Mike. I kid you not, I must have watched over a thousand videos on how to make concrete countertops! Yours are hands down the absolute best! Very informative, straight forward, and to the point.

Mike, I watched your "1-Hour Countertop" video, a couple times, followed all your instructions, and poured my first ever concrete countertop today. It was a great reward to see it release from the mold nearly without a flaw. (Hence me needing to watch the concrete sealer video.) I appreciate your precision with measuring the water/mortar mix, and how well you demonstrate all required techniques of each step. Other videos I have seen are needlessly complicated, especially for a small countertop project, but your video makes the process so approachable. I had a sneaking suspicion it would not actually be as hard as some of these videos make it seem to fab my own countertops, but your video was the catalyst in motivating me to attempt this. I credit you for my success with this, and also wanted to say thanks for a lot of things. Your sense of humor belies the amount of information and expertise needed to be doing what you are doing, and your humility and sincerity are most admirable. Thank you for your generosity in sharing all of that with all of us.

Back splash: 1. Simply make a 4" tall piece, 3/4"-1" thick, same way as countertops. 2. Bead of Onyx collection clear silicone 1/4" from back wall on entire length of counter top, stop 1/2" from each end of countertop. 3. Place backsplash flat, upside down, apply same silicone beads in @ 3-1/2" circles, staying 1/4" minimum from all edges, across back of entire back splash. The circles of silicone will form a suction as you install the backsplash. 4. Line up backsplash with ends, set on top 1/8" from back wall and push backsplash into place evenly. Warning: If you get silicone too close to edges of backslash it will push out onto the wall during installation and you will NEVER be able to caulk or paint wall where wall and backsplash meet.

I think I like the first sealer the best overall, especially if I was making a table top or outdoor bar like in your other videos. If I was making like actual countertops for my kitchen or bathroom I think I would go with the epoxy though. Another spectacular video btw, you really need to quit your day job and move where the weather is nice year around so we can get a couple videos a week lol.

@@MichaelBuilds So like some others have mentioned, can this be dyed? Our paver patio has a black border and I would like to carry that over into the counter top.

@@bonahisme Awesome job, Jonah. I've been trying to figure out how to dye the Rapid Set like you did and thought I'd ask how you achieved it? I was thinking something like Cheng Concreter Countertop Pro-Formula Mix might work as an additive, but I'm also hesitant to mix products from different manufacturers as they might not play nice in the long run. Would appreciate the tip! Cheers

@bonahisme 5 жыл бұрын

tastybarrels9 no problem 👍🏻 Cheng pro formula is a stand alone product line. Super good, but very high-end. This is a much more affordable alternative. As far as the dyes or coloring goes, I used concrete dry pigment. Very cheap for a small one pound bag. I went to my local concrete company and bought it from them. They had a book with many colors to choose from. I tried to get it at Home Depot, but they don’t carry any dyes. I hope this is helpful. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

The glaze is my favorite!!! I noticed it darkened the stone, and I’m wanting to color the mix when I make my topper. Should I go with a lighter color for the stain if I go with glaze?

Great video, Thank you for taking the confusion out of sealing concrete counter tops. I own a brewery and instead of paying someone over $10,000 to do this project, I am doing it myself for under $1,500. I will show the progress.
