what a bunch of haters why would you spend four hundred buck rather 8 bucks in change ,I think she did a fine job on this and is nice to take the time to show you guys
David Marler yeah this is great, and you don't have to use pennies, you can put in anything you want. I'm going to do this but put something in unique for me. Which is dope. And a lot cooler then just buying something.
I don't understand peoples hate towards you offering a free experience, with some real hit and misses of doing something for the first time. I thought you presented it real genuinely. Also, big plus for giving it a go, where you would have had a bit of pressure on yourself if it all went wrong (and having to sort out your benchtop). Checked out your website and you have some detailed tips and building a great community of RV'ers. Well done.
Late to the party as usual for this old bloke from Down Under, only recently chanced upon your RV videos, and while I’ve watched a lot, started from the oldest so I’m still a year behind, I’m finding each video to be so different, but still with the great continuity of enthusiasm and joy. Pippi you’re like a sponge, each time you’re learning how to DIY while you’re educating the audience. You certainly are an inspiration, Thank You for your kindness in doing this, Bless You.
I'm so glad I came across your video's. I've been looking for real tutorials not done by RV dealers on how to do many things. I have a small 10 ft. camper, a 27 ft camper and a motorhome that all need so much work. I think I'll start with the floor and work my way up! Loved your flooring video and this counter top is too cute...looks amazing...well done. I'll post my paper bag floor in my 10' camper when it's done!
Fantastic effort Pippi and the end result shows it. I was doing some research about applying Epoxy flooring and came across your video. I really enjoyed how you just jumped into the project and shared what you learned by trial and error. Thank you for the positive attitude about trying new things and taking a chance. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
I love that you used the wall color underneath. I think the color contrast is perfect! & I was glad to find out why you glued the pennies down...I didn't understand that at the time when you were doing it. Great job, as usual!
Oh My Gosh. you are such a great crafter, you explain in great detail exactly what a person may go through and it is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience it turned out beautiful.
Love your video - I did a bathroom counter using stones, jewels, and small bangles - It came out nice, but I allowed the resin to flow over the edge and smoothed it out which made it one unit - After it dried I just trimmed off the underneath part and sanded - I love working with this stuff and will do my kitchen next, but that will be a BIG job
She's adorable! Good for her that she undertook a big project like that. I know she's wicked proud of what she found out she could accomplish. Yup, she made mistakes, but she learned from them. She's now part artist part craftsman. I was very entertained watching her and she made me lol a few times. Good work Pippi, don't stop attempting new things that challenge you.
You are just too awesome! I love how you jump in and aren't afraid to tackle a project....take on the unknown, so to speak. Great job! I'm so glad I discovered you today. Hubby and I moved into our RV in May 2018. First time RV owners and we jumped into full-time living right away. There are so many projects I'd like to tackle, but fear keeps me from doing most of them. You are FEARLESS!
Of course you know with all these personal touches you can never sell this RV. Great job. You've actually given me some ides regarding things I'd like to do to my next RV. Keep those videos coming. Be safe.
+ Skip Hedgepath. I don't agree with you at all. First of all, I don't think she is looking to sell, but second, if she does why would she be unable? She would just need to find a buyer who either likes what she has done or who wants to rip it out and put their own person touch on it. You Tube is full of people who have done that.
+Mary Anne Brown I believe your misreading what Skip was intending to say. The endearing touches will make it hard to let it go is more likely what he was trying to convey. I have many items which would fall into the same category if I eventually decided to sell them. I'd have such a hard time in parting with them, that I could never sell them, even if I wanted to. I may be incorrect, but that was how I viewed Skip's comment, myself.
I think you are really creative and I like how you took ugly oxidized pennies and made them into something beautiful. The more videos I watch the more I realize how you have the rare giddy bright personality. thanks for the creative teaching and as always making me smile. I hope you will always shine like you do now.
Looks great but how much weight did you add to your rig / gas mileage and ware on the tires are affected by added weight / RVers have to be minimalist to keep the rigs working best / great project though
This is amazing and very creative!! I remember a friend who had a bar called the Silver dollar and this is kind of what they did but with silver dollars at the bar, it was 1000s of silver dollars. It was basically the same technique, but for an RV? This is so cool!!!
It was fun watching this. The enthusiasm and energy. Plus the fact you are quite the cutie pie doesn’t hurt. I liked the project and how it turned out.
