Counter top installer here, when using silicone if you spray the surface with a Windex or soapy water, it prevents the silicone from sticking to places you don't want.
I would probably use epoxy with gold pigment. Let it sink right in and essentially glue the floor back together. Much like the actual purpose of Kintsugi, but without actual gold. Avoiding getting it on the surface would be the hard part. I'm thinking custom 3D-printed funnels stuck down with poster putty or similar. Just a thought. Wait for the epoxy to stiffen (not cured, just no longer fluid), and shave off any excess with a razor blade.
I’m inspired! Great job on the bedroom! Looks awesome! Thinking I might try this in my house. I want to take out all the carpet in the bedrooms and the tile in the living room in my 1960s house and do painted concrete throughout
I saw you do this on the table & loved it. I then researched all about Kintsugi. When I eventually have cracks in my concrete I'm going to do this for sure. Looks great here as well!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Amazing job. I saw the cracks in the previous video and wondered what would be the best way to fix/cover them but this surpassed what I expected. Incredible job.
Would you be able to use a big orbital floor buffer to go over the surface to correct some of the haze? I don’t know anything about that type of stuff just spitballing a idea as I have a large garage that I’m wanting to paint/seal
I did this with gold foil flakes through out the room... love it! Any idea how to take it off the concrete? Probably shouldn't have done it in a rental apartment
@@Catch333FL Bro, atleast milesh's comment contained useful information. Yours does not benefit anyone here at all. There is a difference between caulk and grout, you don't use grout to finish off tile edges in a shower no?
The floor turned out amazing! I really appreciate you trying to honour the spirit of kintsugi by acknowledging and recognizing the imperfections. Yet another fantastic video, Mike!
It's a super cool idea! But do you know if that gold leaf can chip away over time? How did you make sure that the leaf doesn't come out over time, for example when you mop or broom the floors?
Clearly adding the tape was not necessary. Thanks Scotch for sponsoring this video.
Exactly
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how you highlight and leave your mistakes as it is for us to take note and not repeat it. Thank you!
DUDE! THOSE FLOORS LOOK SO SICK!

countertop installers unite!
Genius!! Thanks a ton
Wait, on any surface? Even if i use silicone onto a wall, to close tge gap with the box of the ac?
@@beatricemariacappello5768 It would work but you would use paintable caulk if you want it to match the color of your wall
Also vinegar can clean up extra silicone that’s on surfaces you don’t want it on
that's a genious idea! very sophisticated way of renovating dirty old rock floors.

I think this would be really cool to try with glow in the dark resin!
8:20 When I think about it Kintsugi is kind of a perfect match for Mike's positivity.
Wow that gold leaf looks like lightning bolts! 💫💥👍 And really accent the golden yellow accents on the walls.
This turned out so sick man! Very creative way to address a defect.
Really liked the final result but especially loved your attitude! I'm gonna try to embrace that in my own DIYs even tho it's easier said than done 😬
😁😁😁 thanks a ton!!

The roller imperfections make it look marble like
This room is really growing on me. Very unique and it really is a statement. I am looking forward to seeing what else you do to your workshop.
So killer to hear!

You are the most patient man I know😉
yo this is electrifying
Bro that looks like fire! 🔥love it!!
That actually looks really nice! Would love to know your setup for getting those overhead shots
He shared on an Instagram story that he attached a piece of wood to the ceiling and then attached his camera mount to it.
@@TheEickert thanks 😁
Great attitude to have. I'm still working on mine lol
I was looking forward to this! Looks great man! Now to kintsugi the crack in my phone screen
Very unique idea!
Great job...super pro!
That's mostly definitely unique. Looks very well. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work Mike. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks Jared!
This looked super cool! I might consider trying it out on a project myself!!!
Yes!!!!
Love. Love. Love!!!
Such a great idea!
Great idea! Well done man. Looks so good!
This looks SO GOOD!!! You're giving some ideas for future projects
Turned out really good 👍
So cool!! Thanks for sharing!!
Ok this is dope! Do they make Silver leafing?? I bet that would look cool!
I did this with gold foil flakes through out the room... love it! Any idea how to take it off the concrete? Probably shouldn't have done it in a rental apartment
Looks beautiful!! Love the gold leaf. Glad you sealed it.
Nice work
That's freaking cool
Fancy!!
Well done
LOVE AND SUPPORT ALL THE WAY FROM SINGAPORE!👍🏻🙌🏻
Awesome!! Thanks 😁

I love it!!!
Looks so cool and fresh!
The hard work definitely paid of!
✨
fire! way to go...so cool!
Modern BUIIIIIiiiiiiiiiilllds
Wow, what a cool idea,
Bro that wasn't silicone grout, that was silicone caulk that is color matched to a grout color for the edge of a tile job. Great work though!
BRO Stfu, pretty sure he asked for ur input.

This looks awesome makes me kinda sad I dont have cracks in my concrete floors 😂
That’s so awesome! By the way, I appreciate your sponsorship being relative to the project at hand.
Love it!!!
This is amazing!!!
Amazing 👌🏻👌🏻
What a great idea, and it turned out gorgeous!!!
I love this!😍
very cool!
This is why I subbed!
Also... "Wow. How did he get that awesome overhead shot?"
"Today's sponsor is Scotch tape!"
Probably taped the camera to the ceiling 😭
Super dope
YAWN. You should be on Etsy!
Awesome video!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
thanks or watching!!
You’re the best, going to do something like that at my place. Also, Knee pads.
Denatured alcohol works great for getting any silicone off.
