#StoneCoatCountertops #epoxy #YouGotThis - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I liked it a lot before the fractures/veins were added. I like fractures/veins, as they make it look more authentic, but to me, there were too many added. But I'm new to this process, so I could be off base. I think you guys do beautiful work, and would LOVE to have your countertops in my new kitchen! That's a whole big story there. Anywho, keep up the awesomeness!
Great feedback
Too many fractures! Love the rest a few fractures would have made everything pop.
I agree 100% with you!
Agree, to many veins. I own my own countertop and tub refinishing business. Over 17 years of experience, to me it just looks over done. Love your videos you guys are awesome. I will be adding this to my business soon.
I totally agree, too many, too wide, and too straight/geometric. It really doesn't look good.
Looks BEAUTIFUL! My opinion: I would have not added the cracks. They take away from the overall kick-ass-ness. Too straight, too wide, too many.
Beautiful. I like the thin painted veins. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
I'm glad everybody had funn but I liked it better before the fracturing. Love the colors and the shine.
We ❤ it, without the fractures. It was just beautiful work.
I wasn't a big fan of the fractures. But that's what makes epoxy so versatile. You can do what YOU want to do! I can't wait to do my own in the near future. Absolutely stunning job in a beautiful hut in a badass jungle!!!
Endless possibilities! Thank you kindly my friend, we can not wait to see what you create🙌
That was so much fun. Thank you for letting us be a part of this project. You rock Mike!!!
You did amazing!
The tops look so nice! Great work ATD!!!!!!!!!
You and Katherine are living the dream…!!!!
Colors are stunning, it would be nice to have a kit for this same recipe!
Great suggestion
After watching this video, I’ve learned that a palette of a billion shades of the same color family plus a few contrasting colors makes an extremely authentic stone look. The mass produced countertop kits at the big box store have maybe 3 colors in one kit. I’ve seen the results at two friends’ houses. It does NOT look like stone or marble. It looks like paint.
The countertop y’all created in this video looks so vivid, so authentic, and so natural. Adding so many colors to the pour gives so many layers. This is what separates a custom product from a mass produced kit.
I hope to recreate this effect in white, copper, beige, tan, and cream with hints of pink, yellow, and terra-cotta. I’ve known I wanted stone coat brand for a while, but I could not decide on a color.
At first I thought the veins were way too thick and shouldn't have been added until I looked up rainforest granite and saw that what you did was spot on. You're opening up my creative eye to the possibilities of what's possible should I ever begin working with epoxy. I really enjoy your videos.
I'm doing this. Just got our cabin in Alaska dried in - this is going to be awesome!!!
That came out, bad ass!
With all those groceries on the vines you never have to leave home, YUM!
you are right on!
I loved the wild colors on this one, it looks so pretty and matches the tree house theme, thanks for the great comment!
This was absolutely gorgeous and the island grounds are amazing with all the beautiful fruit trees. At first I thought it was too much with the fractures/veins, however I googled Rainforest Granite and OMG there are a lot of fractures/veins so it looks like to me you guys nailed this one.
Like it better without the fractures. Hoping to do something very similar to a monster desk I got from a bank that is remodeling.
Sounds like a cool project 😎
I agree with Mike, sounds like an epic project! Let me know if you have any questions
@@mitchquist you want to come to Texas to help? This is a first for me....so either it comes out great, or the wife throws me out for making an epoxy mess.
I just absolutely LOVE this company! You guys really make me feel like pursuing my dreams is possible. Thank you for being so awesome!!
I’m afraid this gorgeous location over shadowed these beautiful countertops!! What paradise is this amazing cabin in?
Looks like Hawaii
That's gorgeous. I love the colors, like bringing the outdoors inside.
So glad you all got to get together over there! Bet it was fun for everyone. 👍😉
I love Puerto Rico Rain Forest Colors amazing work
I'm watching this in Aug 2023, and the most amazing thing I picked up was adding thin veins with a brush after the epoxy is set. I'm seeing that as a great fine tuning step!
I'm a good follwer
But the frog usher stunt was dope 😂😂
I liked it so much with the few initial veins, looked a lot like labradorite!!