I've been enjoying and learning from your videos. Thank you so much! I have a few questions about your penny/epoxy sink surround and your cd table top. They are both lovely and I am inspired to try something similar. Now that more than a year has passed, has the epoxy yellowed much? Is the surface still practical and easy to clean around the sink and stove? Has water been a problem, leaks, etc,... around the faucet?
I am wanting to epoxy my RV countertops. Did the tape come off easily after 2days between stove and counter? I’ve been told need to remove tape ASAP with epoxy. I’m planning on painting and don’t want to use “topcoats” (as they chip and have issues with water marks). Yours turned out beautifully and seemed to be somewhat an easy solution for not having to take stove out!
More fun to hear you describe what is going on with the project. I did watch another fellow do a table top and sides. The edges were rounded and the Epoxy flowed over the open edges thinly. He used a torch on the surface bubbles and scooped off the uneven lower edge of side similar to what you did to the covered edges on your nice looking project. Maybe the bathroom next time, nice job.
I admire you and all your ideas pippi awesome craftsmanship. I was getting a new rv, but watching your videos on upgrading...!! WOOW!! it can look better than new.
Blowing thru a straw works better , but a scrapbooking heat gun used very gently and a distance away will work really well.I used to make charms this way.They look store bought and I Hated any bubbles or would throw them away.You can use a coupon and get the heatgun at michaels.Dont use a regular heat gun or a hair dryer.and try to do it in sections.Wear gloves, have ventilation and put on a mask.Loved this video.Their is a long drying time , really it takes a couple weeks to cure really hard, well in the Midwest and making metal charms it did.Love your videos, two in and I am hooked lol..
I've been inching to do something with Epoxy but I have not found anything worth doing yet. It is a very expensive process to screw up so till then ill watch a few more projects being done on you tube till i feel more comfortable. Great job Even though you hit some walls looks like you solved it out great.
Very nice job Pippi. Just a thought would a hair dryer on hot, low speed help with the bubbles? I had another thought on edges in general. If you had a small metal brake from say Harbor Freight, you could bend a bunch of pennies to cover the top front edge of the counter top. You could even wrap the lower front edge with the bent penny to go under the front edge finishing it off. Turn the bent penny the other direction on the back edge where the counter top & wall meet to begin a back splash. Keep up the good work.
Hey. Great videos BTW. Question. Has it held up to the heat of your stove? Any discoloration or sopts that have changed from how it turned out when you first did the counter top? I'm doing my own Reno top to bottom in my camper an I'm trying to decide on how I should do my tops
Love this look. I'm actually considering doing something similar, but with patterns of colored aquarium gravel instead of pennies. I do have a question though. Do I have to be concerned about the epoxy holding up against the heat generated by a microwave or a convection oven?
I use to live in Corpus Christi and there was a bar called the Silver Dollar Bar and sure enough the bar was covered with silver dollars, covered with epoxy like your counter but not nearly as thick as yours and it was beautiful. Great job girl.
What an inspiration! The end result is so beautiful, and well worth the effort. Would love to see a list of the exact products you used, epoxy, tape, etc. Thanks for the work you put into another great video for us! All the Best, and Happy Camping!
+Allen Hare Epoxy was from big name hardware store. I can't recall the name but you'll find it at either in or around the paint section. The tape is called flashing tape or metal duct tape. :)
try tapping on the counter to work the bubbles to the surface . That is what we do in the concrete field ! Not sure if it would work but i know it works for other things .
great video. One thing I would do is if you're cutting pennies with Aviation Snips I would use safety glasses to protect your eyes and cut the pennies in a small bag grocery bag ziplock bag any type of enclosure that keeps the penny from flying and possibly causing injury.
Epoxy as this is essentially self-leveling, but if your use tape and there is no drop off area at the meeting points to the tape and counter, then expect to see points or ridges where the epoxy curls upward instead of having a watershed effect or curved edges. Trimming the edges when the epoxy is dry is something I have not seen, other than to remove drips or excess flow that usually ends beneath the edge of a counter. When you trimmed down the peaks, did it show in the epoxy finish that was left on the counter at the edge? I wasn't for sure if it would end up showing or not. I am doubtful you could sand the edges smooth and it not show sanding marks in the epoxy, but I have not tried such. How did your edges look once you trimmed them? Could you easily tell that they had been trimmed down?
Very neat, I have seen this done in homes and bars before but never in a camper. You do a really nice job on your videos. Love watching them. Might do this in my fifth wheel. Thanks..
