When Is It Too Late To Cut Concrete

Can I cut a new extension to the one year old concrete walkway? 3

I'd like to paint my relatively new entry on a large board separated by extensions. Is it too late to cut out new characters that are really decorative and don't need to be too deep? When the garage collapsed a year ago, it had expanded considerably. I can do it alone or with a professional. I'm very familiar with other areas of construction, but I want professional results. We appreciate your cooperation!

You noticed that each of your new cuts on this board gave it a weak point. Controlled, but I don't recommend you cut any more just to decorate.

You also need to look at the dish cut. If they really do now, you'll need to put a putty to fill it. Otherwise the freezing / thawing cycle will open it up further. Use UK colored limestone called (NP1).

If you choose to make more cuts, a hand-held concrete saw will get the best results. You can rent it and want a diamond knife for this cut.

Draw a line on the concrete, then cover the line upside down with a clear coated line protector. It may be available in business type stores. This will protect the line so that when you cut the s with a concrete saw (water escapes from the blade while cutting), the water does not wash the chalk line. Wash the residue after cutting.

Some people may suggest a concrete hand saw, although you will not get a straight cut line and if you have to cut a lot of straight lines your back will be severely damaged.

There seems to be some consideration here. Extensive joints are installed on vertical surfaces (garage panels) and when inserted at 20-25 intervals. Controls are made on boards with a scoring tool or concrete saw at intervals of 10-12 shapes and are placed in one place. When dumping the plate, place both sides of the expansion material evenly to prevent it from slipping out of position. If this is your first attempt at laying concrete, you are making a mistake. Obviously they don't know what you are doing, it will be a very expensive DIY project for you. There are 4 simple rules of concrete: 1. Hardening. 2, it will be difficult. 3 This is art. 4. ODY Never GET UP.

Yes sir

1. Use a good diamond sharp knife.

2. Wear masks and goggles.

3. Draw the chalk line with the desired cut.

You don't cut extensions, they really are. One should look at the top

Don't go too far and make your cut with the board ... If you try to stop the line in the middle and you're in your new cut, it won't stop where your cut was left ...

You can cut it right now, but bring a pro with a water cooled diamond blade ... very easy
