Specialty Molding
Anybody who has poured their own concrete countertops.?
I really think I can do this (pour my own) and I want to really bad, however, the web sights that I find do not really get to the point about adding color, or where to buy the coloring for that matter. I am not so good at reading all the ins and outs of concrete countertop. There has to be a simple plan as far as mixing everything. Can you get everything you need at Lowes or do you have to buy from specialty concrete dealers? I know about building the molds and other construction details. I want dark countertops like coal. Can any body give me real step by step information about mixing, coloring, and sealing. There has to be a way to keep it simple. Can anyone help? I can’t afford to pay anyone to do this because I have spent all our money on everything else, and it seems pointless to put anything in there that I will want to change later. Any good information would be greatly appreciated. My mind gets boggled when confronted with to many details, like algebra.
Good for you to want to do this. Concrete counter tops have been in vogue for several years now and, when done correctly, will give you the same service as granite.
You probably have some time constraints at this point since it sounds like you’ve done your project and have some cost over runs–but before you do anything–please invest in this self help book. It’s simply titled “Concrete Counter Tops”, only $29.95 and well illustrated. Go to your book store and look through it before you buy it to see if it is what you need–even check your library to see if they or a satellite library has it.