Love it! Great job and a fun video to watch. Thanks for talking about your mistakes as well. That’s how we learn! Those shears worked great. What brand and model are they please? Finding shears that work is holding up my penny hearth!!☹️
Hi Pippi, It has almost been 2 years since your major renovation with the decorative Countertops. Would you please tell me how it is holding up? Does the Epoxy get "hot rings" when a cup is put on its surface, or scratch easily? Thanks Pippi, this is really important to me!
+Momzilla It's still looking great. There are no rings. There are small scratches you can see if you look sideways at it but not otherwise. This epoxy is made for bars at restaurants.
This my dear is absolutely wonderful news! I've been talking about your work for a couple of weeks now. I can now tell my "most awesome half" that if Pippi is happy after two years, we will be happy too! Thanks Sweetie!
The older pennies really stand out, I love it. Great job, Pippi. Already saw your tabletop video first, and it was super as well. You got skills, young lady. Sub'd.
Great jog Pippi! It is obvious that you did a lot of research before starting. I hot gun works great for getting out the bubbles. Also, you can take course sand paper to "break" the sharp edges and then sand that will really fine (at least 600 grit) and it will match the top. Then put on a good coat of car wax. But either way I commend you for taking the plunge!
That is so cool :) I was in someone's home years ago, and they did their bathroom floor in nickels. It was very cool, but they said it took forever and once was enough, lol! I like it!
Pippi it looks great , the only thing I it would take me forever I would have to have all the pennies heads up , in the same direction orderly , it looks great ,
Ben I was thinking the same thing. I wondered if I made this, if I'd need to have them all the same way. I think I definitely would, and there would be no oxidized ones in my plan.
I ended up looking up Epoxy floor and seen how to do marble looking countertops. Thinking about that for my RV. Well... after I finally get everything registered and hit the road. All this snow is for the birds!
what brand of epoxy would you recommend? I have a beautiful microwave cabinet that has some weird plastic replacement on the top in the middle where I would assume a marble cutting board was, and had broken. However I have no idea of what would be a good brand. I don't want to mess this up.
Wow - nice effect and beautiful (as is the maker :) ). Do you think using a hot air gun on a lowish heat help with the bubbles? Brilliant ideas and videos - thanks very much.
your CD table is Gorgeous l want to do it on one of my tables befor it falls apart but you didn't mention what kind of epoxy you used or where can I buy it from. and you didn't show us how do you stick the metal band. please advise thanks.
You can get the epoxy from Lowes or HD in the paint area. I did a video on all the in depth info and how-to's when I did my penny counter top the same way. You can check that out here: th-cam.com/video/KwPPCoQ7jQ0/w-d-xo.html
+Pippi Peterson I'm confused. I thought this was the penny counter top video you are talking about. I am very familiar with resin but would like to know what brand you used. thanks.
I'm surprised you got the tape off between the stove and counter top. The epoxy didn't get locked in? Nice job btw. Love that you are not afraid to try things.
Hello Pippi, Another very fine job once again. Counter top looks excellent, I built my own log home 12 years ago and wished I"d known this coin trick, My counters would look great done this way. Keep up the great work hon and I'll keep on watching. God Bless and take care...................... MtDew
Hi there. Have You ever think about off the grid container house laid on long trailer extended alongside when parked. Just when U travelling is compact road size but when U're up is extendable and makes nearly three of size. How would U organize this, I know i am asking correct person in correct time. If U do not mind to answer, please do so. Best Regards, Karl Kuleta.
+Karol Kuleta I'm extremely interested in shipping container homes, if this is what you're talking about. Though they might be a little too heave to go on trailers...
Very good video. I love your positive attitude. And cute too! This idea can be carried over to just about anything. I was thinking about setting some of my copper tooling in epoxy like that.
When you said you were going to cover with pennies I thought that is going to be silly looking, but it turned out pretty awesome. really like the shiny look.also you did good by not painting base black. Great video thanks
you might of also been able to use high-grit sandpaper to take those edges off? you know, for those that might be worried about slipping and gouging the surface (like me)
That is very cool, good job. After watching several of Your videos, I'm thinking about keeping mine instead of selling it, maybe I'll do a couple more road trips. :-)
Great vid! I do have one suggestion though. You describe the process of removing the bubbles and pouring and so on, but you didn't show any of it. I saw that you filmed yourself blowing at first with that tripod, but didn't include any of that footage. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've been wanting to try something like this for a while now and your video will surely help!
