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.

[@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.

[@susantompkins8810]

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

[@mitchquist]

Great suggestion

[@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!

Absolutely Beautiful I wish I had your talent

You are all crazy.....amazing result !!!!Thanks from Greece...

[@vcmay626]

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

[@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! 😊

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

[@PenelopePitstop069]

I love doing this. I had my family wanting me to do their showers, baths and got them involved. Grown up coloring fun!

[@abrahamgutierrez2168]

I love Puerto Rico Rain Forest Colors amazing work

[@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

[@deniseashford4566]

Absolutely stunning,!

[@larky3487]

LOVe IT! Yes, Please show how to make PVC look like bamboo trim.

[@allswildmmi6228]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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🙌

Love it! Would love to see something like these highlights Purple-ish colors (like amethyst). Thanks!!!

[@mitchquist]

Thanks Kami! Have you worked with epoxy before on a project?

[@kamsiahalli2336]

Fantastic. I wish i could do this too.

[@sierraden57]

I love the video!...for me, I'm much more interested in the process and techniques than the colors used although the finished product was perfect for the island vibe!

[@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.

[@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?

[@AlexisRodriguez-np6if]

You are a true artist 👩‍🎨 brother thanks for the content and all the knowledge ! Hope to one day meet you !

[@chargerandlightening]

Beautiful ❤️

[@josecastellano6253]

Love it 😀! If it was meant to look like stones, some of the lines probably should stop where the main lines crossed.

[@Michelle-oc4ty]

I loved this countertop!! I recently asked you about iridescent countertops, and you all referred me to the abolony video, but this is the one I needed. It would perfectly go with my kitchen that I'm in the middle of remodeling. Love it!!

[@rebeccaanderson2907]

Awesome colors, but your fracture lines are too defined. Only part of the entire pour that looks fake.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Thanks!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

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

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

You did amazing!

Hello Erica! ❤️

[@funnylikethat0415]

I love the colors but I didn’t like the fracture lines. Some of the interlinked lines don’t look natural.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Thanks again!

[@mitchquist]

thanks for taking the time to drop a comment, this really helps the video grow! We appreciate you🔥👍

[@harpoon_bakery162]

it's a rain forest with vines hanging down and things like that. It takes us away deep into a rain forest like in Brazil. It's really amazing if you allow yourself to imagine something like Avatar's deep jungle scenes.

[@AreLL]

Looks like Paua shell counter tops. Done here in New Zealand. Without the fractures which I think ward not needed.

[@hellbent4442]

OMG. That is Superb design work. I’m in love! Gorgeous countertops 😲😲😲🌴🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️🥑🥭❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💯💯

This will go perfectly with my planned color cabinets of turquoise. I would not vien it so much, basically because I would mess it up.

Thank you!

I miss doing epoxy in flip-flops!!!! We have snow on the ground here in Oregon!

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

I kinda miss the snow.....kinda.

[@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.

[@The_Mother_Thing]

This is UHHH-MAZING! Do you have a list of the colors/products used in this job?

[@jamesrobbins7197]

Would like to start a business doing this type of countertop work.

[@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

Question ..how is it with hot pots and pans ....can I place them directly onto the counter top?

[@SmallyZs]

hi, I would like to ask what the minimum thickness should be if I only pour the kitchen backplash from the epoxy?

[@razmatazmania1]

It was way better without the "fracture lines" The top was just beautiful..Thank you for the lessons on easy epoxy..

[@joycedelashmit1422]

The veins look like joints. Leave them off and it is beautiful!!!

Can you do cement floors like this?

[@denisejohnson6974]

What type of material is used when pouring a coffee table to keep it from sticking to the form?

[@sailornick7]

How do you decide whether to use a dye, powder, or spray paint to color your epoxy. I've seen you use all three.

[@ChefBurgos]

Looks amazing BUT I have to ask where u guys film this, I ask cuz in the background I hear singing frogs (coquis) only 2 places in the planet they can be naturally 1 the original place Puerto Rico 2 Hawaii cuz some Puertorrican migrate them there and Puerto Rico has lots of rain forests

[@pauljensen7518]

You spray painted the fracture, then just the ultimate topcoat? Wont the spray painted fractures not have enough protection? Only 1 thin coat of topcoat? Seems the top will have texture from the paint, therefore not very durable? thanks

[@jerryfish10]

Can this be done over tile counter tops?

[@garyhelms1889]

I seemed to have developed a problem of getting trash in my epoxy finish. Watching all those people around that pour I figured you guys would have the same problem. Be it hair, fibers of some sort, or just random bits of garbage that just float around the universe. The trash in my pours look tiny fabric fibers perhaps or specs that push the surface. Any suggestions????????

[@sherricapehart8147]

Beautiful but too many fractures for me. Love your videos!

[@glennjones604]

Looked great before the fracture veins, after you couldn't see the beauty of the piece as all you can see are the veins.

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

It would be amazing if Y'all could figure out how to hold the camera up over the countertop/piece of art, there's always a glare from the windows or overhead light. I liked it better before the veins, way too many or something.

[@themoos8]

what do you use exactly for making the "bubble" not sure to understand

[@chair9416]

Coqui frogs! Is the the big island of hawaii!!??

[@mjanechipser7640]

I absolutely loved the colors for the base and the design! But, I think, too much veining/fractures! This is the first time I've watched one of your KZbin videos! I'll be back!

Looks soooo sick!! But the real question is, how much ganja do I need to smoke to get this same look on my project!? ❤️💛💚😎

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.

I too liked it more before all the veins were added. BY NO MEANS am i saying my opinion or taste is correct. I just liked the less is more vein approach. Just a preference. Still, LIGHTS OUT. awesome

Do you ship to the UK?

[@hemi5365]

I like the pour and the colors, as well as the veins. I do not like the fractures you did using the 2 pieces of paper. Those are to straight an do not look natural. I think those fractures would have been better poured in flowing lines.
