    I think this looks Great! The veins look natural and not overdone.

    Awesome job Emily. Less veining is better than to much. It looks to busy. Really enjoying your content.

    That turned out pretty good, and that is saying something because as an earth scientist I am rather picky when it comes to fake rocks! Lol

      @@ascienceguy-5109 thanks! You can’t match the real thing, but for a rental and less than that cost of laminate- I think it looks nicer than laminate would :)

    I’ve seen this process before but it was a garage floor with pennies included in the epoxy!

      I’ve seen bar tops like that! I actually just signed up for a training so I can learn garage floors, showers, all of it you can think of!

    The tops look really good. Good job! Would you do it again and can you compare the cost and time to the cost and time of a new laminate install?

    I too would love to know what people do to keep stray bits of crap from landing in freshly-poured epoxy. I'm thinking about pouring clear epoxy over a design of some sort (no decision yet) and stray bits of dust, etc. in the top coat would drive me crazy. Perhaps everyone just decides to live with it?
    That said, thanks for the detailed demonstration of the process: too many videos make it seem like it's so quick and easy.

    Beautiful marble-look finish, Emily. Would you say this process would be much the same for a molded bathroom countertop sink? Of course, porcelain (or whatever it is) is different than painted countertop, but would the materials and application be much the same? A bathroom remodeler started mine and then abandoned the whole job, so I have the option of removing his work and going with how it was, adding to it as it is, or starting over like yours. He only did the sink with his initial application and never finished it. I might want to do the whole thing, if I don't remove his work and go with the original finish. Thanks

      @@100vg I think you could do it over anything. If it’s something super slick, I would just sand it to scuff it up first before you primed and painted your base.
