What it concludes

• Using Z Counterform edge profiles allows you to snap off the forms easily after the concrete has cured, leaving the plastic underneath the countertop.
• Mixing concrete in buckets allows for precise measurement and consistent mix consistency compared to using a mechanical mixer.
• Adding sand and Liqui-Crete fiber glass mix to Quikrete high-strength concrete provides extra strength and workability for outdoor countertops.
• Removing the countertop forms after 24 hours of curing allows you to easily file away chips and smooth the edges while the concrete is still soft.
