I've been trying to locate Federal White Cement in central PA. I talked to a sales rep and he put me in touch with a rep from Essroc. Apparently Essroc buys bulk Federal White and bags it under the…Continue

Steel and curling

I recently made this piece just for fun. A friend of mine has a CNC plasma cutter and we are loving how the steel looks inlayed in the concrete. The problem is, this had some crazy curling, the 4…Continue

Federal White Cement

I've been trying to locate Federal White Cement in central PA. I talked to a sales rep and he put me in touch with a rep from Essroc. Apparently Essroc buys bulk Federal White and bags it under the Brixment name. This was confirmed by the Federal rep. And, they will soon be just buying bagged Federal and selling that everywhere instead of the Brixment. I don't know how far the area is but thought that some of you may be interested in this. See More

"I've tried that. I didn't spray the masked area, i just poured it, let it set up a little bit then unmasked it and sprayed the rest. I've never gotten really crisp edges, pretty good but not really crisp. "

"I was at the event. The sealers seem to be as easy to apply as they show in the videos on their website. I brought some home with me but I haven't had a chance to play with them, yet. They did appear to have very good early water resistance,…"

"Every pour will be different, because the timing of the temp rise will depend on the ambient temp in your shop. You will find that after placing the concrete, the temp will drop by a couple of degrees, and then will start to rise. Since I use 20%…"

"I don't see Tetraguard on BASF's website, the only SRA listed is Masterlife SRA 20. So Alla, are you putting heat on as soon as your done with the troweling? Schuler says to let it go off on its own, usually overnite then put it on low…"

"I can't believe Tom is still selling that SRA. When I tested it against Tetraguard and nothing, it caused the greatest curl. Worse than nothing. The best cure against curl is a heating blanket. Spray the backside with water after you finish…"
