Hey !

First, I am new with the site and there is a lot of info here it is crazy. If anyone want info on how Buddy Rhodes product reacts, I did a few. I am in the verge of using V-Seal Stonelock sealer. I will keep you posted on this.

But my first post  is not for contertop. Is anyone making or tried concrete veneer stone . I am actually in Canada where the temperature varies from -4 to 86 F.

What mix did you used ? What did you used as water…

I get it from FlexMar from Central US Coatings.

I have always used a HLVP sprayer to put it on. I cut it with %20 Xylene for first coat, then drop it down to %7 xylene.

Hi guys, ive been looking into some different acrylic urethane floor waxes to put over top of hydro guard sealer, lundmarks acrylic urethane looks like it could work well. Has anyone used it, or another brand that works well?

1: heat the pieces to be sealed

2: have distilled water and a soft microfibre towel on hand, cut the seams off the towel and cut out a 10 * 20 cm piece

3: put diluted and full strength products into tiny spray bottles. Tiny is important, big ones cause too much overspray.

4: rinse cut towel in distilled water, wring out hard with one hand only

Polar Bear CSA binder is a khaki/buff coloured calcium sulfoaluminate for use in high-performance cement systems.

Now holy sh*t I'm f'd

Hey there,

I just returned home after spending four days with Tommy Cook for a training session in Calgary. It was a great experience and exceeded my expectations. I have been on other concrete training courses and this is definitely the best value for $$$.  I consider Tommy's approach to training "lock and load"!   Your not going to find any detailed training agenda but you are going to do a lot and learn a lot. I figure we casted (gfrc'd) around approximately 17 pieces during…

Hi everyone, I have been doing a lot of searching about this subject and have seen on these forums that some poeple do GFRC in one pour.

What happens if you have the glass fibers at the surface, do they get gound off with the polisher or do they stick out?

By the way, this is the most amazing resource for concrete countertops I have found on the web, it is really helping feed my current obsession. Thanks!

I would like to know were i can buy these products at the lower price.

Thanks!
