Book Reviews of Cast-in-place Concrete Countertops: A Guide for Craftsmen

Book Review: Precast > Cast in place
Summary: 2 Stars

Even in the introduction the author admits a pre-cast in melamine will create better results than a cast in place.

Don't bother with this if you want professional results. No DIYer will be able to trowel nearly as smoothly as a precast. Cheng or Buddy Rhodes books address this style.
