go back and brush in some more this will penetrate into the concrete pores and crystallize with the alkili and essentially turn into glass. Apply 2 coats maximum. After 24 hours, pressure wash off slab and wait 24 hours to apply stain or coating. This will increase the life of your coating by 300% , there will still be a slight vapor emissions if any but not enough at all to push off your coatings it's amazing stuff. This works on anything that is made of Portland cement. Concrete walls basements, parking structures (if there are moisture problems you can attack from underside of parking structure)!, My question on this is I wonder if you can all continue to use your products but add the S-K degreaser and Pene-krete as part of your prep work. I am going to call my rep and ask him. As we all knoqw it's best to not mix different brands but if it can work, then you can all use your materials your familiar to and still create a vapor barrier within the concrete. Any moisture problems and I'm telling you this is the cure.

Anyone know of or used Granicrete materials? Just attended one of their workshops and their local distributor is right here in town, which is awesome.Great class and awesome stuff they have and what you can do with their stuff. They have some stuff that you can use to cover formica and lots of other materials and it looks like real granite. I can see myself making tabletops and selling lots of made up furniture. Well I don't know about selling lots but at least I can make it if it arises. The prices are great as well. Any info is appreciated.
