Bro, you did really good. Thanks so much for testing out our products. I really appreciate that. Do you mind if I use parts of this video on our channel to refer folks to come watch you? I have been a fan of your work for a long time. Your real as hell and I love it. I would love to build something with you!
Looks awesome. I’d love to see an update in a few months about its durability. Countertops get so much abuse that I always wondered how these would hold up over time.
Epoxy countertops are super durable. I did my coutertops with Leggari about 5 years ago, and they're still going strong, still as gorgous as the day I installed them.
YES! Please redo the countertops. I loved the whole series of you guys redoing your kitchen but it felt unfinished because of the countertops. I love Stone Coat and really want to redo the counters in my kitchen but I'm not quite there yet. Please let me live vicariously through you. 😂💙
I’m about to do a full kitchen renovation and am pretty much convinced Stone Coat is my best option for countertops. So glad to watch The John Malecki tried it out first!
Love stone coat, love John Malecki! I have used the stone coat on several projects for home and office. Can't say enough of about how both channels have motivated and inspired me to do more projects. of course the desk I use daily is coated in stone coat epoxy and inspired by some of John's work.
I've used SCC for about 3 years now and they have a ton of helpful videos. Their ultimate top coat (matte, or gloss) is some super durable stuff that won't scratch, mar, fade, etc.. I highly recommend that if you do anymore countertops in the shop. Hell, even at home. The piece you did there looks great nice work.
Uou just scratched a tiny surface of whats possible with stone coat epoxy! Ive done a ton of tops & people love it! The color and techniques are literally endless! Looks good!
Thank you for testing this product. I’m renovating our new house with this stuff so I’m so glad to see someone I trust use it and say they like it. Great video
Extra points for using the original cover for Blink 182. The second and third release had a nurse with a white hat, as opposed to using "the red cross",which defies the Geneva convention.🤘
I have used the stuff for years. Made a desk top for my kid, made a couple tv trays and if I can do it, anyone can. Its fun to play with and all the differing colors, there is a lot you can do with it.
I love stone coat have used it a bunch comes out great even when you mess up. You can do counters, showers, floors, river tables and the art projects. Love there product.
Both tops look awesome, always in for more home reno videos. Have been waiting to do something like this for the laundry room counter... a lot cheaper than stone. Love the channel and what you guys are doing
To add an even more authentic stone look, try roughly adding Bondo to the edges and then sanding down the high points. It gives it a "chiseled stone" look on the edges. Very nice!
A tip when using cheap brushes, run some super glue on the base of the brush, that will eliminate any hairs/fibres falling off, i use this method for doing carbon fibre as i too use brushes once and throw away
When calculating volume, 1mm thick pour for a square meter is 1 liter of epoxy. Which translate roughly to 0.04 inches thickness to about 9 square feet is about a quarter gallon or so. An inch thickness would therefore be 25 times that or about 6 gallons.
You guys should also look into leggari epoxy as well for counter tops and floors. I haven’t used them but have watched lots of videos on them and stone coat and from the videos leggari seems easier. But both have awesome results
Very cool project boys. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends keep making. Stay Squirrely. God bless.
That is freaking cool. Probably going this route for my bathroom counters instead of doing a concrete top. Keeps weight and cost down and looks just as good
You definitely should put this in your kitchen... get ahold of the guys at SCC and see if they want to collab with you for the project.. it would make great videos for both of your channels!! And who knows maybe eventually Mike will invite you to visit him in Hawaii!!
I'm slightly more partial to Legarri. But if it's not Legarri, I'm definitely going with Stone Coat. also, pro tip, tape your bottom edges separately, and then you don't have to sand them.
I've worked with epoxy for 4 years. Played with other epoxies that were less expensive...never again! Nothing but trouble with the off brands. From fish eyes, divets and disgusting oders to severe allergic reactions that still affect me over a year later. SCC is the best and worth the extra money. I've never had any issues with it and highly recommend recovering your countertops with it.
I love this and think you did an awesome job! For the next time, and especially if you do the kitchen counters again, I recommend investing in some quality PPE (as resin fumes are toxic, even in a well-ventilated environment) and making sure to support the MDF all the way across to avoid the bowing you had in that one.
Seen their videos and questioned if it truly was that cool and think I will try it after you did this! Also give it a shot on your kitchen counters! You don’t like them so you can’t ruin it only improve or help you make the decision to redo them!
I built my own kitchen and bathroom countertops (first time to ever do anything like that) and used Stonecoat epoxy. They have a roll on sealer that gives the matte finish you were aiming for, and would still be food safe if you were doing kitchen counters. Rubio, I suppose, is okay for a bathroom but would probably need reapplied periodically. I love Stonecoat epoxy and can't wait to do more projects.
I have to say, I am not sponsored by or connected to Stone Coat but when we bought a house and it had those hideous pink laminate countertops, as a temporary solution for a year or so, I did a Stone Coat finish over the top and it turned out great! I'm not sure it would be what I would do as a long-term kitchen, but for 18 months we had it on our countertops and it was MUCH better than what was there originally and only cost like $120 for the whole countertop. We did the black one with the white marble spray effect. Looked great (though it did lose the luster of its original sheen and turn more matte over time).
I'd like to see your countertops redone. But, definitely use the Ultimate Top Coat from Stone Coat Countertops. You should consider some of the videos from RK3 Designs on You Tube! Also, I'd love to see you and Mike do some projects together. I love both of your work!
I love this channel! Honestly this has me wanting to do woodworking and epoxy myself. That said I have a question due to my lack of knowledge, what kind of wood board did you use for this?
Bro, you did really good. Thanks so much for testing out our products. I really appreciate that. Do you mind if I use parts of this video on our channel to refer folks to come watch you?

