Skim coat a few bad spots around the edges, let it set, buff it all out, seal it, good to go.

Is there a speed control on that mixer? It is airrating the mud is why you're getting the air pockets. If not turn the mixer off, let it set for a few minutes then fold it with a paddle before pouring. Will come out much smoother with less air pockets.. jmo

Mornin boys. -14° here this morning. Enough already...

Looking forward to Daylight Savings Time this weekend. It’s one of 2 days out of the year that all the clocks in my house show the same time. :)

Having the light out for my drive home helps keep me motivated for home projects too.

Make it a great day, fellers.

No sir. On/Off only.

Would dumping it into the form out of 5 gallon buckets have any affect on this?

I worked it pretty good and was a little disappointed, but at least I can fix it.

There are admixtures specifically formulated for concrete countertops which add strength, durability, workability, and minimize honeycomb.

Off to the dealership for a backing plate for the wife's buggy. I tore the current one up while changing the front wheel bearing.

Yes, only I couldn't find it at HD or Lowe's locally - I used the Pro 5000 stuff without the fiberglass and added a little portland cement to each bag. If it was in a kitchen, I would have looked harder to find the countertop specific stuff.

Just need a spot to set stuff on. Think I'm about $50 all in on this set up in materials.

I was thinking that the other day as I was pouring concrete with a supplier that he posted about when he poured at the trailer manufacturer a few weeks ago. I like to think he is focusing his priorities on those closest to him.
