Sealing Concrete Countertops


Im looking at using an epoxy sealer for my countertops to help give them a real plastic look for some customers. The sealers I use now are lithium based penetrating sealers. Pentra-Sil sealer and Pentra-Guard which gives it a fairly nice gloss. Then I throw a couple coats of wax on.

Would I have to wait until the concrete is completey cured to throw on the epoxy sealer? And can anyone recommend a good one that is fairly abrasion resistant?

I figured food safe would be an automatic conclusion.
