I'd like to see how you do different edges. Ogee perhaps... Radius Ogee or Full Bullnose are probably impossible.

[@michaelpate9782]

Great video Mitch. Will definitely add this to the list of techniques to try. Quick question regarding one of the test boards behind you. Do you have a video showing the technique used on the blue/black/gray/white test piece behind your right side? Looks like the colors were poured separately and slowly mixed together vs an exotic pour. It's got a great look. Thanks!

How do you get the sponge to lk like granite has been made rather than painted like the one in this video? Can you buy like it is it do you have to cut sections out of the roller yourself?

Just to confirm buddy is the paint you used are gloss paint or water base paint.

[@Raharris1017]

can you demonstrate how to do this on an existing installed countertop looks easy because its on a board…

[@mitchquist]

I sure can, great idea. I'd just have to use small hand sponges where the backsplash meets the countertop

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Great suggestion!

[@shoyrushoyru]

It looks really cool like desert stone. It doesn’t really look like the granite you showed as an example as I feel it’s colors are far too uniform and the specks of paint are too small. Maybe it needed some black splatters or something on it. It does look cool, just not a reasonable replacement for the design that was used as an example

[@mitchquist]

You're right, I would choose some different shades of brown when I try this again

[@reginatriplett9456]

Love this! I wonder what a little copper mica powder would look like to give that a real granite sparkle.

[@cassandrakertz2742]

I started playing with epoxy resin almost a year ago and taught myself a lot during my diy experience lol I started doing it almost like a coping skill during a tragic part in my life and my very first project was a memorial heart with flowers and pictures! I was so excited to be able to save some flowers ! Anyways I learned about your team on a Facebook live and started watching your videos and I'm super excited to try some of your products cause believe I have tried a lot of different products and quite a bit of them I wasn't to impressed with it so I will definitely be putting in my order this week! Thank you to all of your team and your self for the ideas and knowledge that you provide in all your videos! Many blessings to you all!

Looks great! Can you do this on cultured marble? Also can you us a faux painting sponge instead of roller?

[@mitchquist]

You sure can to both questions! You'd have great results on the sink bowl using a small sponge rather than a big roller like I used here. Here is a video I made going over old cultured marble: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e17OaGCNosyqfqc Let me know if you have any questions

[@melissagwynn8560]

Can epoxy be used over peel and stick wallpaper?

[@mitchquist]

Yes if the peel and stick is well stuck down to the board. If it is peeling up or not bonding well, I wouldn't do it. Thanks for the question

[@marysmith-sg2ms]

How do you figure out how much epoxy you need per square foot?

[@mitchquist]

3 ounces of mixed epoxy per square foot of project. 1.5 ounces of A & 1.5 ounces of B

[@deaneitnier3936]

Love this method. What about a painted marble look? Possibility? Also, my counters are a laminated particle board and very old. Over time they have become slightly uneven (bowed). Will this be a problem with the self leveling epoxy?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

It can be when applying color in the epoxy, this style we put clear epoxy on but if bowed really bad the self leveling epoxy may be thin on the bow and additional coats may be needed. Try to get the bow out with shims from underneath

[@jsuesd]

When will Ultimate Topcoat be back in stock?

[@barbarafuoco1674]

Can this be used on laminate counters with the round edges??

[@guyh.4553]

Geologically speaking, you can have brown splotches that you made your "boo boo" with. 😁😁 I really like this look a lot for kitchens. Looks real. One thing I noticed is that you didn't have a rough outer edge like in so many other pieces you've done. Was that intentional and could you have a rough outer edge? I imagine you can. Just curious. Good video!

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

For this project I was testing out this style to show a customer. This would work just fine with a rock face edge. I'd use the 2 little sponges that came with the big roller to hit any valleys the roller may miss on the edge. Great questions, thanks for watching!

[@guyh.4553]

@@StoneCoatCountertops yes sir, I figured that. 😁😁 I just wanted to add a geological point of view. No matter what, it came out great!

[@EpiLover]

Mitch: What were the three colors you used for this project?

[@StanarhymeswithDonna]

If working on a counter with a back splash, I assume the roller wouldn’t get in the crevice. Do you blot that area with a natural sponge? Do you know if you can get the same look as you do with the roller?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

The sponge roller I used here came with 2 small sponges stuffed inside the roller. That's what I would have used or got a small pack of sea sponges from amazon or a craft store, thanks so much for watching

[@mitchquist]

I used this for the main countertop amzn.to/3IrEpKQ you can pick up small hand sea sponges to hit the splash and where the splash hits the countertop

[@travissmallwood8657]

You should’ve done the third color a dark brown

[@gagemiller2310]

what paint colors were used for this project?

[@TheOneNeoLok]

I'm wondering 🤔 how a guitar pickguard would look with epoxy on it. Like a flying v pickguard or even doing a guitar with this stuff might be nice. I dont like the colors picked personally but I do enjoy your videos on this channel.

[@darrinlindsey]

In those vertical slabs in back, there's one that is black, white, grey and a few spots of a light blue. It's on the left side of the screen. I'm wondering if there's a video of that being made.

[@Victor-xb6ok]

That's cool have anything for installed countertops but there unlevel I think. But there white and black now

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

If you can try and shim up from underneath the countertops to bring the counters to level. If you can't, you can do a thinner coat where the countertop is out of level and let it dry overnight. Sand the leading edge of the epoxy to feather that transition and sand the epoxy. Now do your undercoat and pour the top this should help a ton to keep from the colors running to the out of level section. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

[@granttaylor7906]

can you use a big gas torch to remove the bubbles?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

you sure can, keep the torch head moving in a sweeping motion over the surface 1-3'' Thanks for the great question

[@mitchquist]

you can use a propane torch or heat gun to remove the air from the epoxy

That looks pretty doable, but wondering if you ever do this with the counter tops already on - for instance, how do you do it smoothly around a faucet and over cabinets without making a mess?

[@shoyrushoyru]

You’d probably remove the faucet and maybe sink (if applicable) and mask off the cabinets with plastic sheeting so that they do not get splattered and you have a flatter surface to work with. Then when you’re done you reinstall the removed items.
