i want to make my small concrete projects lighter. does this work?

it does not change the final weight. it's usually added to make the material stronger. I use it for hypertufa/light weight concrete; portland cement, peat moss, perlite and/or vermiculite.

Unfortunately it does not. It strengthens th concrete. You will as well see the "Fuzzy" fibers sticking out of the cement. A look i do not like.

You add this to concrete as your mixing it. It helps with cracking in the first 48 hours. You can use it with just about any concrete mix if I understand your question..

Using this drill with concrete drill bits would work for small projects. Heavy drilling should be done with a larger and heavier duty drill.

Hi, try to mix smaller amount , powder and concrete, and see. That is what I would do. It could work, my only concern is color of concrete , if concrete would be transparent, but it is not.Just try small amount, I have faith, that it could work.

no you cannot. you need a drill with a carbide tip for concrete. The best for concrete is a hammer drill and carbide bits.

Yes. The manual calls for it. I used it in my installation and I cannot see going smaller.

I have not done this, but from my experience using it for wood, if the underlying surface is flat and smooth, then it should work.If the concrete has a rough or dimpled surface, then it will not work well at all. I would use a wire brush in that case.

Yes! I liked the idea & just tried it. It does make it a little heavier though.

The tool will work, but it won't have half as much power as it should. The tool will require more cfm.

Yes if the mortar is soft as it should be. Suggest taking the claw of a hammer and scraping both regular concrete in the mortar. If a lot of mortar scrapes off and you see it probably this will work

That would work, but... please understand that the cable in this unit is THICK. It will take quite a bit of mortar to embed it. Do you really want to build up a half an inch of mortar on hardy board? I ended up cutting channels in a concrete floor using a diamond grinding wheel embedding the cable in the channels and then pouring the floor level with self-leveling concrete. It did work, but I would not do it again.If you are a beginner, I would HIGHLY recommend using one of the many excellent but more expensive mat kits. The mats are MUCH thinner and much, much easier to work with.I will also add that the thermostat in this kit does not fit any standard North American electrical box.

The grout mixer is very heavy duty and works extremely well. The real issue might be making certain your drill is sturdy enough to handle mixing concrete.

all we used it for is putting expansion joints in our concrete. Sorry not really the answer you are looking for you.

I haven't really lbeen happy with my max extract since I got it. I really don't think it will work on concrete at all.

Not certain, since I use mine on a concrete surface. I think the answer depends on if you have water pooling or not. If yes, then I would guess it's worth a try and I would expect it to work. If no pooling water, and the soil is just damp, then the answer is going to be depend to your particular situation (how much moisture there is).

I am not a seller, was a user. This is a product for small make-over stuff. For New construction use the "602" Google this How-To: Using a Foam It 602 Low Pressure Kit | Spray Foam Direct

I have used it and it worked, but it wasn't concrete. It was drywall, wood, and metal vents (yeah... they peed INTO an air duct vent... jerks).
