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!

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?

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

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

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

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!

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

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

Are you talking the slurry coat when polishing concrete, which is what I am teaching in the video? This is a special instance. When polishing, you end up with micro pores. You need tok fill them, then proceed with polishing. The slurry coat made with super-fines is to fill those pores, then the remainder polished away.

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

On that countertop? Have you already used a penetrating sealer and are now trying to go back and fill in the mini voids?

@@carolinasconcretecowboy-di9499 Hi- Thanks for replying. No, the slab has nothing on it-- I just made it. I'm about to fill the voids and I'm worried about using a material that will look different than the main concrete after I apply the sealer.

@@eugeneboronow9779 proceed because you have to continue concrete polishing after you fill the voids. Then use the penetrating sealer. Polishing is the great equalizer.

Agreed, but necessary if wanting to make your own material. Thanks for the comments! Stay safe and stay well!
