Custom Concrete Counter Tops Start to Finish Part #1

[patabird23]

Great suggestion. We sealed up and put a back splash along the back so hopefully that sealed it. I guess I'll find out. But 6 months so far and no cracks. First time doing this. Not claiming of being a "pro" so I didn't know but also didn't have to pay for one.

using plywood for the back of it its not a good idea because when it gets moist it expands and contracts and it cracks the counter top in corners especially, if anyone does this its good to use treated plywood but for the best cement board is the way to go, a pro knows this.....

where is part 2?

I started at 50 grit. Took about 5 hours to polish it to 3500 grit. Most of the time was spent clean up water on my new cabinets and floor after each grit change. Took up a lot of time but worth it.

how long would it take u to polish this work surface up top a 3000 grit?

Pull out the concrete cutter. I'm betting that the sink make longer than I live in the house.
