Answered

What is a good product to mix with a cement sealer for a stamped concrete pool deck ALREADY Sealed 5 years ago, and again 2 years ago? (I'm curious if QUIKRETE 10-oz Terra Cotta Cement Mix Color would mix well with the sealer?)

Are you looking to alter the color or improve it? You may be better off calling Quickrete hot line number and ask them directly. I would be concerned that it may not work.

Evening Woodbridge... thanks for replying..... JUST improving it... when it is wet, it looks pretty good, but there are a couple areas that are ?fading?, warn from the cover springs?

Might be difficult to blend in color so not so sure that would work. I understand about the wear where the springs for cover go. Next fall put some plastic or thin plywood under them so it does not keep wearing out. Have you done a google search for repairs on stamped cement finishes? Check out this youtube video on sealing and restoring.

  @Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com : I've been researching sealer and transparent stains. I talked with Sherman Williams too. I had a cement guy a couple years ago, test a couple squares in the stamped concrete and intended to get him back, but his price is way up there now.
