[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Bro, you did really good. Thanks so much for testing out our products. I really appreciate that. Do you mind if I use parts of this video on our channel to refer folks to come watch you? I have been a fan of your work for a long time. Your real as hell and I love it. I would love to build something with you!

[@lyzablaisdell3925]

I smashed my head on the like button- for FOX’ sake, DOOOOITTTTTTTTTT😆🤯

[@motostuna956]

That would be friggin amazing if y'all did sonething together.

[@rgking03ify]

That’s a PRO TIP!! 😂

[@warpigs4874]

Do it! Do it! Do it!

[@brianscott3021]

Two of my favorite channels

[@lukecage5932]

Looks awesome. I’d love to see an update in a few months about its durability. Countertops get so much abuse that I always wondered how these would hold up over time.

[@AKStovall]

Epoxy countertops are super durable. I did my coutertops with Leggari about 5 years ago, and they're still going strong, still as gorgous as the day I installed them.

[@hinddee]

I did mine with stone coat three years ago and still holding up great.

[@tripives1858]

I've used StoneCoat for years. Love it! Zero VOCs, long pot life, great working medium.

[@jackgrimble9418]

Yes. Pour it on the house countertops, but maybe with another color or swap the pigments, make it black with white streaks.

[@TallDad610]

Would love to see you try it on a larger scale like your kitchen to see if it adds any challenges or if it is just as easy.

[@loveletterhive]

YES! Please redo the countertops. I loved the whole series of you guys redoing your kitchen but it felt unfinished because of the countertops. I love Stone Coat and really want to redo the counters in my kitchen but I'm not quite there yet. Please let me live vicariously through you. 😂💙

[@Drokkers]

I've used SCC for about 3 years now and they have a ton of helpful videos. Their ultimate top coat (matte, or gloss) is some super durable stuff that won't scratch, mar, fade, etc.. I highly recommend that if you do anymore countertops in the shop. Hell, even at home. The piece you did there looks great nice work.

[@niptey7237]

Big YES to the kitchen! Any excuse to see more home renovations

[@KurtMGibbs]

I'm all for doing your kitchen countertops with this product.

[@Lori_M]

Yes, definitely re-do your kitchen countertops!!!!

[@tomshepard4411]

Love stone coat, love John Malecki! I have used the stone coat on several projects for home and office. Can't say enough of about how both channels have motivated and inspired me to do more projects. of course the desk I use daily is coated in stone coat epoxy and inspired by some of John's work.

[@Xander-dx6mw]

Extra points for using the original cover for Blink 182. The second and third release had a nurse with a white hat, as opposed to using "the red cross",which defies the Geneva convention.🤘

[@gidgemo1869]

I’m about to do a full kitchen renovation and am pretty much convinced Stone Coat is my best option for countertops. So glad to watch The John Malecki tried it out first!

[@danrogers9945]

Uou just scratched a tiny surface of whats possible with stone coat epoxy! Ive done a ton of tops & people love it! The color and techniques are literally endless! Looks good!

[@jimmysilviotti9098]

I used this on bathroom countertops…I went simple quarts looks. Came out awesome

[@bbonilla0886]

How has it held up with the steam and stuff? And did you also use MDF?

[@gregdietz3590]

To add an even more authentic stone look, try roughly adding Bondo to the edges and then sanding down the high points. It gives it a "chiseled stone" look on the edges. Very nice!

[@wholewheat1]

Nice tip!

[@Victriol]

I have used the stuff for years. Made a desk top for my kid, made a couple tv trays and if I can do it, anyone can. Its fun to play with and all the differing colors, there is a lot you can do with it.

[@someguyfrommd]

Definitely looks awesome. Do it at the house

[@gavengrace9396]

I say do it to the kitchen with Sam of course. Lol It looks freaking awesome!

[@jacobcline4536]

I think it's the ultimate topcoat product that gives it the matte look. Plus it is super super durable.

[@ryanstubbs7079]

Never clicked on a video faster 😂❤️🍻

[@jeremeybyers6116]

I’ve used that product in a few different kitchens, and my clients have loved it. I especially like that odd shapes can be made without seems.

[@TailEndCustoms]

You got this! Oh wrong channel. 😜

[@SnorrioK]

When calculating volume, 1mm thick pour for a square meter is 1 liter of epoxy. Which translate roughly to 0.04 inches thickness to about 9 square feet is about a quarter gallon or so. An inch thickness would therefore be 25 times that or about 6 gallons.

