I am currently using my compressor to build a house, so GFRC will have to wait untill the new year.
How much sanding can be done before hi loading of fibrz becomes an issue? The samples I gave had a little sand exposed.
More and more I am getting requests of large verts from designers. It is perfect for GFRC. A good tool for your bag because it is much easier spraying up these verts than trying to wet cast.
This is beyond my capability at this time Alla. I haven't cast vertical walls like this and don't have a mix that I feel confident to do this. The contractor has also changed the supporting framework three times already and would kill me if I sugg...
Designers don't think in 3 dimensions. The reason it's specified as mitered edges is because the designer drew this up for a generic sheet product. I'd take down the supporting framework and just make it in one piece. You can cast in the reveals u...
It is designer driven. Here are the details from the designer:
Why are you not making these in one piece?
I think the 1/2" reveel is still asking for trouble!
I think I get it, Well kinda not really, would love to see it and see how you would form it. So you are mitering by grinding, or forming angle, on inside (back side) of edge, so there will be a gap between sides, but have them meeting at that mite...

My future cast will have built in flange or what ever it takes for the particular job. in the pic it' s sealed with gloss eap and looked kick ass until i rolled anti-skid eap on shower floor. I must have applied to thick because it looks like shit. All milky, should have tested that theory first. ended up having to wet polish with fucking 50 grit to get that shit off, it's bomb proof with the anti-skid additive in it. looks pretty fucked now. going to paste over entire floor tomorrow and see what that looks like. sorry for rambling, later.

Release agent help but its not totally necessary. Melamine needs no release agent, It wont bond to anything plastic or polished stainless steel. IT will bond to wood and metal, so those need to be coated. If you use wood rails for countertop forms tape them off with stucco tape, the smooth red plastic tape.

- I am in Durango, Colorado. I have a flat rate shipping on the samples if you buy through the web site.
You can email me your shipping address and tell me what you want and i can customize an invoice for you. stonevesselsink@gmail.com Also i can get really good rates on freight so if the order is large enough i can look into this. I am shipping 700 lbs across the country right now for about $250.

- I am letting folks know I have a small web site set up to sell samples of ceramic cement, calling it Bombercrete. For large orders you can just call me and i can arrange however much you need. I am suggesting people start with the Premix, I am selling it pretty cheap and its the easiest to work with.

- Everything i know about it i learned from bob and mark, they seamed to be more helpful then kinloch. I think it needs to be heated in microwave or cut with MEK. ITs definitely challenging at first. Ph. 970-385-4044.
I am still at two coats most of the time. I lay a 5-6 mils down, sand with 100 micron, then lay a thin coat 1 mil, then a 15 micron to buff off any dust bunnys.
