Speaker 1 (00:03):
The best way to wake up in the morning, a
hot cup of coffee and Brian Thomas Monday morning at
five on fifty five KRZ the talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, you're at home.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
With Gary Salvin and it's time for our project of the week. Now,
take a look at some of the concrete surfaces.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Just kind of imagine them around your home, the patty.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Of the garage floor, the sidewalks, probably some pits, probably
some discoloration, probably some cracks. And we talk a lot
about crack fillers and different things, but there's there's a
particular product I want to talk about today. It's rock
patch and it's totally different than what you're used to

(00:47):
us talking about. So joining me is our friend Peter
Dice from Dice Codings.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Peter, how are you.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Good morning Gary. I'm doing great.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
How are you doing? Wonderful? We got some beautiful weather today,
so life is good.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It is definitely good.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
So Peter maybe give an overview of what rock patch is.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Rock Patch is a one hundred percent stone coating that
you would use. It's a filler, leveler and resurfacer. So basically,
if you have any concrete that has holes, cracks, maybe
some widespread pitting, maybe in your garage for instance, anywhere

(01:33):
where you just want to fix and refurbish that surface.
This is your alternative to having to create, you know,
clouds of dust and mixing water and constantly remixing things
to get more of it to cover a large area.
This is something that is a ready to go pre

(01:56):
mixed system. It's in the in the bucket. You open
it up, give it a quick stir, and you just
spread it on and you push it into the holes
and into the cracks and it can not only you know,
fix some of those flaws, but you could even use
it as a complete resurfacer over a whole area using

(02:20):
a little squeegee trowel, so you can completely resurface and
give it a whole new poored concrete look. Or you
can just fix the odd place prior to putting a
decorative coating on, and that way nothing will visually show through.
And the beauty of it is you don't need to
worry about mixing. You know, I don't want to have

(02:41):
to sit there and you know, make sure I've got
the right amount of powder and the right amount of water,
and I've mixed it right, and all of that stuff
because sometimes that can go sideways.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Sure, this is designed to make it easy, right.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
So I got a lot of questions that I'm sure
a lot of my listeners are thinking about right now.
First of all, it sounds like a wonderful, wonderful product.
Second of all, we've got to get this stuff in
stores where people can run up and get some. I know,
we can get this online, and we're going to talk
about that. But you know, one of the questions I
get asked more than anything on this show. It's either

(03:17):
decks or it's concrete. You know, the pitting, the crack.
And one thing concrete's guaranteed to do is crack. One
thing that's guaranteed to do is pit is eventually ugly
is out. It doesn't always wear out. And this is
non cementatious. So the first question is how about color.
I know color varies in concrete from you know, Georgia

(03:41):
to New York to California to the Midwest. They all,
is it alight gray or where is the color distinction here?

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yes, it's it's a light gray, not super super light,
but by no means dark. It's very mid tone to light. Okay,
it's very horable as a color, and there are also
some additional colors that are going to be added in
the next few months as well. But yeah, basically you're

(04:12):
you're right. I mean, concrete will ugly out and and
you know need some some refurbishment, and that's what this
will do.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
How about bonding, I know concrete doesn't like to stick
to concrete, but your rock patch isn't concrete.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
That's right, and it will bond beautifully and it'll lock in.
The key though, is that if you're going to be
doing this, you do want to give it a quick
wash first. You want to make sure that there's no
dirt that's impeding the anchoring and the bond into the
pores of the surface. So that's easy. You just give
it a quick wash, make sure it's dry, and then

(04:50):
you just you you apply your your new surface or
fill your holes or your cracks, and it drives pretty
quick and you didn't have to worry about, you know,
the cloud of dust or the other thing is too
since there's no actual cement in this material. Let's say
that you have a garage floor and you happen to

(05:12):
be in a state where you get snow and there's
salt that's put on the roads and things like that.
Salt loves to eat concrete, it loves to pit concrete.
Oh yeah, So you know the idea there, for instance,
is if you have a garage floor, give it a
good pressure wash, get all that stuff out of there.

(05:34):
But then you put this on, it'll fill it and
it will not pit, and it will not get damaged
by any salt later that comes down onto that floor.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
And you don't need to seal it, right.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I would seal it, I would see it, I would
seal it right. So basically the reason for that is, yes,
you know it'll stand up to stuff, but at the
same time you also want it to stay as clean
as possible, make it look new. So basically, if you've
resurfaced the floor, okay, and you put the sealur on,

(06:11):
you've got a lock there, it's there, it's not going
to allow any dirt to grab on. It's going to
stay clean, it's going to stay new looking. And if
it's just a patch, maybe you're putting in epoxy or
something over it. But now you've got a perfectly smooth,
pristine surface to put that coating over.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Excellent.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
So another question, I always have lots of questions for you, Peter,
because you are the answer man.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
One of the questions I get asked a lot is the.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Expansion joints in between slabs of concrete. Over time, you know,
the movement of the soil beneath it, those expansion joints crack,
some weeds grow up, and you got to clean that out.
I'd always tell people, and I have told people forever,
don't patch that with concrete because it's going to crack
out because it's moving. And I always talk about using

(07:00):
a eurothane self leveling cocking.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Can you use.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Rock patch in that area, in that open expansion joint?

