PROPS! For not trying to look like you're perfect and never make mistakes! We're all human and things don't always work out the first time. The end result looks great!
Soooooo one thing not mentioned in this video that I learned after my first failed attempt at doing this. Maybe this was obvious to most but I didn't really think it would be an issue. It is that this stuff sets SUPER QUICKLY. And I knew that it did but I thought I would be able to move fast enough. Well, I was wrong. Eventually, the product curing caught up with me. Having another set of hands or two will make a huge difference here. It is advised to have multiple buckets with the water measured out, someone to mix while you pour, and even a third person that keeps the hose on misting the fresh surface. I couldn't keep up to mist fast enough and on top of looking like crap because it set too fast and didn't blend with the final pours, I got hairline cracks in the good part because it dried too quickly. GET HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THIS!!!
Thank you for showing that you're human and we make mistakes and we can fix it. You're such an inspiration! The porch looks fabulous!
I have used this dye for three of my homes. It has held up great and will continue to use it!! Inside and out looks fine after 7 years now just seal it every year or as needed.
Thank YOU!!! It really helps that you screwed up! I feel sooo much better!
LOL you’re welcome but I wish my wife would say the same thing LOL 😂
The comedic comments are always appreciated, thanks for making great diy continent!
I watched the concrete counter top video yesterday. By the end, I was impressed and ready to subscribe. So I did. I watched a couple more of your videos which only confirmed to me that my decision to subscribe was a good idea. You have excellent content, you are upbeat and have a lot of energy, and you are not afraid to point out any mistakes you make and show us how to correct them. Outstanding! Keep the videos coming, you're doing great!
Would like to see more discussion about what to do around the edges !!
After watching you B side video from a while ago, it makes me appreciate your effort to keep the boring topic of watching cement dry engaging and enjoyable. You're certainly honing your craft and I for one enjoy it.
Michael, you are awesome! I've been wanting to do this inside the house (damaged basement floor). You make it look easy, but acknowledge your mistakes too! makes a DIY'er like me much more confident. Thank man!
Thank you so much!
how well has this held up my father did a concrete patio last summer and there are several uneven spots that now that it is winter are becoming a massive ice sheets was wondering if this would work to lvl/ make it so the water doesn't pool and if it would last long time without chipping off
I adore this look. Trying to make a small two person sitting area on the side of my garage and this has given me a great idea.
I like this hard leather concrete. It is beautiful.
Michael some of your stuff is so cool. And I like the fact your a concrete guy who admits his mistakes. Been into concrete work for 50 years. As you probably know a concrete workers useful life is not long enough. Man I found your site and even though my shoulders and knees are wore out I have found and explored stuff thru you I can do again. Thanks brother ☮️ Peace
I didn’t know there was such thing as concrete dye, thanks Mike
Great work! I have to do exactly the same on my patio. Thanks for the detailed explanation and tips!!
Respect for showing the mistakes and fixing them 👌
True value
Stain a concrete porch, one solid generic gray color for me. Enjoy your videos
Need to do those stairs next!
Great job! I'm hooked now. Time to start my binge watching. I'm learning so much. I can't wait until I am completely healed from this rotator cuff tear to put what I'm learning to use. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate the commentary on technical problems, tools and techniques. I also really appreciate the "how to work with errors" section. Most of us DIY'ers will be doing things like this only once. So, we'll have errors or problems. It is actually very helpful to see how to work with those problems.
Hi Michael! Superb presentation skills and top-notch production value! Great information and so entertaining! Thank you for doing this!
Thanks Michael for giving the confidence to tackle projects like this 👍💥
Nicely done, I have both an indoor and outdoor application.
Nice, I did some concrete counters a while back and I used a beige color like yours but it was an acid stain, so when you artistically apply the stain in a random pattern and get some overlay you get deeper and deeper colors without having to use multiple colors. Turned out fantastic!
Seeing your Pittsburgh level made me confident to pull this off.....I too have this level 👍🏽
Easily one of my new favorite channels! I really appreciate your content and method of explanation and demonstration, very helpful! Keep it comin!
