![]() I generally "Smear" it in the holes and try not to make too much more work for myself lol. Now remember if you go to putting a thick layer you will have more sanding to do. If you go to Lowes or HomeDepot look for a "Skim Coat." You'll mix this up and do a thin coat where there are holes. You can buy this from or from your nearest hardware store. No worries you just need some patch concrete. Sometimes there are many things that contribute to this happening like the concrete setting up to fast due to not mixing it wet enough or even the weather can be a contributing factor. This is common and fixable! If you don't get ALL of the little air bubbles vibrated out this is what happens. If you don't and there are little "Pockets mark holes" don't panic. Now you simply Snap the form off! It will take a little force but this is the beauty of this system! You should have a beautiful polished looking edge. This ensures that the muffin comes out whole and doesn't stick to the pan. Think about how you would run a knife around the edge of a muffin before flipping the muffin pan. This is to separate the form from the countertop. Then you'll VERY carefully take a putty knife and run along the seam of the plastic form and the edge of your countertop. Ok so you'll want to take your coarse hand pad and go over the very top edge of the form to make sure there is nothing "connecting" it to your finished countertop concrete. Also a Diamond Hand Polishing Pad Coarse Grit for when you go to get the forms off. Here you get all the different grits that you will want to work your way up through to get that total "polished" look. Some diamond Polishing Pads for your sander. ![]() So once you get your countertops successfully poured you will want to get the finish just right! I suggest grabbing a few tools off Amazon.