That being said, "the birds are singing Usher" must be my favourite part of the video lmaoo
I really like the pour, how amazing it turned out. If I were to do it for my own, I would probably add a few thin fracture lines, but far less than you have here.
I think he did it for demonstration purposes.
You guys are awesome, my wife and I were going to replace our Corian countertops with quartz and tile our shower. Now that we have found stone coat we are going to save thousands and have more fun.
Awesome! please send pictures. What colors are you using?
You will save thousands!!!! Stone Coat Epoxy goes right over Corian with a tenacious bond, let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to help you get your project started 👍
I hope this countertop got signed by all of you because it is a true work of art and heart!! 💚💙 I loved Thornton's squiggle veins and Rhonda's colorful fracture lines! 😍 The colors are perfect for the location! 👍 What better way to hang out during blizzard and crazy weather situations- art with friends!! 😮🥰 Congratulations on the 1M!! 👏👏
Thanks for the very kind comment!
@@StoneCoatCountertopsYou are quite welcome!! 🤗
I remember watching this live & was so excited to have so many creative people adding to it, the teamwork & support is so cool to see & the end result is AMAZING ❤❤❤ YOU ARE ALL AN INSPIRATION 😊
Absolutely gorgeous. What a team. All of y'all are my favorites. ATD was my first channel I ever watched. Taught me much. The they showed me you and RK3. Now I do lots of work custom for counter tops furniture etc. For my customers. Love playing and learning from you all. What a rocking group of people. Thank you for beautiful products and great resin 💓
Thanks so very much!
What a great comment!!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment!
Thank you for saying this.we wouldn’t be what we are without y’all and the SCC fam.
Thanks for the hospitality showing us your home. Fantastic!
Screw the tutorial, this dude lives in paradise!
I love doing this. I had my family wanting me to do their showers, baths and got them involved. Grown up coloring fun!
I love that it never ends up in any way that you would expect. It is always beautiful.
Thanks!
I love all the colors! And I love all the fractures! Beautiful! Beautiful! 🥰 I love, love avocados 🥑, coconuts 🥥 and mangoes 🥭 but no papayas thank you! Your home is beautiful! What a paradise! So blessed! 😊
I absolutely love this countertop!!!! Beyond words!!!
Too many fractures for me.
Also, an idea for fracturing would be to overlap your fracture papers and cut a swiggly line and then when you spray paint lines they wouldn't just be straight lines.
Great Job guys!
StoneCoat 4/ever
You guys are absolutely artists! Such beautiful work!
Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I loved it right up to when the fractures where put in. But that’s my personal taste ... great job boys and girls 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for your feedback! Have you had a chance to use Stone Coat for a project? You Got This💪
I love the veining Artist till death put on it, so natural! ,. Sick awesome colors for the epoxy.
I agree
Same here! Jeff has amazing skills, I don't know if my painted veines would have turned out as pretty!
I've been obsessing about doing this to my laminate countertops for years. Originally, there wasn't a good way to do the front edges. I'm so excited that you've nailed the process. I want to finish the raw edges for the sink to make it an undermount. Have you demonstrated this application in a how-to vid? I love your product and gorgeous applications. Thank you 💗 p.s. Where is your fabulous home?
Your skills and team are phenomenal. I’m curious to see how you remove the tape and paper from back wall of countertop. Do you wait until it’s almost dry or still wet? Thanks for the awesome channel!
Just wait until dry
That first layer was beautiful!!
Thank-you. Very impressive.
1. In low humidity environments, consider adding more drop-sheet and taping. Ie. Lay/hang plastic drop shert over TV screen, and more of the windows. Reason is: very small specks of airborne spraypaint can adhere to unintended surfaces.
2. What your thoughts on using the pistol-grip triggers on your spraypaints? Is there enough precision, or is the index finger better? One other option is using your thumb, as it is less fatigued than index finger. With Nitrile or Latex glove, and thumb on top of the nosel, wrap a few rounds of masking tape around your hand to assist in a un-fatigued and more relaxed-hand hold. The disadvantage is that until you find the best position for your wrist/arm, it will feel a bit awkward.
3. This is purely a subjective comment (and I understand that there were several people involved): I merely see a bit of over-processing in quantity of cracks/cuts/fissures/imperfections. I do understand this was a tutorial, yet may I respectfully mention that “more is not always better”.
