I liked it a lot before the fractures/veins were added. I like fractures/veins, as they make it look more authentic, but to me, there were too many added. But I'm new to this process, so I could be off base. I think you guys do beautiful work, and would LOVE to have your countertops in my new kitchen! That's a whole big story there. Anywho, keep up the awesomeness!

@CannonBall31058 Жыл бұрын

Too many fractures for me. Also, an idea for fracturing would be to overlap your fracture papers and cut a swiggly line and then when you spray paint lines they wouldn't just be straight lines. Great Job guys! StoneCoat 4/ever

@pandapanda8354 2 жыл бұрын

After watching this video, I’ve learned that a palette of a billion shades of the same color family plus a few contrasting colors makes an extremely authentic stone look. The mass produced countertop kits at the big box store have maybe 3 colors in one kit. I’ve seen the results at two friends’ houses. It does NOT look like stone or marble. It looks like paint. The countertop y’all created in this video looks so vivid, so authentic, and so natural. Adding so many colors to the pour gives so many layers. This is what separates a custom product from a mass produced kit. I hope to recreate this effect in white, copper, beige, tan, and cream with hints of pink, yellow, and terra-cotta. I’ve known I wanted stone coat brand for a while, but I could not decide on a color.

@rob379lqz 2 жыл бұрын

Thank-you. Very impressive. 1. In low humidity environments, consider adding more drop-sheet and taping. Ie. Lay/hang plastic drop shert over TV screen, and more of the windows. Reason is: very small specks of airborne spraypaint can adhere to unintended surfaces. 2. What your thoughts on using the pistol-grip triggers on your spraypaints? Is there enough precision, or is the index finger better? One other option is using your thumb, as it is less fatigued than index finger. With Nitrile or Latex glove, and thumb on top of the nosel, wrap a few rounds of masking tape around your hand to assist in a un-fatigued and more relaxed-hand hold. The disadvantage is that until you find the best position for your wrist/arm, it will feel a bit awkward. 3. This is purely a subjective comment (and I understand that there were several people involved): I merely see a bit of over-processing in quantity of cracks/cuts/fissures/imperfections. I do understand this was a tutorial, yet may I respectfully mention that “more is not always better”. Thank-you again, and impressive collaboration.
