Is This The BEST Countertop Finish?! | Custom Countertop Build
Hi All!
Here's a quick video on how i apply Rubio Monocoat "Pure" to a custom countertop I'm building. If you have not used this finishing product before, I highly recommend it! (and no, I am not sponsored!)
I've used Rubio Monocoat for multiple builds to include my own countertops and a custom desk with a walnut finish. It holds up well and the reapplication is super easy. Check out my countertop build video to see it in action!: th-cam.com/video/3qnxv42oCY0/w-d-xo.html
The price varies but I usually get it on Amazon for around $60.00 for both the monocoat and the accelerator. Even though it's expensive, it's worth it! and a little bit goes a long way!

How To Make YOUR Pup Their Own Custom Raised Dog Bowl Stand! Simple DIY
Do you use magnets on your openers? They look very nice btw
Do you put wood braces on the back later on ? Or is the glue up enough ?
Great! Very thorough and helpful suggestions. thank you.
Wow! Great job I really like all the jigs you use definitely makes the job much easier and faster. I really dig that stamp with you logo, where did you get that one made at?
Love the extra tape idea to avoid glue squeezing out! I plan to use this on my projects.
Beautiful craftsmanship !
Good 👍 job How much do you sell yours for?
mike was your union 11/16 or was 3/4
Thanks for sharing this information with us, can’t wait to do this flag jig.😊❤
I do my framing with 45 degrees looks great
amazing job.... ive made many and tried spray painting stars... no matter what ive done i always get blurry smeared stars.. so i just stopped and use stars i bought ..lol
What did you charge the customer for that flag?
I like what you're doing man. But for goodness sake I've seen too many eye injuries in my time as a sawyer not to say wear some glasses, please.
I use acrylic paint because it’s easy to find anywhere and dirt cheap. I wipe it on with a rag and it looks amazing.
Great video, I have made some flags in the past, but this jig should make it easier to put together! Thanks for sharing!
Very sharp flag! Can I ask how you get the lines on your stars so crisp with the stencil? I didn’t see any fuzzy lines.
Very nice! What model or size Shapeoko do you have?
I do my union start to finish on its own. Stain and paint the stars before putting it Into the flag.
I recently started switching to this method. Much More Efficient !
Nice project.
Very nicely done. I was asked to make wine holder but I have no idea how to do it. Where do I measure to get the final dimensions that will hold wine bottles
SketchUp! 😊
Thanks for sharing, Happy Veterans Day
How much do you sell the small wooden flags?
Thank you for the tutorial! Made my first one today, turned out fantastic. Gonna make a bunch more for Christmas gifts.
Really nice build thank you for posting, thank you for the pricing, thank you for sharing what sells. I like the frame idea
What size magnet are you using. The link doesn't work. Thanks,
What is the size of the stars that you carved
The walnut countertops are gorgeous. The tile backsplash makes the whole project look very eye appealing.
Beautiful project. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful project, thanks for the video
The tape idea is a fabulous idea.
I agree. You can also use a straight edge to align them perfectly.
Thank you for the video. Loved it.
Nice. But, easier to place two long srips of tape along the bottom/outside inside of short pieces.
It’s a awesome flag what do go for would appreciate the info thanks
Wish you'd say what your boarder size is
Now I know what I'm going to do with all those 1 1/4" x 8' x 10ft. recycled boards I have rescued from the junk pile I found. I believe I have enough from this find for at the least 100 of them to design with. good job sir !!
What clear coat you use
What happened with your sites dude? No www and no etsy?
I see a bunch of people asked you how much you sell these small flags for but see no answer. Curious as to how much you charge for one?
Did you use flag calculator? If not, is it important or not ? Please and thank you for any answer that you can give me . I’m not sure if it’s a must or not to use a flag calculator. I do t want to disrespect anyone or our flag if it’s a must. Btw great job !!!!😊
How did you make the flag jig?
Great job, looks great
nice
I just re-watched your video. After you cut the union out, how did you get the ends of the red to be stained?
How much for one of these small flags?
I've made a bunch. I buy stars from Amazon now and glue them on with clear gorilla glue. Much faster than dremel
It def is faster! Haha i have a CNC now and use that for most of the stars
Awesome. Who made your logo ??
My wife did!
nice work and u kept it simple
Exelent work, how much?
