These 2 vids are the greatest! Like I said in the other one, GF SO wants a live edge table. After seeing you do this, and how straightforward it appears, I'm going for it. Thanks for these two vids DM.
Such a great product!!!! After watching the 1st video of the walnut slab, I was thinking right off the bat, he's gonna have to do it again. And, you showed just how easy this is to fix . That 2nd pour made that slab look awesome!!!!
You do the coolest things! I saw your pup walking around. I would have had hair flying from my GS and sticking to the epoxy. Great video as always. Thank you.☺🙏
Thank you Stanley, I think this looks great! and to be able to do this so cost effectively is amazing. This will help folks who are trying to remodel on a budget for sure. I'd love to see more on how you did the counter tops, including setting them up, the edge treatment et.
Stan, Thought you did a good job for your first time. Your correct, Stone Coat is the only epoxy to use. Started watching your channel years ago looking for a contractor with advise . I didnt get paid on a job and was looking for help. It was nice to find someone on the contractors side instead of shows for the whiney homeowners. Hope to meet you someday. I am a fellow Pole also. Your one of the few subscriptions I have. Thank you
They look great! Wish you would wear PPE though, especially when you sanded the cheaper epoxy off, I learned the hard way. Still suffer from not wearing it. Hives, rashes, eyes swell shut like an allergic reaction. I won't use anything but SCC anymore, it's the only one I CAN use without any health issues.
Happy Valentine’s Day stan, hope your spending it with the ones you love, i treated my mom and dad to a lovely dinner, and my mom got my dad and me some lottery tickets, I didn’t win, but my dad won, but hey, we are all winners in our own way,a and as long as we remember that, we will go far n life.now at school, their were so any couple with followers lol
Shoulda worn gloves! :) Seriously, this is so cool to watch. I'm having to deal with my Mom's property, she passed over Christmas, I've been looking at Stone Coat, but seeing you guys do it give me some confidence to try something to make this place better.
Stan! It all looks so frikkin good! You guys did such a great job! Maybe this is something you can expand on in future jobs? Hmm. Something to think about. Good luck! God bless.
Looks great Stan! Oil looks better but is a hell of a lot of work - the sanding and repetition of coats as well as the ongoing maintenance. I've seen some stocks and tables with over 100 hours of just the finishing put into them - it shows but isn't worth it for most people. Epoxy is a great solution to get a good finish without the significant investment of time.
Nice. Great video. Looks good. Wax paper would have been great on the plywood you coated the small tops on. I bet it was fun trying to get those off the plywood the next day.
Awesome countertops you guys did their even though but mantle on the fireplace fan you the man you're doing good I really enjoy your videos and way you described things and show Health they're done God bless you
I appreciate that but I sure hope to never need something like that. maybe a good mechanic though👊. with a Class A license. Holy crap- Now thats an important person.😀
Epoxy is fun to work with. I'm a hobbist and do art..furniture pours...etc.. sanding also gives the new resin something to adhere to. I use Stone Coat Countertop Products too.
I am glad to watch the transformation of your counter & table! Its cool to see! Did you get much snow? We got hit a little that put around 1-2 in on the ground. Hope you have an amazing week! Keep up the great work!
we got a bit of snow but it didn't end for a long time. It snowed for hours but only gave us a few inches. But we ended up working almost 24 hours off and on for next to no snow. very weird little one. How did you do?
@@Dirtmonkey it was a strange snow, it came from an odd direction making it so that only a few spots on the route had enough snow to remove with a shovel, we handled most of our sites with salt
Truth be told on CAMERA it looked ok at the start, but once you zoom in, I can see why you hated it. I though you learned your Live edge/Epoxy lessons on your Home counter pour. :D End product looks good though! Thanks for sharing your experience with us :)
Nice fix on the live edge countertop slab. Did you know that there's a way to hang your mantle on the wall without corbels? It can be done with your mantle or shelves.
