GFRC Blended Mix Basics - Trowel Technique

Learn the basics of the TrowelTechnique using Buddy Rhodes GFRC Blended Mix™. This technique is used to make pieces with the finished side facing up. Forms can be built to make precast elements, or cast in place countertops.
The process outlined in this video can also be followed when using Buddy Rhodes GFRC Admix in place of Blended Mix. Learn more about GFRC Admix here: www.buddyrhode...
A NOTE ABOUT CASTING WITH GFRC
The principal purpose for using GFRC is to make thin “cladding” type concrete, 0.75” to 1” (1.9-2.5 cm) thickness, reinforced with AR Glass fiber. SCC and Trowel techniques are an option using our GFRC Blended Mix. Some specific guidelines will help ensure success. When using the GFRC for conventional “wet-cast” projects up to 1.5” (3.8 cm) in thickness, you may continue to use AR Glass Fiber for the structural layer behind a sprayed, poured or troweled face layer. If you want to achieve a full thickness casting and a feel of solid concrete, the mix design should be altered to minimize the adverse effects that a cement rich mix may cause. For larger, thicker castings, the AR Glass Fiber is removed and additional aggregates or sand are added. This will not only extend the yield of each bag of mix, but more importantly it will reduce excessive shrinkage that may cause cracks to form. If the casting is a dimensionally stable tile at 3 ft2 (0.28 m2) or less, this may not be necessary. But when casting a countertop 9 ft (2.7 m) long and 2” (5 cm) thick, this practice should be followed.
