FATC1TY said:What's the cost per square ft roughly ?
im having granite installed soon, very good price for custom stone and installer its only 35 a square ft cut and installed.
I like the concrete stuff though but don't have desire to do it myself. I also have around 75 sq ft to do as well and two islands. Too much work!
looking forward to finished picsColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013 -
@Chubbs Thanks for the info. I am thinking of doing this in the men's room at work. I have been pricing SS sink stations and this looks like it might do the job at a reasonable price.

Nice info. Might look into it for my outdoor kitchen. I can build something with some prefab cabinets and some frame work. Then these. Would be killer etched and stained!
hope they turn out great for you.

Removed the forms this AM. Few area to patch with slurry mix but I kind of like the look of the pin holes. Might leave it. So far so good and well worth the investmentColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

Fantastic. We looked into concrete installed by someone but ended up with soapstone. I really like it. Good luck with the back splash.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Sanding concrete seems strange. Surprisingly it behaves like wood when using the diamond sanding pads in their kit. The kit comes with 60, 150, and 300 grit. I only used the 60 in a few rough area where some sand showed through. sing it all over would remove too much material and show the aggregate. I lightly went over it with 150 grit and 300 grit. It is velvety smooth right now but I am applying a micro topping mix later this week. This will get rid of the sand shining through in a few spots, fill the few pinholes on the edge profile, and cover up the few trowel marks left in a small area. Then I will post final pics. I cant imagine what it would cost for someone to install for you. This was 1,000 pounds of concrete and my back felt like it was 10,000 pounds by the end of the night.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013 -
Starting to look like stone. Sanded it with 150, 220, 300, and 400 grit today (by hand) and starting to seal. Have to clean up the inner sink lip but getting there.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

Here is a view to show the shine on the countertops. I am not even going to apply the countershine product. This is plenty gloss for us.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013
