- In this video I’m going to show you how to make your old tired concrete porch look like fresh brand new concrete with a product called NewCrete by Rapid Set Cement. I’m also going to show you how to personalize your next big project with some concrete art using the NewCrete. Hope you like it!

Instructions for printing large banners:
I only know how to do this with Adobe Acrobat. You can print a large format document, such as a poster or banner, by splitting the page across multiple sheets of paper (called “tiling”). The tiling option calculates how many sheets of paper are needed. You can adjust the size of the original to best fit the paper and specify how much each “tile” overlaps. You can then piece together the tiles.
You can also scale up a standard-sized document and print it on multiple pages.
1.Choose File, Print.
2.Click Poster.
3.(Optional) Set any of these options, referring to the Preview image to check the output results:
4.Print once you're happy with the scale.

It would be awesome to make a follow up video after a couple years to see how well this product holds up.
Exactly.
@@1flychicken @Rich-hm9ux it just so happens. he did. ...sort of. He referenced it in a video 2 years later at least and said it's still holding up fine.

i actually came here FROM this other video ironically enough.
Thank you for making video. My husband and I really need to do this to our porch.
Thank you for the video! This was exactly what I was looking for and now I'm going through all your content :D
Thanks for all you bring to us MB, I look forward to more of your instructional videos. My projects are coming soon and thanks to you, I feel ready to take them om! I'll share what I do, would welcome some correction and advice.
I’m so glad I found your account. Lots a big plans thanks to your videos
I look daily for your videos… can’t wait until your next one .. I know your busy .. just excited to see what you do next I am a big. Fan of your channel… have a blessed week .
Super Excited when I got the video notification!! Another video......HELLS YEAH!!!🤘🤠👍
Lol thank you so much!!! I’m just glad you guys are getting them haha
Great to see the small hassles and pests you had to deal with afterwards!!🤣🤣 A lot of the times the videos just show the cut and clear process and never mentions the mosquitoes, traffic, garden hose getting hooked and other pets and pests coming in-between. Thanks for keeping it real!
As always, great video and awesome content. The porch job was awesome but would love to see you idea on resurfacing a cement driveway.
Just mix Portland and water , to a paint consistency, then paint it bro look bran new and no discolor , I’m a stucco and mason , just a trick I have in my tool bag brotha
I have four porches that need to be redone....thanks for doing this!!!
Love the outtakes at the end.
Michael honey, bet your wife is so happy to have you gettin all that work done around the house that you didn't get done for years. 😊 So happy to see another video. Everyone makes mistakes and that is another good part of your videos. You show and explain after your mistake what we need to avoid the mistake. And you make everything fun and not boring. Keep up the good work.
Turned out good! You could fix that discoloration with some concrete stain if you were feeling frisky
Thanks for sharing this video. Good ideas for my next project.
Awesome demonstration!
Amazing video !! Wondering if you could ever do a video about feathering a kitchen counter top with concrete? I seen many videos but not sure which would do the job better, thank you for your work !!
Dude I love how human you are and how easy us noobs could make the same mistakes your doin. BTW could this be stamped or does it cure to fast?
Great job...great video!!
Bought a house with neglected concrete front steps that I was going to pay someone to replace. I'm definitely trying these products when it warms up to save $$. Thank you for the vid!!!
Did you give it a go? I’m about to do a front porch repair.
@@surlycrosscheck1 not yet.. I'm still deciding whether to use decking boards over the concrete or to use this product. This is a cheaper alternative, but I do like the look of the decking boards better 🤔
We just tore out previous owners deck over the front steps. To cover it the boards were higher than the door. Makes water go into the house if a bad fast rain. And boards all warped over time. I’m ready to put this skim coat over our thankfully existing cement porch from under the deck.
@@jacquelineeastman4841 I just spent 20 straight hours grinding 20+ years of carpet adhesive off my porch. Chipped and broke away all the old loose concrete and repaired everything. Porch is now solid and flat (slight grade away from house of course). All I have left is to put the new coating on. I’m going to try and get it done within the next week of so. If I think of it, I’ll let you know how it goes.
Great job as usual.
Thank you so much Monty! 😊
This was so helpful! Thank you!
You are very welcome Tiffany! 😊
Love the bloopers!
I'm outside of AA and have been putting this project off for years. My porch is covered in slick when wet tile. I tried using a gripping compound with adhesive but it's still a hazard. Garage needs a similar tx too.
Love your videos!
Great video, im getting ready to attempt to do this.
Great vid I’m excited to start mine soon
“Did I say damn sponge? I meant to say damp sponge.” 🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes great job
Shares his love for the dust shroud and then follows with a video shot of the dust cloud around the grinder …priceless 😆
Dust shroud works well with the proper dust extractor and large flat surfaces "like the top of the slab" when the dust shroud is wider or hanging past an edge such as doing the vertical edge that is likely 3.5" and the Dust shroud is over 5" dust will escape but I will guarantee you its a fraction compared to without it. Without a dust shroud it would probably be hard to even see him. Silica dust is very bad for you, do not work with it without the proper safety gear. This is coming from a guy that never wears safety glasses but silica dust is nasty. Dust extractor and shroud is a must or do it wet.
Ok watched this video many times and i think i'm ready to do my two door cement steps. One has a bigger corner chunk missing, this is the week.
I love the logo example
looks good
Good job.
Dude! We have the same dog! haha. We just adopted her and she's blind so it takes some getting use to. Great video man. I have a few projects like this where my concrete needs to be resurfaced. Thank you for sharing.
YOU NEED TO RETURN HIS DOG
Great video!
Awesome! I thought you were going to say the bush was full of spiders, but the stickers are almost as good.
Thanks Michael! Great video. You make it look way too easy! I just resurfaced my steps. How soon before I can stain them?
I have an outdoor kitchen with tile top on concrete. How would I go about restoring the concrete after removing the tile. Including the tiled edges. I was watching this video and it seems like a good idea to apply to my own countertop.
Thank you very much more video 👏👍💪💪💪
Awesome video. Subscribed
I used rapid set mortar to build a basin for a rain curtain water feature based on your coffee table video. Great stuff! I did find out that acid stains don’t work with that type of concrete. I ended up using a water based stain which was ok for darker colors but I didn’t get that crazy luminous color you get from acid stain. Any suggestions? I’d like that drip look that you can get from acid stain running down a vertical surface.
How does this stuff hold up in the Midwest winters AND, can it be used on driveway patches??? Sticker bushes are a "B" Thank You!
Just curious what the surface was like after the diamond grinder. Was it smooth? Did it look okay or is it 100% necessary to refinish it?
Great video! I have dark brown stamped concrete and am wondering if this product can be used for stone pops? If so, how to I color it to make it match?
SO it's been over a year... I'd like to see an update.. I see these types of products just flaking and chipping away... unless some kind of bond / primer is set down before this is put on or it's in the actual new crete mix? ( maybe I missed that info? ) but def would like to see an up date on this for durability long term, even at 1 yr!
Looks good to me! I need patio help! Ideas
Welcome back
Would you recommend this or the self leveling product for a basement floor with the stain
How well do you think this would hold up on a driveway? Do you have another suggestion to fix a spalled driveway?
Method #4: Pressure Washer!!! HELLO!!!
That was my thought!
Just did the driveway with the tried and true power washer and cleaner
😂
Tried that didn't work. That's why I'm asking
I tried having it power washed with a 4000 psi power washer and only about 40% came off and now I have to use the angle grinder
I have two low spots on a newly poured concrete countertop. Would this be the right product and can you stain it like regular concrete?
Nice.
Gd job thx alot
Question,I would like to build concrete kitchen counter tops but what would I seal the top with so I can use it to roll out biscuit dough
Great Project Micheal.
Rapid set is not available in South Africa, there could be a opertunity to become a distributer.
What is your thoughts and what would the requirements be?
Nice video
@michael builds you have etcher and degreaser on the “products used” section although you didn’t show those in the video. Are either or both necessary?
It was like watching me do a project and learning the hard way I forgot something. These are videos for us regular dudes.
See! You get it! Now I just need everyone else to see it that way too hahaha
@@MichaelBuilds Hey on a side note, thanks for the videos. Been watching yours since you started them. You (along with others on CZcams) got me interested in working with concrete. Been doing artwork and now moved up to a table to go poolside. So thanks for the inspiration. I plan on doing much more concrete creations as my skills improve. And this video resonated with me as I am constantly learning after I make a cast that I did something wrong, or could do something more efficiently. So keep them coming and the followers will keep building. Love the @CTSRapidSet products too!
