Oh my gosh! This is FANTASTIC. I've done Giani countertops in another home, and was just now pondering what to do with the boring ones in my new place. Buying!!!
Questions: 1. Can the marble spray be dabbed with a sponge to soften or "ghost" it? 2. Is the paint compatible with some Feldspar, Inca Gold, or Bronze that I have on hand? I'm thinking to add a step to make soft, barely there "blushes" with some Black Onyx before putting the marble down.
@@jenna2431 great questions! Here's what we recommend: 1. The Vein Spray dries fairly quickly, so sponging won't be possible. It's also not a water soluble material. However, we do recommend you sand after your veins dry, and before you use the Ultra Epoxy Resin Topcoat, so you could sand a bit more to lighten some of the veins. Sanding more could wear off the topcoat, so if you want, you could get an extra can of the Base coat and do 2 coats to ensure the Black Base doesn't wear. 2. You can most definitely use another Giani mineral color to create those blushes. We experimented with the Bronze and Feldspar, and our favorite was barely visible hints of Bronze, but definitely go with what you like best. Just make sure that the veins are completely dry before adding the color and you won't muddy the white. Hopefully that helps, Jenna. Give us a shout if you have any more questions!
@@GianiGranite it sucks. Followed directions perfectly and it's fl of lumps and took forever to fully cure. Customer service was a joke, and no help. Definitely don't recommend the epoxy kits to anyone.
i got my kit yesterday and i must say it was so easy to do i love it .it came out just like i wand it to .now the only thing i have to do is let it try for a week at lease .ty
Marita, Marita! That is exceptional news. Thank you for letting us know. I know it;s tough to wait a week for the entire countertop to cure, but trust me, it;s worth it. I just tiled my floors at home and had to wait a week for this particular grout to cure fully. It was an inconvenience, but wow! It was worth the wait! Much love ❤️
*UPDATE:* I just finished putting my epoxy down on my countertops and thought I'd give some suggestions. 1. Put your phone in a zip-locking bag unless you have somebody with clean hands to start your timer each time. I didn't mess up my phone, but was terrified that I might. Used a pinky to operate it, but wish I had planned to protect it. 2. Have extra gloves if your hands are prone to sweating. I'm pretty painting-disabled, so I wished I had put an extra pair on over the supplied ones. 3. It's easier than you think. Just breathe, have a plan, and rehearse the epoxy lay-down in your kitchen before you start so you can anticipate any issues unique to your kitchen configuration. As with anything, the mental game IS the game. :)
Nicky V, I completely agree! She has phenomenal technique. This is the point of our kits and this video though, to make it super simple for anyone to accomplish this by using our step my step instructions and video to complete a project like this.
Love this stuff, not hard to do just requires patience and time.. made my kitchen shine like new, I applied this during my complete kitchen remodel and it totally makes the difference.. small hint. DONT USE YOUR COUNTERS QUICKER THAN 4 WEEKS.. LIKE ALL EPOXIEIS IT TAKES TIME TO CURE AND HARDEN PROPERLY OTHERWISE YOU RISK DEEP SCRATCHES AND SWIRL WIPES ALL OVER THE COUNTER.. I waited and happy I did, I can wipe anywhere and it leaves no swirl marks anywhere.. if you’re to entitled and can not wait for the proper results, go elsewhere because you will cry about this product…
Haven’t made it to 4 weeks yet but it’s day 7 now and I tested the corner to see if it would scratch and it scratched so easily! So definitely gonna wait it out! Thanks for the advice never worked with epoxy before!
That's awesome to hear! Please reach if you need any help or have any questions when starting your project. We also love to see before and after pictures if you happen to take any!
I did our kitchen countertop last week. It came out great for the most part. Is there a way to touch up the epoxy where I didn't roll it on enough, which left it bumpy in some spots?
Raeanna, thank you for reaching out. We are able to help you fix this issue. Please reach out to our customer service by going to our website.

