I stripped the forms two days after placing. When I strip the forms at 1 day, even with high strength concrete, the finish isn't as good as at 2 days. It took about an hour to grind through 50, 100, 200, and 400 grits. Since these are going outside I didn't feel the need to go any smoother.
Straight out of the forms, pretty grey and boring.
The glass tile pieces after grinding.
They got sealed with the soy epoxy I used on the fiber optic buffet top. It is semi-penetrating and provides a nice wet look. The triangle-shaped holes are handles.
I am waiting on the hardware to put everything together.
