Hi Debbie, you're welcome and thank you, as I appreciate the kind words! I'm so excited for you and I know you'll do great! If you have any questions, or if I can help in any way, please feel free to email me, and we can chat from there. My email is: Keith@kcdcdesigns.com
Hey, good for you!! How many square feet is your project? I'd love to see a pic, and if you have any questions on the UTC, email me at Keith@kcdcdesigns.com
Hey there, and thanks. The orange peel in the Ultimate Top Coat Gloss is normal and unavoidable. We've not found rolled-on gloss top-coat on the market that does not leave an orange peel appearance. It's also important to know that UTC is not required nor mandatory to be used over the clear/flood coat. Prior to the release of UTC all of my customer countertops were installed without it and are holding up extremely well (including my parents' countertops which were installed 5 years ago). The reason I only offer UTC Natural or Gloss to my customers is that they can be installed after 48 hours (when UTC is fully cured), opposed to having to store them for 30 days until the epoxy fully cured. Great question and thanks for watching and supporting my channel! Keith
Hey Dave! Thanks for watching and of course I wish you the best, and please let me know how it goes! If I can help in any way, please feel free to reach out! You can email me at Keith@KCDCDesigns.com You Got This! :)
Although Keith in a few weeks I seriously would love to start preparing to work on my kitchen Counter if you wouldn’t mind coming up with a few colors. I’m thinking in creams, grays and a splash of the brown. I have a lot of Prep to do so no need to hurry. I’ll Send a pix of it. Thanks Lynn
I got a tiny hair in my test board utc. Everything else is perfect. We cannot get a perfect environment. Thats impossible. Now I am scared to try it on the installed countertops. Is a bit of lint gets in the UTC, what can I do?
All you can really do is take all preventative measures to ensure a dust & lint free environment. If a hair or lint lands in the UTC, I would try very carefully to remove it with fine tweezers as to not touch the UTC, if possible. Many are in the same situation and my best recommendation is to be sure there's no air moving in the area, 1-2 hours before and 1-2 hours after applying UTC. It's also very likely that a hair or lint may not be noticeable on the overall surface, except to you (if it's completely unavoidable). I wished I had better advice, but at least with UTC it doesn't stay "wet" for several hours like epoxy does (I know that doesn't help much either).
@@kcdcdesigns absolutely! Saturation of the roller to start with, getting the heavy lap lines off with the wet roller and just a basic light rolling with the dry… KISS and simply basic steps really helps
Thank you for being so thorough. I am doing my first one this week and between you and Rhonda. I finally feel confident.

Where did you get the sanding disk eraser! I love that! I usually have to scrape it off with a putty knife 🥴
From Amazon, I'll see if I can find the link

Hello, great video. I went with the gloss look and after I applied the ultimate top coat I got an orange peel look? Do u know what could've caused it?
