zomex replied to the thread Small but awkward concrete pour.No that will be the last concrete for my house :)
-
No point screeding a little area like that anyway mate. Getting screed mix right can be a pita.
-
zomex replied to the thread Small but awkward concrete pour.What would have been the ideal mix for this? Or was my application the problem? I like to learn appreciate the feedback. My mix was a...

20 should be ok But the dark colour can make them expand. They can creek and crack (noise) when the sun hits them.
