Concrete dust is very fine and will stick to every flat surface in your kitchen. Sanding concrete counters can be messy.Ĭontinuing from my previous point about these counters not looking like poured concrete, think about what kind of mess you are willing to create. If you want modern counters, with perfectly smooth surfaces and sharp corners, then this project is NOT for you. ![]() There is a BIG difference between skim coat counters and poured concrete counters. Then I mixed another batch and did the other half of the counter. In my small kitchen, I found it easiest to mix a batch and apply to the counters on one side of the sink. If you mix too much concrete, and you don’t work fast enough, it will dry out. You can watch the video above to see how I applied the concrete, but I will type out a few notes here. It can’t hurt, right?!? A Few Notes About Applying and Smoothing the Concrete: At that price point, I think it would be well worth going with the additive instead of water. In fact, on the Home Depot website, it says that this additive is frequently bought together with Henry FeatherFinish.Īt the time I am writing this blog post, the price of the additive is under $7. The Webpage for Henry FeatherFinish reads “No primers or additives needed – ever!” – BUT…. I know that is not an option for many of you. On these counters, I used the concrete additive because that was recommended on the side of the Rapid Patch Feather Edge Pro that I used. I don’t have a straight-forward answer for you on this one.
