SureCrete's SureStamp™, a stamp concrete overlay is a stampable concrete material, cement-based topping for beautifying both interior and exterior concrete surfaces like stamping patios, pool decks and much more. SureStamp ST™ contains additives for slower cure times for warmer weather making it have a longer work time. Used on existing plain concrete, it creates textures that resemble a whole array of designs: tile, cut stone, slate, boardwalk, brick, cobblestone, etc. with traditional concrete stamping tools. Costly tear-out and replacement of existing concrete can be eliminated. A SureStamp™ stamp cement overlay offers restoration, repair, resurfacing, architectural accenting, and surface protection of existing concrete. SureBond™ (see TDS) a cement-based bonding agent, must be used in combination with SureStamp™ stamp floor overlay to achieve the ultimate adhesion essential in a stampable overlay. It is seasonally user-friendly, available in Summer and Winter mixes.

How Do You Apply SureCrete's stamp overlay Texture Bag Mix?
SureStamp can be manipulated for a wide range of finished textures, but here's how you get started:
Any surface receiving a cementitious coating must be clean, cured, sound and profiled. See our Surface Preparation products for more information on accomplishing this
Make sure that temperatures will remain between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit and there will be no precipitation in the applied areas for a 48 hour period following application.
Add Approx. 3.5 quarts water per 50 lb bag to 5 gal bucket and mix in any color desired for the integral coloring of SureStamp stamp cement overlay.
Slowly introduce SureStamp while continuously mixing and mix for a minimum of 1 minute once all product has been emptied into a container. Scrape the sides of the bucket to make sure there are no "dry pockets" that didn't get mixed properly.
Mist the surface of the concrete with water ahead of any areas about to receive SureStamp stamp overlay.
Before SureStamp can be applied, a coating of SureBond must be put down to ensure proper adhesion of the finished surface. Pour a generous ribbon of SureBond onto the surface and spread with squeegee over an area that corresponds to your next workable area of SureStamp
While the SureBond is still wet, pour the mixed SureStamp onto the surface.
Gauge rake the product to the appropriate height for selected texture/carving pattern (usually between 1/4" and 3/8").
Smooth the surface of product with a metal squeegee or similar tool.
Allow product to begin to dry, yet remain plastic. The surface will lose its wet sheen and yield to the touch with tiny, if any, sticking to the finger.
The surface is now ready to receive a stamp pattern or custom carving. Be sure to use a releasing agent on any tools used to manipulate the surface, and to clean releasing agents off of finished surface before next step.
Once the surface has dried and cured sufficiently (approx 6-8 hours), it can accept stains and secondary colorants and is also ready to receive a sealer. Typical outdoor applications would utilize an acrylic sealer from our SureSeal line of products.
