Pouring a concrete countertop should be left to a professional not because it's too hard to figure out, but because -
*The tools needed are specialized.
*The countertop creating supplies are expensive.
*A professional knows little tricks for success
and knows what to do when things go wrong.
And
**When the professional finishes the counter top and there was a huge air bubble in the side that no one saw, The professional has to redo it at no cost to you.
There is a product called Henry's Feather Concrete that does not require a mold. I would highly suggest that your read several articles before doing it.
Can you use a cement board (I.e. Hardie board, Duroc) on top of the original countertop and seal it to get a "cement" countertop? If so, will it be heat resistant?
Our kitchen countertop is 4" ceramic tiles with a base of 1-1/2 to 2 inches of concrete on top of our walnut cabinets. We want to save money and demo them ourselves....
