Could you add stones/decorative accents to the cement?

I know you can color the cement, and you can press pebbles into the surface after you've laid the cement but before you lift the mold off, but I'm not sure whether actually mixing pebbles, etc., into the cement would change the consistency too much.

You can customize them if you are a bit handy. There is a full set of instructions provided on the web for such undertakings.

This would be creative coloring-Get the terra cotta pack, use the white, or use some epoxy (messy), fill your tile, then get some enamel paint and paint the top to matchAnd use a clear coat in either gloss or flat or semigloss to match. Yeah it's a pain, but it's about all you have besides replacing tile

I used a few daps of silicone caulk. I had made a concrete slab for out near the street with an inset for the plaque and just "glued" it in with the caulk.

No - you can use granite. I'm sure every sink is different in its pattern, but we have a granite counter top and it looks fantastic. We actually turned our sink so it looks like a diamond shape rather than a square and installed the faucent on the upper right side, which also gives it a unique look. We get lots of compliments.

Yes to both questions, although having the layer of sheetrock would be preferable.

You can either spread a layer of thin set mortar over it or self leveling compound. Just make sure it's flat for tile.

I used screws in Sheetrock, so you could easily use a masonry (cement) drill but and pre-drill holes for masonry screws. Or you could get some 3m double sides tape a a local home store and use that (just clean the cinder blocks really well with a clearer so the tape sticks well.

I believe you can, I would make sure to get proper screws and anchors for brick work.

They are unfinished wood so I imagine you could add anything that would adhere to such a surface.

Probably not. Desiqned for larger pieces of stone more like tile ,coutertops etc

no you cannot. you need a drill with a carbide tip for concrete. The best for concrete is a hammer drill and carbide bits.

I would add the ones on top and bottom before, might be a little hard after. The ones on each candle base you just slip in so not hard to add after. Plus they add on a lot of weight to the fixture overall

Titebond would not be my first choice for gluing stone. I don't know what you could use on stone, but I do now that Titebond isn't it.

Sure you can! But you are limited on the thickness of the metal !!! I'll recommend 1/16 or less! Take you time!Absolutely no "concrete"

Sorry, I didn't see the request until much later: Tiles are muted blends and look/feel like stone. Greens, browns, slight burgundies and gold color swirls. It goes with the laminate flooring that appears to look like stone; it too has that muted blend of colors and swirls. I was surprised at how well they went together!

As to the concrete and the weight of the vehicle, you will need to use a concrete thats rated to meet that requirement. You would also need to poor it deep enough that it wont chip off or crack. The design would be the easy part of it all and after just completing my project and where you are wanting to do this I would suggest turning this and using it as more of a stamp and not a deep cut. So by turning the mold on its top and using it as a stamp without a real deep cut like a path walkway you get the look of the stone and it looks great. You can really get a professional look without anywhere near the cost. I don't know how to post pictures on here or I would. I poored a large area and worked the concrete just as you would for a smooth surface then went back and stamped the area. I am staining the concrete this weekend. I hope this helps
