Thank God you use quality bottles to hold your product! I recently was doing a counter top at my customers home and while bringing in my supplies I stumbled over the threshold. I dropped a full (brand new, unopened bottle) on their dining room floor! The bottle held! Bent the top over but no spillage or damage! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Excellent instruction. I'm really thrilled for you guys and your continued success! I have a request. In many videos, including this one, I dont feel like I'm getting enough time to see the finished project. Even a still photo for 3 seconds would be helpful because as a viewer we can pause to see the beautiful details. Pausing the video often leaves motion blur so a still photo would be super helpful. Can you add another 10 seconds near the conclusion of your films to let us see the finished work?
Be VERY cautious using the epoxy over top of the spray on Stone Paint!! I followed the instructions right to a tee including proper environment, prep and drying times. After all of the time and money spent, after full cure time the epoxy pealed off the paint in one solid sheet. After a lengthy conversation with customer service I got the same old "sorry, sounds like you followed the instructions but I don't know what to tell ya there" Well jeeze, thanks for all the help!!!!
Fair & simple. Out of the choices, I'd choose the white then tan then black. As a physical geographer living in the PNW, for local granite colors try a cream or beige color instead of the white or a very light gray color instead of the dark grey. It would make it more natural looking in my opinion
You guys talk a good game, but I hear from a number of pro countertop installers in my neck of the woods that a lot of their business is ripping out epoxy coated countertops because they don't hold up over time, particularly in heavy traffic areas, like around sinks. I have commented on other YT videos with the same question, but no one bothers to respond, even though we are all encouraged to "comment below". So, will you respond, or join the list of those who don't?
That’s what I’m wondering too. I figure this isn’t likely to last for years and years or anything, but it does seem like a good idea for someone like me who just wants good looking counters for a couple of years 3-5 years” while I save up money for remodeling the whole kitchen and bathroom.
We’ve done kitchen and bath counters and the amount of time they hold up depends on how hard you are on them and the types of cleaners you use. It’s not a long term solution but will give you 2-4 years again depending on how you treat the counters. We needed to do some patch work after a couple years.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't last over time. When you make these wood counter tops, make multiple replacements at the same time. If you get fancy you can even figure out a "clip in" system using precut grooves like a Lego block.
I have a backsplash that is built-in of the counter top. I am assuming that spraying up angles and curves wouldn't be a problem and neither would it be a problem to brush on the epoxy. I like black stone as it looks sharp and modern.
I have a question before I buy this epoxy. On the video it shows it with drips along the edges then in the next clip they're gone. What is the best way to get a clean edge? Do I need to sand along the edge when I'm finished and if so what do you suggest is the best way to do this? Thank you! I like all of them. :)
I really wish I could do something like this. I would imagine that this is like everything else. The guy makes it look alot easier that it is.. I would imagine if I would attempt it, it wouldn't look nearly as good as when he did it..
I want to hire someone to do this in my new modular home. I wonder where I can find someone near Chilliwack British Columbia...guess I'll have to do some looking...I could give it a try starting in my bathroom but don't know if I want to . It looks tricky
Just wondering... is the countertop shown at the 1:08 mark natural or a Stone Coat Countertop? We haven't replaced our laminate with a natural stone because we can't agree on the same shades. But that one at 1:08?? We both fell in love with it! If anyone is still monitoring responses, let me know. And let me know if there's a video that shows the process. This whole concept is SO cool!!!
You created some really nice looking Schist, very nice. Where I live in Ontario Canada we have a lot of this type of stone that has inclusions of igneous rock as well. Have you ever done the spray stone and then done a colored pour over just a portion of it to create that dual stone meld?
We are wanting to do a black island top. No other colors just black maybe with black flacks to give depth. We also want a low sheen. Do you have any videos of this type of project?
Hi, curious on how you could do a similar look on a floor? is it possible to mix really tiny flakes into the epoxy base? I would like to create a natural looking polished concrete slab. The the one polished to the point we see aggregates, but just a tiny bit of sand color like your example here. Thanks.
Love the black. Got a question though. I really like when hairline gold veins are added. How would you go about adding very thin gold veins on this? Or could it not be done.
Yes you can add veins! Here is a video showing you exactly how we make our veins in epoxy and thanks for watching! -Nathan ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f85fXgZyqOY.html
@@StoneCoatCountertops yeah but the veins are usually added in when epoxy is down. With this stone spray can stuff it almost looks like a course material your spraying and then covering that with the top coat. If you put the veins in the top coat epoxy will they look like part of the stone top or will they have a 3D effect and look like they are floating above the stone since they are only in the top coat? And if you'd want to put them down before the top coat how would you do that without messing up the spray?
@@shawnbowen6833 Hi Shawn. I've only played with these products for a few months now, but I would do a clear coat (or whatever color you choose) and put the vein in that before you do the spray. Then top coat. Hope this helps!
Hey guys, Wow! That looks awesome, i have a few questions. 1 why did you not sand after spraying? 2 where can i get the epoxy? 3 my old house has pink arbourite countertops they are in good condition but have low cupboards so cant spray from very high. What do i do first? Need lots of help. Thx Michael
It's a toss between white or black.But the all turned out nice. How's the durability?What is the hardest wear and tear on the epoxy?I prefer the shiny so far
I am not sure if I want to do an indian red or not after seeing the black done. I have a Native American art piece my father in law gave us that site on our bar and I would like to match it as best as I can. After seeing how the black base coat looked, I'm tempted
Thanks for asking, Marie! You can totally apply it over existing granite countertops. Just make sure to sand it down with our 60 grit and apply the bonding primer before applying any epoxy! What kind of granite do you currently have, and how do you want to change it?
I have some rental properties that I am thinking of using this in, unfortunately the tenants think a Formica countertop can be used as a cutting board how will this hold up?
Using our Ultimate Top Coat will add durability to your projects! Perfect for someone looking for a strong countertop! -Nathan www.stonecoatcountertops.com/topcoat/
im trying to do a honed black granite look with a leather look finish with a VERY TINY specks of white in it ....any suggestions? im on a budget and hubby and I want to tackle this
I've used that stone spray a number of times. It's a cool effect but I should definitely use a mask next time. It stinks worse than normal spray paint.
I have dark grey granite/ marble kitchen counter but I want to have white grey counter. Is it possible to do this kind of job on actual marble or granite?
