Sorry guys for not replying
some what new to the forum and I have been really busy with work
easier than you think to do this type of counter top especially outside where water from a wet polisher is not an issue
it really is like pouring a reinforced concrete side walk on top of a block wall
I supported it with hardy backer
poured with a 2500 psi standard mix no need to use fancy counter top mixes or light weight blends
I use Davis concrete colors this one was a really inexpensive color (black colors are cheaper for some reason)
the biggest investment is a wet polisher $200-$300
for the best adhesion with a lacquer based sealer you only need to wet polish up 200 grit
I started with 50 grit, then 100 then 200
it took all day in a rain suit, rubber boots, and I had my I phone earplugs in under by ear protection
best to listen to Led Zepplin, or the Pink Floyd station on pandora for this kind of work
thx Rob
