    Has anyone used this product in construction? I am installing a underground outdoor elevator. The decks(two) are steel and will flex. I want a stamped surface to look like the driveway. I had a company make does that will recreate the appearance exactly my drive way will be 225' long 16' wide. I front of the garage it will be 31' wide

    You can get the effect you desire with large rocks (like above), and an epoxy that retains flexibility and some concrete chips dusted on top before the epoxy has set.

    Concrete (and the cement is is made of) necessarily takes a stiff set when it cures.

    Mitchell,

    The deck toppings we use here are referred to as "light weight"....I think that has to do with aggregate sizing....