Thank you so much Cliff! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that! ☺️🙏👍🏻
Even with the happy little accidents, still looked good!!!! Giving me ideas for my back patio a little later!!!!
Lol 😂 thank you so much! 👍🏻😊
I am so happy to see that you blew up! I saw your first video and just knew you were going to be big! See you on TV soon! Continued success!
Thank you so much Matt!
You need a gauge rake for sure which will give you a much better more even finish! Gauge rake and spike roller are a must
I am a floor layer we do vinyl plank, hybrid floor, timber floors and are used to floor preparation
The moment you asked "what's the moral..." my brain screamed "RTFM"! Great video!
Lol 😂
And I chuckled, and thought "dudes!"
I just watched and enjoyed the video. And I am wondering how it held up.
Thanks
The leveler held up great. The stain and clear coat held up good but there were a few small chips here and there. If you have snowy winters DO NOT use the gloss! Waaaaay too slippery!Go low sheen for better traction
No mistakes, just happy little trees. Great Video THANKS.
Dude! You did it again! Pure Awesomeness!
Love how you try your best to avoid specialty tools and keep this for the regular average Joe handyman!
Love how you make mistakes and include that in the tutorial as things to watch out for,...and you can laugh at yourself, "Be gentle when filling your sprayer!"
Also, not as important to me, but the video audio quality is really good!
Keep up the good work! Really appreciate you! Been watching since the first video!
Thank you so much for the great video. It helped me a lot yesterday, and I actually use the squeegee device and put some nails to it so it can keep the robber half an inch above the floor, and it worked perfect. I didn’t have the other device that you were talking about which has height adjustment.
LOVE the finished look
Thank you so much Tammy! We like it hehe
Great job! Looks nice
Lord I wish you were for hire. We remodeled an old cabin and it had no kitchen. The cupboards arrive tomorrow..and I really want counters like this....but I'm terrified of doing this myself. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise
Fantastic job......only snafu was the porcupine rolller...thats for creating bubbles!!....just kiddin- great job
Looks much better than before Michael! Keep up the great work and stay healthy my friend!
Thanks,
DC
Very well thought out and great cinematography....well done. Randomly checked your video. Liked and subscribed. Greetings from Greece!
Thank you so much! AND WELCOME TO THE CHANNEL! 💪🏻👍🏻😊
Love the way you teach!!! I’m gonna try this.
Why thank you! 🙏😊
I love it and I loved that you used inexpensive tools and you made errors and showed how to fix I am not sure what a mist is but I assume it’s water! Lol
I just like your attitude and tenacity. LOL...great job!!!
I was looking for this video ... I extended my driveway and add more concrete for a patio and the patio area is uneven. And the paint idea is super. Summer project. ,
Awesome!
You're my hero, Michael.
That porch is beautiful
Nice combination of sand colors. Good looking porch! 👍
I have watched most of your videos. I'm planning a major redo of my back yard. I would like to see a video of water color staining of concrete. I have watched a few about it elsewhere. But yours are entertaining and I usually watch more than once. I hope to see more of your concrete videos. I have learned so much thank you.
what he used was water based stain
Michael your videos are always great!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
I didn't know that when it says "underlayment" you can just stain/seal it. This makes me feel a lot better. I'm leveling out a patio and may/may not build a deck on top. If I can make it look this nice I may not! I bought the house with a deck on top of a cracked patio, but just recently had to strip the deck off because the joists rotted through due to standing water.
It looks perfect! I would be so grateful and happy if mine came out like this.
Great job!! love the color
Thank you so much James!
Looks real good!!! The steps r next...🙈
I Love the color also...Great Work!
If you have deep spots you can use the self level and fill in the holes let dry then see if it's level then apply the primer and then self level if not all level do another coat until its level.
I don't know what you do for a living but I would love to work for you your personality is great and what you do is just as good
Wow, does that ever look great. Another awesome learning experience and very entertaining. Well done sir!
Thank you so much Monty!!!
Fabulous! I need this video so that I can redo all the stoops on my home (4 in all). Thanks for the instructions, including what can go wrong!