[@russbrandt6279]

Both tops look awesome, always in for more home reno videos. Have been waiting to do something like this for the laundry room counter... a lot cheaper than stone. Love the channel and what you guys are doing

[@nathanpegram2312]

Thank you for testing this product. I’m renovating our new house with this stuff so I’m so glad to see someone I trust use it and say they like it. Great video

[@hannacroixhammer7258]

Gotta love the Johnny bravo reference, new floor goofin

[@pjax03]

Yes to trying it in Johns kitchen.

[@wholewheat1]

That is freaking cool. Probably going this route for my bathroom counters instead of doing a concrete top. Keeps weight and cost down and looks just as good

[@corytellier1830]

You guys should also look into leggari epoxy as well for counter tops and floors. I haven’t used them but have watched lots of videos on them and stone coat and from the videos leggari seems easier. But both have awesome results

[@SNUFFY1989]

Love the Blink 182 album

[@samreiz5774]

Woodpecker square for a circular saw guide. That is the classiest cut I’ve seen in awhile.

[@tbagnurmom]

House countertop are a must to complete the kitchen

[@fuuswag9835]

A tip when using cheap brushes, run some super glue on the base of the brush, that will eliminate any hairs/fibres falling off, i use this method for doing carbon fibre as i too use brushes once and throw away

[@haroldh9798]

Thanks for doing this. I have watched a gillion of their vids and was scared to try. Gotta go for it, now that you proved it out.

[@billmclaughlin8438]

Yes! Do your kitchen counters.

[@WandereringFamily123]

I have to say, I am not sponsored by or connected to Stone Coat but when we bought a house and it had those hideous pink laminate countertops, as a temporary solution for a year or so, I did a Stone Coat finish over the top and it turned out great! I'm not sure it would be what I would do as a long-term kitchen, but for 18 months we had it on our countertops and it was MUCH better than what was there originally and only cost like $120 for the whole countertop. We did the black one with the white marble spray effect. Looked great (though it did lose the luster of its original sheen and turn more matte over time).

[@treggmichelleliebler399]

I've worked with epoxy for 4 years. Played with other epoxies that were less expensive...never again! Nothing but trouble with the off brands. From fish eyes, divets and disgusting oders to severe allergic reactions that still affect me over a year later. SCC is the best and worth the extra money. I've never had any issues with it and highly recommend recovering your countertops with it.

[@frankgulla8507]

Stone coat is a phenomenal product, we redid our countertops and we love them!

[@justinbanks2380]

Love the Blink cover pop up as John puts on gloves

[@chrisnash2154]

Stoked to see you guys using Stonecoat. I have been a fan of theirs and used their products for years. I’m confident you will love it for a long time.

[@jefferyholland]

I did my kitchen tops with this product and we couldn't be happier.

[@marian5316]

Really like it at 7:38. After sand it, is more blurry and less details.

[@maddogshwa]

That came out really nicely. I think about this process whenever I walk by a worn out coffee table or something. I picture doing this to the top.

[@dalegrover7633]

A tip that a painter told me years ago, no matter the quality of a brush, when new always wash it before the first use & then let it dry, that gets rid of all the loose bristles.

[@Pape-qd4ft]

I love stone coat have used it a bunch comes out great even when you mess up. You can do counters, showers, floors, river tables and the art projects. Love there product.

[@danielevans6578]

You should totally build Matt on Demoranch a badass table for his new underground bunker/gunsafe!!

[@maulitdipshooter]

Superglue the brush fibers near the handle. Something I learned from a fan of industry garage.

[@nemegl5]

Yes to doing the kitchen counter tops

[@MedicTwitch20]

Definitely give it a try with your kitchen counters

[@hinddee]

Did my counter tops with this. Used spray paint with it and some flake. Been three years now and still looks like I did when I did it. Holds up great.

[@westboyer9931]

I'm slightly more partial to Legarri. But if it's not Legarri, I'm definitely going with Stone Coat. also, pro tip, tape your bottom edges separately, and then you don't have to sand them.

[@user-qg6fy4yp8t]

Beautiful!! You can frame theme like a picture- it's a work of art!!

[@williamgreen9663]

Yes , do your countertops. I've used automotive bondo on the edges to mimic a natural stone look and it looks great.

[@markmcgibbon7013]

That's impressive

[@ryanackerman5238]

You dont know how amped I got on my lunch break when I saw theirs a new video up!

[@flamedphoenix84]

Looks amazing, and if you do hate your countertop then you should do it.

[@RamonaBowman378]

I built my own kitchen and bathroom countertops (first time to ever do anything like that) and used Stonecoat epoxy. They have a roll on sealer that gives the matte finish you were aiming for, and would still be food safe if you were doing kitchen counters. Rubio, I suppose, is okay for a bathroom but would probably need reapplied periodically. I love Stonecoat epoxy and can't wait to do more projects.

