Step 1 Cork coaster

Step 1

Use the tape to divide the coaster into separate areas.

Step 2

Apply a layer of Beton paste to one of the areas using a palette knife. Take off the tape immediately; don’t wait for it to dry. Once the Beton paste has dried you cannot remove the tape anymore and the beton layer might break. Let it dry for 2 hours.
