In this episode of 'The Concrete Podcast,' BG and Jon squarely face criticism for their unvarnished truths. They reject the trade-off between candor and politeness.

They then delve into the hazards of chasing cheap, warn against SuperGlue's unsuitability in mold making, and explore software for crafting precise shop drawings.

BG + Jon - Bold Truths and Concrete Realities: Navigating Honesty and Craftsmanship

This week, BG and Jon tackle the issue of intellectual property theft, whether for educational purposes or to be sold on Etsy. They then shift their focus to the significant changes on the horizon for urethane coatings, which will directly impact many concrete artisans. Finally, they dive into the details of the upcoming 'Concrete Hoedown in the Holler' scheduled for October 27-28. If you haven’t heard of this event, picture craftsmen casting concrete, enjoying beer and BBQ, shooting guns, and finding solace by the campfire. An event to revive your concrete soul, not to be missed. Here is a video of last years event: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/766578840
