    Pour the white Epoxy Resin with grey shade and make the counter top shiny

    Cool, simple and affordable. Redguard is smart. One of my early outdoor jobs I poured on top of some plywood that the contractor had set up. After a few weeks the top was all cracked to pieces from the expansion and contraction.

      I agree that reinforcement would help to get rid of cracks, but, with cement, the proportions of the composition and the speed of hardening are also important.

    I've watched quite a few concrete counters videos and they've all said to work with a couple of people: one to mix and one to pour into the forms and smooth as you were doing. So, as a novice should I have two? I don't know how quickly I can work at smoothing the concrete out in the forms.

    • @claytonhnelson
      @claytonhnelson  3 роки тому +3

      Thank you for the comment Joel, it all depends on the size of the countertop. In most cases you will have enough time to work it to the point of troweling. If it’s a larger top you’ll need help. This one was about 20 ft.² it was easily managed by being alone.

    • @Worldsbestname
      @Worldsbestname 2 роки тому +1

      You could always pour a few diff batches, then do slurry coat and blend in after.
      That way, could do essentially multiple smaller, manageable parts alone

    • @drumboyhedgehog
      @drumboyhedgehog 2 роки тому +3

      Easy, sand the concrete top using 120 grit on a palm sander, give it a good rinse with a hose on jet setting or a power washer if you have one. Make a portland cement slurry using pure portland + water. Do not bother letting it dry out, in fact, give it another quick spray and wait for it to be absorbed (this will prevent the concrete from instantly absorbing all water in the slurry making it unworkable within seconds). Use a drywall putty scraper to spread it around...work it in good getting all those pores and holes filled in. Work quick though, give it one final scrape across the top to remove the majority of the slurry that didnt end up inside a pore or hole. give it 24 hours to set and dry. Sand it with 400 grit sand paper on a palm sander until its nice and smoooooth. You could also try 600. Apply a coat of XS-327 food grade concrete sealer.
      Also, no counter is impervious to knife chops.. you will ruin most counters with knife chops and on concrete you will put scrapes into the sealed surface over time. This is why cutting boards exist ;). In fact its just good hygiene to always use a clean cutting board.
