Second times the charm!!! We learned from our last mistake and this concrete cap turned out amazing!
What happens here
With the concrete surface thoroughly wet, activate the orbital sander (a DeWalt model is used here) and begin sanding. Apply consistent, even pressure as you move the sander across the surface in overlapping passes. It's important to continuously add more water to the surface as you sand to maintain the wet conditions, which helps create a concrete slurry. This slurry is essential for effective abrasion, minimizing airborne dust, and achieving a smoother finish. Work systematically across the entire surface.
Goal: Abrade and smooth the concrete surface using wet sanding technique.
Tools and materials
- Orbital Sander DeWalt — Abraiding and smoothing the concrete surface
- Plastic Bottle — Applying additional water during sanding
- Sandpaper — Attached to the orbital sander for abrasive action
- Water N/A — Lubrication and creating slurry
