The fact you let somebody throw that respirator at your face, just for the clip.. priceless
Hahahaha! Dust flew all over my face! Worth it!!
❤❤Love You Guys
Great Spirit❤
That was hilarious
There's always a new nugget of information you share on your videos.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback!!! That is the video goal, helping folks gain the confidence to DIY their countertops and save enough money to go on a vacation vs paying the big box store to show up days late to your appointment
Excellent tutorial, thank you! I just completed my first one. It turned out very nice. I did learn a few things along the way that the tutorial doesn't cover as you guys are experts. Thought I'd mention it here which might save someone a bit of time.
1. I wanted to add a bit of sparkle so used glitter but the top coat spray-on finish covered it. I like that finish so not really sure if I would have done anything differently other than forget glitter in the first place. But if anyone wants a sparkle, use the appropriate glitter, not the one added to nail polish, it needs to be a bit grainier.
2. My 2nd coat of epoxy (I did use Stone Coat product exactly as in the tutorial) wasn't completely even due to a bit of texture so I mixed up a third layer. Unfortunately, I was a bit stingy on that third coat thinking a thin layer will do and it ruined the entire finish as it beaded up in places and didn't level out. Had to work my sander a bit to smooth out the surface and mix up a 4th coat. That coat was generous and came up very nice.
A NEWBIE TIP: Turn off your HVAC and keep any house pets away from the area, enter work area with minimal disturbance of air. I had dust settle on my first coat (cat hair, lint, etc.). I let the last coat and top coat dry with absolute still air in the room with windows and doors closed.
3. The drain got narrower with epoxy coats, the new appliance drain stopper didn't level well and is accumulating water at its edge. I will have to remove the drain stopper and grind out some material later to make the stopper fit better. Not a terrible situation but I am a perfectionist.
Overall, this was fun project. I am now eager to try other resin projects.
"I resemble that remark" is funny. Thank you
Ok well now that the new background wall has gone up I have no clue what you are doing with those sinks. That wall is gorgeous! Need details!
Very nice 👌 👍🏻 👏 😀
2 Questions: (1) Can I go over shower tile (plus grout) and (2) Can I go over the acrylic (?) basic shower insert? Thanks, you guys are great!
Mixing the 2 for the gray color was my idea a long time ago on a live.
I love your channel.
Mitch have you done any videos on removing scratches on epoxy countertop after having used for a year or so by appliances and everyday use? Is it required to sand and put new cleartop coat even though there's a tile backsplash?
RIP Mr. Fly 🪰
Epoxy is such a versatile substance.
Sure is! We designed this one to withstand the use and abuse in the kitchen and bathroom. Have you used epoxy for a project yet?
@@StoneCoatCountertops I've used epoxy paint on motor vehicles, and I use to be a GRP laminator. I've not used it for interior refurbishment and design, but I'm sure I will in the future. I can see how it would be great stuff in a Yacht interior, which is a plan in the pipeline.
After sanding what do you use to clean the sanded residue
Can I apply epoxy to a granite slab? If I can do that do you have a particular kit for granite?
We bought a brand new sink & vanity top for around $150. Super quick install. Sorry but I just would never go through this much work even if it was less expensive, which it isn't. 🤷♀️
I'm debating this decision. But I feel like doing the same thing. Just getting one for $150
Is the base coat a special paint, or is it just regular paint?
That was a great tutorial, Mitch!! 👍 Spray on finish seems so easy, but I miss the sparkle of the diamond dust! 🌟 Ken is a pro now!! And if you guys are the geriatric division, you are exceptionally agile!! 😂 Good to see Matt getting in there!! Those are very much like our bathroom sinks. Do you have videos that go into details on removing them and reinstalling them? You started talking tail piece and reattach plumbing stuff and my brain overloaded!! 🥴😵💫 MAJOR improvement on the background!! 💙 I can tell that is Rhonda approved!! 😉
Thanks Karen, you're always so supportive and kind! We need more like you on this planet! Thanks again for stopping by!
