@@TheConcreteCountertopInstitute Sure, who doesn't like to watch a 2 hours and 43 minutes video to get an answer to such simple question?!?

[@TheConcreteCountertopInstitute]

@julianbransky7168 perhaps a simple question, but we would not be doing any favors to answer the question simply. GFRC as a concept is simple; 1:1 sand:cementitious, low water:cement ratio (how low is situation dependent, superplasticizer and pozzolan, dosed at specific percentages of the cementitious weight, situation dependent. And glass fibers, dosed as a percentage of the entire mix, including the fibers. We offer a lot of resources, because this is not a simple craft, despite appearing so. We are committed to the success of the people that we help, and we prefer to be informative if sometimes not concise. Thank you for your feedback!

how long do you wait in between the face coat and 1st layer of backer?

[@TheConcreteCountertopInstitute]

Here is an article with video about that: concretecountertopinstitute.com/free-training/how-to-know-when-your-gfrc-mist-coat-is-ready-for-backer/

[@mickduncan3564]

[@TheConcreteCountertopInstitute]

We teach from scratch, you just need to locate acrylic polymer and AR glass fibers. www.fibretech.org is a major supplier in the UK, which is at least on your side of the Atlantic.

How do you get white rings off black polished countertops?

[@Lakehousebuild]

Are the fibers visible on the surface?

[@TheConcreteCountertopInstitute]

No, not usually. There are different ways to prevent fibers from showing on the surface. Watch the video for how it's done.

[@Mark-ff8ir]

Can you tell me what PSI you're spraying at and how big of a compressor is needed? Thanks

Hi need your help to learn more

[@TheConcreteCountertopInstitute]

There are a lot of free resources here for learning GFRC: concretecountertopinstitute.com/free-training-category/how-gfrc-works/

[@frankuribe3662]

Can the forms be reused?

[@TheConcreteCountertopInstitute]

The fiberglass sink mold can be reused many times. The melamine form is generally only good for one or two castings before the material gets scratched, swells, or degrades such that the quality of the casting suffers.
