Question 1

I have a large area to do for a new patio, is this suitable ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, perfect for large areas and small. This should help you decide how many bags you need.
Coverage when mixed with water, 1 bag 20 litres or (0.02m3) will produce approximately:
0.80m2 @ 25mm thick 
0.40m2 @ 50mm thick 
0.26m2 @ 75mm thick 
0.20m2 @ 100mm thick

Question 2

Can I use this concrete to make a dining table top?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, we recommend you cast the table upside down, then flip over...so the bottom of the mould face is the table top and totally smooth. Many videos on YT how to make concrete table tops. Don't forget to seal the concrete with concrete sealer to stop stains. Last tip don't use more that the water dose stated on the bag, you can wash out the ingredients - you need a nice creamy mix as in this video. Thanks Maxrete®

Question 3

To make ornaments, what material cast should I use so it doesn’t stick?

Accepted Answer

Regardless of the mould former material you use, generally you must use mould release agents, its an oil you can buy on-line.

Question 4

Is this product suitable to secure a swing in the ground

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, this red bag CONCRETE MIX product takes 24 hours to fully set. To work faster our green bag of POST MIX concrete might be better for you as it sets in 5-10 mins.
