    Concrete finishers spray coke onto newly poured and troweled concrete to eat off the top layer before hosing it off to make exposed aggregate finish.

    Man, no they don't. Really? Like a larger pump spray bottle or cannister?

    I just had stamped concrete done ... The only thing I noticed was some color powder applied to match the house ... And the rain washed it away soon after.
    Look in the back of the concrete truck for a 5 gallon pump sprayer. Ask the contractor what he uses it for.

    It sounds like you bought colored stamped finish, not EX Agg
    Yah, we went stamped, not exposed aggregate.

    I guess the contactor buys coke from Walmart or Costco or something?

    "Honey, going to Costco for a couple hundred flats of coke, you want a churro?"

    Well anything mildly acidic would work. Coke happens to be cheap and available.

    Cool - where are you right now ? I will take everything you have in stock...

    I know you think I said "a lot" - no, I said all of it, the entire inventory

    Real contractors use salt. And if you don't get the color mixed in the concrete you might as well buy from the gypsy that has some left over concrete and will do your driveway for you at a discount

    Whoever figures out how to cross breed mountain dew with weed is going to be a very rich man.

    True. It degrades over night. Concrete might actually last