@@StoneCoatCountertops You're quite welcome!! 🤗
Are you able to do thin coats like that on butcher block? I want to epoxy a butcher block counter top but I do t want it shiny. Can you do a video demo on butcher block without it being so shiny that it takes away from the beauty of the wood?
Love the video! Awesome!
I'm planning to do my shower base with your epoxy. Can I use bondo on the titles after I cleaned and sanded it to smooth out the grout lines inserted of a leveler? Because the shower base is slanted towards the drain
I'd use a versabond thinset after prepping the shower pan with a bonding primer designed for that sort of application.
Don’t do it!!! Apparently they can reply to comments on RUclips but don’t answer emails from their customers.. it’s been over a month and I’ve reached out multiple times. The product is not scratch resistant as they say..
@ Stone Coat Countertops
Would it be possible to spray on the ultimate top coat? Was just curious.
Great question, the ultimate top coat can't be sprayed. It's too thick of a material for that.
Can you use these products on moulded plastic shower bases? It's not fiberglass, looks and feels more like vac or blow molded plastic. Thanks
It would bond following the same prep steps, few things to consider. The slop of the shower pan will cause the epoxy to self level down the drain. Epoxy without grit in the shower pan can be slippy. We have a clear grit we are weeks away from releasing. It would be best if the shower pan was not installed and you could let the epoxy self level down the pan. Apply thin layers, sand between coats with 220 grit
Will This Work For Kitchen Counter-Tops?❤
Yes
It sure can! Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy was designed and formulated for the kitchen and bathroom use and abuse
How long does super cast need to dry before I put on the topcoat?
I let the super cast cure a 48 hours or so before removing from the form. The smaller the pour the longer it will take to harden
18 seconds in to the video - a COMMERCIAL.
Can you add other colors to the white undercoat? or what other can you use to get other colors rather than white black or grey?
Great question, you can add other colors of paint into the white undercoat. What color would you like to see us carry that we don't have now in the undercoat?
@@StoneCoatCountertops would like a taupe or beige something with a tanish' undertone
Do you have to remove the countertops or can you just tape off and do in place? How long do they hold up?
Look at their other videos. They have a bunch that they do in place. They all look amazing
Great questions! We can go right over the old tops right in place, here is a video showing how I did this same technique in a customers home: ruclips.net/video/E-k7-WmgwHE/видео.html
And here is the Hill Billy Durability testing I did on a epoxy countertop! ruclips.net/video/_BfgY1BJnD8/видео.html
Lemme know if you have any questions after watching! Enjoy the durability testing, let me know what your favorite test was!!!!
I just finished mine in place, had to work the masking tape off a bit but not a big deal after caulking covered the rough edges.
I have this type of sink, but dual vanity. I would love to do the "pour" technique (or at least get that look). I'm thinking in the style of your bathroom tub surround.
Don’t do it… it’s not scratch resistant as they claim and they ignore emails from customers… terrible service and waste of time and money
@@bear3827 whaat!? Wow, thanks for the warning.
I've been thinking about the above warning. I'm going to take it with a grain of salt. Because the product requires the customer to follow a set of very specific instructions. In my experience with people, I know that there are a number of folks who do mediocre work, and think they're doing something. For example, I know a lady who purchased cricut products, her items were peeling, with further investigation, she did not follow instructions.
@@npursuit I have worked with epoxy many times.. i watched their videos for weeks, and followed the instructions to a tee and the counters turned out amazing, but within weeks of use have visible scratches all over them.. If you chose to ignore that, I think the lack of response from the company speaks volumes about how they (don't) stand behind their products.. (especially when there are many other countertop epoxy products on the market for a much lower price)
Also, they have gone ahead and highlighted your reply, but still refuse to contact me back. Lovely..
One question I have is what is the best place to do this kind of thing. I live in a humid environment how will that effect results?
That is a great question. High humidity causes the epoxy to cure at quicker rate. The working time is still 45 min once mixed but for instance if you have a tape dam up because you did an exotic pour you'll pull the tape between 1.5 - 2.5 hours after mixing rather than 2.5-3.5 hours after mixing here in Oregon. A lot has to do with your shop temp also. Higher humidity, lower the temp in the shop to slow the cure. Thanks for watching and great question!
