After grinding the countertop and side panel with a masonry grinding 'blade' I moved on to sanding it. I started with 60 grit then moved to 80, 150, 220 - and after endless hours of sanding and grinding I was finaly okay with the surface. Then I cleaned the surface and brushed and vacuumed off as much dust as I could. Next I applied 3 coats of a penetrating masonry/concrete sealer. Patience is a must. Next is the bees wax finish coat.
Sidenote: I think using the glass peices was a little ambitious for my first countertop. The surface did not come out as nice as I had hoped due to the glass bits. I dont plan on using any for the kitchen countertops at this point.
