    Love the table, but not the glaze. IMO with a light pink primary, the glaze looks like it was dragged through dirt. But I love that foil does the design.

    Are light colored foil projects like this one subject to yellowing/ambering?

    • @RK3Designs
      @RK3Designs  5 месяцев назад

      Ambering and yellowing aren’t the same thing. Yellowing is caused by the epoxy reacting with an additive. Ambering is the natural color change that happens to all epoxy over time. I did a clear coat over a white foil over 8 years ago and it looks absolutely amazing still. Very very slight color change. You can barely notice.

    Can I use this foil on top of an old 80s formica bathroom vanity top, and if so what do you recommend I use to prime or undercoat before applying the adhesive, foil, etc?

    • @RK3Designs
      @RK3Designs  4 месяца назад

      You most definitely can. You’ll want to sand and use a bonding primer first then paint with whatever color you want the base under the foil.

  • @suzanne6681
    @suzanne6681 3 месяца назад

    I saw someone ask about using this in a shower on the wall. You had said “yes.” So will this work on a shower surround if you use an a primer? What do you seal it with? I have never used epoxy and I imagine I wouldn’t want to start with a vertical surface like a wall. Any tips?

    • @RK3Designs
      @RK3Designs  3 месяца назад

      Our shower is foil with epoxy over the top. You apply the foil and pour the epoxy on insulation foam board while flat then install once the epoxy is cured. I have several videos showing how to fabricate shower panels. Give us a call if you have any questions. 😊

      Yes I want to go right over the foil with the UTC. my countertop has been resined a while ago and I can’t stand the ambering . It’s been 7 yrs and when I did it SCC didn’t have the art coat so I used the original resin. Sooo I want to foil then use the top coat. No resin.

    • @RK3Designs
      @RK3Designs  5 месяцев назад +1

      Foils must have some sort of topcoat because the foil is incredibly thin. If you plan on using it as a table or high traffic piece, I highly advise to put epoxy.
