@@LeggariProducts Hi, I am impressed with the versatility of Liggari products. I have a kitchen I am planning to lightly remodel, light gray walls white cabinets are the colors I am looking forward, black or white utensils not sure yet, I am working under a limited budget, I guess base on your experience what color would be a good match for the counter top, That it doesn't take too much time and simple to apply for someone who hasn't done it before? I am looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks

I am going to order your products for my ccounter tops in my kitchen, my 2 bathrooms, and my windows but I am wondering if there is any differences with the epoxy products if I want to use it on the flooring kitchen, bathrooms and the bathroom tiles? The same with the walls in the bathroom's tiles! I am really impressed and would like to use it all over the places that, I need to upgrade! I have a 2 inches damage on the surface of my bathtub and I whatched your work on the bath/kitchen sink and that was really helpful:) Is it possible to use your product on the kitchen cabinates? My cabinates are coldwhite glossy colored. Is it possible to use your product on my kitchen cabinets? Are you able to advise me about what kind of products I need to order if I send you pictures of my existing home design included my plans for upgades? please advice! Thanks:)

[@springhernandez7417]

Does this have a strong odor? I know spray paint does but the epoxy is my question and also could you use acrylic paint instead of spray paint? Beautiful turn out on this thank you for sharing.

[@LeggariProducts]

There are no VOC's so virtually no fumes at all. You can use acrylic paint but you can't use much because it won't level out flat and that can create issues.

[@jwlsilverback]

Can this be done on backsplash or will it basically run off?

[@LeggariProducts]

Yes it can, we recommend anything bigger that six inches to be applied horizontally then put up vertically. Thanks

[@hankturner2790]

Does your epoxy resin adhere to oil base polyurethane? How about dry spray paint?

[@ataylor073]

This is amazing what products are you using is the primer epoxy mixed with a colour?

[@LeggariProducts]

The primer goes on first then you add the metallics to the epoxy for the base coat and highlights. Thanks

[@nikkeihumphrey4090]

Stunning, just beautiful!! I've watched a few of your vids now and a few others and on the others they use heat guns to reduce the air bubbles. Do you not need to heat your product at all?

How does it take scrapes or knife edges?

[@MewCat100]

I've used several brands of these countertop epoxies and I will say this; they do not handle heat well. Nothing over 125 F or you will end up with marks, distortions, swelling, etc. They are great for scratches if cured at the right temp, but they don't handle heat all that well. They are not equivalent to granite or other stone, for instance.

[@luv8dds903]

[@valhalla4791]

Hello there- regarding the initial primer: is it acrylic paint primer or are you just using resin and calling it a "primer coating" because its the first pour to seal everything up in a thin layer. Thank you for the video-nice work

[@LeggariProducts]

Our primer is a water based epoxy specifically designed to chemically bond to almost all smooth surfaces. Thanks

[@nancyokeke7561]

I was wondering if you guys could post a Vid of doing the counter top, but to INCLUDE THE BACK SPLASH???

[@LeggariProducts]

This is a great idea Nancy, we will definitely take this into consideration!

[@Shanehuff1971]

Can a back splash be coated? Wouldn’t it drain off?

[@dlaney03]

Michael Huffstetler if they can do the edge of the counter, they should be able to use same system for the backsplash

[@777cygnus]

😎👍use crushed glass or glitter

[@lulakidd29]

Could this be done with white base?

[@thegazman53]

So what effect would you get if you sprayed into the air, above the counter top? I was thinking that some of the spray would drift down onto the top. Have you tried that method? Also - I see you use a high gloss urethane top coat - if you used a Matt finish - wouldn’t you get a better look at the finished design (I.e., no reflected glare, just looking straight at the design). Love your work. Cheers, Gary

[@LeggariProducts]

Yes there are endless techniques you can use, we do offer a matt finish as well. Thanks

[@AnnieO100]

Wouldn't a trowel work better for spreading the epoxy? Great video!!

[@LeggariProducts]

When you blend the epoxy you want to use a roller. Thanks

Any concerns with the snow white yellowing or chalking over time? White epoxy scares me a bit but I love the look. I know your product is different than traditional epoxy but want to check.

