Good question that,also what do you use to put the glaze back on printed concrete drives,is it like a clear varnish that does every colour?

Just looked at that website,its all there,cheers

To be honest i've tried the products mentioned on this page and find the Thompsons as good as any, and easier to source.  Could you please let me know why you would fault it on the off chance i've missed something?  Ta.
