Hi Yall , I've been looking at making concrete lamp similar to this one see here I've tried looking for a mix spec in the uk for this, but can't find one. In the USA they just use countertop mix. Could any one help, please?

when I've made concrete worktops I've just used a very strong (c40) concrete and grit sand mix with some sbr and use some poly filament fibres in the non surface bit