Thank-you again, and impressive collaboration.
Great tips, I've tried the pistol grips but found they are slower for me.
I keep watching!!!! I love this so much! It’s just as magical in person!
Did you see the Manta Rays while you were out there?
I was just zoned in listening to the coquis and watching the pour ❤
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
I just received my second Stone Coat order today and am about to start my countertops!
Omg what a beautiful home. I can only imagine the rest and zen your family must get when you go there. I live in New Mexico now but grew up in Humboldt county right in the redwood forest and I miss the green. Thank you god sharing. I’m a huge stone coat fan
LOVE THE COLORS-and those veins and fracture lines are beautiful!
No vote on the fractures. They are too straight.
Excellent prep job
Love the drip gutters, big improvement and it allows the applicator to portray as a polished professional
This is an incredible video! I enjoyed every second!! So fun to see you all create together out in the jungle. Love the results too!! 😍❤️🌴
Thanks good friend! Love your channel on TH-cam!
Thanks so much for your support along the way Christina! We love watching your beautiful art projects
The difference between a good job and a great job is the attention to details.
Cool thing about granite is that no two pieces are alike. Similar, but not exactly alike. This is great. Nice job folks
I looked up the rainforest granite and you guys nailed it great work.
Thank you!
That is stunning. I like the way it turned out. At first I thought the veins were going to be too much, but they turned out amazing.
Thanks so much 😊 Lets know what you would like to see next. You Got This!
Love you Mike 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I might have missed it, but if the colored epoxy is poured over it, what is the purpose of spray painting the plywood beforehand w the various colors?
I love this soooo much. I have an old store building I am rehabbing myself. Im going to do this for the counter I am going to build. I sooo thank you all so much. Love it and its beautiful.
I watched the video of epoxy on concrete floor first, and it discussed how using the torch and/or alcohol helps remove air bubbles. As I'm watching this video, if I hadn't seen the other one first I would have thought the torch was to help the curing process. This seems like an extremely important and helpful tip. So as someone new to your videos, this tip/explanation would be helpful to verbalize in more videos in case a person didn't see the other ones. Just a thought :) I'm loving these projects so far!
My boyfriend and I are finally starting to play with your epoxy products, thanks to your videos! I was wondering … how do you clean the “chop” brushes after using them?
Love it!!! Your creativity is 2nd to none, large color selection hit the spot I always say the more the better 2 thumbs up!
This is awesome. How stone coat transforms is amazing 🤩
Appreciate the kind words 🙏
I always enjoy the new techniques you come up with. Just when i think i’ve seen them all you pull another rabbit outta your hat and surprise me again. Keep up the good work.
Lol, thank you
Great video, thanks. At just under 13 minutes in, you remove the tape and smooth the edges. Is there a trick to smoothing the edge without pulling the epoxy? I've done that before on a table and it left all kinds of uneven surfaces. Thanks
The nice thing about this countertop is in a while if your vision changes you can tape sand and make it new again. Muttering is a real thing right? That counter track .. Love the mineral spirits tip too. Getting to be with some of your best buds. Priceless.
Amazing! Beautiful colors and very interesting techniques. Thank you for sharing!
You guys did some amazing work! I liked it before the fractures. For me there are to many and to think. Just my two cents! I want to use Stone Coat for my counter tops when I renovate.
LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. DEFINITELY SHOWING THIS TO THE HUBBY
Gorgeous as always!
Absolutely beautiful!
I love it too
One thing I might want to add when doing the prep is that the Bondo dries really fast 5-6 minutes and unless you're familiar with using it, it would probably be best to mix it up on something else besides the counter top, I like using a paper plate. Then sand it before it completely hardens otherwise you'll be spending a lot of time sanding it smooth.
Great pro tip, Thanks!
That is a very good tip! I forgot to remove the excess before and you are right, I was sanding for DAYS! Thanks for the great comment David, how long have you been watching us on TH-cam?
Dry time also depends on how much hardner you add too lol bondo is a big juggling act in my eyes lmao
I used a grinder then sanded
@@StoneCoatCountertops I have been watching for about 6 months, since I bought a house and decided I wanted to epoxy the counter tops. I know about Bondo from being a automotive body/painter
This is my second favorite counter top look that you have done.