[@LeggariProducts]

Yes it can that is why we do not send out the snow white only the pearl white metallics. Thanks

[@bushbosh]

What is the WB urethane top coat and why did you use it? Can i use this epoxy for a wall art or you have special epoxy different than the counter top epoxy? Does chemicals ruin it? Like aceton or perfume of detergent?

[@LeggariProducts]

Yes you can use it for wall art, you just need to apply the epoxy horizontally first. If you spill chemicals on it you just need to wipe it up, it will not harm the epoxy. Our WB Urethane comes in high gloss and leaves a minor texture and we also have a WB Urethane that’s a Matte/Satin finish.

[@jwlsilverback]

What about counters with bull nose? What to look out for or am I over thinking it?

[@LeggariProducts]

John Lea No problem. The material will coat it just like a normal edge.

[@katesummers7336]

Can i seal plaster board then epoxy resin it

[@SassyTracey]

Is there any toxicity after the countertop is dry to food? Can you prepare food on it? They are beautiful!

[@LeggariProducts]

This product is very low VOC and really doesn't even smell when applying. Epoxy is extremely food safe. It's a go-to product for commercial kitchen applications. It has more of a sealed surface than marble, granite, & quartz countertops which means it’s much harder for bacteria to grow on it as bacteria likes to grow in the small holes of natural stone. Thank you Tracey!

[@TheDaddynate]

What about the poly that you put over it? Is that food safe or is it better to go with the clear epoxy as a finish for kitchen top uses?

[@abbo3272]

Nice work, you could use tooth brush to flick gold &silver, onto the sides

[@benr7786]

Do you let the first coat of epoxy dry before you pour the colours?, or is it wet in wet?

[@LeggariProducts]

Once you apply the base coat of epoxy you immediately do the highlights. Thanks

[@donnakorich1731]

Do you prime it and then put on a base coat or is the base coat your primer? I don't see anywhere on your website to order primer, just base, highlights and topcoat. Also if you want to add paint color any specific type of spray paint do you need? do you add it to denatured alcohol to get the diffused look?

[@LeggariProducts]

We send out all kits with primer. The first coat is the primer then the base coat is the epoxy fallowed by the epoxy highlights.

[@sherylldupuis4330]

[@Robwho58]

Seams to me that you would get the same effect with the paint in the iso instead of spraying it your glove and then flicking it? What say you?

[@TilemanSD]

Can your product be used outdoors? I want to do a backyard bar b que and have heard that UV light turns epoxy yellow? Is that true?

[@LeggariProducts]

Can epoxy be used outdoors?Yes it can, but we recommend only on counter tops and we recommend you use medium to darker colors so when it ambers over time you won’t see it. Most buildings have good windows that block out the majority of UV rays from reaching the indoors that’s why color combinations and floors aren’t as affected inside. Thanks

[@StompMom5]

So if you don't spray paint, you don't need top coat right?? If you just put the pigment in the epoxy and do the alcohol spray for they cool effect you're done?? I need to know this, I'm doing mine in couple week👌😊. This looks fabulous by the way🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@benrobledo9979]

Can you specify how long for drying time between steps? Are you using water based products ?

[@LeggariProducts]

Once the primer is applied you have to wait 4-5 hours, after that the next steps are right after the other. It’s a one day process though simply because of the waiting for the primer to set up. Yes, the primer and top coat are water based.

[@Paul_n_Texas]

After the final poly it appeared to have a rough final finish. Was this an optical illusion or something else?

[@LeggariProducts]

It has a smooth finish, there's a lot of depth & layers to this countertop especially with the added spray paint, that could have been why!

[@shawnamcdonald3549]

I was just about to say this too, it seemed to have a heavy orange peel finish under the light.

[@shaggydrill89]

Yes it looks bad. The flood coat epoxy is way better

[@stevenhartman414]

Looks awesome. Does the epoxy scratch easily? How about putting hot ideas on it? I really like the look

[@LeggariProducts]

Epoxy in general can be susceptible to scratches that is why we recommend the urethane top coat which is four times harder than the epoxy and makes the surface more durable. Fire and heat test kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmrInaimapaBbLc

[@RealLifeDollhouseMiniatures]

Pellet Grill Enthusiasts A 'mm' is a different measurement from a 'mil'. Mil is used to measure liquid coatings and paper thickness. A standard drivers license is a tiny bit over 10 mil so this countertops coating is about as thick as 3 drivers licenses stacked together.
