So my pool deck is currently painted but flaking very badly and needs repainted. What’s the best way to do this?

I don't get it. Your video actually has an old, exposed aggregate concrete parking lot where you filmed it. Why didn't to use that surface for your demonstration? Like others have offered, my 1974 pool deck looks exactly like your clip art, and I think it's time you provided a real-world demonstration. I can't use this product unless I see it being applied to a real-world example.

I am more interested in how the design was painted on the deck. What do I need to know?

How long have to wait between coats? With a 80 degrees. Thanks

What if you’re deck is already painted

Just finished a large pool and firepit deck area and could not be more pleased. The videos are amazingly helpful- watch them thoroughly, and follow the simple step process, and you will not be disappointed. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Hard work? Yes, but gratifying and well worth it. Also, kudos to Jeff for being so helpful and available whenever I had questions.

How long does the temp need to be 82 or below after you paint? If I paint in the morning at 80 and by noon its 95, that ok?

How long will a mixed batch of this last, say I can only paint half my project and then finish a week later with the other half, will the sealed bucket of mixed Cool still be good to work with?

How do you go about mixing the 1 gallon of paint for color to the 5 gallons? Do you do it all at once to keep it even and so you need at least a 6 gallon bucket? what is the process?

Will the product fill small cracks in the concrete

Couldn't you just pour it for a completely smooth finish?

Thank you for sharing this. I have an outdated aggregate pebble deck. I want to apply cool crete over it.

Can this be put on driveways?

Hi Jeff! Thanks for this video. I’m located in Tucson. My kooldeck is in decent shape, it’s an ugly color though and I want to coat it with your product. I did the tap test and it all seems to be structurally sound. There are a couple of minor areas that need patched. What is the best way to do that? Do you have any recommendations for me for products or sources?

You talk toooooo much.get to the point

Can I apply this to a previously painted knockdown texture deck? I got the deck wet and water doesnt dry

Can this be used on a regular aggregate pathway?

Well I will find it and make a purchase

Hideous look. Slapping lip[stick on a pig does not make it a model.

Has anyone ever used this to paint a stucco house? I'm looking to reflect as much uv as possible to reduce air conditioning cost

Will this work over exposed aggregate concrete? I’m assuming a couple of coats? Just work it’ll crack.

I’m grinding off knockdown to bare concrete before applying Cool. Some areas grind down easily other areas do not. Is there a trick to getting the knockdown off in stubborn areas? Will Cool adhere if there is a thin layer of knockdown left behind and if so will it show through after applying Cool?

I'm trying to understand how this saves money, as I would like to use this for my 5500 sq ft aggragete driveway. This is what I have gathered so far. For the job shown for this video, it took 64 units (buckets) of Cool Coating @ $250 a bucket at Lowes = $16,000. Additionally, you need to buy a 1 gallon bucket of paint for each Cool Coat unit, so in the example for this video, another 64 gallons of paint, 64 gallons of paint @ $30 a gallon = $1,920. I don't know what the customer paid for labor, but we're at $18,000 for just the material before all other things considered with labor and additional material. I have received quotes to resurface my 5500 sq ft driveway in the range of $25,000-$30,000. IMO, I would rather pay a little more to have it fully resurfaced correctly than to paint over aggregate. Please let me know what I'm missing here, as I would like to use this product if suitable for my job. Thank you for any feedback!

Can you paint this over a painted surface that is aggregate

I like the stonework better. Make a clear epoxy that can be applied to the surface that makes it less sharp and cooler but retains the color of the stones. I think using a clear epoxy on top very thick would make it cooler and less sharp but keep the cool pebble pattern on there. I know you think it is dated but it really isn't. Those types of surfaces like exposed aggregate are timeless when done correctly.

What if you have the first 2 layers down and it rains what does it look like? Do I need to need to to wait longer before I seal? I know I have to wait until it’s completely dry before applying the sealer coats.

i have a colored faded salt finish deck will this work over it?

how long does this last on a deck that you always hae water with chlorine splashing on? and can you touch up later with no prep just brush on or does the colar fade over time?

Very informative video. I am in the decorative concrete line of work and was looking for instructions like this. We have a job coming up in a few weeks using this application. I will be calling you about the products and the application process. Thanks.

If I’m done with the first coat and I wanted to switch colors is that possible to do on the 2nd coat?

So when applying over an old deck would it be necessary to grind down the surface as you would when applying new epoxy coating over an old epoxy coating?

We have river rock and it was horrible. We made the mistake of putting a cement overlay on it. That is now popping off. Will this help?

Doing the triple crown today and the coating tomorrow. Thankful for a break in the Texas heat wave. Think i got all the info i need from your videos.

we have two courtyard patios with this stuff and the pebbles are just rolling off all over the place...but still plenty of the sharp stuff on most of it. Should I try to scrape off as many loose pebbles as possible or just blow what's come loose off then apply this stuff? The courtyards are internal so getting the whole thing replaced would require some kind of major overhaul

Sounds like it works like epoxy

Can this be put on top of concrete painted pool deck?

Can this product be applied over plywood for an uncovered balcony?

Most of my concrete is good to go but I used some concrete vinyl patch in a couple spots and it seems to have a white residue. Do I need a densifier for this? Can I use a cheaper one like Sila-Tek 3500?

I have a question I did my pull with your cool back. It came out nice but my wife hates the color I did. The first color hated it, so we changed it. Now the second color she hates. What can I do now?

Jeff, how soon after the clear coat can you put furniture and weight on it?

All of your videos are SPOT ON! You give excellent step-by-step DiY guidance. If someone watches your videos and can't do this, that's fine, but if I were them, I wouldn't tell anyone, and I would even take a driving class because I bet you find yourself being honked at daily for reasons you have yet to understand. Having said that, I have probably opened myself up for some verbal assault! Jeff, I wish you would have included in this video the sixth thing that will wreck a coating project: the selection of the wrong color. Thankfully on this platform, I can openly lay fault and blame accurately on my wife. She would be a better person if Maybelline came with a direction video. Shy of scraping all of it up with a 3-inch scraper, how can I correct that? I completed my project about 2 weeks ago.

How does this product do in areas where there are freezing winters? Does it move with expansion?

Jeff, what if the cool deck has already been painted, do I need to do any other prep before coating aside from the triple crown? The existing paint is not chipping and has great adhesion, its just fading in spots and I want a lighter color. Please advise.

can I splash cool deck right after pouring air entrapped concrete? Please advise

Can I fly you out to utah so you can do my pool deck? I pay well lol let me know

I love the color! Can you share the name and what paint store?

I just wanted to if you could answer a question I have a aggregate concrete and I had to pour another piece of concrete on the back side and it ended up being smooth When I put the cool back on or can I make it all look the same

I USED ENCORE ( COOL). NEVER USED IT BEFORE. MY FRIEND CHRIS'S POOL DECK WAS IN BAD SHAPE. HAD DIG OUT AND PATCH KNOCKDOWN TEXTURE FIRST- HARD PART. FOLLOW JEFF'S HOW TO VIDEO- VERY EASY - LOOKS GREAT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND COOL. YA'LL WON'T BE SORRY!

I live in Florida. A popular thing here years ago was a pebble finish over concrete mostly brown pebbles. Really ugly but likely expensive stuff. Do you know if your product will work on that type surface?

Can I use the triple crown left to regular clean my deck after COOL! has been applied?
