No prob david. I think it will hold up fine. The only thing on the stairs is if they are wood, the movement may make them crack. If concrete, it will be no problem. The psi strength is well above what is needed for any kind of traffic, foot or auto. It was estimated at 5500 at 28 days, but it broke at 3300 at 8 days. It will be fine. Sounds like an awesome project, good luck and cant wait to see some pics. Tell your boys hi for me and i will talk to you soon.

Thanks. They are wood, but I totally reworked them. We popped off the treads and ripped them back to size, and while they were off reinforced the stringers top to bottom. Then we glued and screwed the treads on, and installed risers the same way. Don't think they're going anywhere.

By the way, this is a bit embarrassing-I had been adding a little something to your mix in the first 5 double-batches. I really like Kel-Crete liquid, and have been putting it in everything else. Zach suggested we try a batch  w/o it, and wouldn't you know, it worked much better. Momma always said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

By the way, crazy-long working time with that stuff!

loldavid. Ive done my homework with the mix and i truely believe right now as the mix is, i feel it is where it needs to be without anything else. I hope its not sitting around to long for ya.  Its just a dream to work with, cant explain. Every part of the process is excellent from application, to clean ut. You just have to be patient with it and it wont do you wrong. Thanks david.