[@TheHarvestGoddessChloe]

I love this and think you did an awesome job! For the next time, and especially if you do the kitchen counters again, I recommend investing in some quality PPE (as resin fumes are toxic, even in a well-ventilated environment) and making sure to support the MDF all the way across to avoid the bowing you had in that one.

[@carolgutierrez7961]

I'd like to see your countertops redone. But, definitely use the Ultimate Top Coat from Stone Coat Countertops. You should consider some of the videos from RK3 Designs on You Tube! Also, I'd love to see you and Mike do some projects together. I love both of your work!

[@nelsonalequin2036]

Stone Coat Countertops is the best I do a lot of projects with their products and is super awesome

[@MattTheDentman]

You should do it to your kitchen man. It came out bad ass. I’m definitely blown away by how it turned out.

[@kodasrestoration3415]

Do it!! Re do the kitchen counter tops!!

[@maddogshwa]

That would be a very nice countertop. DO IT!

[@stevenkofoed1698]

Yes, please do the kitchen counters!

[@cmm170526]

Totally need to redo the kitchen countertops!

[@jessekincheloe2719]

A collaboration video of you and Stone Coat Countertops would be awesome you should do it

[@andrewoconnor6805]

Awesome was thinking about doing one of stone coats kits as well.

[@Wishitwasadub]

Stone coat is great, I used it for my Walnut bar top it turned out beautifully, and their customer service was great when I had questions.

[@durkroberts7117]

LOOKS GREAT Keep on banging out the awesome content

[@dwarvensmith80]

DO IT AT HOME! Hell, that be a good one for stone coat to colab on with.

[@FJB2020]

Try reverse cast concrete countertops.. they are super simple to make and turn out better than any pour in or over products on the market.

[@MiscToddley]

Definitely, they also have a system for doing shower stalls.

[@demonoftheweb]

looks awesome and you should ask her if its a good idea to redo the counters not us because i would say most likely due to how many squirrels got left in there.

[@kenharman4858]

You should do your counters you hate plus look at stonecoat countertops play list for other finishes for matte, honed, or leathered looks

[@jonathoncollingham655]

That rocked so hard like the pents

[@TOTHEPOINT82]

Yes. Put it on your countertop

[@williambrewton6732]

for more scratch resistant top with a matte finish use the stone coat ultimate top coat

[@territ1231]

I painted my countertop and used a "sea sponge" to dap the dark color on.

[@taffythegreat1986]

I agree with the two of you, I’m impressed too 👍👍👍

[@joshuaquick5511]

Looks great. Do it in your house. My grandmother's is very similar pattern except hers is white with blue.

[@warpigs4874]

That is freaking awesome! Do your counter tops!

[@XRockstarFoxX]

Yes I think you should do your home counter tops with this stuff

[@jimblack6733]

Okay. Now to do yours at home! Nice looking top😎

[@phenoix75]

As soon as you said "Yinz", i was like "dude is from the 'burgh". Pittsburgh proud man.

[@jasonlewis3620]

Seen their videos and questioned if it truly was that cool and think I will try it after you did this! Also give it a shot on your kitchen counters! You don’t like them so you can’t ruin it only improve or help you make the decision to redo them!

[@cameronmelendrez8706]

do it!!! Full counter top revamp!

[@dennisbracci9212]

Awesome job. Been my favorite epoxy for years.

[@noleenlove4481]

Yes definitely do your kitchen

[@Michael-jh9if]

Definitely put this in your kitchen. 🤙🏼

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very cool project boys. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends keep making. Stay Squirrely. God bless.

[@kalikasurf]

Keep featherin it, brother!!!

[@Bloodsubzero]

i think it would look nice inside the kitchen.

[@jdrshortstuff]

You should absoulty do your kitchen countertops! They have a product called the ultimate top coat that you can get in gloss or matte that really takes a beating. I can't wait to do mine!

[@galogiha]

ever tried epoxy and sand? it's weird... but kinda cool.

[@eriksubbotin5284]

Yes, do it to the kitchen

[@jackslay8441]

yes

[@scorpio6587]

Yes. The kitchen countertops would benefit from the upgrade. No offense. IMO, keep it light, like the sample you just did. Going dark or busy may not work out well in a relatively small kitchen.

[@robstevens180]

A little bit late, I just recently found your channel, love your videos

[@SailingSeaMonster]

You and SCC need to collaborate on a project! They make a Matte/Natural UTC or Ultimate Top Coat.... it'll give you the "flat" look you want. Enhances durability
