Introduction: Decorative Concrete - Filled No-Fines Method

By

No-fines is a concreting technique where there are no fine aggregate (sand) included, resulting in porous concrete. I have modified the method by filling the voids with a coloured cement to produce a mottled spotty pattern.

Step 1: Things You Will Need

Safety:

  • dust mask
  • latex gloves

Concrete:

  • white cement
  • yellow and blue pigment
  • aquarium gravel

Other:

  • form (plastic bottle)
  • water
  • disposable cups
  • popsicle sticks
  • grinding pad (or other sanding/grinding tools)

Step 2: Instruction Video

Refer to the above instruction video for a demonstration of the method.