Speaker 3 (07:11):
You can, But at the end of the day, what
you really want to do is if you have a nice,
clean expansion joint line which is not ugly, I mean
it's it's there for a purpose, it looks very neat
and tidy, I would just leave it there, so I
would coat everything. But I would take that travel for instance,

(07:32):
and I would just cut along that line just to
keep it open, so that that way, if any of
the slabs want to move around, as they will tend
to do with expansion contraction, freeze thaw, they'll just do
their thing and nothing is ever going to be you
know that place. Everything is going to stay looking great.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, well I tell people just even to put sand
in it.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
You can do that, sure, but you know other than that,
you know, if you've got an clean line there, leave
a clean line. There's nothing terribly wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Is the rock patch when you're talking about doing a coding,
because that's a whole another area, and the rock patch
seems to satisfy that. Is it self leveling or do
you trial it out or how's the application on network?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Basically when you travel it, or you can use a
squeege trial which we have where you can get you know,
in a bunch of places from a standing position. You
just spread it on. And the key with this is
use a little bit of pressure while you're doing it.
So in other words, when you put this on, you're
going to press firmly so that the rock patch goes

(08:47):
in and locks onto everything. You don't leave a lot
of voids and air pockets underneath. You just press firmly
and you just make it connect with the surface that's there,
and you just make it smooth. When you put it on,
it goes on like butter. It's beautiful to apply you're
not struggling. You just open up the can and just

(09:08):
spread it on. It goes on like a dream, and
at that point you leave it just the way that
you want it, so that if you're going to be
putting a coating over top, as you've mentioned, now you've
got a surface that isn't going to be transmitting any
kind of texture or any unsightly stuff or even for instance,
if you try putting let's say, an epoxy over a

(09:30):
floor that has cracks in it. For instance, if you
do that, the epoxy will go on, but in some
places you're going to see that crack wanting to transmit
through and just show It's not that you're still going
to have a crack, but you're going to see that
minor indentation there. So with rock Patch, once you've done that,

(09:50):
it drives quick. It's an odorless, easy water based application.
Now you've got a perfectly smooth, pristine surface. When you
put that coding over top, it's going to look like
a million bucks. It's going to be smooth, it's going
to look great. None of what you had there before
is going to be showing through, and it's just going
to be perfect.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Can I use the rock patch and then put like
safe track the clear ceiling over it and just let
it be.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Absolutely it's a beautiful surface. So if you've got a
porch or a slab or a patio, you don't want
to do anything other than just fill any of the
cracking or the pitting that you've got there, and you
want to leave it smooth and just a nice, appealing,
soft gray. You just put on the rock patch and

(10:38):
then twenty four hours later you apply the track safe sealer,
and you have an anti slip, beautiful surface that's protected
from dirt or any kind of stains, and it'll just
look like a brand new slab and it will stay
looking that way for a good long time and you
don't need to worry about salt.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
How about oil stains? Is the rock patch resistant to
chemical damage?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
It is. It is resistant to that. But at the
same time, if you're going to be having a bunch
of chemicals around, all the more reason why you're going
to be sealing it. That's feeling that you apply is
going to be that second layer of protection. So it's
going to stay looking great, it's going to repel the stains,
it's going to be solid, it's made of stone, and

(11:26):
you know it'll work with you and it'll live with you.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
So the die Hard, you know, industrial epoxy floor coating
that we've talked about several times in the last couple
of months, that can be applied over the rock Patch also,
and how's that going.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
It's going fantastic. It's a really great product. The die Hard,
as we've discussed previously, it's an industrial strength epoxy coating
and you apply that and you know, if you happen
to have a forklift that's your home, well you're all
set because it's very very, very very durable. So I mean,

(12:05):
it looks beautiful. It's got a nice sheene, it's very
showroomy looking. So it's beautiful in your garage. But you
can also use it in your in your factory, you
can use it in your commercial property, in your warehouse.
You can use it everywhere. But the beauty is that,
for instance, if you had used rock patch first because
the floor wasn't looking great, you apply the die Hard

(12:28):
over top, and die Hard, by the way, it has
a lot of body to it, so it's not like
a thin water based epoxy paint. When you put this on,
it will even partially fill cracks and things itself. So
you put this on your surface, you're going to have
a very very hard work, hard wearing surface. Sure, and

(12:51):
it's gonna you know, outperform perhaps other things that you've
used before.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Well.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
A lot of options for garage floors, a lot of
options for crack fillers.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
You're this is unique. Is it sold in quarts? Gallons?
Five gallons? How's it sold?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well? The die Hard two gallon kit is just basically
a big old box. It's got all the stuff in there.
It also includes flakes if you want to put flakes
on your floor. It's cleaner in there. And the the
double kit that we're offering now is retailing. You can

(13:27):
get it through Home Depot for one hundred and fifty
nine dollars and basically you know, just apply that. That'll
cover you know, five hundred square feet, okay, and you're
good to go.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Very good. How about the rock patch for patching.

Speaker 3 (13:46):

home Depot and Lows. Same goes with Diehard also at Low's.