I wish this black marble kit was available two months ago. I ordered the white marble kit from Amazon and have been having a heck of a time trying to paint the paint each individual vein. It seems this kit is easier with the added spray csb for the veins. Is there any place I can purchase a similar spray can but in black or Gray that I can use on the white marble kit?
Hey Chris! In the Belgotta Kit, we use the White Vein Spray from Montana Marble. They make quite a few colors, including black and silver. We have used the black over our white Marble base, and it's pretty cool, but a completely different look than the original grey veining of the kit. That stated, if you want to give the grey another go, give us a shout and we can give you some additional pointers. Our number is 800-650-5699. A few things I can offer that might help are pretty easy to implement. 1) Try holding the artists brush really loosely and overhand like Ami shows in the video. It's tempting to hold the brush like a pencil for added control, but a gentler approach will allow you to paint more smoothly across your counters, and give you more variation within the vein. 2) Keep your veins thin. Thick veins tend to look like stripes and can start to form an unintentional pattern. 3) When I spray the veins with water, I dab quickly over the vein, straight down. I only push the paint from side to side if I need to thin a vein. Hopefully that helps. But if you need to talk it through with us, don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers!
I just did mine and I have one can left over tomorrow when I check my counter and I see spots that look bad can I put epoxy on those areas? I went thru with a light I didn’t see much but the back of my counter looks a lil thin is this normal till it dries down? Also if there are drip marks how do I get rid of those
Hey Rene! We used one kit plus 2 extra sets of the Ultra Epoxy Resin Topcoat. This kitchen is 95 square feet and our standard kit covers 35. Thank you for the compliment! We had a lot of fun doing this!
Hey James! Superb question. I know some epoxy mixtures smell pretty strong. We describe ours as extremely low odor. Honestly, when I use it, I don't smell it at all, unless my face is pretty close-usually when I'm inspecting for lint or dust that may have drifted into it after applying. I think it smells fruity and sweet. But it's not unpleasant at all. Like I stated before, I really don't notice it. If I gave it a time before the smell is completely gone, I'd say a couple of hours. Hopefully that helps. We have a lot of folks ask about the smell, and once they've used it, they report that it's so faint they don't think about it. We've taken a lot of care with the formula to make it ultra safe for consumer use. Cheers ☺️
Hey Tina, Having never tested that out, I would recommend steering clear of anything additional on top of the Ultra Epoxy Topcoat. Epoxy systems have compositions that differ from each other, sometimes slightly, sometimes a lot. So what might work for one system might not for another. Hopefully that helps.
Hey Aisha. Sorry for the late reply. We do have an acrylic topcoat that we package with our Giani Granite 100% Acrylic Kits. We have never actually tried it out with Black Marble, but the chemistry should be compatible. The only thing I would mention that could be a detractor, would be that it does yield a bit of a texture when dry. It's very slight, but worth mentioning. Instead of buying the Black Marble Kit and then the Acrylic Topcoat, you could buy everything for our A La Carte menu and it would save you some money. Here is the link to that page: gianigranite.com/collections/a-la-carte. Cheers!
Hi Mel, We do not recommend applying this to tile. It will cause it to look messy, clumpy etc. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you!
Hi! 😊 My only question is, is it easily stained? I've seen that real marble tends to absorb staining materials (such as red wine). Does the same go for the materials in this kit?
Hey Rose! Great question. The Ultra Epoxy Topcoat is stain resistant. Think about it as a layer of protective glass over the top of your countertops that is glossy and impermeable. Nothing penetrates this stuff. I would still recommend cleaning up spills as soon as you can. Things like mustard and red wine tend to leave behind traces on just about any surface if not cleaned up promptly. Cheers!
What if your existing formica has a texture to it. Like it looks like how they would do a popcorn ceiling but more subtle. I do need to sand that off right?
Hi Jennifer, good question. Our marble kits can be used on the below countertops. Formica countertops and vanities Laminate countertops and vanities Corian countertops** (see below for details) Butcher block countertops Cultured marble vanities** One-piece sink and counter vanities** Primed or painted wood** Primed or painted drywall Cabinet inlays Tabletops Mantels Granite** We have a FAQ section on our website as well that you may want to check out.

