I have been trying to find a video of epoxy countertops that I want to create, and this is it!! Can you please tell me the names of the 3 Rustoleum colors you show in this video?
Did you do a blog on this particular video? I know I saw your other blog from the video that this was linked to. I’ve really enjoyed your videos! I think I’m going to use Stone Coat countertops. I can’t remember if you’ve used them or not but I know you’ve used a few. But your videos have been my favorite to watch. You’ve probably got a solid 100 views from me alone in the past week 🤣 I’m nervous and excited to give my kitchen a makeover
lol...Thank you for all the views! I didn't do a blog post on this particular video, sorry. I'm about to do a couple more epoxy projects though a tulip table top and a small kitchen with formica counters. so check back. thanks for the comment!!!
That's tough because I assume you don't want any seams at the corners, so you'll HAVE to pour the epoxy on the two vertical surfaces. I definitely would not do a dirty pour(where the color is in the epoxy). I would do it like I do and apply clear epoxy and then add the paint color to the surface after the epoxy has set up for a bit. Because epoxy will run down the vertical surface no matter what. So if you wait until the epoxy is almost set, the color won't run as much and you can keep the design(veining) in tact. Then don't use a heat gun on it after you add the design bc it'll cause more running. Does that make sense?
I’m learning so much from your videos. New subscriber! After the marbeling- when do I add the next and final epoxy? Do I wait 30 minutes and then pour final epoxy? Is that possible? Or do I have to let it set overnight- and then resand before applying final coat?
Thank you! You can do either way...faster to let it set up for a couple hours then re coat. But if you have to let it set overnight then you'll need to lightly sand before applying the second coat. Thank you so much for commenting!
Hello again! Just a quick question. Have you ever done a "dirty pour" and if so, did you add any slight veins to it?? I'm on the fence about doing a pour but I absolutely love your veining process! Thanks so much.....
I haven't ever done a dirty pour. I'd really like to try it but I haven't had the perfect piece for it yet. It was my intention to do my tulip table that way but then I got in a hurry and went back to my usual process.
mmmm...I'd say an hour to two hours. It should be set up enough that it wont drip off the tape when you take it off, but not so set that it gets locked in.
Thank you! I love the subtle designs too. I've used a couple different brands of epoxy. This video I used a local company here in Tampa. it's called McKinnon Materials...they ship and are super affordable. I've also used Total Boat Table top epoxy...in this video...th-cam.com/video/m5Cteeuqqp8/w-d-xo.html So far the results are the same.
How long do you wait to do your top coat and do you have a video just showing that step??? And your edges, do you just let it drip over and form its own design?? Wish I could hire you to come do mine! LOL
you have to wait at least 4 hours and not more than 6 or 8 hours. something like that...the epoxy containers should tell you the time frame for recoating. If you wait longer then you have to sand between coats.
I've used many different brands. This particular kitchen I used a local company here in Tampa. It's call Mckinnon Materials on 56th street, Tampa. You can google them and order over the phone. The prices are waaaaaay cheaper than online. But, you probably have an epoxy company in your town. Look up epoxy flooring supply company.
depends upon how many square feet you need to cover. my kitchen counters took 3 gallons for approx 58 square feet. two coats. That might be a lot because it was my first time...not sure.
I did my L shaped counters in one shot, and one side is 21' long and the other is 10' long. and I had no trouble with it. You have about 45 minutes open time...maybe more. The thing is you have to pour all connected areas at once.
Wow, I was super skeptical before you dried it. Looks great.
Thanks Kim.
Thank You!!! This is so beautiful. I can't wait to try it. Appreciate all of your time & information! ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for commenting Angela!
Totally doing this!!!! My kitchen is small! Only 15 square feet of surface. You subtle marbling is just what I’m looking to do. It’s beautiful 💕

How would you suggest to epoxy a waterfall counter? The top I get but how would you do the vertical sides?
That's tough because I assume you don't want any seams at the corners, so you'll HAVE to pour the epoxy on the two vertical surfaces. I definitely would not do a dirty pour(where the color is in the epoxy). I would do it like I do and apply clear epoxy and then add the paint color to the surface after the epoxy has set up for a bit. Because epoxy will run down the vertical surface no matter what.

Is the final coat the same product as your first coat?

Excellent tutorial. What are the exact color names of the rust-oleum paints? Thanks.
thank you!
In the description...Rustoleum spray paint colors...
heirloom white
French beige
metallic gold
anodized bronze
@@MimzyandCompany thanks for the info.
Can you please list all the products you used. I mean the primer, the paint, everything
Would love to try doing this
How long do I wait to remove the tape from my back splash after poring the epoxy. Thank you
mmmm...I'd say an hour to two hours. It should be set up enough that it wont drip off the tape when you take it off, but not so set that it gets locked in.
I wonder what effect you'd get if you sprayed directly on the surface at close range?
you'd have a subtle all over color...
What kind of epoxy did you use? Thanks for sharing, I am researching different methods and I love the subtle coloring you made in yours! So beautiful
Thank you! I love the subtle designs too. I've used a couple different brands of epoxy. This video I used a local company here in Tampa. it's called McKinnon Materials...they ship and are super affordable. I've also used Total Boat Table top epoxy...in this video...th-cam.com/video/m5Cteeuqqp8/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for responding!! Excited to try out your method :)
What do you think may be causing our counter tops to be turning pink in some areas? We’ve had them done for about 3 weeks
huh...thats weird. Not sure why. Did you use acrylic paint for the base coat?
How long do you wait to do your top coat and do you have a video just showing that step??? And your edges, do you just let it drip over and form its own design?? Wish I could hire you to come do mine! LOL
you have to wait at least 4 hours and not more than 6 or 8 hours. something like that...the epoxy containers should tell you the time frame for recoating. If you wait longer then you have to sand between coats.
What is the name of your epoxy. Where do u purchase it? Thank you.
I've used many different brands. This particular kitchen I used a local company here in Tampa. It's call Mckinnon Materials on 56th street, Tampa. You can google them and order over the phone. The prices are waaaaaay cheaper than online. But, you probably have an epoxy company in your town. Look up epoxy flooring supply company.
What color paint did you use after the primer?
I used a color by Beth called swan wing.
Would like to k ow how much product I might need
depends upon how many square feet you need to cover. my kitchen counters took 3 gallons for approx 58 square feet. two coats. That might be a lot because it was my first time...not sure.
How much epoxy did you use?
I think for that board I used about 3-4 cups total. 1 1/2 to 2 cups of each(resin and cure).
How big of a surface to u epoxy at a time.
I did my L shaped counters in one shot, and one side is 21' long and the other is 10' long. and I had no trouble with it. You have about 45 minutes open time...maybe more. The thing is you have to pour all connected areas at once.
