Coming back from Thanksgiving, we're bringing the heat—literally and metaphorically. In this episode of The Concrete Podcast, we walk you through why a torch is your secret weapon for sealing success and reveal our pick for the best epoxy sealer for concrete sinks. Plus, we’re shining a light on Alicia Dietz, a fellow artisan who’s elevating the craft with her unique creations.

We’ll also introduce you to new diamond pads that will take your work from good to great—and stick around for details on how you can snag a free set compatible with Festool, Bosch, Mirka, or Dynabrade. It's all about the tools, techniques, and the people who make this community thrive. Join us for a conversation that’s as practical as it is inspiring.
