Question: Wouldn't it be better to use white cement? I mean, instead of having to mix the titanium dioxide to lighten the gray cement... 🤔

You are 100% correct. It would be easier to use white cement rather than adding the titanium dioxide and making sure it's mixed in well. I just haven't found one that is reasonably priced and locally available - yet, but I'm still looking. Thanks for watching!😃

Question: do u get lots of clumps when you add the metallic paint? If so how do you prevent that?

[@downeastcandleco]

Hi. Thanks for watching the video. So I use DecoArt Paint from Americana. I have pretty much all of their metallic and I have never had an issue with clumping. Recently I tried a few paints from FolkArt Multi-Surface, both a metallic and a satin. Both of these clumped. I tried to spread them out a little more with a tooth pick. one I put them in the concrete, but they just seemed so thick they wouldn't spread out so I don' think I will use those again, unless I want a more "splotch" like appearance.
