Hi Mitch, I am a disabled person and am married 33 years and my husband is 83 years old. I am in the process of redoing my rental units from a house we sold and I feel left out! I don't live in a big house so for you, it wouldn't be a big job. I have been watching your videos and am amazed. I have always put others before myself and always see to their needs before my own, it would be a dream come true if I was someone you would like to help. Sincerely, Dawn Brewster

Great job Mitch!!! I have very olddd 80’s style “wood look” laminate countertops that technically have to be evened out due being uneven around the sink. I already have a smaller kitchen that I don’t really care for going into until I have to because it’s an eye sore lol It definitely needs some help. I’m a DIYer, but I wouldn’t even know where to begin

[@nancyyesko9202]

I am considering this method for my countertops from the late 70's. May I purchased the product or do I need the company to do it?

[@KristiSage]

Hey Mitch, I would absolutely love it if you could come to Arizona and help us with our pour! Your expertise would be amazing! Countertops fabricated, working on the island this week. I’ve been procrastinating bc I can’t decide what I want. 😂 so, get ur butt over here! 😁 Honestly tho, helping someone who has served this country who could really use the update would be totally awesome! And I’d vote for that 👍🏼 ❤️ya

HEY MITCH, Cory advised me to put a topcoat of your new polyaspartic on top of my MDF counters that I’m making for an outdoor kitchen here in New York. I already did the bonding coat and encapsulated them in clear art coat. Do I need to do the top and bottom in polyaspartic?! You guys rock.

[@lawstar138]

Hey Mitch! I love watching yalls videos and love the products too. For outdoor bartop, would you use the art coat for the entire pour or just as a clear final topcoat?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

When going outdoors, best practice is to have the countertop under a shade cover all day. Even then the sunlight is harsh. Use only earth tone colors outdoors for the time being. We are bringing to market a polyaspartic countertop product for use with white and light tops outdoors.

Hey Mitch, I'm planning to build a new house in about a year, I like the look of some epoxy floors, and maybe counters in kitchen and bathrooms, I don't see doing this DIY, I have some serious health issues that cause me to wear out very quickly, like having to rest after taking a single bag of trash out of the house. A couple questions: How durable is an epoxy countertop compared to other materials. 2nd question, what is the approximate cost of epoxy floors per sqft?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Where are you building your new house? Maybe we can make a deal!?

[@flattop223]

@@StoneCoatCountertops I won't know for sure until my brother and sister-in-law buy their new house. I have health issues so I have to be near someone I can count on to help me as needed. We agreed on the Ozarks or somewhere near that area, so most likely in Arkansas but it could be anywhere around there or the surrounding states. As soon as they choose a location, I'll be looking to sell my house. Then either build on their property if it is 5+ acres or I'll be looking for my own land 1+ acres, that has to be within 15 minutes of their new house.

[@paganskye452]

Hey, Mitch! Can you epoxy plexiglass? I'm interested in buying a bus and converting it to a tiny mobile home. Unlike the conversions I've seen, I do not want any floor-to-celing solid walls, so my thought was to use plexiglass everywhere I want full walls allowing as much light as possible. For the bathroom, I thought epoxy over plexiglass coated with epoxy would grant privacy while allowing light to pass through.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

You can, you'll want to scuff sand it 1st and keep it from flexing too much when installed. We also use pink foam from the home depot to make wall and shower panels

[@johnbrusque8573]

hey mitch,. do you use new buckets every mix and every project?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Not always. I flip the buckets over and let them drain on plastic then a day or so later you can peel them clean. When I'm pouring a customers job I will always use clean new buckets though.

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Great question youngster! Thanks for watching too!!! You can make different shades of white by varying the amount of white dye you use when coloring the epoxy. Make a very white "whole" milk and a lighter more translucent 1% "skim" milk. When you meld them together on the project, they marbleize! U GOT THIS MA'AM!!! -Mitch

Isn't Epoxy toxic? How do you use this in a kitchen?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Not this epoxy! Epoxy from china and other places can be brutal. Ours is DIY friendly with no nasty voc's or smell

[@kcdcdesigns]

Great job on the video and being able to capture all the steps! That's what helps people realize that they can do this to their own countertops! For those of you on the fence, check out all the Stone Coat tutorials as well as RK3 Designs on KZbin and order some Stone Coat epoxy and start practicing and having fun. That's what I did, I got hooked, and I've now been doing this full-time for nearly 3 years! Why jump on board? Because YOU GOT THIS!!!!

Thanks KCDC! Couldn't have done this one without you!

[@kcdcdesigns]

@@StoneCoatCountertops It was an honor being able to work with the best on this project!!! Truly blessed! ❣

[@BrentRuhlen]

Hey Mitch, isn't a flood coat standard on countertops? If so, why did you decide not to do it with this job?

[@StoneCoatCountertops]

Great question, It is best practice to apply a clear coat of epoxy over the project, if you omit you must apply the UTC to bring the top back to food safe. On this one a couple of factors had us going the route of no clear coat. We were on a time crunch and had a plane to catch and we applied a wash coat which helps build up the edge epoxy. Normally I always apply a clear coat to add depth, protect the edges better, brings top to food safe and if a repair needs to happen down the road we have a clear coat to sand and polish if needed

[@cybercanvas]

I have reached out to Stone Coat multiple times in Canada and never received a reply. My kitchen and two bathrooms are awaiting countertops and I'd love to give Stone Coat a try, but I can't do that without a reply.