The epoxy looked amazing , happy it turned out the way you wanted, congrats!
Appreciate you!
Thanks for watching! How long have you been watching Stone Coat on TH-cam
Love it! Would love to see something like these highlights Purple-ish colors (like amethyst). Thanks!!!
Would this product work on OSB plywood? I have a couple pieces leftover from a job and would like to order a smaller batch to practice with before trying an actual countertop
You killed it !
I really like the colors in this project. I’m curious though, as to possibly making a waterfall effect with the step down countertop, coming from the top counter and going down to the step down counter.
Cool idea!!!! We are planning a full tutorial on how-to waterfall your epoxy island! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss that one!
@@mitchquist definitely interested in this as well. My kitchen island looks fantastic with my SCC countertop, but I would have loved a waterfall top and I'm up to do it again.
So amazingly gorgeous colors💚💚💚💚💛💚💚💚💛💚💚💚💛
Stunning result!!
This is freaking amazing!!!!!
So curious you applied ultimate topcoat as apposed to a flood coat 1st over you fractures? In my mind I would think a flood coat over the fracture veins you all did then a top coat?
So cool to see you guys are a real community of artist off of YT because of you tube , that's great!
TH-cam has a funny way of bringing people together!
The colors are amazing together. You guys rock
I feel the same way! Thanks for watching Doris, we appreciate you!
You are all crazy.....amazing result !!!!Thanks from Greece...
Well Mike, just finished a desk for my daughter xmas gift, first time epoxy, could be better. Although most messups will be fixed with top coat maybe, seems i should of used more then 3oz per sq ft for my dirty pour. Many lessons learned tho!
Ok haven't even watched this yet and by the colors I see, you, a live person actually reads text I sent...I love you guys, sincerely. Now, I am going to watch video. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Let us know how you like it once you've watched!
Let me know if you have any questions after watching! Thanks for the great comment, we appreciate you!
It's beautiful!! Perfect!
Can you epoxy the exterior of a home? Will it withstand sand, wind and snow (freezing temps) Pvc bamboo...wha?? I still love the wood/tree look!! Thanks for the video!!
I love the colors but I didn’t like the fracture lines. Some of the interlinked lines don’t look natural.
Thanks again!
thanks for taking the time to drop a comment, this really helps the video grow! We appreciate you🔥👍
it's a rain forest with vines hanging down and things like that. It takes us away deep into a rain forest like in Brazil. It's really amazing if you allow yourself to imagine something like Avatar's deep jungle scenes.
Beautiful good job and God bless yall
Thank you!
Love it 😀! If it was meant to look like stones, some of the lines probably should stop where the main lines crossed.
Wow at the end it’s so amazing
This is beautiful ! I have never seen actual rainforest granite but I think I would like it more without such heavy fractures. Your location looks like where I live in Florida in the woods.
Thanks Brenda! Would you change any of these colors?
So beautiful 😍 Great job as always my friends!
Thank you so much Cody! We would love to see some of your work.
Beautiful work!!! Just a quick question. Did you just do a color coat then UTC?? or was a clear coat added after putting in the veins, off camera.
Yeah I forgot to hit record
I’m drooling. So cool.
Awesome!
No words to said just AMAZING and your house in the jungle perfect for imagination. Thank you
رائع رائع رائع جدا 💝💪
Thank you
The best job!!!
Oooo you could put another layer on it and build up the layers and shades.. Softening up the lines and add more . 👍 Such gorgeous colors.
I might do that
Y’all three pouring in different ways kool
Looks great. What thickness is the ply. Does it have to be marine ply? Can you use any seal paint/primer?
At first I was going to say that I didn't like the fatter veins and there were way too many, but then I looked up rainforest granite...and you all NAILED IT!! Beautifully done!
I really like how you hand painted some of the lines. I'm going to incorporate this into my art pieces. Thank you
Same! I had actually never heard of rainforest granite. Looking it up, I see that you guys have done a spectacular job. And the colors are so great!
Just when I thought I knew what I was doing then you guys pull this on me awesome countertop.
Lol
🇵🇷 Love that night background sound…❤️
