So today I just bought the one in the video(Quikcrete commercial grade resurfacer) I wouldn't say its the best for this kind of application do to it having grainy sandy texture. But it will work out in the end I suppose.

for less grainy you've got grout, floor leveler or habacrete. unfortunately noone knows what's going on with habacrete and i personally wouldn't buy from them from some of the stories. you may not like the grout or floor leveler either though.
sorry to say but crete will be sandy/grainy... it's the nature of the beast so to say.

I spoke to soon guys, It was just the first layer that wasn't great but now i got that second layer on its more smooth and not rubbing off. Though if you use it on great stuff that hasn't been cut and has a smooth surface it wont hold to it. But I'm actually liking how its coming along hopefully it will hold up in the long run.
Oh and before I brushed it on the first time while the second time i poured it on. I had much better success with pouring it on.

yeah... you gotta pour it. that's really the only way it likes to hold on. the first layer doesn't like to cover too well anyway. i suggest rinsing better than in the video and putting on at least one extra of the thicker layers.

I did a total of four layers of tile grout for mine. I started off with a thin coat and made each coat thicker. It worked great! I sealed mine with West Systems epoxy resin.
