Slurry, part 1 - complete

So last night I slurried the light gray. Slurry (a mixture of cement, water and dye) is used to fill any holes. Since there are always some holes in every pour, this isn't a new process for me; you just smear the stuff on (looks like yogurt), rub it into the holes, then scrape it smooth with a putty knife. The next day, you just sand it smooth and voila- bye bye holes!

However, this pour has two colors, requiring me to slurry twice. Last night was the first, and man, did it make a big improvement, especially on the edges where the majority of the holes are. I'm hoping to slurry the darker parts tomorrow. Then it'll be on to staining. Yay!
