I use a orbital sander with no paper to vibrate the sides. Works great

I love my concrete counters 8 years after doing them myself using this same system. One pro tip - drape sheet plastic over the fronts of the counters before installing the Hardie Board - it cuts away easily after pouring and polishing, but makes cleanup MUCH faster.

Lots of great tips in this video. Really appreciate your fast pace, hitting all the important details without lingering.

I did some custom cement counter tops over a decade ago from scratch - Here's another very cool tip!! Buy white cement, use white sand, buy yellow oxide powder and you can literally tint it to a light river sand color. Now - use a white powder cement waterproofer in the cement mix, this will give you a tuscan look with varying tints of the same color - plus it makes the sealer go alot further cos it wont soak in as much - Once you put on the epoxy resin (or whatever sealer) the colors will look amazing. . They bleed out and it really makes form some amazing results - Takes some experimenting but well worth looking into! One important note - for large counter tops that require multiple mixes - mix all the dry goods together first - that way you get a consistent look! This is my own self designed system - done a few jobs and always comes out awesome looking.

Bless this man for bringing us all 3:00am content

I went 18" floor title for counter top. They look like Italian Marble.. Its a eye attraction. Every one loves it. I do myself > I made it all by my self! Only took a week in my spare time. Pulling the sink out, and update it! Took the most time

Ya know, most videos I've seen on the tube include a lot of finish sanding to smooth the concrete out, kudos to you showing that patience, and a light touch during smoothing leaves a smooth top.

I am literally not lookin to do absolutely nothing to my countertop I just watched this because I was bored and this seemed satisfying😂

This is by far the best tutorial I've seen for this method of countertops. You're a good communicator and teacher and you went over those very important details that a lot of people miss such as: DON'T USE A STEEL TROW BEFORE THE FLOAT, AND NOT TOO EARLY!. I screwed up an entire countertop that way.

Awesome! Screwing in the boards from the top and then adding concrete so it can never be removed again is such a smart idea...

maybe a slight bevel or round on those edges, they look quite brittle and would be prone to chipping.

After YouTube kept recommending this video more than 8 times, I finally caved in and watched it. I felt dirty and cheap BUT I’m glad I did. I was not disappointed! Great tutorial!!

As a decorative mason i love this video never heard of the concrete solutions countertop forms, definately will use in the future. However a good tip for getting a nice "beveled" or "bullnose" edge without having to grind or router it is to use a bead of silicone caulk in every hard corner of your form and use a caulk tool or your finger to give it a nice rounded edge.saves time and money so you dont need to buy a router or expensive concrete beveling blade

A few small tips that could come in handy- Cover hardy backer with plastic, will further dry time. Use a long level to check from as many angles as possible. There's a lot of trust in the cabinets 'levelness' in using the forms. Use a longer mag trowel in initial screed, long enough to touch front to back. Vibrate under countertop (palm sanders work well) to get best consistency. Use a pool trowel to further finish concrete* (tricky but rewarding) Sand countertops with fine grit before seal. Knock down sharp edges with sand paper or stone. Pretty good video overall, but could use a few pointers.

I love the look, the simplicity of clean lines!! Perfect modern finish, perfection! Really well done 👍

The way you speak. No ands or uhms. So refreshing. You deserve any more views. You could have a show

Enjoyed seeing it come together! That’s awesome how the fronts of the form just snap off. Great job explaining it!

My wife recently asked about concrete counters when we were discussing some renovations. I told her I could do it, after a little research. The last time I saw it done was over 30 years ago. Your video was refreshing to see there have been some innovations in the industry to make it a lot more user friendly. Thanks for the video.

Tile is so hard to get. Cause there either isn't enough to do a whole kitchen. So it took me 4 months to get enough title. AND THE TYPE OF TITLE I WANTED > To start the job... It was worth the wait. IT EASY TO CLEAN, AND VERY DURABLE > to cutting on it, banging on it. hot and cold skillets and things. Plus if you spill some thing on it. IT DON'T RUN ALL OVER THE TOP. It pretty much stays there > I like this title so much that i did all the window seal bottoms in it. A Deep freeze top for a butcher table, and a bar. Not counting all the Kitchen. It gave my log cabin new life. and made it look AWESOME 👍
