In this video I’m going to show you how we resurfaced a concrete porch with a troweled concrete overlay. First we pressure washed the surface and then etched it with acid. Then we applied a slurry coat of Westcoat grout in a light gray color. This coat will become the grout line color in the finished product. We came back the next day and taped a slate pattern on the concrete. Once the slate stencil was on the concrete, we troweled another coat of Westcoat grout in a dark gray color on top of the tape. Once the concrete overlay was dry, we removed the tape pattern and applied two coats of Westcoat solvent based clear sealer.
