8"x8"x1" concrete platform with grout topcoat. Calcium nitrate added to "Ludox" (aqueous sodium silicate suspension) to form calcium silicate. To this milky, fluid suspension is added Celite (diatomaceous earth/ SiO2) and 'chitosan'. Acrylic paints added to this binder which allows pigment to entrain in the grout.
