How to remove/fix wet look sealer on concrete
Comments (6)Hold up! Don't put a stripper on this. Your sealer has bonded to your concrete and if you do this you are compromising the top layer of your concrete. jamyhead will find out what happens in a few years. When concrete finishers "float" the concrete back and forth during the finishing phase of concrete placement, they are bringing up the fine particles and moving the large particle down inside the mix. If you strip the sealer, you compromise the top layer. Go back to where you bought Behr and ask them for a slip resistant additive. If they don't have it, go to a specialty paint store. You probably purchased this at Home Depot. They won't have what you are looking for. Go to a Porter Paint or other specialty. Make sure you bring a can you used. You want to use the same product type as before. This will keep your wet look and make it slip resistant....See MoreHow To Fix Damaged Concrete Step (Main Door)
Comments (2)First you'll need to vacuum or remove any loose concrete from that area. You may need to sand the area around the crack, to give it some texture so that you can feather out the patching material. Here's one products we've used but there are many others out there.

Comments (15)As ugly as it is...it is fully functional. It didn't cost you a DIME! Well...actually it did. It is built into the cost of your mortgage. Hmmm. Which means you will be paying for it for 25 years or so...oh never mind. You are about to have PLENTY of work going on very soon. You are on a budget which means you do not want to spend money on this little area. Fine. Understandable. The CHEAPEST thing you can do = nothing. You will spend a few hundred dollars on this little area only to find out you have to REDO IT in 5 years anyway. So why spend those dollars today? Renovations are an EXPENSIVE and EXHAUSTING undertaking. You NEVER know what you are about to unearth. I tell my peeps to "Assume 30% over budget and 30% more time than you expect." On one or two occasions they have come in 'under' the 30% extra (ie. they were STILL over budget...just not so much). The cost of lumber is about to skyrocket. Why? Because Canadian mills have been shutting down at a record setting pace because CHINA is all hissy-spitty with us (Canada). And China is about to get hissy-spitty with the USA because of Huawei being considered a 'danger' to the US's cyber security. Blah blah blah. So...even if ALL the Canadian mills (and there are HUNDREDS OF THEM then that closed years ago) are up and running TOMORROW it will still take months if not a year (possibly two) to get the stock piles back to where they were before the 2008 World Economy issue. Which means the $1 you have to spend will only buy $0.50 worth of stuff at the end of your project. In other words...keep the money in the bank. You never know when you will need those few hundred dollars. (hint: usually after a pipe bursts)...See MoreHU-793773840
