To make translucent concrete, you'll need Fiber Optic Plastic (FOP) and ROCALITE microconcrete (www-rocalite.com)
ROCALITE is a very strong mix of concrete in which all the components are micro-metric size and reacts with a very small amount of water, so the paste when wet has is like clay and when sets is stronger than normal concrete. This two factors allows to insert the fibers in the wet mix and keep them in place until the mix sets, about four days later. After that you'll need to polish the surface to let the fibers appears and allow the light passes from one end of the fiber to the other.
The concrete keeps its appearance its strength, is characteristics but the light passes through it
It is amazing
Reinforced concrete is just normal concrete with steel reinforement placed inside.
Most bags will make a 1/3 of a cubic foot of concrete.
you need to have a ''keyway''---that is a groove in the base concrete,can be cut in if concrete has set,if not set,oil a 2x4lightly(lightly) & imbed it into the base concrete flush.
Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.
Concrete IS nature, the aggregate is crushed rock, the cement is made of natural lime and clay, mix these together with water and you get concrete.
He could see that the sun was up but because the window was translucent he could not make out if the car was in the driveway.
you can make paper translucent by putting water on the paper
no. paper is not translucent. but if we apply some oil on paper we can make it translucent.
Even the Romans and Persians started to use horse hair (natural fibers!) as reinforcement and/or used glass pearls to make solid walls translucent. We know that since - at least - the 50s, there has been something like textile concrete. Architects like Bill Price (Rotterdam, Houston), Will Wittig (Detroit), Francesco Passaniti (Paris), Sensitile (Detroit), Aron Losonczi (Czongrad), Christoffer Dupont (Copenhagen), Luccon (Lustenau), Andreas Bittis (Aachen) and others started and published their translucent concretes - all with optical fibers … So - who, how and where translucent concrete was "invented" is by no means a question anymore... It is now state of the art.
Your mama makes the paper translucent.

You could wax or oil it.

Yes. Ross and Linens-N-Things both sell translucent window shades.
