finish. It is placed just prior to the final floating while the concrete is
still plastic and prior to the final set allowing steel trowel finishing.
With age, the floor surface is hard and will shine up like it has been
polished.
I keep lauding Kalman, but they do it right. Their guys use a wheel borrow
full of the magic trap rock "monocoat" and then the guys will take a square
point shovel and uniformly scatter the stuff on to the surface. They will
then do a final floating of the surface which distribute the stuff onto and
into the surface.
This product is best applied by experienced flatwork finishers.
