hello,

i would be looking at something like ARDIT/ARDEX floor toppings

there both the same thing, they are around $50/20kg

they have industrial toppings which can handle forklift traffic etc and can be put on down to about 2-3mm in thickness

they do set extremely quickly and is advisable to do in small sections at a time

like a footpath make feature/movement lines

with any concrete mixture, drying color can be an issue and comes down to how much water you add, how stiff the mix is, air temperature etc

it is adviable to do everything in one day if possible and not on a cool day

mix correctly each batch

thankyou

It used to come in squeeze bottles similar to the aquadhere bottles only green. A small squeeze bottle would do but personally I'd just stick to the cement/water as you are on a tight budget.

I thought that Bondcrete was just PVA the same as Aquadhere. It says on their website that it contains an 'exclusive resin', but that could be a bit of BS sales talk, meaning that some dude has picked the snotty resin out of his nose and thrown it in the Bondcrete vat.
I've used Bondcrete to glue timber before and I've used Aquadhere as a render bond if I didn't have any Bondcrete handy, but I could be just an idiot.
It could be a case of "You might as well take my advice,,, I'm not using it at the moment"

Boof, I recon that you are worrying too much.

At the end of the day its only a concrete path and after a 6 months all concrete looks the same.
The different shades of grey will fade to the same colour and the gravel that is expossed will get covered with dirt so my advise.....

Just let it age...its just something that you walk on.
