Here is a video overview of all the steps outlined on this page:
SET-UP FORMS
Build a form to contain the concrete. This form can be made of various materials, and should be water-tight.
Most forms are built from Melamine- particle board that has been coated with a thin coating of plastic, usually white. Melamine is what most cabinet shelves are made of, and can be bought at most hardware stores or lumber yards. We will use melamine as the form material for these instructions.
Other options for forms are Formica, Plexiglas, Glass, Plywood, Rough Wood Planks, etc.
Draw your measurements onto the melamine with a pencil. Remember to draw your countertop upside down, since you will pour the concrete countertop with the top down, and flip it over later. To learn more, head to our site!
