Tuesday Night Live…Playing with alcohol and Dyes

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... RK3 offers numerous classes that cater to different levels of experience.

You don’t give yourself near enough credit. You are the talent. Surrounding yourself with smart talented folks is always a bonus however some of us not so talented folks could try all these projects and they don’t turn out as near as good as yours. I love you work. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@lindablomquist5312]

Humility is the new awesomeness 👌 That's what makes her sooooo special

[@yvettejolivet5736]

Ohh my goodness, you never stop to teach us these Amazing finishes. Gonna be lucky if I get any sleep, as I'm for sure going to attempt this in the morning. Thanks soooo much Team👍🙋‍♀️💞

[@RK3Designs]

You’ll be hooked!!!

[@lisagreene1401]

WOW this is gorgeous!! I have been looking for this technique forever! I saw this in my head years ago. Now I can give it a try. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@lizbelyea2468]

Outstanding! Thanks for going through it slowly and explaining everything!

[@RK3Designs]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!!!

[@Paula-po9kx]

Thank you Rhonda and Kenny. I didn’t catch the live so I couldn’t see the link for Clara’s KZbin link, would you please post it? These alcohol inks create really cool designs, seems like they’re much easier to use over the epoxy’s.

[@KristiSage]

Fantastic, Rhonda! Thx for your tutorial! And thank you, Kenny ⭐️

[@johnpepper4917]

I've been following woodworking...then of course epoxy applications and other things as well for about three years now. I'm very bored and certainly tired of my job as an electrician, which I'll never suggest I ever stood in line for, protesting that I wanted to be...no matter. I love watching the possibilities unfold that you make happen here.

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

Sooo pretty!! P.s., I've done this several times and did Not use a spray first and the Art stone coat worked great. Don't scrape with a trowel, lightly spread with your hand. No smearing.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

It is stunning!! 💞 I think you need a purple, silver, and deep pink to create some different designs!! 💜

[@saralynharder4464]

Can you resin directly on top of the archival spray after it dries? I'd like to have a high glass finish. I think this process and the colors would be awesome for coastal areas!! This is beautiful!!!

[@lindablomquist5312]

Girl you just did it again!!!❤

[@funkycountrydiy7619]

Would definitely attend a class on this!!

[@cabbking]

Newbie here trying to learn. Thank you!

[@RK3Designs]

That’s great. I’m here to help! 😊

[@kimchamberlain1108]

Absolutely love this 💙💚

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!!

[@tanyarambler656]

what is the ratio for the alcohol and the dyes

[@debbeneman9792]

Happy Birthday, from Kalamazoo, Michigan. 🎂🎁😊

[@terrijuanette486]

How long do you have to wait after spraying the Krylon Archival matte before you can put on the flood coat?

[@adrianrodriguez414]

So I have to try this for a client. I'm having trouble finding the products. ATD, is out of stock. Question the rezin arte products, were those the dry epoxy paint. And the alcohol dye u mention, is that just regular alumilite dye, or do they have a different product. Thanks so much for all you do.

[@RK3Designs]

The Rezin Arte products are a powder colorant, but feel almost like a freeze dried product (if that makes senses..LOL) The dyes are the Alumilite dyes I sell on my site.

[@sarahbrett8502]

This is sooooo lovely I will definitely be using this in my bathroom. Happy Birthday 🥳 can I get the inks in the UK or the resin art? Love ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimberlyjudd1685]

Hello from Georgia. Kimberly J here. Hello moderators!!!

[@mandywatkins8605]

Hi from South wales great Britain love your work and videos I'm a new 🐝

[@mcoutu6849]

Kenny, you should build Rhonda a cone for the end of the blow dryer to narrow the air a bit? Some dryers come with one but I bet you can whip something up if it doesn’t have one.😉

[@waynesmith2942]

love it

[@davemall1]

How hard would it be to use this on a integrated sink?

[@shirleekatt5629]

Absolutely love this Rhonda! I have a question. If you put the archive spray on, do you need to lightly sand before putting on a resin flood coat?? Thank you so much for sharing this technique ❣️

[@angry4015]

Did you make a video when you made the green and black (second from the Left?) If so, can you point me to it?

[@juanorfi3708]

great videos! i was wondering if a pbc borard will accept the epoxy. thanks for the info

[@lindagarvey9536]

Happy Birthday!

[@AprilCunningham]

Did you try this with just black and whites yet?? If so please show us!!! I am trying my own in the black and white tonite.

[@RK3Designs]

I haven’t, let me know how yours turns out. 😊

[@wtglb]

Is that gold actually the Piñata Brass? I love Lorrie Brewer’s “wispy” technique, that would be stunning on a shower wall 😮

[@RK3Designs]

Yes. That is it. I think this on a shower will be crazy cool!

[@bridgetmurphy851]

How much of the powder do you put in? This looks like so much fun!

[@liepoldfamilyfarms9643]

Beautiful 👍👍

[@RK3Designs]

❤️

[@robyn3270queenofcups]

Happy Birthday Vamp 🥳🎈

[@wtglb]

I LOVE alcohol Inks!

[@neilditto]

I’m a newbie from houston tx.

[@tlrmd4you]

This is totally a "NIGHTMARE" for me to see!!!! I will NEVER be able to stop with this technique!!! BUTT...would it be possible to make about a 2 inch vein throughout the surface, without blowing it all over the area, because i like the idea of having a smoke gray line with a white growing down the middle of it. I would love to know...thanks so much for doing this!! I think...lol

[@EstreetEpoxys]

Is this the 21st live show?

[@antoniacain873]

Beautiful!!!! What’s Claire KZbin information ?

[@RK3Designs]

Just search Clara Lawrence 😊

[@EstreetEpoxys]

Hi Moderators my Birthday was the 16th Happy Birthday Day Scorpio ☺️👍🏽

[@tamireichman]

Why use a dryer vs a heat gun?

[@francislobbrecht6320]

Bonjour!! SUPER joli, MERCI, avez-vous maigrie ?? si oui, ça vous va très bien...et le bronzage aussi vous êtes RADIEUSE.

[@deanmurphy9611]

Could you do a epoxy American flag be much appreciated

[@maximecasavant734]

a somewhat looks like your knew to alcohol ink.

[@RK3Designs]

I believe I stated that at the beginning. 🤪

[@ravensdensteakhouseandtapr2121]

Please please stop moving the camera. I’m getting motion sickness. Ugh.

[@RK3Designs]

This was one of the very first videos I did using my phone. Hopefully you’ve watched other ones and I have gotten better. 🤣🤣

[@carriwill5468]

would this work on attached back splashes?
