Best video I’ve seen on the topic. Thank you!!!

Thank you! I'm looking to finish off my first concrete (small, outdoor) countertop and this is EXACTLY the information I was looking for. The Top N Bond is about all I can find in these crazy times and I wasn't sure if it would do the trick. The sieve thing is a great idea. I will pick some up and give it a shot tomorrow!

Nice! Thank you. i have mucho voids in my countertop, now I know what to do about it.

Great video. I am in a part of the world with few specialty products for making the concrete slurry. Is it possible to just use cement, water and one other basic bonding product that would be found in a small hardware cornerstore? And what would that be?

What do you think about Mike haddock’s bonding agent of wetting the surface you bond and then making a paint of Portland cement? I have used it and never had an issue sticking to anything, but I have only messed around for a few months and I am an amateur of an amateur

Thank you! This was extremely helpful!

Did folks in the mining field ever coat things with slurry to make a faux rock around the goodies?

[doogiehowser]

i love youtube to find out trade secrets like this that were once impossible to find out

[daviddellariva]

Can you just use pure Portland cement and water to fill in all those pin holes??
Thanks for the video!

I recently had to have a hole cut in the concrete slab of my home. In doing so they used water to reduce the dust when jackhammering and sawing into the concrete slab. I’m presently trying to remove that slurry like material which has now dried on the concrete surrounding the now filled hole. Any advice would be welcome

Great informative video does the surface need to be roughed up first or will this product bond well to a wet smooth surface?

Hello. Thank you for a great video. My counter top is about 20 years old and was lightly sealed. It is a dark grey and it has lots of pock dents from time and use and acidic foods. I would like to fill in the pocks and refresh without changing the color. Would your method work for me. Any thoughts. Thank you!

How does Top-N-Bond work with a penetrating sealer? Does it leave light-colored spots where the sealer doesn't get absorbed?

[gdw]

Great, well explained video. Quick question: can you add pigment to the slurry?

[joco]

What the hell would we do if pancake batter didn't exist? Lol

[Imhalfamazing]

Damn good video, but that sifting is a pain in the ass.
