Looks nice. What did you use for your stamp? Tell me about the concrete mix and coloring agents.
thanks,regular 25mpa concrete with a light grey coloring agent
bullfloated into,then hit with a steel trowel (after bleed water),
then a dark grey release agent is broadcasted over, then stamped
with some slate textured mats ....
I bought mats with out any grout pattern lines because I do not
trust my concrete finishing skills,so I went for the easiest way I
could think of.....well I guess hiring a legit concrete finisher woulda been
easier,lol.....
In hindsight I should of added a third colour (brown/red) for a
better look,maybe next time....
Those mats are expensive - aren't they? Or did you just buy one or 2. My concrete guy told me that a set cost him $1300 I think it was. That was they type with the "grout lines", and I think each mat has a different pattern of "stones". Matt
I only bought two mats-a 2' diameter and a 3' foot diameter-
for about $275 cnd....
or I coulda rented them,but that would be just logical....
