RK3 Designs is a learning studio focused on teaching how to create beautiful epoxy finishes using Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy. These tutorials include epoxy countertops for kitchens, bathrooms, and much more. This channel provides tutorials for DIYers, contractors, designers, or artists.
Rhonda Dracoulis Founder and Primary Instructor
RK3 Designs started as a way for Rhonda to showcase her creativity but has blossomed into a way to help others find theirs. Her obsession with painting led her to start refinishing furniture and kitchen cabinets. She found customers wanted a nicer option than laminate but more affordable and customizable than natural stone, which lead her to countertop epoxy! Since then, she’s helped thousands of students, from across the country (and even Canada eh?).
If you prefer a more hands-on learning experience, book a class with Rhonda today: www.RK3designs.com/book-online RK3 offers numerous classes that cater to different levels of experience.

[@candypickert7625]

Love it, I would like to see a little color of teal.

[@TigerMarine62]

This is one of the most realistic designs I've seen using epoxy! I would love to see this in a little darker recipe.

[@RK3Designs]

Exotic pours are so much fun and you can create the coolest pieces!!! Thanks for watching!! 😊😊

[@KandicePolut]

[@mattyb7607]

excellent work. looks real from here!.

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you so much!!! 😊😊

[@deloresalexander2965]

Beautiful, there are so many patterns that it's hard to choose great job I will try next month, not sure how much product to buy for a 8ft. By 12ft.

[@ravensdensteakhouseandtapr2121]

This is a gorgeous recipe

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you so much 😊

[@JW45174]

Can you add veins to the clear coat to add dimension/3D effect? Then top it with ultimate top coat.

[@JennieRosselloTV]

know anyone who does this in south florida? my lord this is amazing.

[@RK3Designs]

I do! Send me your email and I’ll send you some referrals [e-mail]

[@emilyjackman1139]

Which gold pigment was used in this design? I absolutely looooove the look! Beautiful technique, going to try it out!

[@waynemiller6070]

This one is GREAT. Very usable. Too many colors seems to limit the locations you can use it in. I've done a number of sample boards and a few counters, but I find (with rentals) simple is better. This recipe is perfect for my next countertop. It'll go perfect with the flooring that is already there.

[@RK3Designs]

Awesome!! I’m super glad you like it. I agree, sometimes less is best!!

[@tiffanyrodrigues-stanley9273]

Loved This! I would of appreciated a little more details on the color mixing initially.

[@sunktut]

Thanks for the great video! What would be the impact of doing exotic pours but with only ~4.6 oz per sq ft? My countertop is ~55 sq ft, so hoping to get away with 2 gallons = 256 ozs.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Beautiful creation!! I love the teasing!! Too cute! Do you get different reactions by using different types of white additives together? I have the squirrel queen in my family! She honestly is in mid serious conversation and suddenly says, "SQUIRREL!" Makes me laugh so much! She does squirrel counts while driving about town!

[@RK3Designs]

LOL That's funny!! Yes, adding different types of white will cause different reactions and looks. I love using all different types of additives.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@@RK3Designs Thank you!! ❤

[@vidaliasoleil2714]

I just poured half my kitchen yesterday. Now I have to go and redo it after seeing this! Hahahaha. You gotta stop making these videos.

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you…I think! 🤣🤣🤣

[@janachristensen6]

Hello ladies. I will make my counter top by your instructions, but when the exotic poor is done, can I still poor over just clear epoxy to make a thinner layer over ??? And how long I should wait ?? Thank you.

[@cabbking]

Very beautiful but I’ll never be able to do that.

[@shamaraboonemua121]

Ok, so I just ordered Totalboat table top epoxy and now after watching this I'm feeling doubtful. This is waaay more informative and nearly 5x's the working time. TB has a 30 min gel time what does that mean? Is it possible if I heat up my working environment it can help. Ugh I wish I saw this sooner🥺😭. Love how you to work together and respect each other's skill and craft. Love this design. It's completely beautiful

[@RK3Designs]

Stonecoat epoxy IMO is a far superior product. The UVA, heat and scratch resistance is incredible. Paired with our Ultimate Top Coat, your countertops will be very very durable.

[@shamaraboonemua121]

@@RK3Designs if I sand down my epoxy can I put the stone epoxy over it or would I need to strip it completely?

[@RK3Designs]

@@shamaraboonemua121 if you have good adhesion with what is currently on the surface, all you need to do is sand thoroughly, paint 2 coats of your base color and then pour. The issue is if the current product that’s on the surface doesn’t have good adhesion. No matter what you put on top, it’s only going to be as strong as the bottoms layer. If that bond fails, the whole surface will fail.

[@vidaliasoleil2714]

I have used both TotalBoat tabletop epoxy and SuperClear. They run about $110 for two gallons on Amazon, roughly half the price of Stonecoat! Both TotalBoat and SuperClear have great scratch resistance and heat resistance. I tried putting hot pans on them and using them as cutting boards, things I would NEVER do to my kitchen countertop no matter what it was made out of anyway. Longer working time also means longer time for dust, bugs, and dog hairs to get stuck in the work or for someone to accidentally set something down on your newly poured countertop! No product has perfect UV resistance, but unless you are making something for outdoors that will set in the sun, you probably will never notice.

[@FA-xw9sb]

Why are you using Art Coat instead of Stone Coat Epoxy? Do you recommend applying Stone Coat Epoxy after it dries?

[@icefishalaska3814]

Can you redo this one but add a hint of teal tones with the gold?

[@robbiereed2175]

Your countertop is beautiful. I tried this and my lines were skinny, not as big as yours. What did I do wrong? Any suggestions appreciated.

[@RK3Designs]

Maybe add more product. 😊

[@FairyArtMother]

What brand(s) of tape do you prefer ?

[@RK3Designs]

I like the Scotch brand blue tape.

[@deloresalexander2965]

I for got to order top coat after we finish would it be the same amount how much could I do this between 24 and 36 hrs later?

[@RK3Designs]

The top coat is a roll on product. You can apply it anytime after the epoxy has cured. For specific instructions I’ve come up with a instructional PDF with mixing ratios. rk3designs.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/UTC-Mixing-Instructions.pdf

[@anthonypersaud720]

Hi there, did you say 8sf equals 54 oz of epoxy for a 7 oz pour? Based on stonecoat calculator on website, I am showing 142 oz for 8sf. Please let me know if I am calculating incorrectly.

[@suzannahlong496]

Can this be done on top of a white corianders counter?

[@RK3Designs]

You bet. You’ll just need to prep it with a high quality bonding primer first. I have several videos on prepping you may want to watch. 😊

[@aliciadowell7892]

Where do I find the color obsession gold at the 25:50 mark it is said. I can't find that color, is it a metallic?

[@ginalapan3524]

What kind of finish do you recommend on this recipe? Leave it shiny, honed or ultimate too coat?

[@RK3Designs]

I really like the Natural (matte) UTC finish on this piece!! Looks amazing!

[@kostasmavridis6131]

So should I sand it with 220 then pour a clear coat of epoxy on and then sand and put the matte utc on? Or can I skip the clear epoxy layer?

[@RK3Designs]

@@kostasmavridis6131yea, sand with 220 and I recommend a clear flood coat then the matte UTC 😊

[@SantosArtistry]

Beautiful

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!!
