St. Louis floorlaying Apprentices have been getting hands-on training with polished concrete. The first concrete polishing class was held last month and apprentices learned the polishing process on concrete that is over 70 years old. Check out the after and before pics. More recently, apprentices created stencils in the classroom through a projection system which are on a low tack vinyl that has three layers. Great job adding new skills to their tool boxes! #Floorlayers #UnionProud