I was at a restaurant years ago and you could see the brush strokes in all of the tables. They definitely didn’t know what they were doing. Does this happen because it was to thin or because they brushed it after it began to set so it could not self level.
I re-did my coffee table and sanded it down 5 times to make sure it was smooth as possible(sanded down after every pour) When I got it into the house, it really looked good! The only thing that was wrong with it, was the mouse would not work on it. The reflection was too much for the mouse, so I had to take 3M scuff pad's green kind, and scuff it up a little, so the mouse would work! Lol!
Interesting, Do you not use a ( better than plain cheap ) Gaming style mouse pad ? Most of them have textile weaved surface durable woven fabric, water oil and dust resistant built in ( their words not mine). Laser/Optical sensors do not act too friendly to non textured/high reflective (not to be specific) surfaces to begin with, i personally would Never use a mouse on bare wood of any modified surface. Medium sized good ones avg 20-25 or less online like Newegg or Amazon sites and are worth the extra vs a cheap 5 from a few retail stores or dollar stores at the absolute worst.
@@Stratos53100 No, I don't use a pad, That's just something else to buy, I like my nice smooth table. O I never used a pad, ever! Lol! Does the couch count as a pad?
@@Handy-Dandy-Dave ok no problem, as long as it works, i have an older cabinet style 6ft tall whatever the proper name is, wore out one of the sliders by not using one and it tore up the surface of it years ago. Since then i've used one ever since.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I messed up my first epoxy resin project and the only fix is what you showed in this video. I have one question, what brush are you using? Which one is the best for this pour?
A drill will work great for mix epoxy but you real need to mix it at low speed to keep the air bubble's down. just rem to toss what ever towel or sponge you use to clean up the epoxy with.. dont wash a towel that you clean up epoxy with EVER.. To many pep dont want to mess with epoxy it great just have to be smart with it.
You are working on a piece of wood from a very old tree. With a $20 walmart sander and cheap sand paper. Looking for cabinet maker results. You should be using cabinet maker quality sanders like Festool with dust collection. They are the best I have ever used. I cut work and clean up time by 75% when I started using them over other products.
The wood is beautiful! Hope it turns out! If you don't mind texture, I would recommend SC extra topcoat. Sure, you can sand and polish, but I imagine you are going to be hard on the counter tops, that will keep it from scratching. IF you have soft spots, make sure you use a drill with a mixer on it. In large batches like that I would mix longer scraping the sides once in the middle of the mixing. This becomes increasingly important when you forget to trowel!! (this is where you can mix on the sub-straight as well) I hope you don't get soft spots, that kitchen is kick ass!
Stan your upstate home is really shaping up beautiful you won’t want to leave and go back to the rat race of the twin cities love the island turned out great👍🐒💪
I'll spare the long story... but my wife and I are rehabbing our first home, and if we'd have embraced the "you have to break an egg to make an omelet" mentality early on we'd have been done months ago...
Every time i do a dark color, the scuff marks show under the next clear. i have tried all the way up to 2000 grit and they still show under a clear pour. i have tried it at 220 and 340 too. how come everyone else seems to do this to fix things and then repour, but mine still shows scratches under the clear? im really confused. i also worked in resurfacing for 12 years for a 5 star company, we would sand as low as 120 on primer touchups and thats usually not going to show unless you pressed too hard when sanding. but im really confused why this wont work for me with epoxy pours. anyone know why this might be?????
Don't let your pooch epoxy his balls to the floor, that wouldn't be good... I can't figure out why mine didn't level out. I did the same as you, and it kept all the brush strokes and ridges??? wtf.... That's actually an outer frame of a different wood, the inner table, it leveled out, cured perfect, like glass.... but the outer frame it is like a ceiling??
These 2 vids are the greatest! Like I said in the other one, GF SO wants a live edge table. After seeing you do this, and how straightforward it appears, I'm going for it. Thanks for these two vids DM.

