I did this on my old laminate countertop and it turned out soooo beautifully. Has depth and complexity too. Thank you! Btw, I recommend using a hair net to prevent hair from falling in!

[@mlap7879]

How is it holding up after 3 months?

[@lynnmarble8456]

Have you had any issues with the epoxy yellowing?

[@amandawatson4326]

Thank you so much! I enjoyed your video. I am about to do this exact process and Im so nervous! You make it look easy. I hope it is!

[@allanpennington]

Ok so how on earth did you only end up with two spots of white paint on your fingers. How many clean black T Shirts did you go through whilst filming the application of the primer?

[@lynnmarble8456]

How does the epoxy hold-up against yellowing?

[@laurab1765]

The countertop and backsplash are the same formica, with a silver edge between them. Would I use the same technique on both? Would I tape off the silver edge? It's skinny, skinnier than the painters' tape.

Bonjour est ce que vous livrez en France merci

[@silverbaron5150]

Do you have to use the marbling? Or can i just use the white epoxy for a plain white look?

[@GianiGranite]

We have a White Glass kit that will give you a solid white look! It is a simple two-step kit with white primer and epoxy!

[@NoonaBooda]

Hello, can this work on an existing marble countertop including the wash basin? If so, can you share the instructions if different than this video, please?

[@GianiGranite]

[@Blackgirlspeak22019]

Hello, I want the exact kit that you are showing. However, I prefer my veins/marble effect to be black instead of gray. What do I do or purchase to create black veins?

[@GianiGranite]

[@joeram92]

Hello. I have a question. Can this product be used on an existing granite countertop? Thanks.

[@GianiGranite]

[@MrCos182]

Can you add two coats of epoxy for a stronger finish?

[@GianiGranite]

You can if you would like but it is not necessary! When applied correctly, one layer of our epoxy is extremely durable!

[@audreybailey1316]

Will the empty-ish cans spontaneously combust if left open on the floor overnight?

[@GianiGranite]

We provide proper disposal instructions with the kit to help our customers avoid any hazards!

[@lengchristian4039]

My old countertop has metal edgings,would the paint adhere to metal sidings too?

[@nkupras]

What if my countertops are flush with the top of the cabinetry? How can I stop the epoxy from running over the edge of the counters?

[@considerthebirds]

That sounds tough. I would use a lot of painters tape and tarps

[@fallguy4209]

You’re S.O.L. Lol

[@jonathanmolina3529]

Create a tape damn and cover everything well

[@josechicas5930]

Try to add a 1x2 on the edge

[@GianiGranite]

Unfortunately this will be tricky! We recommend securing tarps with as much tape as you can, leaving no gaps for the epoxy to get through. It can also be helpful to create dams as mentioned below!

[@julieanderson6828]

Can you do this on a textured formica counter that isn't smooth.

[@chrisganley1551]

Same question

[@GianiGranite]

Hello! You can apply the epoxy on a surface that has slight texture as long as you use enough product. If the epoxy is spread too thin, the texture will show through.

[@danielaf81]

Do you and the counter if it's granite

Will this work on my pink salmon laminate countertop?

[@GianiGranite]

Absolutely!

[@roguelily7957]

Will this adhere to a painted countertop?

[@GianiGranite]

It will! Just sand with #600 before prep work to promote adhesion.

[@kevinmartin8735]

Can I do this on a piece of MDF?

[@GianiGranite]

You can, just be sure to prime! We include detailed instructions on our website and in the kits!

[@lauriehayes5898]

Hi can this be used on a marble floor?

[@GianiGranite]

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend applying our kits on flooring!

[@TonyP-ft1tu]

I just did this kit on my countertops. My originals were a dark green color, so it took 4 coats of primer. Turned out nice. Only thing is, trying to keep lint/fuzzes/hairs out of the epoxy while it’s curing is IMPOSSIBLE. Only thing that sucks about this.

[@RichieMain]

I'm worried about dog hair!

[@TonyP-ft1tu]

@@RichieMain I have a charcoal lab, and honestly I didn’t get many dog hairs in it at all. Mostly just fuzzes and fibers from the air flow. It’s a bitch when it’s almost dried and you find some fuzzes or hairs that need pulled out 😫

[@RichieMain]

@@TonyP-ft1tu Thx for the reply Tony. Have a lab too but also. Bernese Mtn Dog and 2 cats. lol. Have been painting cabinets and pet hair has been a challenge. I do like this method though because epoxy is just the final step.

[@TonyP-ft1tu]

@@RichieMain no problem! It turned out great and has been holding up nicely. Decided to give it a try before we decide to fully replace our countertops in a few years.

[@GianiGranite]

@@TonyP-ft1tu @RichieMain I'm sorry to hear this! If you have some texture from debris, we have a buffing technique that can help. Please reach out to [e-mail]

[@justinlaframboise8594]

How much?

[@TheAwesomewonder]

Got mine on Amazon for $199

[@GianiGranite]

Our epoxy kits range from $114 - $199 on our website and Amazon!

[@libertygiveme1987]

You hardly have any Marble looking paint on there at all!!!! Did you not want that?!

[@GianiGranite]

We wanted to demonstrate a softer more natural marbling pattern. Unfortunately, it is harder to pick up on camera. You can check out our instagram for different marble applications and inspiration!

[@Azzajohara]

I wish you would have exaggerated the marble veining a bit more. I could hardly see it. Maybe consider an upcoming tutorial on how to make dimensional veins.
