Review: Awesome - I got this to level out some low spots on my floor before applying tounge and groove flooring! It is very easy to use just add water and go! You can add less water to make it thicker like peanut butter consistency, or add more water to thin it out to do more area or a nice smooth top coat! It is dark gray while wet but days to a light gray! It worked well being able to target low spots where needed and not use a self leveling product that covers tour entire floor! I recommend this to anyone!
Review: amazing product to resurface fireplace - After seeing some youtube videos that used this product for faux concrete counters, I decided to try it on my fireplace. I was able to put it directly over my old ugly tiles with no prep other than a quick wipe-down with a wet rag. It is very easy to mix with just some water. I used a plastic takeout container, put about 1 cup of powder and poured a little water at a time and mixed it with a disposable spoon until it resembled brownie batter. Each small batch gave me about 20 minutes of working time. I was able to get it on and smooth it very well with just a spackling knife. My fireplace required 3 thin coats and no sanding was ever needed. I used up maybe 1/3 of the bag for my fireplace. Now i have a concrete looking fireplace. Very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend this product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can people share with me what sealers you used and if you would reccomend it? I'll be using the Ardex feather finish for counter tops. Thanks!**
A: I used an impregnator sealant because I didn't want shiny countertops. It didn't work as well as we'd hoped. :( I asked someone on Instagram who also had concrete counters (that looked gorgeous) what she used: Trewax Stone & Tile Finish. I'll be doing another coat in the next year or so and plan to use that.

**Q: Is the the GRAY finish? Also, anyone try this over ceramic tile?**
A: I had ceramic tile removed. Most of it popped out easily the areas that didn’t they cleaned off with a flat bladed electric jackhammer type thing. It was dusty. Cover everything! The stone tile job turned out beautifully.

**Q: The Amazon site says it covers 33.3 sq ft; the product info site says it covers 300 sq ft.  What do you think is right?**
A: 33.3 sf at 1/8" is accurate per manufacturer. Skim coat will yield 100-300 sf, but that is a very thin coat. It depends on what you are doing, in other words, but Amazon's number is accurate. Incomplete, but accurate for that thickness. As for using it on a counter top -- I wouldn't, as it is not designed for wear surfaces. They make other, harder products that might work for that and still be less difficult than concrete. This is not the right product, in my opinion.

**Q: Is it fire resistant?**
A: It does become brittle and starts peeling when exposed to high heat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful product to use!
*by P***N on December 13, 2017*

WOW! This was a learning experience / adventure for me!! We live in a 30 year old mobile home. We previously had a "rock" fireplace with a hearth that was raised about 6" off the floor with large stones on top. The mantle was rough cedar, and above the hearth, it was that tacky paper-laminated excuse for panelling. We replaced the panelling with sheetrock; we taped & embedded & textured the walls. We removed the "rock" as well as the entire hearth. I cut and secured the thin hardy board to the wall for the fireplace surround, using screws. I sealed the seams with fiberglass (sheetrock) tape, and I painted them with red sealant. I used this Feather Finish with some cement colorant from Home Depot, and I applied about 7 coats to the front of our fireplace surround. I need to figure out how to add pictures, because it turned out great in our opinion. NO, I had no previous experience with cement, but I have done quite a bit of sheetrock repair and floating of mud in this lovely money pit! (lol) The only reason for so many coats is that colorant makes the cement or feather finish product CHANGE COLORS as it dries, and it dries almost as fast as plaster of paris. You have to work soooo fast, but when you start at one point and go all the way around the fireplace, you end back up at your starting point, right? Since the feather finish mixture is almost dry at this point, and since the colorant changes colors as it dries, you end up with two totally different colors touching each other. It took me a while to figure out how to make this work. I had to start at the top center of the surround and work down from there down both directions! That part was NOT easy. You have to work fast, but this way I would end up at the center bottom of the surround. Again, this is all because of using the colorant. I've been told I need to write my own blog! Probably so!! Since I ran out of this bag mid-project, I learned that you can actually use another product called Henry Feather Finish - product number on the box is 549. ALSO, we had to use a paddle stirring contraption - normally used for stirring paint - or you could use the one for actually stirring together joint compound. The Henry Feather Finish is the same stuff as is in this Ardex bag. They are made by the exact same company -just different packaging. I found the Henry at Home Depot. You just have to search because different territories in the US carry different products and brands. DO KNOW THIS - I found the Henry product - the powder before mixing - to be of a much darker gray that the Ardex. I called the company back and they explained that all cement is that way, that it will vary from batch to batch. Makes perfect sense. I had to then adjust my colorant a bit in order to allow for the Henry feather finish being so much darker. I had originally hoped to have a glass tile fireplace surround, but our tile contractors couldn't come out for weeks! My husband was nervous about us trying to learn to do tile (chicken - haha!). I thought he was gonna stroke over the cement! This feather finish allowed me to rescue our project of making a slimmer profile of our fireplace and giving it a sleek, modern appearance. We now have no hearth, though maybe one day we will create one, but now the surround goes straight down to the floor. We painted the gold colored accents on the screen facing with black paint. That cedar mantle - we took it to a cabinet shop and had them plane it down. I sanded it smooth (didn't take much after going through a commercial planer) and stained it, then put a couple of coats of satin polycrylic on it I think. Totally different room, now. Looks awesome!!!
