Is it true that slurry does not cover darker patches on top of slurry?
Anonymous user 06/03/2024 - 2.31 PM
Before a tradesperson painted my garage floor with slurry, my garage floor had no dark patches. But after he painted it with slurry, there are darker patches on top of the slurry. What might be wrong? When I asked him to paint another layer of slurry, he said slurry does not hide dark patches. My question now is: if slurry can cover the colour of the concrete floor, why can it not cover the dark patches??
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

the slurry should all be applied in two coats to get a good seal

i figure that if the floor is painted correctly, the paint would cover any dark areas.

Could be that the slurry if cement based has absorbed contaminates that were in the fabric of the floor slab in certain areas of the floor
