Second times the charm!!! We learned from our last mistake and this concrete cap turned out amazing!

What happens here

Begin by ensuring the concrete surface is clean of any loose debris. Then, liberally apply water to the entire concrete surface using a plastic bottle or a hose. Keeping the surface consistently wet is crucial for effective wet sanding, as it helps lubricate the abrasive, prevents dust generation, and carries away concrete particles, forming a slurry.

Goal: Ensure the concrete surface is adequately wet for sanding.

Tools and materials

  • Plastic Bottle — Applying water to the concrete surface
  • Concrete Surface N/A — The surface to be sanded

It gets so bad, I gotta run through it. It really keeps getting through it, especially now it's like, it's getting really good. I'm gonna make it through. I'm gonna make it through. I'm gonna make it through. I'm gonna make it through.
