Length - 01:39 Find Concrete Countertop Supplies Renowned trainer Fu-Tung Cheng shows how to form concrete countertops using melamine. This material is a basic tool needed to form concrete counters. Melamine is a particle board that has been treated with a plastic coating on both sides. This material is reusable, cheap, and it's available at any home improvement center. When the mold is removed from the concrete countertop, the surface will reflect whatever imperfections may have been present in the mold. For this reason melamine is used because it is a clean and smooth surface and leaves fewer imperfections than other concrete forming materials like wood (which leaves the impression of the wood grain). In addition, melamine is useful because you don't need 30 years experience troweling concrete to get a nice concrete countertop finish—the melamine does the work for you.
