Re: Concrete Sinks

?I didn't see if they did this, but I am sure they used some sort of vibrator to work out all the air pockets from the cement ?

An orbital palm sander pressed against the sides of the forms will settle out the air bubbles and bring the cement to the surface for a smooth finish. Steel trowel it, use a pool trowel if you have not had a lot of finishing experience. It will keep you from dragging or hanging a corner ? usually when you are making that last stroke.:D

Some of the marble looking floors and sinks etc: in older hotels and government buildings are actually terreso cement.