I just loved this video. You make me laugh, Michael. Not at you but just how you do your videos. The way you acknowledge your mistakes, the way you tell us what corners you cut; (which was on your last video that I just watched, "How to make a rubber mold"). I watched your concrete benches yesterday with the stone rivers that run through them and I subscribed immediately to your videos. You're real, you're fun, you're funny when need be and your serious and so informative on your directions. Keep up the good work.
I've got to level my basement floor and I might need someone to come help BUT I will definitely have a hand in it so that we do it my way; which will be the way that I learn it here of what to do and of what NOT to do. Thank you so much for your videos. I'm looking to see more.
I'm going to go look now to see if you've got one on Bird Baths. If you don't; oh wait, I see one now from Michael Builds How to do Bird Baths and Repair concrete step. Cool, I'm going to go watch that one right now; then I need to get to work. Thanks again.
Totally Awesome Video.
Dude that looks great keep them videos coming I wait for your videos everyday I can't get enough of them
I was worried....where had you been? Glad you are back and doing exactly what I need help with...thank you and stay well
Thanks ! It reminds me of a really well-aged shotgun receiver . Gun metal but with lots of character . Anyway , your video helped a lot . It’s been since 2009 that I did this and I would’ve been sorry if I hadn’t watched this 👍🏽
Happy Holidays! Another informative video, well done. Pull up a chair and have a cold one.
Thanks Michael, you took one for the team! Loved the video!
Hey Michael, it's a year later. How's the dye holding up?
@@RM-lo1ud
Yeah, Michael, where's the beef?
:-D
Where's the update video 😡
All of this dudes videos top comments are asking for a follow up vid.. idk
Looking to do this, how was the stains longevity
😂 Hey! Mistakes are learning opportunities. Thnk you for showing us what NOT to do, this is very helpful!!! 👍
Good teacher..I've learned alot
Great job...it does resemble leather.
You mentioned that this self-leveling concrete is not a wear surface; it needs something on top. But it looks like in your video that there is not top wear surfacing. Does the sealer make it a wear surface? I want to do something similar but I want to avoid laying tile on top. I like the finish that you applied.
Dude, I love the way you put your videos together.
And many do not because the content is superfluous while being incorrect. Sealer does not make a non-wearable surface into a wearable one, for example. To much ego stoking and cutesy-ness and not enough knowledge. King of the blind.
Somehow you have a new sub 😎 love your work, solide content Michael
Much better than I could. Great Job!
Great video and info. Thanks!
Great video. It's exactly what I was looking for
Beautiful look
great job done
thank you for this video . All worked out nicely
Great production quality.
very kool.....nice job bro..
Hi! Could you do a follow up with the driveway project you did last year? To show us how its holds up abd everything. Thanks!
Really great project.
Hey micheal thanks
Thank you
You’re nice and clear fella. Good vids. Subscribed.
Hi Michael, your video is so helpful, and we are wondering how the patio held up??
Nice job.steps would look good stained also.
Great video! After two years now, how did the stain work out?
Thank you MMichael...you did a great video!!!
Really enjoyable and helpful. You're great at this. Thank you!
Good job! Congrats on following your dreams hope all works out. Just allow us to see more of the project not just you talking about the project. I was really trying to see the difference between the mess up and the correction but you where standing directly in the way lol
You're an awesome dude! Learning and fun! Keep it up!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you for this video. It's gorgeous
Beautiful job homie
Thanks been waiting on this video since you mentioned it! I have a patio I was considering busting out and repouring cause surface is flaking. Going to try this. Thanks
Nice job bro. And good cover in the screwup. Lol but this gives me a idea. I'm sure there's a video on it somewhere but barely grinding geooves into the concrete in a pattern that looks like a hard wood floor. Use the same colors as you did. Just brush in the woodgrain look. And seal it with the wet look. I think it would look awesome.
Dude, your so awesome . Rock on.
brother, as a 35 year old with severe hearing damage from duck hunting, use ear pro. If I want to have a conversation at a loud restaurant or bar, I have to wear hearing aids now
I think you should’ve sloped it away from the house. I also think their porch is much much heavier now. And I think that you should’ve plastic off the area around where you did your work a little more like the stone steps side of the house etc. Other than that the final look is pretty good and gave me some ideas
