DIY Light Transmitting Concrete (+ HD Video)

Step 5 Pouring The Concrete

 I used Rockite Floor Leveling Cement. It's realty just super-duper plaster...it's more durable and looks way cooler. I even think it's finer grained than plaster (and takes on finer detail. Unfortunately, it doesn't take paint well).

Mix the concrete pretty thin...you do not want air bubbles.

You may want to try to find a book called Sculpting With Cement by Lynn Olson. He uses white cement extensively on the outside of his concrete sculptures

I haven't used the stuff, but I was thinking - there are pigments that can be mixed into concrete to give it color- perhaps those same pigments can be used with the Rockite cement.

 Look for 'Mosaic grout pigments'. They are fairly cheap and easy to use :)
