Customers like the adhesion of the fibers. They mention that it improves the strength and adhesiveness of concrete mix. They also say that the fiber adds strength to pots. Customers also say it's effective and recommended for thin applications of concrete, especially retaining edging on pavers.

Customers are dissatisfied with the fibers in the building material. They mention that it's not glass fibers, it'd be better if it was chopped glass fiber. They're also disappointed with the bonding of the fiber with Cement All.

As far as finishing goes, if you plan on polishing/honing your surface there are a few options depending on the desired outcome. If you do NOT want to see the fibers then you will need to either spray or pour a thin face coat first and then mix/apply your HempFRC back coat. The other option is honing your surface down to the desired finish. From there you can leave the NForce-Pro fibers showing, which adds an earthy warmth to your piece. There will be a subtle texture even after sealing. If that is not your forte, then you can use a torch across the surface and it will burn fibers that are exposed leaving a void. You can then go back and slurry in a matching color or opposing to achieve different looks. One other fun tip, is that the fibers are shipped essentially in their raw state, which means the color will integrate into your concrete. The dark earthy brown/black color can create a unique marbled look on your cream finish if poured in one homogeneous fashion.
As with all aspects of decorative concrete, your end result depends on your approach and preparation. Implementing NForce-Pro hemp fibers can yield some unique finish options, while also supporting the use of a sustainable product!

Update: lowered to 1 star.
If you grind the concrete at all, this product is exposed and soaks up water. It makes the countertop look like it has pieces of wood all through it. They do not grind smooth, it feels like hair sticking up through the concrete. A waste of a pour. 100 dollars worth of custom mix down the drain. Definitely not worth the price. Stick to regular fibreglass. DO NOT buy this product
