Epoxy Tips I wish I knew as a Beginner 🔴 Save Time & Money | Stone Coat Epoxy

[@michelleshawgo6217]

I liked it a lot before the fractures/veins were added. I like fractures/veins, as they make it look more authentic, but to me, there were too many added. But I'm new to this process, so I could be off base. I think you guys do beautiful work, and would LOVE to have your countertops in my new kitchen! That's a whole big story there. Anywho, keep up the awesomeness!

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Great feedback

[@robertazacharias7766]

Too many fractures! Love the rest a few fractures would have made everything pop.

[@johnnyrivera3224]

I agree 100% with you!

[@l.c.genetics4498]

Agree, to many veins. I own my own countertop and tub refinishing business. Over 17 years of experience, to me it just looks over done. Love your videos you guys are awesome. I will be adding this to my business soon.

[@PennsylvaniaPrepper]

I totally agree, too many, too wide, and too straight/geometric. It really doesn't look good.

[@vcmay626]

I'm glad everybody had funn but I liked it better before the fracturing. Love the colors and the shine.

[@christophercolvin5353]

We ❤ it, without the fractures. It was just beautiful work.

[@gunsnsails]

I wasn't a big fan of the fractures. But that's what makes epoxy so versatile. You can do what YOU want to do! I can't wait to do my own in the near future. Absolutely stunning job in a beautiful hut in a badass jungle!!!

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Endless possibilities! Thank you kindly my friend, we can not wait to see what you create🙌

[@cheryltaylor107]

That came out, bad ass! With all those groceries on the vines you never have to leave home, YUM!

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

you are right on!

[@mitchquist]

I loved the wild colors on this one, it looks so pretty and matches the tree house theme, thanks for the great comment!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

That was so much fun. Thank you for letting us be a part of this project. You rock Mike!!!

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

You did amazing!

[@mitchquist]

The tops look so nice! Great work ATD!!!!!!!!!

[@amethystorgan4293]

I love the veining Artist till death put on it, so natural! ,. Sick awesome colors for the epoxy.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

I agree

[@mitchquist]

Same here! Jeff has amazing skills, I don't know if my painted veines would have turned out as pretty!

[@susantompkins8810]

Colors are stunning, it would be nice to have a kit for this same recipe!

[@mitchquist]

Great suggestion

[@559HDGwenchy]

At first I thought the veins were way too thick and shouldn't have been added until I looked up rainforest granite and saw that what you did was spot on. You're opening up my creative eye to the possibilities of what's possible should I ever begin working with epoxy. I really enjoy your videos.

[@benitaguinn1636]

This was absolutely gorgeous and the island grounds are amazing with all the beautiful fruit trees. At first I thought it was too much with the fractures/veins, however I googled Rainforest Granite and OMG there are a lot of fractures/veins so it looks like to me you guys nailed this one.

[@danac1237]

Looks BEAUTIFUL! My opinion: I would have not added the cracks. They take away from the overall kick-ass-ness. Too straight, too wide, too many.

[@LorrayneHam]

You and Katherine are living the dream…!!!!

[@melissaciswhoibe9183]

I love all the colors! And I love all the fractures! Beautiful! Beautiful! 🥰 I love, love avocados 🥑, coconuts 🥥 and mangoes 🥭 but no papayas thank you! Your home is beautiful! What a paradise! So blessed! 😊

[@jamesbailey7785]

It is obvious that you love what you're doing!! I thank you for putting all the how too's for the many that will give it a try. Best; Tom

[@tarak9412]

I really like the pour, how amazing it turned out. If I were to do it for my own, I would probably add a few thin fracture lines, but far less than you have here.

[@stevenlindsey2056]

I think he did it for demonstration purposes.

