This is why I'm terrified of trying projects like this. It's always a good idea to practice on a faux surface before attempting any big or expensive project. You can use foam board or even heavy cardboard until you feel confident with your technique. Practice makes perfect. Your countertops look great 👍
Looks fantastic! Great job guys!
Thanks you 😁
Ryan save the day🙆🏽 not all hero's wear a cape🤣💪🏽 great job
Ryan always saving me from myself 😂
I’ve done several stone coat counter tops and they are amazing ! Very easy process and easy to learn
Yes they are! We've done a few more since this and it definitely gets easier
@@simplysophi yes it does. A lot to learn but a lot fun !
Thank Heaven’s for hubby’s who keep us grounded!!! In the end, you guys did a great job. Sorry it wasn’t exactly what you wanted.
Seriously! I'd still be in a closet crying if it wasn't for him lol.
If you don’t like the end result you can just try again. I always use a hairdryer to disperse the colors if they are too saturated. It’s my fear to do my nice dining table that needs it so badly but I’ve just got to go for it. No one in the West Los Angeles area does this yet. I’d like to really get to a good consistent result and then offer it as a service.
That’s really one of the best benefits about this is that you can do it over, right on top. The look has grown on me but we plan on changing it up when we redo our kitchen. And I think that’s great idea. You can practice with scrap wood. My husband and I have been and made some really cool items.
@@simplysophi I’m ok with your results, btw. I’d love to see your end result. I’m gonna give the “dirty pour” a try. It’s more resin to be sure but I’d rather get the right effect using extra product than a sub par result with too sparse trying to save a few dollars.
Look like you all did a great job!👍🏽👏🏾
Thanks! 😊
hey, team work, that's what matter. I wanted to ask you if the white or transparent coat has yellow at all? I am about to build a house and I am still debating if going with real stone top counters, or if it's worth it to do it with epoxy, and my biggest concern is the stain and the yellow mainly, so a video of after a year review would be awesome, thanks.
Yes it has yellowed. More so on the counters next to the stove not as much on the island.
It looks very nice. Was this from Stonecoat countertops or somewhere else? Recently I have been watching RK3 designs they do epoxy and it is really cool. Maybe you have seen theirs? Yours are beautiful.
We use Stonecoat. I haven’t seen theirs but I’ll definitely look it up, we have so many projects on the board. I want to make an epoxy a desk.
Does epoxy resist heat ?
If these are laminate counter tops it’s easier & cheaper to just replace them what what ever color pattern they want ?
I made an update video with the pros and the cons. I would say it is heat resistance. Whether it’s cheaper to just replace the laminate that idk.

That was GREAT! Thanks for the honesty - and humor. I learned a lot as well. Appreciate you sharing. I'll be starting on my kitchen soon. Probably will need your husband's telephone number :-)
I’ll let him know. Moral support is so underrated when starting a home improvement project lol
I have painted and marbled bathroom counter. Need to epoxy resin next. I painted kitchen counter but didn't marble them ..just want clean white countertops. Did epoxy but not perfect. Will sand down and epoxy again. The good parts were excellent. Shiny like glass. Had ugly laminate. Please always read and follow instructions. Fortunately I'm not a perfectionist. Im willing to try and learn as i go along. Mistakes give me the opportunity to do better next time.
How ha e your counters held up since you redid them?
very well actually. The only thing is they stain easily. I bake and cook a lot, food dye and things like curry stain and it's hard to get it out. There's no way I can really explain it but after a while the stains disappear, but it takes a while.
@simplysophi thank you for the response. That happened to me in the past so this time I went with the black marble to help prevent the staining with the black base. It's always a learning process. Yours look great though
Doesnt look so bad, i think you needed more veins for a marble look.

I don't understand why would you be so negative at the end of your project knowing that this is what you going to stay with for a long time. If you don't like it redone it again😊
I didn't think I was being negative, just honest. It wasn't the vision I was going for. It's grown on me but definitely will redo it in the future
I don't like it its a shame so much work i liked them before jmo
Looks horrible