If you may need any other help or have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to our customer service reps Jake and Hailey. They are wonderful and are available to chat with you on our website from 7am-4pm. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Hey. Great question! You can most definitely do this on a desk. I would lightly scuff sand the surface, and then the rest of the instructions apply to the letter. The standard kit will cover way more than a desk, so you might want to purchase the contents A La Carte. That will make it more cost effective for the space you need to cover. Cheers!
It most definitely can be done on either of those surfaces. Wood has a slightly different prep, but the remainder of the steps are identical. Here is a link to the Marble FAQ page. The steps for Black Marble prep are the same as for the Marble Kit, so just follow those early surface prep tips for wood, and you're off and running. Cheers and give us a shout if you need anything else.
I waited 7 days before I put anything on the counter and my small toaster over, blender and a small bowl of candy left a marks on the counter. How do I get rid of the marks? I’m scared to put anything on it now.
13:55 in, you can see streak marks on the attached back splash. How do you prevent that from happening? My countertops all have the attached back splash.
What I do to mitigate that is brushing lightly over it throughout the process of coating the facing surface of the countertop. So when you're doing rolling on the tops with the Epoxy Topcoat, just keep checking the backsplash for drips. It's tough because the material is subject to gravity, but a little extra care will help. Plus the epoxy has a pretty long open time, so it won't start to set up while you're working with it. You should be able to brush out those drips for up to 30 minutes after applying it. If you start to notice it getting tacky, just levant it be and check it in about an hour. Good luck to ya!
Brittney! thank you for reaching out to make sure, but yes you are able to apply a second coat. If you have any other questions along the way, please feel free to reach out to us. Hailey and Jake are available Mon-Friday 7am-4pm on our live chat. I will put the link for our website below so it is easier to get to! gianigranite.com/
You can! The Epoxy Topcoat should level out into the textured areas. As long as it's not deep texture, you should be good. For instance, we recommend against using it on tile counters simply because the grout lines are much shallower than the tile and it's noticeable after the epoxy cures. The only thing that might be tricky is veining, but I bet you'll be able to make it look awesome! Cheers!
Hey Jasmine, you can pick one up right here: gianigranite.com/products/belgotta-black-marble-countertop-paint-kit Give us a ring if you have any questions, or live chat with us on our website 😊
Hey Patrick. This kit will cover 35 square feet. The demo kitchen in our video is actually around 95, so we had to add 2 Epoxy sets to the standard kit. But 35 is pretty typical. We have a square foot calculator on each product listing on our website. Just follow this link gianigranite.com/products/belgotta-black-marble-countertop-paint-kit and click on the HOW-TO tab and the first bulleted link will open a calculator. That way you can be sure you're getting the right amount. Holler if you have any more questions😊
Hey Tasmin. We don't quite yet. We usually give it a little time and gauge the reception of the full sized kit before creating a small project kit. However, you could purchase the items a la carte and effectively create your own. It would be under $100 before shipping. You would just need a can of the Iron Core Primer, an Ultra Epoxy Resin Single Set, a can of the White Vein Spray, A roller arm (comes with 2 covers), a foam roller, 1 of the 2" Foam Brushes, and a 2" Angled Brush. That should cover a single sink bathroom vanity. If you have double that space, you would just need to add another single set of the Epoxy. If you're interested in doing that, here is a link to the A La Carte page gianigranite.com/collections/a-la-carte. Or just give us a call and we can help you order exactly what you need for the area you have to transform. Cheers!
Hey Rockaland2, great question! You are most definitely wise to ask it. The Black Base Primer is water-based and it's VOC content is ultra low. To quantify the amount, it's 96.91 grams/liter, and the primer is a 12 oz. can. The VOC content of the White Vein Spray is actually made by a company called Montana. Here is a link to the SDS for that product www.dick-blick.com/msds/DBH_SDS_014501020.pdf And with regard to the Ultra Epoxy resin, it's Zero VOC due to the fact that it's solvent-free. It's a 100% solids formula, which means ultra low odor and extremely safe. Hopefully that helps. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to give us a shout. Our phone number is 800-650-5699, our email address is info@gianigranite.com, and we have a Live Chat feature on our website-no bots, just real people 😊

Yes it will stain don't believe her
What if your existing formica has a texture to it. Like it looks like how they would do a popcorn ceiling but more subtle. I do need to sand that off right?
Yeah you would

Great product. I wanted to do this with just a wooden work desk, can this be done or is it just for laminate xounter tops?

I waited 7 days before I put anything on the counter and my small toaster over, blender and a small bowl of candy left a marks on the counter. How do I get rid of the marks? I’m scared to put anything on it now.
Heat gun!! If that doesn’t work, sand it out, then repaint and reseal, then use epoxy to seal it and wait. Then it won’t do it.
How do you get up water stains or will it show after you put down the black primer
If they are flush; they won't show. I covered my nasty ass countertops in the apartment I started renting last week. Covered all sorts of stains
13:55 in, you can see streak marks on the attached back splash. How do you prevent that from happening? My countertops all have the attached back splash.
It will disappear when dried
What I do to mitigate that is brushing lightly over it throughout the process of coating the facing surface of the countertop. So when you're doing rolling on the tops with the Epoxy Topcoat, just keep checking the backsplash for drips. It's tough because the material is subject to gravity, but a little extra care will help.

Can you add glitter or mica chips?
I don't see why not... it won't look like granite though. But I considered the same thing when I did this, this week. :)
Can this be used on a textured Formica countertop?
You can! The Epoxy Topcoat should level out into the textured areas. As long as it's not deep texture, you should be good. For instance, we recommend against using it on tile counters simply because the grout lines are much shallower than the tile and it's noticeable after the epoxy cures.

Here is a link to the SDS for that product www.dick-blick.com/msds/DBH_SDS_014501020.pdf And with regard to the Ultra Epoxy resin, it's Zero VOC due to the fact that it's solvent-free. It's a 100% solids formula, which means ultra low odor and extremely safe. Hopefully that helps. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to give us a shout.
