    garage resurfacing

    The reason it's is rough is because I laid the cement all product and lay on top of it. I don't feel like renting a concrete grinder to take that cement all product. At this point, I'm ready to be done. And yes. It's pretty thick. And the next project will be painting the driveway and seal it...

    garage resurfacing

    Bought it and tried it . No go. It's the same thing as the quikrete resurfacer except it's cheaper. Still has sand residue on the end after trowelling. I ended up using the leveling kit and 30 bucks a bag.
