hi, i am desperatly trying to source som npn! do you ship to uk? if so, how much does it cost including shipping and do you know of an instructional dvd for casting? adrianhopper@yahoo.co.uk.
How do you inject the colored viens? I've liked the idea of concrete counter tops but I've always been concerned with how plain they look. The viens make it look almost like a natrual stone. Also, do you ever have to worry about cracking with concrete?
@r1raceguy Cracking: study reinforcement (ladur wire), and different types of concrete (check out Quikrete NonShrink Grout), (with or without gravel). Also, learn about plasticizers, anti-shrink admixture, pozzolans (metakaolin) and dose PVA fibers at 1/2oz per ft^3. It's not as complicated as I make it sound.
Also, search youtube for "Concrete Countertops: How reinforcing works"

...you add a different color mix to the form before you place the main mix. You can add all kinds of colors, aggregate, nuts, washers, etc.
...concrete needs to be reinforced to avoid cracks.
