HI;
Is anyone making any Thin-set type of products that are designed for fairly thin indoor applications that can be troweled / floated out to a smooth surfaced?
I am thinking about stained / acid etched concrete for the finished surface, but can't pour a thick base, it would have to be some type of modified concrete product. The substrate is very stable with little deflection and can easily handle the weight. (most of the floor is 3 -2"x10"'s over 14' [6"x10"]) I think portland might end up cracking in a 1/2" to 3/4" pour, even with some Lime and plasticizers in it, but maybe not? How much deflection can portland with lime in it handle?
Thanks
Jamie
