- In this video I give you a 6 month update on my DIY Concrete Countertops project from my first video on the channel. In that video (see link below), I showed you how to skim concrete over an existing laminate countertop and today we look to see how it held up as far durability. I also show you how I apply a new coat of sealant to help keep my concrete bathroom countertops preserved.

Thanks so much for watching---please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE! How do you think this project turned out? Is it something you’re considering doing?
Thanks for the follow up! It’s really good to know how it is working, or not, when work has been done. Thanks!
I’ve wanted to do this for so long!! Thanks for the encouragement!! I love how yours turned out and held up!
Am going to try it tomorrow am so excited
Thanks so much for both videos. I love how it turned out. Planning to do this to 2 bathroom vanitys. Your information was very helpful.
This looks fabulous Kevin!! Watched both videos and am up for kitchen counter concrete update!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much Michelle~I appreciate you taking the time to comment! I've been very happy with it. I know it's not everyone's favorite look, but I really like how it turned out for myself, particularly for the price!!
Thanks for testing it out for us. Great videos.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback 😊
Thank you Soooooooooo much for doing updates... I watched you do the first of the concrete countertop.. Great host, very informative, and the follow up, HECK YEAH!!.. Im doing a concrete countertop over a plywood base.. A little bondo.. I love the look of epoxy pours ANNNND I adore the look of concrete, in the raw.. So ive decided to mix the 2, into an artistic piece.. And if I dont like it, same as you..i will do something else..lol.. SO ANYWAY, haha.. Im hoping the epoxy layer eliminates the need for the sealent.. Especially since it will be encased in about 1/8 to1/4" of epoxy.. Im doing some vids.. Gonna try to post them one day...lol.. Anyway thanks or the info, and the folks that dont like it would probably like it if they were single mom raising kids living in a 1940s house that needed some classy update on a budget..lol..
Anyway, thank you, Looks great, and i would use that sink..😂
Ohhhh, and I subscribed and will remember where to go if I order from amazon..
Thank you so much Tammy! I really appreciate your feedback, kind words and support....you really made my day!! Your project sounds very interesting...I would love to hear how it turns out...and if you do post a video, you need to share your link with me, I would really, really enjoy learning from you. My hope with both of my channels is that we have a community where we all learn from each other. Best of luck with your project...and again, let me know how it goes! And truly, you made my day...thank you again 😊
I'm impressed!!
I really want to do this in my bathroom with white feather finish. We have 2 undermount sinks and they are tiny and I hate them. Water everywhere! I keep a microfiber cloth on the counter because all I do is wipe up water. I bought two huge vessel sinks that I’m going to put over the sink openings and I think that will help with water spillage. It is hard to keep up with that. I think I might first do the two part white epoxy on the counter to see if my husband likes that. Eventually I want new countertops, but I just can’t decide on a design. My husband is all for the concrete look at least. I just want it white. Thanks for the thorough update!
Wow, Kev! Never thought I’d come across you in one of these videos!! Long way from bus 8, huh? Love DIY stuff. Great vid!
Wow...I must look the same all these years later...LOL! So great to see you on here ~ I haven't thought about that bus forever, but when you said '8', it all came back to me! Thanks for the message...you made my day. Hope all is well😊
Now you should lay a sheet of glass on top of the concrete.
Want to do my kitchen counter this way! How did you keep the cement from dripping off the edges? Or even making the edges? They look so good.
Thank you! So that is one area where I did sand more...right along the bottom, not so much on the sides, but right at the bottom edge...you almost have to let that dry and then sand, otherwise you rub the wet concrete off. Now along the edge (as well as the top), I just put thin coats on so it didn't really drip at all. If you end up trying it, feel free to let me know how it goes!
Personally I think it looks horrible. It might have looked better if you stamped it.
