Concrete is a craft best learned shoulder to shoulder.

In this episode of The Concrete Podcast, Brandon Gore and Jon Schuler announce the upcoming Concrete Heroes Quest workshop in Napa, California, a three day hands on training for makers working with concrete countertops, GFRC, and decorative concrete. The goal is simple: bring the concrete community together, because we get better faster when we learn together.

From there, the conversation moves into real questions coming from the decorative concrete world.

They break down the difference between true patina and sealer failure, why white concrete countertop samples can look completely different depending on exposure, and why professional grade mixes outperform DIY bagged materials.

Brandon also explains his method for casting seamless waterfall concrete countertops using SCC GFRC and why proper mix design is critical for success.

The episode also includes an update to Kodiak Pro Maker Mix. After refining one of the raw materials with the manufacturer, the mix now delivers improved flowability and consistency, along with updated guidance for water and TBP plasticizer.

If you work with concrete countertops, concrete sinks, or decorative concrete furniture, this episode offers practical insights to help you avoid costly mistakes and produce better results.

Because in the end, the goal is not just better concrete.

It is a stronger community of makers.
