Make DIY Concrete Countertops I am thrilled to be guest posting here today and sharing a tutorial on our new concrete countertops We also got a new sink, faucet, made over our island, added new accessories and a table, painted, added a built in desk, and lots more, but today, lets focus on those gorgeous counters. Before we get started, let me tell you that this is a picture heavy post with lots of steps but totally worth every minute of it. A kitchen our size will cost you only about 4. We estimated that our counters would have cost 4,4. Thats a huge savings Ok, wanna know how to make them Step 1 Build forms. Start by measuring your current counters.

We did the counter and the backsplash so we measured both of them the same as our current counters. Then you will need to buy melamine board to create your forms. We got this at Home Depot. This type of board will give your counters a smooth finish. Cut them to the size of your counters. Lucky for us, we know some people with some big tools. We used 3 sheets of melamine to create our forms, and had a little leftover. Step Two assemble the forms. Sand Patch Method Discussion' title='Sand Patch Method Discussion' />Once again, double and triple check to make sure you have all the pieces you need and that they are the correct sizes. Mike predrilled each hole and then put the screws in place so the boards wouldnt crack. Once your forms are built, youll need to find an area to pour them. We have a 3 car garage so we used the area that we dont normally park in. We bought two sheets of plywood and shimmed them so they were level. Then we covered them in plastic to protect them from the concrete spills that are bound to happen. Step Three prep the boards for pouring. We taped off the boards and added a silicone bead around the entire thing. This helps to keep the concrete sealed in and also creates a slightly rounder edge on your finished counter. Once you get the silicone on, use your finger and wipe off the excess. Then remove your tape. Step Four  spray a release agent on your boards. We used a small squirt bottle that we already owned and wiped it with a napkin to make sure it was evenly distributed. Dont skip this stepOur counters slid right out when we were done. Step five Now its time to pour We rented a small concrete mixer for the day cost around 4. We bought a countertop Quikrete mix through our local Home Depot. They had to special order the mix for us and it arrived within a week. We had about 4. 5 sq. This type of concrete is around 1. You can use regular concrete but you will have to add some additives for extra strength and crack resistence. Downlaod Dll Files. This already has it in there so you know that your counters will be strong. Next, start mixing The directions say to use about a gallon of water per bag but we learned the hard way by repouring a couple that you really need about a gallon and a half. Add water until you have the right consistency similar to the consistency of a Wendys frosty. Too much water can make your counters lose strength and not enough can make it rocky so you have to be careful here. You pour half the concrete in, smooth it out, then add a wire mesh in the middle. This helps reinforce the counters. You will need to cut this ahead of time and leave an inch or two around all sides so that it doesnt stick out I used a trowel to smooth out the concrete as Mike poured in it. Once it is all poured, you will want to walk around the sides of the forms and vibrate it to get rid of any air bubbles inside. You can use a hand sander and push against the sides or lightly tap the edges with a hammer. Either method will work. Then, use a smooth piece of wood we used a 24 to screed the top. This scrapes off the excess concrete and smooths out the surface for you. This will be the bottom of your counter so you want it level so it will sit nicely on your counter. This is how it looks when its finished and ready to harden. Step Six Finally, cover your poured concrete with the rest of the plastic. This helps the concrete cure and keeps a little bit of moisture in there. Step Seven demolding. Let it sit for a few days before demolding. If you use the release agent, the counters should slide right out as you flip them over. You can however, simply unscrew the molds to remove them as well. Mike unscrewed them all to save his screws We laid them out onto foam board when we demolded to give them a soft place to land. Step Eight  finishing. You will likely have some small holes to patch. I actually was glad we had some because they had so much character to the finished piece. We patched ours with a simple concrete patch from Home Depot and sanded the entire surface until it was smooth. We purchased a diamond grit sand paper on the recommendation of the many tutorials we watched but in the end, we arent sure it was worth it. They worked great and last a long time but simple sandpaper would have done the same thing you just may have to buy a lot of it We used a 5. Step Nine Once it is all sanded and smooth, seal it up We used a high gloss concrete sealer and rolled it on. I did three thin coats. Then put it in place. We used silicone to secure the slabs down and to attach the backsplash pieces. Step Ten finish it all off with a polish of carnauba wax make sure it is 1.
