Review: Great Floor Prep Product - Spreads smoothly and dries nicely. Works well for small flooring prep and patching jobs.
Review: Awesome - I got this to level out some low spots on my floor before applying tounge and groove flooring! It is very easy to use just add water and go! You can add less water to make it thicker like peanut butter consistency, or add more water to thin it out to do more area or a nice smooth top coat! It is dark gray while wet but days to a light gray! It worked well being able to target low spots where needed and not use a self leveling product that covers tour entire floor! I recommend this to anyone!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can people share with me what sealers you used and if you would reccomend it? I'll be using the Ardex feather finish for counter tops. Thanks!**
A: I used an impregnator sealant because I didn't want shiny countertops. It didn't work as well as we'd hoped. :( I asked someone on Instagram who also had concrete counters (that looked gorgeous) what she used: Trewax Stone & Tile Finish. I'll be doing another coat in the next year or so and plan to use that.

**Q: Is the the GRAY finish? Also, anyone try this over ceramic tile?**
A: I had ceramic tile removed. Most of it popped out easily the areas that didn’t they cleaned off with a flat bladed electric jackhammer type thing. It was dusty. Cover everything! The stone tile job turned out beautifully.

**Q: The Amazon site says it covers 33.3 sq ft; the product info site says it covers 300 sq ft.  What do you think is right?**
A: 33.3 sf at 1/8" is accurate per manufacturer. Skim coat will yield 100-300 sf, but that is a very thin coat. It depends on what you are doing, in other words, but Amazon's number is accurate. Incomplete, but accurate for that thickness. As for using it on a counter top -- I wouldn't, as it is not designed for wear surfaces. They make other, harder products that might work for that and still be less difficult than concrete. This is not the right product, in my opinion.

**Q: Is it fire resistant?**
A: It does become brittle and starts peeling when exposed to high heat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NO SAND method for countertops/tabletops
*by C***A on November 3, 2019*

If this helps one DIYer then it is worth it! I would have loved having this information before starting this project. This was EASY and I finished it in a Saturday afternoon. After reading a dozen tutorials for ardex feather finish on countertops, I was ready to take the plunge and try on my less-risky wood table that needed refinishing anyways. My biggest concern was the amount of dust created by other tutorials involving a ton of sanding between coats and at the end of the process. As someone who has worked a lot with concrete, I just didn’t see why this was necessary! If concrete (cement) is applied properly, it should have a nice smooth surface on its own. Plus, I think the sanding takes away from the natural velvety finish of concrete and ends up looking too forced. Here’s what I did: 1) OK here’s where I did sand the table a little bit... you do want to rough up your surface so the cement has something to grab on to. This took me 3 minutes with a sanding sponge. 2) I didn’t use a huge trowel or professional float, I just used a 4 inch scraper because that’s what I had on hand, but I think this led to my smooth finish and no sanding needed because I was able to apply the product in thin coats using a lot of pressure since my tool has a thick sturdy blade. Your first coat: don’t fret about it too much. I mixed the feather finish to a peanut butter consistency and spread it on as smoothly as I could, making sure to work as cleanly as I could and not leave anything too rough. I’ve included photos of coats 1,2, and 3 so you can see it gets dramatically better as you go. 3) Let it dry until it makes a hard sound when you tap on it. Mix up less for your second coat, (and I hate to say a little bit thinner like pancake batter because I don’t want people to mix it too thin, but this worked for me) using firm pressure I applied a coat as thinly as I could. This really started to smooth things out. Each coat is easier and faster and smoother than the one prior. If you use a thick coat, you will probably have more unevenness that you will have to sand! Think THIN and pressure and keep your blade clean! I wiped off excess cement on dry areas if I felt like I was creating too many trowel lines. In between coats I would let things *almost completely dry* (not too soon or you’ll just add more texture) and then come back with a clean scraper and smooth out any ridges. No sanding needed and the finish looks more natural because I smoothed out any trowel lines this way. 3) Repeat until you have the coverage you need. I spent time with a small putty knife obsessing over the edges because I wanted the flat “slab” look and my wood tabletop had rounded edges. 4) I lightly lightly sanded the edges or any rough burrs with the sanding block at the very end once I was happy with the finish, creating less than a dime sized pile of dust after I swept it up. The tabletop is buttery smooth and not at all rough, and sealing it will only make it smoother. I really was just in awe of these other people who are blowing horrible cement dust all over their houses! 5) I will be sealing after a few days and will update my review to cover any durability issues. My only areas of concern are the corners that I really had to build up with a thicker amount of cement, we will see how these hold together.
