    Hi everyone! Thank you so much for watching. I have gotten complaints about the music being too loud in comparison to me speaking, if this is the case for you there are captions on this video so you can turn the volume down if needed! I hope that helps! I cannot change the volume of the music now. Thank you again for watching! Make sure to check out my kitchen makeover video after you’re done with this th-cam.com/video/QwoAwgDsCKw/w-d-xo.html

      So, from your comments that tells me that I need to get my ac vents cleaned out before I resurface the counter tops. It was built in 1995 with the house I'm looking at to purchase. I've seen coupons for $150 or so from companies who do that sent out thru the mail from Valu Time coupons. Maybe watch for it in the coupons of your newspaper too.
      Thanks for posting this video. I am in Temple, TX and if I get the house I will relocate to small town Texas about 90 minutes north of here and cuts commute time to my parents if they choose to come live there with me. (*Its got a pool so it's a steal deal for the price!)
      My apt has some sort of kit but the caulk at the wall above the back splash looks totally awful! I want to try to fix it here before I move over to the house. WWYD? The ceiling collapsed in the kitchen before I moved in, so all of the cabinets have water damage and I asked if it's ok to paint with sealer and paint the cabinets white to seal in whatever mold maybe there? But I don't have answer to that yet. In some apts I've seen that they've used gray latex paint on the caninets that's peeling horribly. But mine specifically haven't been painted at all. They're putting black appliances into these apts. I thought maybe white "marble" counters would go well with that paint color. I think white subway tiles are nice for the upper splash guard too, say like behind the stove or sink areas to protect against getting MORE water damages. I can get those as peel and stick items too, but that's yet another project in the updating process.

      Hi thank you for your video :)...I was just wondering if the product you used didn't need a heat gun or torch to remove the air bubbles? Was there no bubbles forming after you poured the epoxy? Thank you in advance!

      Thank you!!!!!! Omg I agree completely. Every video I’ve seen I’m always like wait how did you get this to do this or how did we just go from nothing to the counters being done lol. I tried to be as thorough as possible, I’m sure I forgot to say some stuff I wanted to say so I’m gonna do a tips video this weekend. It was honestly SOOOOOO much easier than I anticipated!!!! 🙌🏻😍 try it!

      If you haven’t used epoxy. I suggest doing a smaller project. Like a side table. It helps. You could also do your kitchen in pieces instead of the entire thing. Bc that can be overwhelming

    You did a great job!! I painted my cupboards with a chalk paint then put poly acrylic on top, love the way they turned out. I too used legal for my counter tops, very dissapointed after 1 year, they yellowed!!! Look horrible!! I redid them with stone coat counter top epoxy and used a black spray marveling paint, difference between night and day!! I have had them newly done now for 2 years and they are amazing!!!

    • @BrontesLife
      @BrontesLife  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is so cool! I have never used chalk paint but I always hear great things!! Ugh, yes ours are sttarting to yellow in some places and I wish I knew what it was from. Probably going to contact them because it definitely should not be yellowing! Maybe we will just have to redo them!

      Jewel of Wisdom the product she is talking about is the legari product that I used in this video. Ours are starting to yellow 7 months in as well, but only in a few spots. Definitely not happy about it. Stonecoat countertops was our runner up in choice for product we were going to use and probably should’ve gone with them instead 🤣

    • @jewelofwisdom8279
      @jewelofwisdom8279 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Bronte’s Life thanks so much for stepping in and responding. So sorry you’re experiencing yellowing as well (As the other comment or) but thanks for the heads up. You should probably consider doing an update and stonecoat resolution since so many will be using the other product based upon your recommendation not knowing the short term implications...Just a thought.

    • @BrontesLife
      @BrontesLife  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jewel of Wisdom I will definitely do an update! When we did the countertops and up until the last month or so they’ve been amazing! Held up so well. We have a couple of yellowed spots, but not the whole countertop. I feel like maybe doing the urethane top coat on such white countertops may not have been the best choice lol. Urethane can discolor and that’s definitely what happened! I could be totally wrong though. When we did the countertops and up until recently they were amazing, the products were super easy to work with, and the fact what everything came together was awesome!!!!! Maybe too good to be true 😂

The kit will cover up to 50sqft and we have 39sqft, so if you only have the long counter space you’re golden and you only need one kit!

      @@jenniferescobedo3655 it depends what you want. Maybe not if you want laminate countertops, but if you want quartz or granite then yes. Depends on size of your kitchen. Price it all out! Calculate square footage then find whatever countertops you want. We couldn’t afford the quartz we wanted, so for us it was the affordable option to get the look we wanted.

    Your countertops look great and I actually like the rolled look of the added color over actual veining.
    I do have one question. I've seen many videos so I'm not sure which product it was used with but to get the bubbles out the person sprayed rubbing alcohol over the top and it eliminated the bubbles. Do you know anything about this?

    • @BrontesLife
      @BrontesLife  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you so much!!! From my understanding the rubbing alcohol will give it some sort of effect for aesthetic purposes when you’re doing the highlight color (veining) and not necessarily get rid of bubbles. I could totally be wrong though. I think different products require different things. Some people recommend using a heat gun or blow dryer for bubbles. We only had two spots that bubbles and they popped on their own while setting. I don’t know if that answer was helpful or not 😂 I’m so sorry if it wasn’t

    • @BrontesLife
      @BrontesLife  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much!!! It should last a while! I’m not sure exactly how long, but at the very least a few years. Our countertops have held up really well! I don’t baby them. We have very minor scratches on them that you can only see in certain lighting and I’m not sure if it’s from sliding stuff around or just the marks left behind when sanding before the top coat. Either way, you can only see them when the light hits a certain way and if you’re looking closely. A couple of spots have stained, but I have no clue what was set there to stain them. Other than that they’re great! Still going strong almost 8 months later!

      What I liked about leggari is that their kits came with the primer and highlight colors (even though I opted not to use them). Also, they don't require applying any heat to the countertops. That intimidated me with other brands, not gonna lie. I'm sure stonecoat is great though! Those were just my main two reasons for choosing leggari. They have great customer service too :)

    7:51 if wanna “save the material” getting “every last bit out” than here’s what ya do.
    Go buy a 5 pack of flexible “bench scrapers”. The stuff bakers use to get batters, mixes, etc out of mixing bowls, pans, etc….
    They come in 2 main “flavors”: silicone and plastic. My preference is buy BOTH, b/c sometimes the plastic works well and sometimes the silicone is best. Just depends on material using AND, a 2-5 pack of plastic cost $2-$6 at dollar store (or Amazon) and a 1-2 pack of silicone cost around $8-$15 depending on brand, size, & durability etc…(and can find on Amazon, Walmart, Target, but usually won’t find at a dollar store).
    They work well getting paint, and other materials out of buckets, bowls, containers…..and if want to clean them up well, can use for baking (bumptious personally I wouldn’t do that, as why risk it 😉).
