Stone Coat Training: Ultimate Top Coat Application | Stone Coat Epoxy

Our Store and products: www.stonecoatcountertops.com/...
For optimal adhesion please follow these instructions. This is a 4 step process when applying the Stone Coat Platinum.
Step 1: Use 1 ounce per square foot of Stone Coat Platinum as a wash coat aka undercoat. (Avoid using our epoxy undercoat with the Stone Coat Platinum, the water off-gassing may cause poor adhesion.) The wash coat will replace the undercoat when using our Platinum system. A wash coat is applied by tinting the Platinum with our dye then using a large popsicle stick or squeegee to spread a thin coat that's tinted to hide the color of the substrate. When coating over existing non-porous materials such as laminate, be sure to create visible scratches in the surface using mechanical sanding to promote adhesion. Bonding primer can also be applied but be sure the water has fully escaped prior to installing the Stone Coat Platinum. The purpose of a wash coat is to promote adhesion by pushing the coating into the substrate as well as adding an undertone color to hide the original color of the substrate.
Step 2: As soon as the wash coat is applied you can add the color coat. The color coat is the decorative process of applying our color additives including Dye, Metallic Powder, and Spray Paint. Mix 3 ounces per square foot of Platinum for this coat.
Step 3: The clear coat is applied the next day. Sand with 120 grit sanding discs using a random orbital sander. Wipe with xylene, then apply the clear coat. We mix 3 ounces per square foot of the Stone Coat Platinum for this coat. As we have continued testing adhesion in all climates and temperatures we advise this method of application. (As soon as the xylene is flashed or dry, pour the clear coat because the xylene is going to make the color coat sticky which will promote optimal adhesion)
Step 4: Apply the Ultimate top coat for extreme scratch resistance, a natural sheen, and ultimate durability. Follow the instructions for the Ultimate Top Coat.
This Stone Coat Platinum system differs from our other products because it's been designed for the professional installer who has a need for a fast turnaround time and the ultimate non yellowing hybrid coating technology. The materials set up and cure fast, requiring experience. Please practice on a small project first and get ready to take your epoxy business to the next level! YOU GOT THIS!

I can't express how much I enjoy your videos. When I watch resin videos(mostly resin art) and they use your products, i love it and hit the subscribe button right away. I love watching pouring your heart out, she used your product, then she used another resin product, but they weren't nice to her so she went back to yours. Absolutely love seeing how it works for art and how i can watch one of your videos and upgrade my kitchen to my shower. Just Absolutely love your products and watching the enthusiasm in your videos. I could go on lol.

[@davedennis6042]

I love your videos because you don't over produce them. It's like I'm hanging out right there in the shop/lab with ya. I dearly want to get into doing this. I have worked some construction and have experience with finishing and painting so I think this is something I can do. I promise I won't just take a job after watching a few videos.

The reason I found ur videos was bcos of Mitch?? I saw a video of his yesterday and was instantly hooked .. My laptop has been running all night watching these videos.. This is crazy how easy u make it look but it's not really that easy now is it?? Come on now.. I saw the video of that huge kitchen u did. U used 2 layers, one was kinda bowed Plywood and then u topped it with MDF. That job was beautiful man.. I love the fact u like to show the techniques to ppl but how long has this been around?? Is this a very recent thing bcos I noticed a lotta ppl using epoxy on tables but that looked like a lotta work. Sanding and bringing back to a fine shine.. The way u do this is bloody fantastic guys.. Keep doing ur thing and salute to u all for allowing us to see the techniques involved in the game

[@edsmith8831]

Do you have a side-by-side comparison of a Carrara marble table of honed vs natural UTC? I’d love to see the difference!

[@nickaudette3315]

Are you saying that the platinum should never be the final coat? I was planning on doing art coat for color coat and platinum for the flood and final coat. Should I just do Art Coat for both coats? Doing a white marble look.

[@watermouse9296]

@Stone Coat - How long after your pour your color and flood/top coat epoxy, shoudl you roll this on? Also - similar to the question above, how long is to long? IE; Can I roll this 24hours after original expxy coat or can I roll this 10 days after original epoxy? Just wondering if there is a sweet spot - just ordered some and about to do my kitchen, so looking for help in that category.

[@GodGunsGutsandNRA]

I like the high shine surface, so does the dry rolling of the Ultimate Top Coat not turn the lovely shine to a matte finish?

[@NoNonsenseNan]

If you are doing counter with integrated sink, would you put this UTC in the sink or leave the sink shiny?

[@kimberley4758]

Can this top coat be used over other products? Over painted surfaces, natural or stained wood.... just curious of the possible versatility of this great product?

[@joshuacaskey7499]

How would I do rounded ends like vines. I have 166 year old westaria that I'm making a porch swing out of and I want to epoxy it to preserve the vines for many more years.. should I wait until it's already built or should I epoxy each piece individually

[@tlc9842]

How did the board turn out that you had touched before it was dry? You added top coat to it without sanding to see if it would work. Did it or was it a fail?

[@pamelagroves1377]

Have u ever done shower doors from epoxy? Maybe some small steel rods or tubes of glass or epoxy could be inserted f o r strength. Drilled & put on roll system like barn doors...

[@flaron352]

What do you do about small dimples after epoxy dries and where edges appear with voids?

[@pnizzleable]

If I finished my piece with the natural top coat, can I sand it off and apply the Gloss top coat? Will the natural glossiness of the original color coat/clear coat come back?

Can the ultimate top coat be applied to polished, unfinished concrete counters even if I didn’t use an epoxy coating?

[@briangobat6608]

so did you apply a clear coat over the epoxy before the ultimate top coat, or do you just apply the UTC over the epoxy

[@lacysmith8943]

I have a question I just got done doing my countertops and I had a matte finish which I'm not too fond of but that's the only thing that they had in stock at the moment can I switch that back to a gloss finish without having the re epoxy

Can you use this colour on the inside rim of the kitchen sink so it can stop any water damage?

Hi important question is you epoxy resin made for resin art molds. Is it solvent resistant. Im a nail tech and want to make Dappin Dish for acetone and nail monomer

[@NicBran07]

I plan on turning my granite counters into Carrera marble. It seems the Platinum is the way to go. But my question is my island. It is a Black Walnut top. Right now it has polyurethane (yuck, right?) And I love the shiny finish. I need it to be durable, scratch resistant so it seems I should not use Plantinum because the Top Coat gives it the honed look and not shiny, and without it, the Plantinum will not be durable, right?

[@jerrylittle8922]

So this would work on a large walnut or Pine Slab table or counter top?
