How do I get a paving material countertop?

I have heard of a concrete like paving material that doesn't need to be applied heavily. I have plywood countertops (removed old counter) and want a new finish. We live in a mobile home.

Hi Nancy,
Here's a tutorial about how to use feather concrete for a countertop. There are a lot of tutorials and video's online so I would suggest that you use this as a starting point in your research. I've also included a link to several concrete countertops posted by other Hometalk members. Some of these may be regular concrete, not the once that you apply lightly. Take the time to read articles and watch videos so that you have a lot of information before you start. Wishing you success with your project! - Linda

Daich has a countertop material made of crushed stone that looks really good.
There are two different "feather Finish" products that can be used to create the concrete countertop look. One is called Henry's Feather Finish which is grey, and the other is Ardex which is white, but can be tinted. Here are three links on Hometalk to give you some directions and how the finished product looks. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/kitchen-dining/kitchen-dining-furniture/concrete-counters-feather-finish-over-formica-my-version-29325256 https://hometalk.com/diy/-4634811 https://hometalk.com/diy/kitchen-dining/kitchen-dining-furniture/our-experience-with-diy-ardex-counter-tops-10627234. I did check and these products can be used on plywood. Good luck.
