@@RK3Designs how would you recommend doing this with countertops that have sink built in.. w/o removing from vanity. Won’t the epoxy clog the drain? I assume you would need to avoid letting it go down the drain somehow...
@RK3Designs4 жыл бұрын
You’ll need to disconnect the drain. We usually take the actual drain plug out and tape it. Then just let the epoxy run down into a bucket. As soon as the epoxy starts to get set, pull the tape. The only other way would be to plug the drain and just keep taking the epoxy out as it runs down the sink.

Yes. You’ll want to scuff sand the surface, than prime with a good Bonding primer. I use XIM. Then proceed. Most of the time we remove the backsplash.
