  • Gently spoon your cement into the mold taking care not to shift the shelf liner and glass below. When your mold is about half full take it and carefully strike the bottom of the mold on your work top. This will help pop any bubbles that have formed around your glass pieces.
    Fill all of the way to the lip of the stepping stone mold and place somewhere flat to cure. Let the stepping stone dry at least 24 hours.
