Build & Install Concrete Countertop

alright so the countertop bill Dave today picked up a few supplies that be necessary for this job first part is we have the concrete itself some silicone and the cocking tool and the MVP the melamine I prepared the mold by degreasing with rubbing alcohol first applying a light coat of automotive acts and then applying a liberal amount of silicone into all the joints and edges and using a [ __ ] tool to spread it all out once a drive I remove the excess squeeze out silicone leaving only what's inside the center of the joints to be what bevels the edges of the concrete when it dries then it was ready to start mixing the concrete for the concrete I used about three and a half eighty pound bags of the quikrete pro fiber reinforced mix and started mixing it to a consistency of oatmeal and filled the mold one bag at a time typically when pouring concrete countertops you would lay down a metal mesh with the help to reinforce it but this product already has the fiber reinforcement so from my research I do not need it now check back in a few months and I'll tell you exactly how it's holding up but I feel pretty confident about this after the concrete cured for three days I remove the molds and flip the concrete countertop over - what now will be its top side filled any exposed air bubbles with a little bit of Portland cement once that dried I lightly wet sanded it and applied a few coats of sealer to protect the countertop from staining for
