How can I make a concrete countertop?
I want to do my own "cement" refacing of counter top. Thought about putting an epoxy into cement to harden further still and maybe that will help with the leveling process. Does anyone have any ideas of the best way to DIY cement resurfacing of laminate counter. I have even heard of using car body filler ... any suggestions for very limited budget thanks

DIY Concrete Countertop Overlay!
Do not add anything to the concrete unless it specifically states so on the product. Concrete is basically a water based substance. Some epoxy will not mix with it properly and can actually weaken it.
Ardex has a concrete refinishing system or an overlayment. Look at the videos suggested above for methods of pouring your countertop.
