PLEASE PLEASE tell me where you get those blue edge forms I can't find them on the website. NOT THE CEMENT EDGE MOLD BUT THE FORM THAT IS SCREWED INTO THE TABLE HOLDING THE CEMENT IN.
We recently sold the last box, and have not yet made more... Most likely we will just stick with the new forms we now carry to replace the triangle style. You can see them here: www.expressions-ltd.com/products/concrete-counter-top-plastic-precast-l-shaped-forms
Because the results of that one looking like he spilled pain and can pour concrete. That’s what it looks like not what it is. It just looks like a big mistake.
He's slopping it on at the end because he knows he doesn't have to be precise. The main pigment is already in place, so the pigment he paints on near the end is just to fill voids. If you were to instead do the careful painting of the shape of the vein you want to achieve at the end, you would have to be more precise and the pigment would only go skin deep or fill in voids. It would not look uniform. That is why you do the main part of the pigment as the base of the concrete structure.
The end of the video example is a different technique, that was done using pigment (blue) mixed with cement slurry (dry) and then placed in the form in the pattern shown and concrete then placed over the top of it, filling the form. That process is much messier (as can be seen from the blue 'smudges' around the area) and won't create hard lines (which is what this main video was to show- the placement of different colored concrete mixes and the lines made between joining of them!)
Never add music to DIY demos. It ruins it for viewer. Natural sounds are wonderful and soothing. Silence is golden. I came to see the countertop with the sink and got bamboozled into watching a completely different build. Misrepresentation. Don't bait and switch.
