That clear thing turned white🤣. I tried to blend it with some black waterproof rubber tar that I got long ago. It did an okay job🫣😂 I was just using my hand if I use like a sponge it would’ve looked better.

My steps in putting cement on my project: dig 4 inches of dirt out of the ground and cover it with a 10-mil plastic sheet for a weather barrier. Then, drive around and look for bricks and stones, lay them nicely and tightly on the plastic, and put wires over them, tying them down with a few pieces of rebar. Use 2 bags, 70lb of mortar mix to bond the bricks and stones together. Additionally, use 3 bags of 50lb crack-resistant fiber cement to make it bond stronger, 8 high-strength 80lb concrete bags, and 2 bags of 94lb Portland cement to smooth everything out. I did it in layers in that order. Those stones and bricks I used save me over 2000lb of cement.
