Patio and bar build

[Salty nurse]

First I pressure washed it. Then laid down a resurfacer - kind of like thin set, mix with water then trowel over existing concrete. I used an acid stain from Sherwin Williams. Then sealed it using solvent based concrete sealer. Don't get the cheap stain at lowes or Home Depot. Trust me, you will regret it.

That resurfacer sounds like a good idea. I really like the looks of the acid stains but was told that because the deck was previously cleaned with muriatic acid the acid stains would not do very well. The resurfacer should fix that problem though. Is the resurfacer a commonly available product?