You amaze me, anything you get into is great to watch. Looks fantastic ! Thank you for the great videos.
Great work on the repair. Awesome final product.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for this video! I didn't think my mess up was fixable. But I am pumped to not scap it now😊
Looks good and damn black walnut finishes out so great… I’m making some black walnut cabinets now for a customer ✌🏼👊🏼👊🏼😎🇺🇸
They look awesome! I had vision of the pup jumping up on the mantle and knocking it over.
Stan,

That looks awesome great job, and easy to fix. Good job Stan.
this maybe the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Hehe wow much appreciated
When done correctly, they are good for decades. We bought some tree slab end tables in Oregon mid 1980s...still look nice.
Very nice recovery on your countertop. Great job as always, Stan.
They look great! Wish you would wear PPE though, especially when you sanded the cheaper epoxy off, I learned the hard way. Still suffer from not wearing it. Hives, rashes, eyes swell shut like an allergic reaction.
I won't use anything but SCC anymore, it's the only one I CAN use without any health issues.
I remember when you eyeballed that piece of wood. It looks absolutely amazing!
Appreciate it 😊

I'm sorry to hear that 🙏 The Stone Coat is pretty fun & on the simpler side to try out! Kinda hard to mess up too much
Stan! It all looks so frikkin good! You guys did such a great job! Maybe this is something you can expand on in future jobs? Hmm. Something to think about. Good luck! God bless.
stan was in a rush to get it ready for him and momma to christen it for valentine's day!
Beautiful work bro! a new sideline for you ;)
Came over to watch your video because of Mike from Stone coat loved this video Beautiful work.

Thank you! Saved my project. Great video and good tips/advice.
As soon as I seen Frankie I knew he was going to take that torch from you. 😂🤣😂 It looks amazing
Hahah yuuup
I really like the look of the island top!!!
That's an amazingly beautiful slab, Stan..........
Right!! Glad ya like it too

You and me both 😁

@@Dirtmonkey well I hope you find that important man sir! One love brother from South Dakota 🤙🏾🖤
I didn’t realize what a big beautiful piece of wood that island was made from..really thick butcher block..it came out great..
Stan final product looks awsome I like the shine of counter top
Thanks buddy glad ya like it

That's cool I bet they're awesome. How do you like using Stone Coat?
Man I've wanted to do this for a long time in my kitchen.
Stan you did a phenomenal job. That big slab looks amazing! So do the other ones but the big one especially. Great job brother👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man 😁👊
This is like watching paint dry.
I don’t normally comment on other guys wood, by you’ve got some nice wood there Stan!! Lol. Looks really nice!!
Much appreciated 😂

Just beautiful
Thank you! 😊. It was fun and easy and now I want to try and do something else with it.
Stan, ya missed a spot! BAHAHAHAHAHAH. Just kidding. Those all look awesome. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thanks buddy 😁

Does this happen because it was to thin or because they brushed it after it began to set so it could not self level.
Stanley, how do you do all the work you do? Do you ever rest? Are you super human? What is your secret?
Looks Great😁👍

Heck yeah 👊👊
I love the island how much was that slab I starting to get involved in epoxy
I'm not sure if I would be happy you doing all that sanding in my house .... beautiful table thou
Looks great now you can do mine, Just wish i had some to do...... heh Also have never had a center island either
That's bad @ss, I knew you were talented; but an artist? Cool Beans brother, very cool.
Stan, can you do a video of the Wright ZK with dual rear wheels vs the Altoz TSX in a wet swampy area to see what better. Also test it on hills.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I messed up my first epoxy resin project and the only fix is what you showed in this video. I have one question, what brush are you using? Which one is the best for this pour?
Thanks for the tutorial
Looking good
Hope you didn't leave that mantle on that plywood after you put epoxy underneath. Would love the after shots once installed
How do you mitigate dust/debris during your pours, especially in a construction area? Thanks.
Do you have to redo the entire top? I have 1 small hole and 2 inch indentation the rest of the table is perfect.
Nice moves bud
Nice Job.👏👏👍🏻😜
If you listen closely you can hear The Dirt Ninja treading on rice paper
looks great.
Glad ya think so! Thanks
Nice work

Gotta love the country 🤠
here to help
Always nice to see you Nash!👊
How is the odor? If there is one - how long before it clears?
You need a sander that you can attach a 20' shop vac hose to.
Hello there can you please review the Massimo msu 850 utv?
Man- how about "UTV on Tracks Plowing deep snow"
@@Dirtmonkey I would love that as well but you should review some Massimo motor products!
Dog stepped in your epoxy may want to clean that off
I'll spare the long story... but my wife and I are rehabbing our first home, and if we'd have embraced the "you have to break an egg to make an omelet" mentality early on we'd have been done months ago...
If you can't find an trowel try a glue spreader
If you really wanted a mirror finish, you could always cut and buff it like a car.

очень красиво !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man would I be nervous to do that
It's only permanent...lol
NICE 🙂
Nice
Good video but you need to stress the use of a mask anytime you are sanding. Safety fist and you will be able to do it for years longer.
DO NOT USE A DRILL TO MIX!!!!
Ask me how I know....🙂
Haha sounds rough 🥴