I smashed my head on the like button- for FOX’ sake, DOOOOITTTTTTTTTT😆🤯
That would be friggin amazing if y'all did sonething together.
That’s a PRO TIP!! 😂
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Two of my favorite channels
I've used StoneCoat for years. Love it! Zero VOCs, long pot life, great working medium.
Stone Coat Countertops is the best I do a lot of projects with their products and is super awesome

I did mine with stone coat three years ago and still holding up great.
Yes. Pour it on the house countertops, but maybe with another color or swap the pigments, make it black with white streaks.
Big YES to the kitchen! Any excuse to see more home renovations
Yes, definitely re-do your kitchen countertops!!!!
YES! Please redo the countertops. I loved the whole series of you guys redoing your kitchen but it felt unfinished because of the countertops. I love Stone Coat and really want to redo the counters in my kitchen but I'm not quite there yet. Please let me live vicariously through you. 😂💙
Would love to see you try it on a larger scale like your kitchen to see if it adds any challenges or if it is just as easy.
Never clicked on a video faster 😂❤️🍻
You did FANTASTIC!!! I’m a SCC Distributor and would LOVE to do a TH-cam colab with ya!!! 😊😊
I say do it to the kitchen with Sam of course. Lol It looks freaking awesome!

I used this on bathroom countertops…I went simple quarts looks. Came out awesome
How has it held up with the steam and stuff? And did you also use MDF?

You should do it to your kitchen man. It came out bad ass. I’m definitely blown away by how it turned out.
ever tried epoxy and sand? it's weird... but kinda cool.
Really like it at 7:38. After sand it, is more blurry and less details.
You got this! Oh wrong channel. 😜
I love stone coat have used it a bunch comes out great even when you mess up. You can do counters, showers, floors, river tables and the art projects. Love there product.
Woodpecker square for a circular saw guide. That is the classiest cut I’ve seen in awhile.
Beautiful!! You can frame theme like a picture- it's a work of art!!
Thanks for doing this. I have watched a gillion of their vids and was scared to try. Gotta go for it, now that you proved it out.
Stoked to see you guys using Stonecoat. I have been a fan of theirs and used their products for years. I’m confident you will love it for a long time.
I think it's the ultimate topcoat product that gives it the matte look. Plus it is super super durable.
House countertop are a must to complete the kitchen
Love the Blink cover pop up as John puts on gloves
Both tops look awesome, always in for more home reno videos. Have been waiting to do something like this for the laundry room counter... a lot cheaper than stone. Love the channel and what you guys are doing
Pretty interesting work, John! Fantastic! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Stone coat is a phenomenal product, we redid our countertops and we love them!
That came out really nicely. I think about this process whenever I walk by a worn out coffee table or something. I picture doing this to the top.
LOOKS GREAT Keep on banging out the awesome content
Superglue the brush fibers near the handle. Something I learned from a fan of industry garage.
New lighting is great well done Sam!
To add an even more authentic stone look, try roughly adding Bondo to the edges and then sanding down the high points. It gives it a "chiseled stone" look on the edges. Very nice!
Nice tip!
Definitely looks awesome. Do it at the house
A tip when using cheap brushes, run some super glue on the base of the brush, that will eliminate any hairs/fibres falling off, i use this method for doing carbon fibre as i too use brushes once and throw away
Definitely give it a try with your kitchen counters

