Glass Reinforced Concrete Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I spill my glass of red?
How do I
reseal the table top? How often
should the table be resealed? Can I use any sealant?
How far apart should I put the legs?
Can it be left outdoors?
Yes. Glass reinforced concrete is very
durable. It will last in
virtually any environment. What happens if I spill my
glass of red?
All table tops
come sealed from the factory.
This provides some protection against staining. Clean up spills
immediately. Try to wash away
spills rather than wipe them up with a cloth. Should you
stain the table top, regular hose downs and the bleaching effects of the sun
will eventually fade the stain away. Stubborn oil
based stains can be treated with hot soapy water with a little bleach. Ensure you test your mixture on a
small part of the table first as a too strong solution could fade the table. How do I reseal the table top?
Easy. Simply spray on an ornamental
sealer. Wipe it over to
distribute evenly. Wait for an
hour or so and repeat – the table is sealed. Never seal the
table top if it has marks or stains on it. This will permanently seal in the marks. How often should the table be
resealed?
Usually once
every twelve months. You can
test the table when it is dry by splattering water on it. If the water beads it is still
sealed. If the water soaks in,
the table top needs to be resealed. Can I use any sealant?
No. If you choose to use a sealer
different to our recommended product, take care to test it on a patch of the
table first. Some sealers will
react with the factory sealant. How far apart should I put the
legs?
You should place the legs at 1/3 intervals in order to give the table top adequate support. Can chips be repaired?
Yes. Going Going Gone can supply you with
some repair kit – a powder which is mixed with PVA glue into a paste and used
to fill any chips or cracks.
Allow 24 hours for the mixture to set and lightly sand the area back
to meet the table surface. Going Going Gone |
