A feather works great to do the veins. Glazes with natural sponges work great too .I work from the top right corner in a diagonal brick pattern and break it up with a sponge. Then with the feather I bump my elbow while I pull lines.
You should really really be wearing a good filtration mask and be in a ventilated area if you’re working with resin. Especially if it’s in a larger quantity.
@@lauriecollins7312 that doesn't matter. She should still be wearing one EVERY time she uses epoxy. The fumes can cause cancers. I've been using epoxy resin for over seven years. The health concerns are no joke.
Haha picking the dust out of the resin really hit me!! We have 4 cats & a raccoon & animal hair is just part of our ecosystem!! I have found that adding glitter/shimmer to anything I do that requires drying time helps to hide the dust imperfections. Also, adding extremely fine shimmer to the veining step of the countertops also looks beautiful. Go girl you did a fantastic job!
My mom did one of these kits to make me a microwave cart that matched my counters in my old apartment and she absolutely killed it! You could hardly tell that they weren't the same counter top and it has held up beautifully.
Yes as a perfectionist I can't stop staring at the imperfection in this I absolutely love it but it's driving me nuts lol I don't think I'd be able to do this because I keep staring at how the lines look unnatural.

My 65-year-old neighbor successfully rewired her entire electrical on her trailer by watching TH-cam videos. Her brother is a contractor, inspected her work and said she did a fabulous job!! So no you're not an idiot. Depending on how naturally intelligent the person is or how much common sense they have, they will succeed at whatever they do!!
I learned almost everything I know about working on cars from TH-cam. I've learned soo much on this platform. People always compliment me on always being great at things or knowing so much about certain things etc.. And it literally all just came from watching TH-cam videos! Tons of great content on here and you can learn just about anything
I had a neighbor who tried to do the same thing - he shocked himself twice and now his trailer can only handle two things being plugged in at once. They must have watched different videos 😂
Omg! Me and my mom ended up doing this at her rent condo and we were so worried it was gonna look bad or not hold up as a heavily-used countertop but it's been a few years now and they still look good :)
I love that you think the way you do. I took that thought process when drawing my eyebrows, they always come out pretty now because I see them before I do them. I need to expand my mind to do that with life like you. Good job mamas!
You did an awesome job on your counters, and let the haters hate, they will never be positive!! Just keep on living your best life, your a great DIYer thx for sharing ❤
I feel like sometimes patterns look better on camera. I have a feeling up close it wouldn't seem like stone at all. But it does brighten up the space in any case.
It looks awesome!! If you have problems with specks of dust thats stuck then you can sand it with sand paper to the highest grit then use a wet and dry sand paper to do a light polish, then finish it off with a glossy top coat then you dont have to be so worried over it feeling gritty or orange peel textured.
It’s all right. It starts there. I watch them videos then get brave and jump to projects. Some are nice and some are still undone and some are not so nice. Oh well, whatever. I’ll get to those one day lol
@@dana102083I definitely agree, not to shit on the OP - if she likes it that’s great - but my god, it looks really really bad. Nothing like marble and it looks like a kids painted it (making marble look like marble is very very difficult)

Please please PLEASE WEAR A RESPIRATOR WHEN WORKING WITH RESIN and keep the kitchen well ventilated and keep kids and animals out of the kitchen. It can be really toxic. Please stay healthy. ❤
It's according to what kind of resin. Some are more toxic and you should wear a respirator but most you just need air cross flow with fresh air coming from the windows.
The concept is interesting. I don't like the thick veining. It doesn't look natural. Looks like someone did too thick eyebrows. I imagine spent a lot of time reviewing marble pics, but the biggest problem is used same brush & not mixed it up with thinner ones.
@@KileeRainbow You're very right. Reason stated me not everyone. The effort is 100% A. I might not like a color or style, I'm never knocking the effort.
@@hallieshouse13 what is the point of making a comment like that? It's not constructive or helpful, the only purpose I can see is to try and make someone feel bad which is pretty sad to me. Some thoughts should be kept inside our heads.
Looks great and dont worry about what anyone else says as long as you love it that's all that matters it's in your home it looks beautiful cant wait to see the next one
Resin is "safe" to use as long as you don't cut into it or damage it. Resin is toxic when it is mixed together and pored. The fumes it gives off can damage your lungs. The clear coat she put on helped protect the resin.
OMG they look phenomenal! For real girl, they look amazing! Anyone that says different are either just jealous or ashamed that they don't have enough confidence to do it themselves.
I would be livid to buy a house that had counter tops painted…great with the seal…:but I still would be livid And epoxy…wait for it chip…and the smell of it lingers even after fully cured…I work with epoxy and I got pieces years old that still have whiff of it.. Just….please…be careful….it’s so easy for something like that to chip, and before it’s seen or noticed, it’s already caused damage (potentially internally to someone from getting in food.) It really looks great, unfortunately looking great doesn’t mean it is great. Please careful and safe….don’t want this to twist into something bad down the road for ya or family. You’d never forgive yourself
This will yellow and stain over time, is not food safe or sturdy, and let’s be real- looks a mess. I wasn’t going to say anything but your nasty tone in the comments changed my mind.
