Copper Countertops Under 20$ What????
Three of the 4 squares in this picture are real copper countertops, gorgeous, shiny, and expensive. However one of these squares is MY copper countertop. Which is also gorgeous, shiny, but cost less than $20 and as it turns out, is made of concrete.

Wow! I'm thinking of our very out-dated bathroom sinks, and this may be the ticket! Madison, one concern, however--you were careful to use gloves when applying the concrete, but I noticed you didn't when applying the copper product and the blue. Our skin is one of the most absorptive organs, and the chemicals in these products are very toxic. Maybe next time you have a similar project, just keep those gloves on! :)

Hello Madison, I have been thinking about refinishing my manufactured marble counter top in bathroom. I have done similar projects over the years with varying results. I have tinted kiln primer in the past and got a great finish for plywood cabinets. After reading your process, it occurred to me tha I might create a similar affect by using the copper pigment in a good primer like kiln. Apply it over well sanded marble several times and sealing it with the wax patina. My manufactured marble is also peach colored. Do you have any ideas concerning my ideas. I really like your results. Thank you, Susan Gibbs

I think sealing it with a wax patina is brilliant!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Can I use any kind of concrete? I'm looking for the cheapest option possible. And I will only need a small amount. Thanks!
I AM IN LOVE!!!! Do you think this could work if your countertop has the molded sink in it?(straight outta the 90s over here) Could it handle water? Thanks so much!!
Did you film the backsplash or do you have another link? Would love to see
