A friend of mine builds cement forms for a living and I have seen thick plywood with a layer of some sort of waxy plastic on the surface in his shop, so I asked him about how to obtain a glasslike surface in cement pours. He says-
"HDO, high density overlay plywood, is what I use. $60 a sheet for 3/4" (also available in 1/2"). It leaves a smooth surface. Plexiglass would have to be backed by 3/4 plywood or the pour would have lots of bulges. It should leave a slightly smoother surface than HDO. PVC would be cheaper than plexiglass, and is available in ten foot sheets. Any large lumberyard will have HDO. Better quality forms are made of steel."