Can this method be used on tile countertops that have grout? If so what would you need to do for the grout lines not to show? Can bondo be used to smooth out the countertop?
I have the same question. I hope they answer!
Level quick in the flooring department at big box store.
Diane Hearl - thank you!
Great question. Grab some level quick and polymer bonding primer for the level quick for the grout lines
Can I do my kitchen sink to match my countertop
Can you do this with a tub? Will it leave runs?
This isn't the right epoxy to coat in a bathtub like that. It can leave runs like you were saying. If you do many thin pours sanding between coats you could.
Can I do this without removing it from the vanity? I assume I should remove the plumbing and sink stopper.
Yes
You sure can, great question. I would remove the tail piece and the p-trap and plastic off the inside of the sink cab, front of cabs, and floor. Tape off above the backsplash to protect the walls. Now you're ready to follow along with the video. On-site prep is pretty easy.
I use:
3 mil plastic roll 3'x25'
Yellow and Blue masking tape
Let me know if you have any other questions -Mitch
@@StoneCoatCountertops thank you, I’ll give this a try after the holidays.
Does this work for fiberglass tubs
We let it drain out of the bottom of the sink hole, I'll remove the tail piece and move the p-trap out of the way and let the epoxy drip into a bucket or plastic off the sink cab. The epoxy is so thin on that section the tail piece fits right back in with no problem
My fiberglass tub turned yellow & I want to revive it & wonder if I can use this method
How does this not sag into the sink hole as it takes 12 to 24 hrs to cure and set
It does self level, we lightly sand between clear coats and apply two. I take out the drain and p-trap and catch the epoxy in a bucket in the sink cab. The tail piece fits rack back in when all done. Lemme know if you have any other questions
I learned something from my father the hard way. NEVER EVER wear slippers in the shop. Doesn't matter if thats the garage turned into a permanent or temp shop or an actual shop.
My father took a 2x4 and dropped it on my feet lightly, just to teach me a lesson. I got 2 stitches, and he said now imagine a heavy tool that wont be so kind.
Ever since, I would never dare wear slippers to a workshop of any kind.
550 for a resin sink?

I Still Have All The Priducts I Ordered From You All Y
1 Year Ago.
The Guy Took My Money And Ran Off!
I Did Not Want To File A Lawsuit On Him.
I Feel Very, Very Sad.
Especially Living Alone.
Sad for those Who feel they have to con someone to make a Lubing❤❤
Thank You
Dillon, Mick & Staff❤
Where do u live? I want to help!
How do I get you guys to answer my emails with my questions?!?! You were so quick to mail me my order but when I have questions you're nowhere to be found. My project was effed because you didn't answer my question and I just winged it... Where's the customer service?!?!
I'm still trying to get input on whether you have any woodgrain designs. Slab look, etc. I've sent emails to the contact us address etc.
First view
Still too much work for us non professionals
No way Susie Q! We've had 10's of thousands of DIY'ers fix up their own worn out countertops and saved tons of cash vs going to the big box store for other countertop options. Let me know how I could help you fix your counters if you need them fixed up!
1st
You’re quick
The process is doable for most anyone BUT the results are so predictable and man made looking. I think these products have greater potential with faux marbling in the undercoat, then stone spray followed by veining. On the flood coat add granite effects with spray paint and alcohol.
Really disappointing that you guys dont answer your customer service emails of Facebook messages… I used your product and wanted to ask about the scratch resistance, which is nowhere near what you advertise.. terrible service and misleading. :(
The problem with the scam-by-proxy countertops as they look wonderful and great and are inspiring and absolutely perfect shortly after you’re done with it but they don’t hold up at all overtime no matter how much of a used car salesman spin you put on the matter.
At 5 sec, it seems that you DO have a respirator. Why don't you wear it when pouring epoxy? And more importantly, why don't you talk about it? The epoxy fumes are TOXIC. You can't work with it without a respirator. You probably know that and that's your responsability to talk about it to your viewers !
Scam scam scam, you will regret buying this garbage
