Concrete Overlay Tools: Must-haves

There's nothing worse than getting into the middle of a project and realizing you don't have all the materials or gadgets you need to finish it. This is especially true if you had planned to incorporate decorative techniques into your concrete overlay. Tools such as stamps, dyes, acid stains and spray textures should be determined well in advance on special projects such as this, since any errors in the process will be much more visible than mistakes in straight repairs. If possible, experiment with how these tools and products work on an inconspicuous site or a fresh pour that was created for the sole purpose of practicing technique. It may seem at first like a lot of steps to go through for a project, but the improvement it may make to your end result could make a huge difference in your satisfaction with the appearance.
