Use Epoxy Dirty Pour Technique To Make Countertop Look Like Real Stone | DIY Counter Remodel Ideas

[@malloryjohnson6192]

This is my favorite epoxy video I have seen so far, the other drawn on veins just look like a cheap art project, but this looks like real marble

[@williamprezioso2742]

Best looking countertop I’ve seen after watching tons of them great job guys

[@munozinni]

I totally like the dispersed effect with the iso propyl that is how I like it 👀😳😊I was watching the video of 05/11/2023 and it recommend to watch this video next so I’m here supporting the channel watching the entire video and giving like and comment and sharing with friends and family Saludos!!!👋👋😃👋

[@dionline88]

This is beautiful! I sorta liked it before you sprayed it the first time but the cells are interesting. I'd be the one who would want a controlled spray with the Isopropyl alcohol in small areas. This might be a great option for us - hubby loves stone that leans brown and I love marble and stones that lean gray....

[@LeggariProducts]

Awesome thanks for your input!

[@T12i99iN]

I swear you guys make it look so easy..lol But results are beautiful. I like the less cell look for the counter top. But I do like the cells more on floors.

[@PennyePinckney]

Both effects are good but the dispersing effect really brings home the 'natural' look.

Is your epoxy and top coat UV resistant to prevent ambering/yellowing?

[@walkerscustomcountertops3144]

Kyle has got this down! Ive watched all your videos multiple times and this one ranks at the top. Those subtle veins can be tough to create sometimes and you guys nailed it! Really gorgeous result and this is the type of patterns/colors I get asked most for. I'd love to see more! Thanks for putting out these tutorials for us.

what do you do to an existing Formica counter top with hard 90 degree edge? I am sanding the Formica surface and priming it as you do. Do I lightly sand the edge to round it a bit or use a small router edge or remove the formica edge completely? i was told it should be rounded slightly so epoxy can flow over edge easier.

[@cheribarker1870]

It's beautiful

[@Paula-po9kx]

Beautiful, do you come back with a topcoat? Why if I don’t want it shiny, if I want a mat finish?

[@LeggariProducts]

Yes we always recommend one of are urethane topcoats. It comes in matte or gloss with or without out grit additive which gives a very slight sandpaper texture that helps with slip and scratch resistance, it also takes a bit of the shine off the gloss if you add the grit to the gloss!

The finished product is beautiful, but I wish you would have addressed the problem of staining with epoxy. Even leaving a coffee cup that leaves a ring stains permanently, not to mention wine. Do you have a resolution for that? Also, it's handy to line the bottom of the counter edges with packing tape and that way you don't have to wait and continually walk around scraping the bottom.

[@robinkelly2177]

What does the denatured alcohol do to the countertops? And is it necessary to use that?

[@LeggariProducts]

The first thing we spray is 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol. This creates cells in the design and disperses the epoxy. Once that evaporates, we spray denatured alcohol to pop any micro bubbles that might be in the epoxy from mixing. This allows us to avoid torching the epoxy and the risks associated with that.

Do u have to sand down ever before priming ?

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Do you have anything that i can apply to a late nineties cultured marble vanity top (with single sink) in my bathroom? It's that yellow-ish cultured marble that was popular back in the day. It's 55 inches wide (long) and 22 inches deep (wide) depending on how you look at it. It has a built in rear backsplash , and it has the optional left-side splash that is a separate piece. I have no idea which way to go on color but I'll probably do white-gray-ish pattern for some new VINYL Floor tile. So I'm looking for color ideas. The Vanity is the real maple wood (smooth) , so it's a very light stain brown color and very nice wood but I'll paint that whatever would go with the Top Epoxy coating color decision.

was thinking the same thing. I"m going to to a coffee table the same way but with gold veins.

[@ericonganga254]

Does your product yellow after a while,what do you use to prevent yellowing?

[@LeggariProducts]

Yes all epoxy ambers, but you only really notice it in white and clear, but paired with our urethane topcoat that are UV stable you have an added layer of protection!

[@josuerivera9749]

You don’t need to take the shine of sander before the primer??

[@er70ca72]

What about the tape on the back splash? How do you pull it so it doesn't screw up your epoxy or the back wall

[@LeggariProducts]

It's best to pull it before the resin is completely cured, that way no tape gets stuck in the hard resin against the wall. Also, we don't recommend a suuuper strong tape. Painter's tape does just fine👍

You can any to paint the material you are covering white before using epoxy. Even then, you can mix in the white metallic powder, white dye and pour your first coat in white epoxy. Then after that you can mix up a couple or few different colors and mix separately, when mixed, dump them into larger container together but don’t mix, spray some grey or black spray paint on top and start dumping..
