I swear I have been looking at videos left and right , but your attitude , personality and explanations are the best by far !! ❤ I’m so loving your videos , and we’re almost done building our rustic cabin home , and I want an epoxy river bar top , and possibly an epoxy bar top on the kitchen island ! I’m getting so excited , 😂🎉

[@Young_Star]

Do you have a clean up video? Which of the supplies are one and done vs cleaned up to re-use? I assume you clean off your paddle mixer and trowel then toss out the chop brush.

[@mitchquist]

Great idea, I'll make one up

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Here's a tool clean up video we made from a couple years ago, same rules still apply - kzbin.info/www/bejne/foSlg4x9i7aDZsk Great question we'll definitely make an updated one!

[@handydaddy6634]

I can't wait to get back playing with some epoxy. Hopefully this weekend I get some time. I just got my new mics and can't wait to try them out! In the meantime there's my Project Brutus knife display with backlight. I got this bug because of Stonecoat! Love you guys!

It was a tiktok live! Thanks for stopping by as always

[@heatherhorne3693]

I am installing a new wet bar and wanted to do my first stone coat project. What is the best wood or material to use? Or what would you recommend? Also love you guys work. I have been watching a lot and finally have a project to do.

[@user-xu1qy4og7q]

hi,fracture master Mitch, you the best.

[@michaelcunha7938]

Sempre top...

[@ShadowPoet174]

Couple of questions: Is it possible to convert an existing bevel edged island and square edged countertops into rounded/bullnose edges? Also, does your website offer swatch/sample kits? I'd like to do an epoxy patterned after sodalite on our existing formica countertops/island but hate the edges currently on both, and would like practice on creating the pattern.

[@ericfalloutguy8467]

Do you have to use a torch to remove air and bubbles or can you also use denatured alcohol?

[@institches2750]

I've seen you all pour epoxy over rigid foam for shower walls. Can the same foam be used for countertops? Or is it best to stick to wood products there?

[@neilgascoigne3384]

Hi Fellas, what base do you use for the kitchen tops, love yor videos. It is a pity we cant get some of these products in Australia.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

check out our friends Colour Obsession! They're in Australia - www.colourobsession.com.au/stone-coat-countertops The substrate is MDF and it has 2 coats of our black epoxy undercoat on it

[@barbaragill375]

Question: my kitchen counter has a seam in the laminate and water has lifted it. Do I need to level it before I start epoxy project?

[@davidlynch7666]

Can the ultimate top coat be sprayed on?

[@uh-64_silentkill37]

Hey, Mitch. What do you do if your Countertop has a corner joint cap? Would you remove this in the prep stage before doing the epoxy?

[@mitchquist]

Email me a pic of what you're talking about [e-mail] I'd be able to help better

[@The_San_Juan]

Hello, I’m about to get started on my counter top and I have all the supplies ready. I’m doing your White and Brass Marble dirty pour. A few days ago I called and asked how long I have to wait before I reinstall the sink after the clear coat. One of your reps told me I’d have to wait 4 days. Today I called with another question and asked again about wait period. I was told that after applying the clear coat I have to wait 7 days before reinstalling the sink? However, if instead of doing a clear coat on top of the color coat I do your Ultimate Top Coat, I only have to wait 24 hours after the UTC to reinstall the sink. I am a little frustrated to be honest. What is the best advice?

[@charliehiroko4100]

Hi , after you spread alcohol and the the torch ….. can’t be flammable?

[@lourenskruger751]

Hi mitch were can i buy this product am from south africa

[@tgrucker]

I'm from Hong Kong, the humidity is always 80% or higher all of the time.

[@ccmo9049]

Why can’t you spritz with isopropyl or denatured alcohol instead of using a torch?

[@onlyonebran]

Really miss Mike in the videos. He had a different level of excitement in the video. Just made the video more fun to watch.

[@andrealudd5023]

Can epoxy be done on glass? For example, a mural backsplash.

[@mitchquist]

Yes, Mike did a video on a glass coffee table. Ocean table on glass, search that on the channel

[@andrealudd5023]

@@mitchquist Thank you!

[@beaswingle9065]

Did you ever try a balloon with water in it?

[@sherylbolton5391]

Is it possible to pour epoxy resin over true granite stone?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

yes! it can be applied over any slick natural surface with the right prep steps. First clean with TSP, scuff with a diamond cup wheel grinder or at minimum 60 grit, apply bonding primer, then you're off to the races

[@TracyMaday]

@@StoneCoatCountertops I’m going to try this on my existing granite counter tops.. the bonding primer? Is it also a stone coat product? If not which is best? Thank you 😊

[@skyleranaya4869]

When can you reinstall your kitchen sink? Literally just finished laying the clear coat.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

are you applying the top coat too or are you wrapped up now? If you're done with epoxy steps you can go ahead and install it, if you're gonna top coat, wait until thats fully cured as well then install the sink. hope that helps!

[@The_San_Juan]

Interesting, one of your costumer service people told me that you have to wait 3-4 days after the clear coat. Then I called again and was told I have to wait 7 days before sitting the sink back in place. BUT, if I do the Ultimate Top Coat on top of the color coat -a and not do the clear coat- I can install the sink in 24 hours after that? So which one is it?

[@KristiSage]

17:58 lmao

[@jameslutaaya344]

Hi guys i would like to start doing EPOXY Work tps in my country Uganda

[@ST-cy6we]

Focus less on colors and more on basic process. My countertops have dried for 4 months. I was using a temp kitchen and it took that long to reassemble the new kitchen . I just put a cutting board on my brand new Stonecoat counter top and it left dents. I did some research and found it's called a "soft cure" because my room was not between 70 and 75 degrees. I've watched endless hours of SCC videos. Nowhere do they stress the specific temps that will allow proper curing. My countertops look beautiful, but I can't put anything on them.

[@1painter4hire]

That's interesting... I've heard about improper mixing ratios, but nothing about temps. Thank You 👍

[@1dariansdad]

So, after doing a couple of pieces, I now skip the chop step. It makes a mess and accomplishes nothing if your mixing and troweling are solid. Fact is, the heat will liquefy the epoxy and smooth all the "trowel lines". By skipping the chop, I get less air entrained in the product and a much shorter process.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

the reason why we dont like to skip chopping is because it's insurance of making sure it's completely mixed. mixed in the bucket, mixed on the surface with the trowel, and mix a final time with the chopping. you're correct though it definitely is a skippable step, but also by doing so you're ensuring you have no under mixed epoxy

[@1dariansdad]

@@StoneCoatCountertops I get it. But, I machine mix in the bucket for at least 4 minutes, scrape the sides and mix again for one minute. If it ain't mixed by then, it ain't getting mixed with a chop brush.

[@chrismcconnell6163]

Is Mike sick, is that why he hasn't been on here lately?

[@belindagalle97]

Mike retired.

[@emmilypalmer9269]

Just remember, alcohol is incredibly toxic to breathe too. Don’t forget to hold your breath then to!

I sprayed tons of it.. not really an issue.
