Yes you can absolutely use it around the sink and on the kitchen countertop. That's what our company does. We create kitchen countertops along with bathroom counters and shower panels. I've included the durability video below if you use the topcoat sold by Savage Patriot. The video is for SP elite, however they just launched a new topcoat called Fortified and it's incredible! I just had the opportunity to use it this week and I will have some videos on it soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2bVY3ytgrGkjsksi=B9Xmxp1eCi-z_2H9

Thanks for watching

We fabricate all our counters with 3/4" MDF

Thank you

Awesome! I highly suggest you use PolyKote Pro Hybrid coating from Savage Patriot Polymers to ensure it doesn't yellow. The process would be a little different but if you watch my more recent videos on the product you can achieve a very similar look.

Thanks for watching

As long as your color coat has no issues and as long as you plan on putting on the topcoat, a clear coat isn't necessary.

Thank you so much

We use 3/4"

Our motto is from mild to wild. We create softer and busier designs to meet the requests of our customers. We currently are working on some wilder color patterns for a customer who wants every bathroom different. Luckily our countertops are functional art and we can create what the homeowner or business owner wants.

Though I can't promise it'll look exactly like mine, if you watch my videos and practice, you can definitely create a design that you'll love. But practicing is key. Don't just go for it on your countertops. Make a few sample boards that are descent size and play with the material. Get a feel for how it moves. And also practice applying the topcoat. I will also say that if you choose to use any other product other than PolyKote Pro like I used here, I can't guarantee that it will look anything similar. This product does things that no other product that I've used can do. It really does make it easy!

Thank you so much! Excited for you as well. PolyKote is indeed a resin. It's just not epoxy. It's a hybrid non yellowing resin. Another artisan calls it High Performance Resin in her ads and it's tracking really well. We still use certain hashtags including epoxy since people search for that term but we explain to our customers a bit about PolyKote and why we use it.

@ totally makes sense, thank you!! 🙏

Thank you so much for watching! We fabricated this counter using MDF and then put two coats of Behr Paint & Primer in one. Let off gas 24 hours and then scuff lightly with 220 grit sandpaper before pouring. If you're going over an existing surface the process is a bit different. Let me know if you're looking for full build tutorials as we have a few of those on our channel. It's definitely designed to use a topcoat for the greatest finish and durability. We like Savage Patriot's SP Elite topcoat. We primarily use the matte finish. Here's the durability video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2bVY3ytgrGkjsksi=aX_hFCHcfr5Ehz72 Here's a tutorial on how to apply the topcoat kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJzTeHuvaM2Fjq8si=qhMgAJNPmafyADJt

Thank you!

Thanks so much.

No. PolyKote is a hybrid coating that is non-yellowing. It's still resin based but not epoxy. All epoxy will yellow to some degree over time. Some people are ok with that risk depending on its use. But we prefer to know that the colors we pour will stay that way. You can purchase at www.savagepatriotpolymers.com

We have several full build tutorials on our channel if you need any help on that!

It'll have a slight texture but that's what gives it the scratch resistance. Feels very much like a leather finish that's often seen with quartz.

Well it definitely takes practice and skill. You can ask them to sand it down and reapply. But also find out what topcoat they're using. If They follow our technique with the rollers we use they should be good. But if they over roll or roll too hard, that's when you can see the lap lines. Here's our instructional video on how to apply. SP Elite Topcoat Tutorial- UPDATED! | Artisan Design Concepts kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJzTeHuvaM2Fjq8

@ I want the surface to be as smooth as glass the way Stonecoat is, granite, quartz. I was looking for a quartz look all the way. Sanding it smooth will work? I saw another of your videos, and it had a texture remain on the top. If I put another coat on it, can I use the Stonecoat method of a blow torch to smooth it out? Will that work? They said your polymer is guaranteed to never yellow.

High shine is not durable. Nobody's product with a high gloss can promise scratch resistance. The urethane topcoat, from any manufacturer, leaves a texture. You could sand it off starting with 80grit and then jump to 220 and do another clear coat of PolyKote but each of the PolyKote versions are really designed to have a topcoat for the best durability. PolyKote Enhanced gets the hardest. Be sure to torch 3-4x lightly in 10 minute intervals after you lay it out.

Thank you! With the PolyKote original and pro, the bubbles pop themselves. With the Enhanced you still need to use a torch towards the end to pop bubbles because it's a thicker product.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. I used silver, black and some white. Adjust the ratio to achieve the amount of light or dark you're envisioning.

@@ArtisanDesignConcepts thank you i washing yours video for long time I'm going to push the trigger and do my shower my self i get clases back in home are I'm from north eastern Pennsylvania and love those color you used and technique god bless you and keep doing amazing stuff

Thank you so much for watching.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching. I encourage you to ask questions in the comments if there was something unclear or that you feel was missed. We do our best to capture every moment.

Every job is different cost. This was in a training environment.

Thanks for watching

Thank you! Yes there are different steps to prepping over quartz. I suggest posting photos of your counters with your question in our group so we can address the process easier.

Yes as long as you apply the SP Elite Urethane topcoat.

Thank you so much! Depends on the current surface and the edge round over. What material is it?

Thank you! The resin is called PolyKote Hybrid Coating from Savage Patriot Polymers. You can order at www.savagepatriotpolymers.com

I use it for everything.

Thank you. No very different. Polyurethane is typically a topcoat not a base boat. The SP Elite is a urethane topcoat for durability.

Thank you so much! Glad we could help inspire you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you. We use products that have low or no VOCs but yes in general everyone should take proper precautions. I just can't video or talk with it on and honestly it's hard for me to even be creative with it. I've tried. So I take the risk. I do protect my skin though because I'm highly allergic.

Thank you!

We fabricate using MDF. You can pour over other surfaces as well but it takes a different type of prep. What kind of surface did you have in mind?

@ArtisanDesignConcepts wood?

@@roserodriguez5491you mean like plywood? Technically yes you can go over plywood but you would want to seal it first. It's better if you can to fabricate out of MDF. But with plywood if you sanded it and then did a thin coat of resin first to seal any air, then you can scuff it with 220 grit sandpaper and then do a bonding primer followed by a regular paint primer before pouring.

@@ArtisanDesignConcepts gotcha thanks 🙏🏼

If you use PolyKote from Savage Patriot and use the colorants made for epoxy/resin, it will not yellow. Also use the SP Elite topcoat for durability. Order at www.savagepatriotpolymers.com

Depending on which epoxy you decide to use so do your research!!!!!

@ already did

Thank you so much!

Are you asking why after 3 months is your epoxy yellow? Because PolyKote will not yellow. Unless you tinted it yellow that is.

Yes we do prefer the waterproof MDF. I know it's heavier but it lays flatter with less prep needed to seal off the foam.

Too much what?

@@ArtisanDesignConcepts too much and too many veins to the point it does not look natural.

Wow you're the first negative reply that I've had since they launched. My question to you is have you reached out to the manufacturer directly instead of just posting a negative remark? Savage Patriot is the type of company that would look into any issues that you brought forward and help figure out what the issue could have been. So my suggestion is to reach out to them via email and explain the situation so they can look up what you've ordered and can discuss everything that was done. You can email [email protected] Oh and I assure you that they put their products through a ton of testing prior to launching .
