Can you turn normal concrete into exposed aggregate?

• <div><p>You can apply an exposed aggregate finish to existing traditional concrete, but you’ll need to resurface the concrete and include aggregate in the top layer of concrete.

Q: How long do I need to stay off of concrete after sealing?

• <div><p>As a general rule of thumb, allow 24 hours for penetrating sealers to cure and at least 48 hours of drying time for most topical sealers. Always check the instructions for the sealing product you&rsquo;re using to determine the drying time.</p></div>

Q: How long does stamped concrete last?

• <div><p>The average stamped concrete patio lasts about 10 to 15 years.
