DIY Concrete Countertops 1


So I have finished assembling my forms for my bathrooms concrete countertops with integral concrete sink basin. Bought my melamine forms, cut and caulked the edges/seams/sink basin. I had to think a lot more since you have to create the negative of what your counter will be. I have a portland cement for the top 1/2" which will be mixed with glass (clear and blue tinted from bottles I have been collecting). The rest of the counter will be poured with fiberglass reinforced concrete (which I could only found at Home Depot for some reason). I have my galvanized metal mesh cut down to size for my reinforcement now also. Next is the pour.