@@StoneCoatCountertops Hi Mitch. I'm sooo sorry to harp on this but our kitchen is sitting waiting for counter tops now for over a year. My wife and I both have cancer so I'd really like to get this done while we're still up to it. To be honest it feels like once Stone Coat found out the size of my job all interest was lost. The follow up to my open ticket was, "...At this time, all orders from Canada must be placed over the phone with agents..." and a price list. This offers no aid in design and selection. So "Your ticket... has been Resolved" doesn't help us.

Hi guys. I am a painter and I sculpt mini's. I wanted to make a counter top that was a bit more, fanciful. I wanted to start with a base acrylic painted counter surface, and use stone coat with some possible embedded glitters, transparent background stickers? Would this work? I am thinking of something Nerd Forge would be proud of. Would you consider doing a project with her? I want to make some really cool fantasy creative weird stuff.

[@michellemorris4682]

Looks amazing! I absolutely LOVE these colors. Can you do a short on your tape dams? Mine never seem to hold and leak. Are you using foam?

[@brushandpendesignstudio7637]

what brand of masking tape do you use? we are in Australia and did our countertop in situ using only a clear epoxy over copper leaf (we used another brand as we couldn't get your brand here). Sadly the masking tape we used literally fell off as soon as the clear epoxy hit the masking tape causing all kinds of drama with leaking epoxy on floor and into sink hole - it was a mess..!! we managed to save the top pour but the edges are a mess - can we re-mask the top edge and then apply clear epoxy to edges using our hands? Love your videos :)

[@RB-es1vx]

This seems like a pricy job. For what you would charge someone, wouldn't it be cheaper to just get new counter top.

[@JMBurke]

So the Backsplash pieces were a tile add on? no criticism, just wanted to figure out how to negotiate that with customers. I know you can't do the epoxy coat on the backsplash unless you do it offline in a horizontal layout and then mount later.

Hey Mitch. Just wanted to say thank you for the skillset you put in my box... My wife and I are likely to be evicted within some time frame as landlord wants to move family in.... But we are gonna continue to make this place look spectacular..... We are loading up on materials - I'm rewatching your entire channel that I would never KZbin-dl and planning our next moves.... Doubt we would have budget for bathroom but we are going to do kitchen floor and counter... I got a nice 5" slab to get cut innhalf roughly to serve as entry way floor piece (studio apartment) will be a 1 bedroom by the time we are done with it.... We have in our bedroom "" 2 height adjustable tables of which we have been collecting nostalgic items so we can deep pour them both.... Soffits outfitted with addressable lights.... Perimeter of ceiling will be dropped to a new height.... And as I look at these walls and think about what you guys did with pink foam..... Ooooo man - I had lightbulbs going off .... Without demoing the walls what's your take on coating half inch pink foam and adhesives to the back of them . figuring it would be light weight (assumption) any ideas for supporting what essentially will be a wall "facelift". I am sure the next tenant in this apartment will absolutely adore this place... At least I hope so... Epoxy gave me a way out of my own misery and depression.... We pretty much got everything we need except the epoxy.... So looking forward to this...

Hey guys, I finally was able to get around to comment on one of your videos. I am down here in SW Florida. I live in a town called Ft. Myers Beach. If it sounds familiar it is because on 9/28/22 we took the direct hit from category 5 Hurricane Ian. Days before the storm my wife, brother and I were finishing a 3 year restoration on our home that we purchased 3 years prior. We had invested all of our time and money into our waterfront dream home for our family to enjoy, especially our two daughters. Unfortunately mother nature had different plans. In just a few hours our home had been destroyed. Everything we owned, saved for and built had been destroyed. Photos, family keepsakes and memories crumbled in our hands. Even the tools needed to rebuild as well as our vehicles were swept away. Heartbreakingly, body recovery was needed as an unfortunate soul was found under our dock. Thank the Lord our family was fine. The reason I am commenting is to thank you. While walking the property with the insurance adjuster, she pointed out one thing they could not cover. To no exaggeration, she stated the magnitude of our loss but then swiped her hand across a mud covered counter and said "We will cover everything but these. They are in perfect condition. They were the countertops made with your fine product. In the days after, we used the same countertops to serve friends and neighbors on break from cleanup. It was also our level workbench, storage shelf for new supplies and in a few weeks will be re-installed as our new downstairs bar top. More importantly, it will serve as a welcomed reminder to never take for granted what we have right now. To appreciate the moments and the people we are blessed to share them with. Especially, to always know that life is a fragile gift that must always be appreciated. I hope this grants unto you the peace of mind in knowing that you are well represented here in SWFL. Not by me but the fine product you put forth everyday. Many of our friends have inquired about the product to which we proudly state...."It survived the storm" This is generally responded to with a simple head shake, nothing else needs to be said. For down here, we all understand. I hope this finds you well, thank God for this fine product and the company that stands behind it. You are truly appreciated. Humbly, Anthony "Mick" Leonard
