Go to Princess Auto ( HF) and buy an Air Dryer. It is basically a pipe with threaded caps on each end and two air fittings. You put tablets that draw the moisute out of the air into this canister. BUT! The air coming out of the tank is warm and we...
Check the amount of air coming out of your gun. Get an Air dryer but also run a 50' hose before the air dryer to reduce the heat going into the dryer. The pucks don't like heat and you will use them up fast. Air dryers are cheap so pick up two if ...
We did thank you!

I remember having a rather undesirable shade variation due to plaster of paris. I used it on a foam sink plug instead of my usual synthetic lightweight filler, and didn't coat it with urethane (I usually don't, and besides, the plaster was too fre...
One trick we use to get a very slight variation in colors is to heavily skip-wax the form. We do it almost like a faux paint job, so there's even spaces of no wax and wax. Where the wax is tends to keep the concrete a slightly different shade but ...

John, it really depends on the working time of your mix. You can use two or more mixers, mix different colours and then alternate the colours as you place the concrete in the form - sort of like a concrete Jackson Pollock. Or you can mix a single ...

Jeff Osborne said… - Hey bro, to tell the truth this was a prototype for a tile store. I first wanted to see how well my mold would release and all that stuff. 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.
