[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 124913, member: 704"] Davey C I do most of my own work. At the cost of labor a person has to or has to be wealthy. Anyway, I poured my own concrete counter tops for my outdoor kitchen. I bought the countertop concrete at Lowe's in Bismarck. I only goofed a little because I didn't have anything to measure my stain. I thought I could do a good enough job eyeing it. Nope. Anyway when I poured the one 5 gallon bucket it was a little lighter and caused a little discolor in the center of one. I used hardware cloth to hold it all together if it cracked, and I lined my forms with plexiglass. That gave it a shine like a polished granite countertop. I am very tempted to buy the diamond polishing kit from Rockler. It uses five different grits that attach to a 5 inch angle grinder. I did the edges of my countertops with masonary 5 inch diskes and it makes it look very much like granite. I will get off here and try post a pic from my phone.[ATTACH=CONFIG]6951._xfImport[/ATTACH] You can buy quarts or agate stone to add to the mix. If you do it comes out looking very much like granite.
