also..how thick is the finished product? What size fibers are used? thanks..

[lookatmyconcrete]

@brofun The thickness of the product and size of the fibers can vary depending on the project. We have made concrete as thin as a half inch. Our countertops are usually 1 inch thick.

[lookatmyconcrete]

@lookatmyconcrete I'm sorry, our countertops are typically 1.5 inches thick.

did you spray that on a styrofoam base?..or was that a mold that you would remove later? I do vertical concrete and overlays..and would love to learn more about hits..can it be sprayed over existing formica tops?

thanks

[lookatmyconcrete]

@brofun In this video, we sprayed over a mold that is removed after curing. The mix design that we spray is only a decorative facial coat that is non structural. Without the fiber backing it is easily cracked. There are other products on the market for vertical and overlays.

The mesh used is the same that is used for stucco applications, correct?

[lookatmyconcrete]

@gluemanred No, a GFRC material manufacturere or supplier has all of the materials needed.

Hi does any GFRC Spray Gun Hopper would work thanks

[brofun]

@lookatmyconcrete ok..I think I understand that..the decorative spray goes down real smooth..then the fiber cement is packed behind it to give it rigidity..is that correct? I have a couple of bathroom vanities that I want to make into gfrc tops. Any other tips are more than welcome!! Thanks.

@lookatmyconcrete Thanks! The thing that was most interesting to me re: the build here was the mesh application. I used a polyesther reinforcing fiber in my bottle wall inserts, and know that it does take some working -

@pamgotcher If you are not a concrete countertop manufacturer, I do not reccomend GFRC countertops for a home improvement project. It often takes many years to develop usable techniques and mix design.