+Ottb The laminate was already peeling off. I'd have had to reglue and apply the laminate. It also had chips in it that would have needed repair and the smooth urface may have not adhered well with the epoxy on top.
Hi. I really loveeee your video. Where can I purchase the small kit (Resin and Hardener) that you are using? I am going to do my old coffee table. Wish me luck.
Pippi you cracked me up when you said you epoxied a bug to your counter top! On the positive side, you can always claim to have an original one-of-a-kind counter top! I was concerned you might have seams showing where one batch meets another, but it looks great! You did a fantastic job!!!

The epoxy is very expensive compared to 8.00 in pennies.

Oh My Gosh. you are such a great crafter, you explain in great detail exactly what a person may go through and it is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience it turned out beautiful.

I wonder if it would help to heat up the surface area before you pour...

Thanks for the instructional video and your bubbly personality. Great idea especially for an RV!
Thanks for watching!
Hair dryer a little heat works well to get the bubbles out.
The heat from the hair dryer expands the bubbles.....
+Ivansgarage That's an idea too. However I don't have one. It was more exciting to use a torch :)
What an inspiration!
The end result is so beautiful, and well worth the effort.
Would love to see a list of the exact products you used, epoxy, tape, etc.
Thanks for the work you put into another great video for us!
All the Best, and Happy Camping!

+dschephigh1 Thanks :D
What a unique idea. It looks really great. Thanks for such an informative video.
I thought you were crazy until I saw the finished product. Looks amazing!
I love the look. Has the epoxy proven to be durable? Were there a lot of bad smells associated with the epoxy coating?
Thanks for the feedback :)
+Scooter McHolten It's been great. No scuffs or anything. I haven't smelled anything from it either except the day of pouring.
smart idea about matching the oxidized look with the background.

Pippi it looks great , the only thing I it would take me forever I would have to have all the pennies heads up , in the same direction orderly , it looks great ,
I was thinking the same thing it would bug me to know have it heads up or down evenly
Ben I was thinking the same thing. I wondered if I made this, if I'd need to have them all the same way. I think I definitely would, and there would be no oxidized ones in my plan.
OCD?
LOL!
I had never seen one of these done before. Very creative!
+Shannon Clements Glad you liked it! :D
I ended up looking up Epoxy floor and seen how to do marble looking countertops. Thinking about that for my RV. Well... after I finally get everything registered and hit the road. All this snow is for the birds!
what brand of epoxy would you recommend? I have a beautiful microwave cabinet that has some weird plastic replacement on the top in the middle where I would assume a marble cutting board was, and had broken. However I have no idea of what would be a good brand. I don't want to mess this up.
+m I just got what the big name hardware store had. Just be sure to follow the directions EXACTLY. Best of luck!
Nice Bounder! The counter really turned out beautifully!
Hi Pippi! Great looking finished product! You are a DIY rock star!👍👍👍👍
+Jay Winter Thanks Jay :)
Cool idea. I have to ask though why pennies? Pictures might be a little difficult with air trapped under the picture. Epoxy can be really expensive.
+Love2boat92 Why not pennies?
Pippi Peterson Ha-ha. You got me there. Lol. They are cheap.
I love that counter top! Thank you so much for explaining this. I wasn't sure I could use it thick. love it.
Wow - nice effect and beautiful (as is the maker :) ). Do you think using a hot air gun on a lowish heat help with the bubbles? Brilliant ideas and videos - thanks very much.
What a fun project. Looks very cool in the end.
your CD table is Gorgeous l want to do it on one of my tables befor it falls apart but you didn't mention what kind of epoxy you used or where can I buy it from. and you didn't show us how do you stick the metal band. please advise thanks.
You can get the epoxy from Lowes or HD in the paint area. I did a video on all the in depth info and how-to's when I did my penny counter top the same way. You can check that out here: th-cam.com/video/KwPPCoQ7jQ0/w-d-xo.html
+Pippi Peterson I'm confused. I thought this was the penny counter top video you are talking about. I am very familiar with resin but would like to know what brand you used. thanks.
all your questions were answered in earlier posts
I'm surprised you got the tape off between the stove and counter top. The epoxy didn't get locked in? Nice job btw. Love that you are not afraid to try things.
Thanks :)
Looks great. Its okay to be crazy it makes it more fun to watch.
