Ok, got it....this was a poll for advertising cost.....you probably stated that some where, as to the iintentions of this poll. Some how, I thought maybe you were finding designers that were polling the accepted value cost of CC. Then, I thought.....
Thad, how are you applying the hardener? Are you scrubbing it in.....then rinsing any and all residue off? Basic silicated need to be rinsed....all excess material needs to be rinsed off.
From what it sounds like, Alla and Rich are correct. Up un...
Maybe I have not had my full dose of coffee....but....what??? I don't get it.
Dave, you took a poll on accpetable price range that current designers are looking for? And out of the designers you talked to, their answers to you where.....cheap was...
That is a great idea. Instead of some general standard....more of a point system. Good suggestion, I like that.
John, Mark.....still the argument can go full cirlce. I think "green" is a much larger picture than just materials used in the counterop. Mark, even the EcoRock.....takes a ton of energy to produce the raw materials used as the binder. Without bur...
Jeremy,
Lets start a standard ourselves. You brought up the whole idea of green washing...and how much it is done today with so many products. What standard should we consider as a set point for what this industry does?
What are your ideas? Wher...
I know BlueConcrete had a black Stainz that works very well for blackening many of my pieces. I have also heard some people having success using EAP over the it. Using the Stainz, would be a much better long term bonding choice with color. But, ch...

Darren Rodgers said… - Hi Jon, I saw your post from March 26 about your Black Galaxy mix. I have a client who is looking for something similar. The Spectra T grade Black sand I'm not sure about. Looked on the Blue Concrete site and saw only Q-6, Q-10, Q, and F grades, no T grade (Spectra Quartz right?). Thanks for any help Darren

Todd Crouch said… - Hello Jon, sorry I missed your call back. I was polishing an apron sink at the time. Coming into winter it occurred to me that storage temp. could be an issue. Also, I currently heat my shop with wood heat. It's fine during the day, but the shop gets pretty cold overnight. I usually cover curing pieces with heating blankets until the heat gets cranked up in the morning. Are there any cold weather issues/ precautions I should take with counterhard/first sealz?

Brian Hart said… - Hey John... I ordered some stuff from Blue Concrete, since I needed to get going. I would love to swing by the next time you guys get together just to be a fly on the wall and pick up any information (which would be a lot, I'm sure) I could.
I'm curious about some of the products, since I have called twice, and I got different information each time - which is kinda disconcerting. I was told that super sealz is their acryllic compound, and that super flowz is their liquefaction compound... then today, I was told the opposite.
I thought I had it sorted out, but now I'm confused, and nervous about mixing any of this stuff together, haha. I left you a voicemail, if you get a chance, give me a buzz back. Thanks a ton.

- Yeah, pretty much everything (other than Portland and sand) other than sealer - I still have some EAP left over. I'd like to try GFRC out, I have a texture hopper, and am dying to try it out...
Any advice you care to offer on the mix is greatly appreciated, I don't care about brand-X or brand-Y so long as it works. My immediate project is small, 1.5ish cubic feet. I'll have to figure out what to do for the dye (looking for a dark brown finish)...

- Hey Jon - we talked on the phone a couple of months back. I've got a couple of projects coming up that hit me pretty much flat-footed, and I'm hoping I can take you up on your offer to stock up on some materials (assuming you have any to spare at the moment). I left you a voicemail, and figured I'd try to ping you here as well.
Thanks,
Brian

- Hi Jon. I haven't seen an e-mail yet. I wasn't sure if you're just really busy or if I got the wires crossed when I gave you my e-mail address. Here it is again just in case: crouchconcrete@olypen.com
Thanks for your help and willingness to share info.
Todd
