After watching the YouTube clip below from WS & Company, I've become eager to use this technique/material on my existing kitchen countertops, which currently consist of a mix of wood panels and tiles. Perhaps even on my existing tile wall in the kitchen. I understand that there may be problems with tiles, and I could of course take them down... but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. I also know that there are new countertops in various materials to install and even the option to cast your own concrete countertops, but I'm hoping to shortcut a bit and reuse the existing panels, which are also somewhat special in dimensions and solution. I might even consider getting help for this to make it as good as possible.
Now to my thoughts...
- Has anyone done something similar? Tips, experiences?
- If I understand correctly, it's the concrete acrylic that is the big secret. Could there be other alternatives to the plaster that might work just as well and might be sold locally? ...also alternatives to the concrete acrylic if anyone has tips on that.
- How would you think about the roughness of the surface? Even if a rough surface is nice, it might not be practical.
- How would you think about finishing and surface treatment?
- What type of professional group could help with this?

Already the opening text in the video makes me shudder!TobbeBeam said:
