Yes, you can apply a thin skim coat or resurfacing layer over old concrete, but proper surface preparation is critical. The old concrete must be thoroughly cleaned, power-washed, etched, and free of oil or sealers. Furthermore, you must use a specialized polymer-modified concrete resurfacing mix rather than standard concrete to ensure strong bonding and prevent cracking.