You guys should also look into leggari epoxy as well for counter tops and floors. I haven’t used them but have watched lots of videos on them and stone coat and from the videos leggari seems easier. But both have awesome results
Love that! It's my favorite piece ❤
Yes to doing the kitchen counter tops
Yes, please do the kitchen counters!
Looks great. Do it in your house. My grandmother's is very similar pattern except hers is white with blue.
Very cool project boys. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends keep making. Stay Squirrely. God bless.
You should totally build Matt on Demoranch a badass table for his new underground bunker/gunsafe!!
I’ve used that product in a few different kitchens, and my clients have loved it. I especially like that odd shapes can be made without seems.
A collaboration video of you and Stone Coat Countertops would be awesome you should do it
You should do your counters you hate plus look at stonecoat countertops play list for other finishes for matte, honed, or leathered looks
That is freaking cool. Probably going this route for my bathroom counters instead of doing a concrete top. Keeps weight and cost down and looks just as good
Looks great, but is it considered food safe to be used as a kitchen work surface?
Love the Blink 182 album
Gotta love the Johnny bravo reference, new floor goofin
Yes , do your countertops. I've used automotive bondo on the edges to mimic a natural stone look and it looks great.
Would you suggest that if this needs a sink cutout, do it prior to the finish, or afterwards?
Did my counter tops with this. Used spray paint with it and some flake. Been three years now and still looks like I did when I did it. Holds up great.
Try reverse cast concrete countertops.. they are super simple to make and turn out better than any pour in or over products on the market.
Love your channel. That epoxy countertop is fine as frog hair. Can you pour over existing countertops. What would be the prep>
Yes! Do your kitchen counters.
You definitely should put this in your kitchen... get ahold of the guys at SCC and see if they want to collab with you for the project.. it would make great videos for both of your channels!! And who knows maybe eventually Mike will invite you to visit him in Hawaii!!
Stone coat is great, I used it for my Walnut bar top it turned out beautifully, and their customer service was great when I had questions.
Awesome job. Been my favorite epoxy for years.
Looks amazing, and if you do hate your countertop then you should do it.
Awesome was thinking about doing one of stone coats kits as well.
I'm slightly more partial to Legarri. But if it's not Legarri, I'm definitely going with Stone Coat. also, pro tip, tape your bottom edges separately, and then you don't have to sand them.
Looks great I’d love to see a video of you redoing your kitchen countertops
That is freaking awesome! Do your counter tops!

You dont know how amped I got on my lunch break when I saw theirs a new video up!

Yes to trying it in Johns kitchen.

Rubio, I suppose, is okay for a bathroom but would probably need reapplied periodically. I love Stonecoat epoxy and can't wait to do more projects.
That would be a very nice countertop. DO IT!
This is dope. Love it.
Would this kind of finish be durable for outdoor use if you added epoxy to both sides?
Yes I think you should do your home counter tops with this stuff
Totally need to redo the kitchen countertops!
I did my kitchen tops with this product and we couldn't be happier.
I have to say, I am not sponsored by or connected to Stone Coat but when we bought a house and it had those hideous pink laminate countertops, as a temporary solution for a year or so, I did a Stone Coat finish over the top and it turned out great!

Hey how much would you charge for a mold just like your Steeler one you did but for the Raiders
Do it!! Re do the kitchen counter tops!!
Okay. Now to do yours at home! Nice looking top😎
How well does this do with heat? Like if hot pasta or a hot pan gets on the counter
for more scratch resistant top with a matte finish use the stone coat ultimate top coat
Keep featherin it, brother!!!
I painted my countertop and used a "sea sponge" to dap the dark color on.
I'd like to see your countertops redone. But, definitely use the Ultimate Top Coat from Stone Coat Countertops.
You should consider some of the videos from RK3 Designs on You Tube!
Also, I'd love to see you and Mike do some projects together. I love both of your work!
DO IT AT HOME! Hell, that be a good one for stone coat to colab on with.
Can food be prepped on with or without the Rubio topcoat?
A little bit late, I just recently found your channel, love your videos
Looks awesome would love to see you do your countertops, I am thinking about redoing our entire kitchen now
Looks great. I would have poured a clear epoxy over it instead of putting the Rubio on it.
How hard is the epoxy once it dries compared to a normal counter top? Does it seem like it would be durable and hold up over time?
I love this channel! Honestly this has me wanting to do woodworking and epoxy myself. That said I have a question due to my lack of knowledge, what kind of wood board did you use for this?
