DIY Concrete Countertops 3
The next step for me was to take the glass and place it roughly in the amount and area of my forms [which Are white melamine with siliconed edges]. Once that was done it was time to mix my concrete. I mixed a portland cement in buckets for the top surface and poured that first. I placed my galvanized wire down on top of the first half of concrete. Then I mixed a fiberglass reinforced concrete and poured that second until the level reached the top of the sides of my forms. I pulled a straight piece of wood across the top to smooth/level the bottom surface. Then I took a sander without sandpaper and vibrated around the entire mold to get as much air out as possible. I also tapped the edges all around with a hammer in case the sander wasnt gettin git all. Now I just wait for it to set and hope I dont break it when I take it out of the form.
