Hi there. Feel free to follow our Facebook page and send us a message there. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

It was literally my first floor. Done many since then if you check out our channel.

Thank you for subscribing! What do you have on there now? Is it epoxy? If it is just send it with 220 grit really well. Then I would use Kilz Adhesion Bonding Primer followed by two coats of whatever paint and primer color you want. We use Behr brand in satin. Then scuff it up with 220 after 24 hours, wipe the dust and go for it!

Thank you so much!

Awww 🥰 thank you! I've been doing this for a little over five years now. It definitely takes time to hone your skill and find the techniques that you are drawn to. I found that I had a natural eye for color and flow. Not every design came easy I assure you lol! Definitely just practice a lot!

@ArtisanDesignConcepts Thank you for the advice!! I would LOVE to do this full-time. I just know I need to practice a lot! Also I don't really know where to start to be able to do it full time lol....I do know it's a ways away! Lol

Thank you. We are pouring over MDF.

Thanks for watching

@@missyballard5866 yes I would use it in order to give the panel strength and rigidity.

The new Enhanced version gets the hardest out of all of the versions but anything high gloss without a topcoat will get fine scratches over time. It's recommended to use a topcoat. I think we posted a video on how to apply but it might be a bit old. We have a kitchen curing now and we will video applying the topcoat and post it.

Thank you! They still sell it. Reach out to Trey Hudson at (817) 475-9173 or Trey@WrapResins.com. He can get it ordered for you. Their website isn't updated.

You are so kind 😘

Working time depends on which version. The Original is 45 minutes or so. Pro and Enhanced closer to 35.

They use a weather accelerator to test long-term exposure.

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I would just adjust the ratio a bit. Do you want more brown in there?

@@ArtisanDesignConceptsless brown but want warm grays. I just bought all the supplies for SCC and I couldn’t find the wrap resins nebula or dry ice. I was going to try to call them to see if they still make it since it’s not on their site.

@@Athena_11_they carry it. Reach out to Trey Hudson (817) 475-9173

Glad you like it! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Yes we were thrilled when PolyKote launched! Now we can truly stand behind our work!

Thanks!! Appreciate that!!

Yes I do! It's actually more durable in my opinion! The PolyKote Enhanced which is the newest release is my favorite. It feels like epoxy. No VOCs. Non yellowing. And gets super hard! They now have a small sample kit of it available so you can try it out. Check their website www.savagepatriotpolymers.com

Thanks so much 😊

Thanks for watching. Good thing is each piece is different and can be customized for you or your customer.

Hi! Thanks for following! Yes happy to share. Here's the link to the tutorial with products used. We exclusively use PolyKote now and their new Enhanced version is now my favorite. Resin Countertop Design in under 30 Minutes! th-cam.com/video/XIxJU3L1DeM/w-d-xo.html

Yes absolutely. There's a couple things you need to do differently on top of granite versus new fabrication though. Are you on Facebook? If you are, I recommend joining our group where you can post the same question and I can give a lot more detailed answers than on TH-cam. The group is called Artisan Academy - Epoxy & Coatings. But the short answer is absolutely you can do it over granite. In terms of floors, that's a very different process. We would recommend removing the tile and grinding the concrete, filling all cracks, holes and divots. It requires a moisture vapor barrier, a nice heavy 100% solids epoxy primer, a thicker color coat using a low viscosity epoxy and a urethane topcoat. We can definitely share more in our group.

Ideally yes, best practice is to remove the old countertops, fabricate new, pour and then Install. If that's not an option, you can pour over your existing countertops depending on what they are. Some surfaces need different prep than others. The materials will range based on what you're using and if you are fabricating or not. But to check out the price of the resin we are using please check out www.savagepatriotpolymers.com

Thank you so much!

Awww thank you!! Where do you live?

Thank you so much!

You are correct. Wearing a mask is the safest option.

Possibly but I don't recommend it. That epoxy, and all epoxy, will yellow. Why create a beautiful design that you'll only enjoy a year or so when you can create it with PolyKote and guarantee it won't yellow? Additionally I never got these types of effects so easily when using epoxy. If you want an epoxy feel, use the new PolyKote Enhanced.

@@ArtisanDesignConcepts is that why you use white spray paint for detail work on some of your designs?

@@deborahfischer5708​​⁠I used to use it a lot but now I really don't use white spray paint in my pours as it can change colors as well. Epoxy is the main culprit though. It's just how it's made. That's why we recently switched.

Well there are two options. You can hire someone to fabricate new counters and create the mess offsite like we do or you can do it yourself and with proper prep and set up you can minimize the mess. Resin is sticky and can be messy but if you prep right, it's manageable. Cost will be determine by which option you go for, how much work there is to do, etc... For product cost, visit www.savagepatriotpolymers.com

I used a heat gun.

Unfortunately there's really no such topcoat that has both durability and smooth surface without any texture. The texture is what gives it the scratch resistance. There are other products on the market that promote a glass look with scratch resistance but I've found that though they are great for chemical resistance, not so much for scratches. Anything smooth and shiny will get fine micro scratches over time.

@@ArtisanDesignConcepts exactly im with u... the search continues

Are you asking if you can pour over other epoxy surfaces or over stone countertops?

@@ArtisanDesignConcepts no I was asking would you recommend polykote over regular epoxy or stone coat epoxy for use? I’m trying to do my counters and this will be my first time epoxying so I’m trying to find out the best

@@lovelytbaby5393​​⁠ I would recommend skipping the epoxy altogether and just using PolyKote. Specifically I recommend the new PolyKote Enhanced which looks and feels much like epoxy as it is thicker with no VOCs and very little smell, but it will not yellow like epoxy will.

Thank you! Yes indeed it is! We recommend using the SP Elite Topcoat from Savage Patriot for highest durability. Here's a video showing its durability SP Elite Topcoat Durability Testing th-cam.com/video/q5r2IwMLqXg/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for watching

Keep watching our videos. Classes coming in the future.

Thank you! 😊

The Pro version is dry to the touch in 2-3 hours depending on your temperature and humidity. We still wait for the next coat until the following day but you could technically do a flood coat later the same day. If you use the original it will be more like six or seven hours before it's somewhat touchable but stays softer and you definitely don't want move forward until the next day. They recently launched the Enhanced version which looks and feels more like epoxy but still has the cure time of the pro.

I share the recipe in the beginning of the video

We haven't had a motorhome job since switching to this product but I'm confident it won't yellow. I would just make sure for the longevity of the countertops that you make sure the windows are shaded so it's not getting a lot of direct sun.

The finish is very smooth but we choose to add a urethane topcoat which has a bit of texture to help with durability.

No the carpet was removed and the epoxy pebbles. We can go over tile by doing a concrete overlay but removing any tile is best practice.

@@ArtisanDesignConcepts even with wood underneath ?

Absolutely! Order the Savage Patriot Promoter that will help bond the PolyKote to it really well. Be sure to prep the surface and edges properly. If you want more guidance join our group on Facebook called Artisan Academy - Epoxy & Coatings
