Acid staining GFRC?

I have a client that wants acid stained countertops. I only do GFRC now and the stain seems not to re-act the same as it does to wet cast. Has anyone else run into this and what stain were they…Continue

I'm about to do my first exterior countertop. It is on a house on the ocean just north of Boston. I was wondering what others have had luck with?

I like the look but does seem to be a bit of a sliver.

Thanks Mark this was my favorite part of the piece.
Mike I was just shimming it to keep both pieces to the same level until the silicone cured. So I am not worrying about any cracking.

I like bad jokes and yes it does look like they ran the ledges short. Well it is only your average 5 mil summer house you can't have it all.

Michael Cook said… Hi Peter,
This is a shot in the dark email but here it goes. I have a business partner that came up to do some work in down town Boston for the next 8 weeks. (He starts this Monday) Unfortunately the project came up so quick that he did not have time to find housing. He is looking for something furnished, as close to down town as possible and under $1500 a month. We have done the craigslist and realtor thing with no luck. I thought if I contacted a local that you may have some ideas or resources. For now he is staying with me in CT. I know this is a long shot but if you have any ideas please give me a call.406-544-5150

I haven't landed in JP yet and I've been slammed with work out here at stone soup. My lease in JP starts on the first though and I'm not 100% on what my next move is. We'll talk soon.

Hey Peter,
I do make it out that way quite a bit. My girlfriend lives in south end and we're moving in to a place in JP shortly. I would love to grab a beer sometime. I'm out in Boston 3 or 4 times a month right now, so I'll let you know when I'm heading out next and we'll figure something out.

Alla Linetsky said… Hi Peter,
Your best bet for seaming Corian is the Corian epoxy. You can mail-order it from GranQuartz, complete with the dispenser. Wipe the edges of the sheets with acetone before you bond them.
Your second best bet is slow-curing amber epoxy (West System or similar), available from boatbuilding suppliers. You may need to adjust the amount of hardener so that you end up with something that sands at the same rate as the Corian. That's very important - on my first attempt at bonding sheets, I ended up with a rubbery seam that gummed up the sandpaper rather than being sanded down. I had to redo it.

- Peter, we did not choose the subject matter, we were contracted to make the mold and cast pieces. The artist who won the bid used sumac as the theme to tie in with the sumac trees that are a focal point in the community where the casts are being installed
