is it possible to hand pack forms made from MDF instead of Melamine? I am making a small sink/vanity and already have some laying around is all, and I'd prefer to use it rather than buying more stuff :) If I could, what should I use to seal it, and is there a recommended release agent?
Hi Byron. You could use MDF, but you'd need to seal it with an epoxy, because without sealing the MDF will absorb too much water. If you want more specific information about this, please contact our technical support team here: www.buddyrhodes.com/tech-support
I wish you could work out cheaper shipping or get into Home Depot. For me to order 5 bags and have them shipped to California it cost over $200 just in shipping. It cost more to ship than the material itself. Great product, but not smart financially for me to use.
How long does the slurry/bone paste sit for before polishing? Overnight? Couple hours? Few minutes? I ask this because I've tried this, but the concrete keeps getting stained.
When following the proper mix ratio, found in the link below, Bone Paste is best sanded after 24 hours. It is acceptable to wait long, but it may be more difficult to sand or polish. www.buddyrhodes.com/bone-paste-plus/

Will you show this being done in a “cast in place” method, please?!?!
Great idea! We'll let the video team know!
Does the craftsman mix comes with fibres in it? It’s a pity I didn’t catch with you when you were in Australia with Dominic. :)
Enrique, the Craftsman Mix does NOT come with fibers in it. Hope you can make it next time they go down under! :D

damn, possibilities are endless 😮
Do you use a filling mix with fibre? As sprayed GFRC?
Hello Enrique, with this technique a sprayer is not used, it is all applied by hand.
