Hello everyone!
I'm planning to cast a white/lighter concrete countertop, planning to use Weber's exm 702 and titanium dioxide pigment to color it. From what I understand, you should use 2-6% pigment of the cement weight in the mix, but I can't for the life of me find out how many kg of cement are in the mix. Does anyone know?

Yes, both of them and either I'm completely blind or it's not there, I've read it so many times now.
Here is the link to the concrete if you could find it:

You have probably already had the chance to cast..., but EXM 702 contains 8.75 kg of cement and the maximum pigment number is 8% of the cement content.
White concrete is also available for purchase, but it is usually a special order item with a minimum of 10 bags, i.e. 250 kg. (130 L)

Yes, I have cast some test samples with different percentages now but wasn't satisfied with any of them actually, they didn't turn out light enough.
I have seen that Weber has a white concrete and have decided to test with that instead, but have had some trouble finding a hardware store that has it in stock. So I'll have to check if someone could order a few bags as you mentioned, thanks for the reply even if it was a bit late

The trick to getting light concrete is that the less cement in the concrete, the lighter it becomes. A regular fine concrete contains only 5 kg, but it is more difficult to work with as it doesn't flow. If you want it very light, starting with white is optimal. I have cast with their white concrete without pigmentation, and it becomes really white since the aggregate is dolomite crushed stone. There was no problem ordering it, but there was a minimum of 10 bags since they manufacture it on order. My dealer didn't want to have bags lying around because they weren't sure if they could sell them, so it was either buy 10 or none at all
how did it turn out. any picture?
