I Tried An EPOXY Countertop Marble Kit On Furniture // Glam Desk Makeover

[@heweyangel]

Idk why but everytime I see someone start the veining process I get worried but somehow it always turns out amazing. Great job!!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

🤣 It can be stressful. You can't want to control it and it always turns out. It is magic.

[@tinamcelyea5972]

Your work is the closest I've seen to the real marble. I have two antique pieces of furniture and it is better looking than them. I like the less grey like you did.

[@heidisettles5537]

This turned out so much prettier than other faux marble finishes I've seen, although I was stressed watching this, following detailed directions is critical. I groaned with you when the surface dried too quickly, and then the paint peeled off!! New paint color is lovely! It seems like it would be pretty expensive for resale flips in terms of cost and time, but for this application, it was worth it!

[@reniehandler2595]

What a beautiful desk for your daughter!!! The marble top is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I'm sure she LOVES it!!!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

She does! Thanks for watching.

[@KatesThings]

I love how you show even experienced people can make mistakes but also how to resolve them.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

100%. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@noraconnelly2584]

GORGEOUS! I've got the itch to try it & need to find the nerve to cover my kitchen countertops! 🤯😂👍

[@classicchrissy777]

Did you do it 🫡

[@cathismith4497]

I love how you are so transparent with your flaws. We all have them and I am SO glad I am not the only one. When you poured your paint I started to laugh because that is ME! Your work is beautiful and inspiring. Keep it up.

[@siptoolsnlife]

This is making me believe that I actually can fulfill this DIY on my bucket list!

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Wow! This looks amazing! I do like that you share when your plan has to be adjusted. This is where learning comes in and allows all of us to benefit. Love this updated shade of pink for your daughter and of course, the marbling is stunning!!

Holy moly!! That is beautifully done! Lucky daughter. ❤

[@cookiepfeffer8196]

Use Stone Coat Epoxy. Your open time is way longer and you can use the heat gun tot warm it up and get bubbles out. The dresser turned out so Cute! thank you for sharing❣

[@lauram1208]

You can also use their Ultimate Top Coat (UTC) and if you choose matte your surface is ready to use in 24 hours, it is nearly indestructible. I used it on my countertop and walked on it a few days later with no ill effects. (I needed to clean the top of the cabinets.)

[@lillieberger2883]

@@lauram1208I’ve purchased their black granite kit to redo my bathroom counter. Fingers crossed. I’ve never done this before.

[@bibliCALMEDitationmorningmeds]

That’s so beautiful. I love it. So encouraging. I’m a total novice trying to update my very old home. Thanks this is helpful.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

You can do it!

[@mdorn6592]

Beautiful update! I used a clear epoxy over a wood burned and painted coffee table top and I couldn't have been happier with the results. It's tough as nails and will protect the art table top for many years

[@funo6581]

It turned out beautiful! I love the dusty pink you chose. I started playing with epoxy a few years ago. It’s a really fun medium to work with. My hubby and I did the table tops of our nightstands. They were stained mahogany so, we went with copper, antique bronze and rose gold, with splashes of burgundy and a touch of gold alcohol inks. We used Stone Coat epoxy because it’s really durable and has a very high heat resistance, almost 500F once it’s fully cured. A lot of wood turners use Total Boat, it looks like a great product too. We applied 4 coats to give it depth and we were very happy with the results. Mixing the epoxy really well and being aware of the working time are probably the most important aspects. Temperature and humidity can also effect curing times. There are a lot of great ‘how to’ videos on KZbin, yours is definitely one of them.😊 Nice job!

[@luvsiberians8006]

Beautiful! Thank you, also, for showing your mistakes and how you fixed them!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Any time!

[@lauram1208]

Beautiful transformation. When pouring epoxy it is always a good idea to do a sample board first. I poured my kitchen counter recently and before I did I poured two sample boards so that I knew what the open time was as well as how the various elements would work together. I also used Stone Coat and liquid tints. Stone Coat has a 45-minute open time which makes it easier to work with and liquid tints give you more control. I tried mica powder and poured too much when doing a sample board, and although I thought I'd mixed it well I had mountains when it dried.

[@PiperforJesus]

The gold goes nice with this pink color, which is great. Plus the top ❤

[@valeriekane615]

just beautifully done, and I have to say that because for me watching it was so intense ! I was very nervous for you but you carried on producing a magnificent piece. Thank you very much. Valerie

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deetalbott]

That came out so beautiful ❤ definitely need patience, but the end result was worth it!

Amazing work ❤❤. Your daughter is so lucky to have you as her mom 🎉

[@pattyyung]

Thank you. My husband is doing our bathroom counter tops with wood and clear epoxy and even though you marbled you had some good tips for us.

Perfect! Sounds like a fun project!

I love how the desk turned out. I’m interested to know if that could be used on a tile countertop to get rid of the grout lines.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I'm not sure, but reach out to TotalBoat customer service to see!

[@allyg47]

This looks amazing! I was thinking about doing something like this for my desk. The top is painted white but it's all scratched up. I put a clear coat on it when I painted it a few years ago but it didn't seem to help. I think epoxy would be too messy as I don't have a place big enough to do it so I think I'm going to try that marble contact paper that I've seen other KZbinrs try. If it doesn't work, I can always try epoxy later. Hopefully my desk will come out looking as good as your daughter's desk.

[@destindeplorable]

I absolutely love the makeover! I’ve thought about doing epoxy to my kitchen countertops as a semi-permanent solution until I tackle my complete kitchen renovation. Currently there’s granite tile as a countertop & it drives me crazy but I can’t justify the cost of new countertops twice! Not sure how epoxy stands up in a busy kitchen with 3 teens so until I do more research I’m still looking at reasonable solutions 😅 Question… what heat gun did you use??? Thanks!!!

@@ChristinaMuscari ohh, thank you so much for your encouragement ❤️I might try once I flipped some more furniture and feel more confident…😁

[@nicolelela7423]

What was the approx cost just for the epoxy top? It definitely looks like a marble top. Also wondering how is it wearing. I have a bar it’s beautiful but looking for an actual marble piece. It has a tile top not loving it. Thought a piece of marble would look prettier. It’s a black shabby chic type of bar pottery barn style.

[@melanieharris9221]

[@bfranklin1052]

This is stunning, but wow what a messy process! Hope your daughter is duly grateful! I've always been a fan of Simple Green and was happy they have a lemon scent now, but I looked it up on the EWG site and was shocked to see all their products were rated F! Not sure why they pass the EPA Safer Choice. Wonder what that really means.

[@Dingle1234]

QUESTION: In your opinion, could this hold up to bathroom use (vanity)?

It should because it is completely waterproof after it cures. If you do the marble, I would finish it off with a clear coat of epoxy. You can message customer service at TotalBoat for help, too!

[@C1975-t7p]

That looks amazing but are there instructions in the kit if you don’t have a heat gun? Getting the air bubbles out seems critical but couldn’t figure out how you would do it without the heat gun…

[@ChristinaMuscari]

The marble kit I linked comes with a heat gun. You only need a basic one.

[@LaLadybug2011]

What's the temp in your workspace? I'm thinking heat was working against you.
