Subject: [IBC] Ciment Fondu
One product that
has not been mentioned in Secar 71. This should be used as a surfacing
agent
to create the appropriate stone texture. This is accomplished by plopping
it
onto the Ciment Fondu.
Cordially,

Mike,
I remember your article.
The way I finished my ciment fondue items was that on the last brushed on
coat of CF I added a little more sand and it gave a nice stoney texture to
the finished item. In fact, I never tried thism but see no reason why larger
silica sand or haydite couldn't also be added for the last couple coats.
