Abstract
Methods of creating tabletops, countertops, and other tops with a layer of planar material; a waterproofing layer, a concreted board layer; a base coat mud compound layer; at least one layer of mesh embedded in the base coat mud compound layer; a bonding agent layer; a finish coat mud compound layer; and an epoxy layer.
Claims20
A method of creating a top, the method comprising:
- cutting a piece of planar material to desired dimensions for the top;
- applying a waterproofing solution to the planar material;
- cutting a piece of cement board to the desired dimensions of the top;
- fastening the cement board to the planar material;
- creating a base coat mud compound;
- applying a first layer of the base coat mud compound over the cement board;
- pressing a first layer of mesh material into the first layer of the base coat mud compound;
- pressing a second layer of mesh material into the first layer of the base coat mud compound over the first layer of mesh material;
- applying a second layer of the base coat mud compound over the second layer of mesh material;
- smoothing the second layer of the base coat mud compound to form a desired surface;
- allowing the first and second layers of the base coat mud compound to dry;
- applying a bonder over the second layer of the base coat mud compound;
- creating a finish coat mud compound;
- applying a layer of the finish coat mud compound over the second layer of the base coat mud compound;
- allowing the layer of the finish coat mud compound to dry;
- and
- applying a sealant over the layer of the finish coat mud compound.
