now i didn't add that much pigment so this differentiation is pretty subtle i let it sit for about three hours and then i put some sticks over it and covered it with a plastic tarp this is just going to keep a lot of the moisture in so that it doesn't dry out too fast and crack i let it sit a full NUMBER_TOKEN hours before removing the screws and peeling off the forms the concrete will still continue to cure but it's certainly hard to detouch now and i just sprayed it down with a water bottle this just gives it a little more moisture on the surface and helps with the curing process the concrete is flat but there were a few bubbles here or there or like little grains of sand that are just sticking up and i just sanded these down with NUMBER_TOKEN grit sandpaper now the edge is securely attached but i did have a little hairline crack around some places around the perimeter and that just came i think because the concrete settled down as it cured but it's still structurally on there really well so i'm not worried about it falling or flaking off i just filled it with some quikrete crack repair let that fully cure and then sanded it down so just the crack is full and you're seeing the original concrete on either side this worked pretty well but i probably could have done this a little bit easier just using some of the floor resurfacer i waited a couple more days for the concrete to fully dry all the way out and then sealed it with some water-based polyurethane in matte i added a thick coat let that cure sanded it down just a little bit with NUMBER_TOKEN grit paper and then added a second coat this was a really easy project and i think the table came out pretty good it does however look a little bit more like stone than it does like polish concrete or at least the type of concrete that i associate with you know concrete countertops it's gonna be great as an outdoor table where a little bit more of a rustic look makes sense although i am curious to see if expansion and contraction from day night temperature cycles do eventually cause it to crack but we've moved it around a few times so far and no cracks so think it's safe to be optimistic thanks for watching this video and if you want to know more about the concrete products that i use be sure to go to URL_TOKEN oh and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already thanks bye