[@kathyjohnson6839]

Absolutely gorgeous. What a team. All of y'all are my favorites. ATD was my first channel I ever watched. Taught me much. The they showed me you and RK3. Now I do lots of work custom for counter tops furniture etc. For my customers. Love playing and learning from you all. What a rocking group of people. Thank you for beautiful products and great resin 💓

No vote on the fractures. They are too straight.

[@robertcatalogna4700]

You guys are awesome, my wife and I were going to replace our Corian countertops with quartz and tile our shower. Now that we have found stone coat we are going to save thousands and have more fun.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Awesome! please send pictures. What colors are you using?

[@mitchquist]

You will save thousands!!!! Stone Coat Epoxy goes right over Corian with a tenacious bond, let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to help you get your project started 👍

[@johnpeal8925]

This is my second favorite counter top look that you have done.

[@amethystorgan4293]

Oooo you could put another layer on it and build up the layers and shades.. Softening up the lines and add more . 👍 Such gorgeous colors.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

I might do that

[@RosaHernandez-ru2jf]

Thank you so much for your feedback! Have you had a chance to use Stone Coat for a project? You Got This💪

[@Peace_from_within]

I’m afraid this gorgeous location over shadowed these beautiful countertops!! What paradise is this amazing cabin in?

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Looks like Hawaii

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

At first I was going to say that I didn't like the fatter veins and there were way too many, but then I looked up rainforest granite...and you all NAILED IT!! Beautifully done! I really like how you hand painted some of the lines. I'm going to incorporate this into my art pieces. Thank you

[@Adee-at-Rainier]

Same! I had actually never heard of rainforest granite. Looking it up, I see that you guys have done a spectacular job. And the colors are so great!

[@susanshaver912]

Excellent prep job Love the drip gutters, big improvement and it allows the applicator to portray as a polished professional

[@rhondakennedy819]

Beautiful. I like the thin painted veins. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@nicolesy]

My boyfriend and I are finally starting to play with your epoxy products, thanks to your videos! I was wondering … how do you clean the “chop” brushes after using them?

[@evelynwarner517]

The nice thing about this countertop is in a while if your vision changes you can tape sand and make it new again. Muttering is a real thing right? That counter track .. Love the mineral spirits tip too. Getting to be with some of your best buds. Priceless.

[@StarkeyatRingo]

I'm doing this. Just got our cabin in Alaska dried in - this is going to be awesome!!!

[@aviscolvin349]

I love this soooo much. I have an old store building I am rehabbing myself. Im going to do this for the counter I am going to build. I sooo thank you all so much. Love it and its beautiful.

[@kdogbigdog]

Like it better without the fractures. Hoping to do something very similar to a monster desk I got from a bank that is remodeling.

[@MikeQuist-]

Sounds like a cool project 😎

[@mitchquist]

I agree with Mike, sounds like an epic project! Let me know if you have any questions

[@kdogbigdog]

@@mitchquist you want to come to Texas to help? This is a first for me....so either it comes out great, or the wife throws me out for making an epoxy mess.

[@karenboggs4941]

That's gorgeous. I love the colors, like bringing the outdoors inside.

[@lovelyjade3149]

I was just zoned in listening to the coquis and watching the pour ❤

[@shellyroke]

I'm watching this in Aug 2023, and the most amazing thing I picked up was adding thin veins with a brush after the epoxy is set. I'm seeing that as a great fine tuning step!

[@thalinororcbreaker2840]

That is stunning. I like the way it turned out. At first I thought the veins were going to be too much, but they turned out amazing.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Thanks so much 😊 Lets know what you would like to see next. You Got This!

[@traviscampbell2388]

Looks a lot like the real thing, and looked like a lot of fun too with your good friends helping out.