+Joseph Mullin Thanks
looking at this video & the cd table video, woman, you have an incredible amount of patience doing these projects.
they both turned out nice, though.
+kodiak wild Thank you so much!
Hello Pippi, Another very fine job once again. Counter top looks excellent, I built my own log home 12 years ago and wished I"d known this coin trick, My counters would look great done this way. Keep up the great work hon and I'll keep on watching. God Bless and take care...................... MtDew
Hi there.
Have You ever think about off the grid container house laid on long trailer extended alongside when parked. Just when U travelling is compact road size but when U're up is extendable and makes nearly three of size. How would U organize this, I know i am asking correct person in correct time. If U do not mind to answer, please do so.
Best Regards,
Karl Kuleta.
+Karol Kuleta I'm extremely interested in shipping container homes, if this is what you're talking about. Though they might be a little too heave to go on trailers...
Very good video. I love your positive attitude. And cute too!
This idea can be carried over to just about anything. I was thinking about setting some of my copper tooling in epoxy like that.
+Christopher Dickenson Yes it's absolutely transferable. Sounds like a good plan!
Good follow up. I was wondering how you kept the epoxy from rolling off the end of the counter lol. Now I/we know....
Looks great, does the resin scratch or discolour over time
+Andrew Whitelegg It hasn't yet
You did a great job , keep up the good work . I am going to try this on a small table top. Your video was very helpful .
Oh I'm in love.......with penny tops 😍
i liked the advices about the bubbles and the multiple batches. thanks!
+Claudio Martella You bet, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great info. Like your use of the metal tape.
Great job! You should mention about ventilation while using apoxy.
Wow, it looks awesome! Masterful work, captain!
When you said you were going to cover with pennies I thought that is going to be silly looking, but it turned out pretty awesome. really like the shiny look.also you did good by not painting base black. Great video thanks
Never thought I'd ever wish to be Bubble-Filled Epoxy-Covered Pennies! But I am there!
Never heard of using penny's. Great idea! looks good.
+Ken Roney Thanks Ken :)
You have got so much patience!
This lady is STUNNING as well as extremely TALENTED
Excellent Job !!! You have inspired me to do my desk.
+nacra60na 😄👍
Wow! Good job sweetheart! I'm wondering how good and helpful you are on any point of view to me! God bless you and your family
you might of also been able to use high-grit sandpaper to take those edges off? you know, for those that might be worried about slipping and gouging the surface (like me)
That is very cool, good job. After watching several of Your videos, I'm thinking about keeping mine instead of selling it, maybe I'll do a couple more road trips. :-)
Great video, thank you for sharing, looking forward to your next project.
Great vid! I do have one suggestion though. You describe the process of removing the bubbles and pouring and so on, but you didn't show any of it. I saw that you filmed yourself blowing at first with that tripod, but didn't include any of that footage.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've been wanting to try something like this for a while now and your video will surely help!
+Joe Shopper ha, good catch. Unfortunately I forgot to hit record. My video on my kitchen reno has more details.
is it heat proof now? or will it leave a mark from a hot pot?
Very creative! I love it!!
How lovely! Really well done and beautifully explained. Enjoyed that immensely. Thank you very much. :)
very detailed, and loved your explanations. I am inspired. thank you Pipi! :-)
+Kalim Raja Thanks!
you are a spitfire young lady...I enjoy your videos VERY MUCH....keep on keepin on. 📐✏
+lori carter Thank you, Lori :)
I know this ia a couple year old video... I loved how you did this... I might make my desktop the same way... NICE JOB!
Well done! Thank you for taking the time to post for us.
+Mark G. Thanks for watching :7
Love it!!! Question: Why can't you just put pennies on top of laminate?
+Ottb The laminate was already peeling off. I'd have had to reglue and apply the laminate. It also had chips in it that would have needed repair and the smooth urface may have not adhered well with the epoxy on top.
Hi. I really loveeee your video. Where can I purchase the small kit (Resin and Hardener) that you are using? I am going to do my old coffee table. Wish me luck.
+Dat1DimpleDoe Home Depot or Lowes in the paint area. It's the stuff they put in bars and restaurant tables
Pippi you cracked me up when you said you epoxied a bug to your counter top! On the positive side, you can always claim to have an original one-of-a-kind counter top! I was concerned you might have seams showing where one batch meets another, but it looks great! You did a fantastic job!!!
+Wayne Mills (Technicmage) Thanks :)
