    Ecofinish on fiberglass panels/Hydrazzo

    Well Its finished and I’d say my satisfaction level is about 7 out of 10. The ecofinish on walls looks great but Hatteras Gray Hydrazzo is not as expected. To my eyes he did not expose enough of the agregate. He skipped the polishing phase. He said hes done it so many times that polishing...