[@allswildmmi6228]

The difference between a good job and a great job is the attention to details. Cool thing about granite is that no two pieces are alike. Similar, but not exactly alike. This is great. Nice job folks

[@pandapanda8354]

After watching this video, I’ve learned that a palette of a billion shades of the same color family plus a few contrasting colors makes an extremely authentic stone look. The mass produced countertop kits at the big box store have maybe 3 colors in one kit. I’ve seen the results at two friends’ houses. It does NOT look like stone or marble. It looks like paint. The countertop y’all created in this video looks so vivid, so authentic, and so natural. Adding so many colors to the pour gives so many layers. This is what separates a custom product from a mass produced kit. I hope to recreate this effect in white, copper, beige, tan, and cream with hints of pink, yellow, and terra-cotta. I’ve known I wanted stone coat brand for a while, but I could not decide on a color.

[@angelaw5754]

Absoluteky stunning! These colours are my absolute favorites. I've only just started to watch and follow your work. I really love what I've watched so far, and you've inspired me to give this a go. I'm in Scotland and unsure which products to use, do you sell yours over here? The guttering is a great addition too, very clever. I have a dream granite counter top that I would love in my kitchen, Labradorite. Have you done a pour that looks like this? I'm off to watch more of your videos. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work and techniques. 😊

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

Would this product work on OSB plywood? I have a couple pieces leftover from a job and would like to order a smaller batch to practice with before trying an actual countertop

[@gingergap]

Yo creo que están bien las fracturas que han hecho pero yo hubiera hecho algunas menos, para mi es recargado. Pero igualmente es un trabajo increíble. Soy vuestra nueva subscriptora... me encanta!😍

[@YourOpinionMatta]

Hi, great energetic crew and awesome pieces. So I plan to build a media wall with TV and fireplace, instead of using tile/marbles can this done on plywood sheet and glued on the Drywall?

[@gospelfxoriginal]

I might have missed it, but if the colored epoxy is poured over it, what is the purpose of spray painting the plywood beforehand w the various colors?

[@deanmurphy9611]

I looked up the rainforest granite and you guys nailed it great work.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Thank you!

[@loveoneanother881]

I've been obsessing about doing this to my laminate countertops for years. Originally, there wasn't a good way to do the front edges. I'm so excited that you've nailed the process. I want to finish the raw edges for the sink to make it an undermount. Have you demonstrated this application in a how-to vid? I love your product and gorgeous applications. Thank you 💗 p.s. Where is your fabulous home?

[@CannonBall31058]

Too many fractures for me. Also, an idea for fracturing would be to overlap your fracture papers and cut a swiggly line and then when you spray paint lines they wouldn't just be straight lines. Great Job guys! StoneCoat 4/ever

I love that it never ends up in any way that you would expect. It is always beautiful.

[@jl5442]

I watched the video of epoxy on concrete floor first, and it discussed how using the torch and/or alcohol helps remove air bubbles. As I'm watching this video, if I hadn't seen the other one first I would have thought the torch was to help the curing process. This seems like an extremely important and helpful tip. So as someone new to your videos, this tip/explanation would be helpful to verbalize in more videos in case a person didn't see the other ones. Just a thought :) I'm loving these projects so far!

[@rob379lqz]

Thank-you. Very impressive. 1. In low humidity environments, consider adding more drop-sheet and taping. Ie. Lay/hang plastic drop shert over TV screen, and more of the windows. Reason is: very small specks of airborne spraypaint can adhere to unintended surfaces. 2. What your thoughts on using the pistol-grip triggers on your spraypaints? Is there enough precision, or is the index finger better? One other option is using your thumb, as it is less fatigued than index finger. With Nitrile or Latex glove, and thumb on top of the nosel, wrap a few rounds of masking tape around your hand to assist in a un-fatigued and more relaxed-hand hold. The disadvantage is that until you find the best position for your wrist/arm, it will feel a bit awkward. 3. This is purely a subjective comment (and I understand that there were several people involved): I merely see a bit of over-processing in quantity of cracks/cuts/fissures/imperfections. I do understand this was a tutorial, yet may I respectfully mention that “more is not always better”. Thank-you again, and impressive collaboration.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Great tips, I've tried the pistol grips but found they are slower for me.