Does that struff need a good rain coat to make it last longer? One step further. Or an acid stain?
I live in sturgis Michigan, have nothing planned the 16th, ill come meet you!
We got one! Lol
Can you tell me why in this project you would not use Cement All for patching + resurfacing like In your other concrete steps repair + bird bath video?
Which one is better for very cold weather, rapid set cement or newcret
Was not one of the better jobs I've seen you do but hey....It's better than it was!
Could this product be applied over plywood for a faux cement counter top?
Great video. Anyone know what the UK equivalent of Cement All is? It's exactly what I need for some small patching.
Hey Michael! Did you reseal the seam between the porch and your house?
I would love to know what color that your door is and the trim around your windows...
Can you use cemental to add height to an existing step. The previous homeowners added height to the actual porch but that leaves the top step onto the porch very high.
i've yet to see a video of anyone using this stuff and making it look really good
Question: Will Cement all last longer or New Crete? I want to do my bulkhead basement cement steps. Not to look nice but for wear and tear. oh, I am a perfectionist, too. I sometimes work things too long, too. I'm learning but I sometimes think okay just once more and poof, it was one stroke too many. LOL Thank you, Michael Builds.
Great.🥂
Could this be used to resurface exposed aggregate pool deck? If so, could you also use a stamping technique with it for texture?
Probably wouldn’t be thick enough to be able to stamp over
awsom work!where can we buy the concrete?
Looks really good.
So you didn't need to apply any bonding adhesive first ?
Nope. Not with this stuff. It already has everything you need in it already 👍🏻
Nice work Mike even if it wasn't up to your usual standards! 👍👍😂😂😉😉
Can you place a second coating over this material ? I applied this on an old patio in two stages, and they don’t match up color wise.
Would anyone use a bonding agent prior to putting on the resurface ? Getting thoughts
Would this 4:38 work on a concrete front porch that has sunk down in front (no footing) and cracked apart in one corner as a result? Prior owners already painted or put something else (blue grey) on top. Can't find a contractor to replace it, so looking into options to repair that would hopefully last at least 1-2 years.
I want to make my porch look new again... it certainly seems like this is less likely to fail than concrete paint becausw it won't peel, thoughts?
If you have large cracks and holes between cement blocks can you still use this to patch and reinforce it?
I saw another video where they used this product to repair the cracks and crumbling concrete.
Very cool projects. That’s some amazing stuff. I can’t find any rapid set products in my area unfortunately.
@@tcbink Neither HD or Lowe's sell it near me.
@@HAXMAN
Talk you the HD associate at the Project Desk. Even though it's not in the store, they can order what you want and have it in the store in approximately a week.
Check out Portland cement at home Depot type 1 and type 2. And they might even have something in the tile flooring department with thin sets that you can work with outside
At first I was like... Did he say damn sponge?? 🤣
cool
Do you think that the process you used to do your logo could be altered and used with a sturdy plastic stencil and once the product is troweled on just lift the stencil? No duct tape needed …..
Can you add color to the mix?
Can this product be used to resurface a concrete pool?
Can this be used over parging?
Can you do one where you resurface and stamp the concrete pattern
More Maize!!
How do you get red dirt that has went into the concrete off?
Can you build up this product years in the future when it starts to wear again without having to scrape?
Can this be smooth bull float finished?
Thank goodness for sponges….they help hide all the imperfections!
Could you use this on a failing concrete patio that is about 70 years old?
Can you power wash it after completion
Knee pads Dude! Your knees will thank you.
Can you show please hot to refresh tired concrete porch with epoxy?
As another comment mentioned I’d like to know how it’s holding up after a year +
So, I did this last week, and it turned out like sh*t. LOL! You make it look so easy! But when you make mistakes in other videos, it looks very familiar to me :) It was probably just too warm and I should have added more water. I notice that manufacturers are starting to give a water ratio "range" now that is often up to 2 quarts range. I appreciate your videos though! Super helpful! I will be asking you a question on your basement waterproofing vid soon!
