I made many mistakes in the making of this video, but I'm someone who believes that if you wait for circumstances to be ideal, you will be waiting until your death! So I made peace with my decision and uploaded it anyway. Though a terrible video as far a editing and quality is concerned, I hope you still enjoyed it and learned something! Please share this video on your social media! Thanks!

-At 1:52 that clip wasn't supposed to be there... oops
-Like I put in the beginning disclaimer, I am not responsible for any mistakes you might make if you attempt this yourself. It's not easy work and so much trial & error went into me getting this good at it.
-People always ask how long it lasts, but the answer depends on a hundred variables. I just say, it wont deteriorate all at once; it will deteriorate slowly over the course of 2 to 5 years, but it might not be ugly enough to recoat until about 8 to 10 years.
-In the video, I actually watered-down the primer coat more than I usually do. Don't water it down quite as much as you see me doing in this video. I'd say roughly 70% epoxy, 30% water is just fine.
you power wash that one time its done also after one cold and worm season chance its cracked again ....waste of time and money unless ur selling the house trying to rip someone off ..lol
@@ronmit-p5g You're not supposed to pressure wash painted driveways. I make sure to tell all my clients that.
@@claybannermasonryGreat work, what do you charge for a driveway like the one in the video?
@@RoscoPColtrane17 That size, about $2,500 or so.
@@claybannermasonry I understand. Thank you for responding. Great work, wish your company well.
Awesome job Clay! I just finished my driveway since you were too busy to come up to Seattle.
Thanks once again
Awesome video, I wish you were in Florida so I could hire you to do a similar repair, sadly my days of back bending are over.
I would have liked to have seen a list of products you used.
I did just like you did and it works thank you
I’m tired 😂😂😂😂 😂 he is patient and hardworking
Awesome video and thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is something I've been wanting to do for a few years now and I think this summer it will happen. What brand and type of mortar did you use for filling in the larger gaps?
Great Video! Wish you were closer to us (Seattle area)!
What if…
You ground the concrete surface with a diamond concrete grinding wheel?.
THEN? coat it.
& I “get” that epoxy yellows when exposed to UV sunlight however-
What if…
You broadcast a grey or speckled vinyl flake to provide a little bit of distracting texture?.
Also? There is acid-etch & perhaps even a stain that might work as a base.
Awesome video
I’ll need to do this over a period of days - even weeks, depending on the weather and other commitments. And because the driveway is in constant use, I’ll have to do one side and let it completely cure before doing the other side. Do you see any problems with this approach?
Can this be done for older tennis courts?
What do you charge for something like that? I own a pressure washing and staining and sealing business and I would like to add that
How long this will be last? There are not strong bond in the cracks.
Question: can this process be used on a concrete drive that are slabs separated by pressure treated 2x4s? Can the 2x4s be covered. On ours they put concrete nails throughout the boards. Very difficult to remove.
To my surprise; yes! I've done that before and it works just fine. 😊
What is the custom mix for the mortar?
Have you ever used cement all to fill the large cracks? Do you still use the same valspar driveway paint you used in the first resurfacing video that went viral?
Did it last?
Would an oil based stain be more durable?
Some big cracks in that driveway. We’re they addressed? 🇦🇺👍🍺
Is this in a climate that gets snow, ice and salt?
The resurfacer play lil pop and crack off in time
What epoxy and primer did u use for this project I’m thinking about doing something like this ?
BEHR one-part epoxy is the way to go! :)
Nice job
What mortar do you use?
The big chunks of mortar will never hold up over time. It will shrink then crack then start popping off.
That's only the case if you use the wrong mortar. Plus, covering crack repairs with epoxy greatly prevents the new mortar from popping out. My crack filling work has handled harsh winters and never bursted out.
that would last 1 winter in the UK, the ice would break the concrete.
Winter in UK, maybe on the North. Because on The South is no proper winter, just rain.
👍👍👍
This is going to fail almost instantly. Don’t do this.
What was done wrong? Thanks in advance. I was about to do this
You have to grind off the surface concrete so the new concrete will bond cleaning it with water won’t work
How about acid wash?@@30guarino
What would you recommend to grind it? @@30guarino
Rip it out and redo it
$8k+ for that size depends on where you live.
Worse Paint Ever,
Peeling Soon
I Bought It And Only
Wasting Money And Time.
Amén.
Would this work on painted surfaces or what you recomend I really like your work . Thanks
This is great! Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise.
You betcha 😊
Bro thank you for putting this up!! Appreciate you!! What do you do in the winters?
No problem! I'm happy to help! :)
I work indoors during the winter. Sometimes simple interior painting, but also indoor plaster. If I am outdoors during the winter, it's just slower work. Other than that, more time indoors means more dedication to the white collar/book-keeping aspects of business as well as the RUclips channel.
Where I live, a concrete with settling cracks (as you show in this video) would re-crack just few weeks after resurfacing. So now i am upfront with customers and tell them to keep into account the possibility of seeing again this cracks, but smaller than they where before.
Nothing replaces a base or primer coat. For any type of this work outside or inside. Good job. Using Epoxy is a little bit overkill, but the stuff is durable.
Can you get a color that looks more like real fresh concrete?
Just got onto your channel. Very informative. Thanks I’ll give mine a go.
What’s an approximate cost per square foot for a driveway like this? or a price range per square foot?
$4 to $5 per square foot :)
looks horrible
Man came out good, but honestly is a waste, that paint is trash , it peals easy and would get dirty just by walking.
