Does the backsplash and edge trim come out as smooth since it is a vertical surface?

110% agreed! I see many are trying to share their once undisclosed techniques, but Mike & Kathryn has the absolute best methods! Finally Mike is using a shop vac, horray!

Somebody that believes in what they are offering shows.

I thought the exact same thing. Lol

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

@ Donny Sandley _ I was thinking the same thing the way he talks and his energy level. Nice work.

Stone Coat Countertops I have a question, is the last clear coat, the same you used at the beginning?

Thank you for this feedback Caren Wilson, it turned out beautiful!

Post the process for us?

Wyzhir Johnson It won’t be.

You Got This Kelsey Wilson! Give us a call anytime for free project support, thank you for watching and finding inspiration in our videos! 541-450-1976

Did you give it a go, Tom? If you did, how was it?

That’s technical jargon if I ever heard it.

I have used epoxy for years in my piano restoration business but I always ware a mask . Why are you not waring masks?

Thank you for your feedback KingReyOne! Are you planning any projects?

Thank you for your kind feedback Casandra Perry! What other projects would you like to see from us next?

The epoxy is going to drip. And they clearly taped everything off. Ever heard of gravity?

@@wellyforpm ever heard of reading. She said she'd tape UNDER the counter. That way you pull the drips off with the tape. Genius.

Great feedback Greywolf0167 thank you! Give us a call for project support and we are happy to help 541-450-1976 In almost all cases you'll want to wait 24 hours in between coats

Dont feel bad, I was thinking the same thing when they had so many cells on it from the alcohol spray.

I was thinking the same but I questioned what to do if you don't like something. I was thinking to mop it all up and begin again but I so love the details on how to make a design work until your happy. His wife is happy then all is well lol.

You some time never know the results.

i know right

Thank you for watching Tony!

Epoxy is heat resistant, but not heatproof. You could keep a solidly hot pan on it for a few, but you can risk damage. It won't instantly damage like laminate countertops, though.

Willie Coulter that’s what I was thinking as well. However, when he put him to work, I realized the guy just wanted to learn and be a part of the process.

that guy gave my a sense the he was a little kid in a cany shop type of feel. @@sillynacannada6718

I charge extra if customers have to watch.

@@ricoluna5057 I as others guessed as much. If you hover your mouse over to the right of your comment you will see 3 dots in a vertical (up & down) line. It is there you have the option to "edit" or "delete" your comment.

maybe i just havnt come across any videos with the back splash included "yet", but seems they are could be leaving them out for a reason.?.? could be just the nature of the beast.

The video link shows one with a backsplash that looks great.

I always think the same thing. Perhaps men don't just care that way?

Newpj58 that was answered in the video! No the sink does not have to come out. You can carefully mask off the sink while you apply the epoxy but the masking tape has to come off before the epoxy fully sets. You will get better results if you do remove the sink. Plus if you were to decide to change your sink out to a different profile sink later on. If it were poured without removing the sink you could end up with the old countertop showing through if the sink were not a perfect fit. You eliminate that issue by removing the sink prior to starting the epoxying process.

Newpj58 ..he went over that in FIRST PART OF VIDEO...!!!

simsonmotorader +maybe not, 'no air movemrnt'.

carbon dioxide from the burning propane is what removes the air bubbles, not heat.

Yes they still do look great in normal lighting. I've used the glow in the dark pigment for several of my clients using other brand product and it looks beautiful even in the light. Im sure his product would as well.

torches do not have cords that you might accidentally drag over a wet corner and ruining it.

it's not heat you are looking for. propane, when burned, releases carbon dioxide which is what you need to remove the air bubbles.

Water

I notice no one is responding to these type questions. Resin is great with heat but it does get scratched up and you can patch coat it fairly easily but it is still work.

They have a video showing the durability and it's heat resistant. I was wondering the same thing and I finally stumbled over the video

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6lgfsqHzM-1Z6c.html After 30 days, quite resilient..

His site has all of the materials needed for the projects.

@Ninety5tag Just did mine today and there were a few dimples when i thought i got em all. Very easy and i had the same plan of getting new counters if this didn't turn out well. I'll be keeping mine for now and can't stress how easy it was putting down. Prepping is the hardest and longest part for time. Heat guns work, they just take a little longer.

You can definitely do this yourself. I did my countertops and they came out beautiful and it was exactly the color and look I wanted. I get compliments by every single person that has seen my countertops and can’t believe that I did them by myself I might add. I covered all my floors which at the time were brand new and my cabinets in 3 ml plastic I didn’t use the paper and nothing was damaged. The one thing they don’t really stress is don’t leave any lights on while the epoxy is drying because it attracts bugs and the bugs will get stuck in the epoxy. Good luck. You got this👍

@@AnaisAthena what colors did you choose?

Thank you so much for your kind words! Are you planning a countertop project?

Great question Dragonfly Goddess! Stone Coat Countertop epoxy is durable. You can set hot pots and pans directly on the surface; however, just as any countertop surface, we suggest you still use hot pads, as it's nonporous and food safe. You can clean with normal household countertop cleaners, but soap and water generally does the trick. Not much will damage the surface as far as spills and stains, but it's good to clean up spills after you're finished cooking and using your tops to prep. It takes three days for light use, seven days for cure and thirty days to a full cure where our durability video tests are shown at. Here is a link to our durability video showing what Stone Coat Countertops can take, we have tested up to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7KFp8ia2767kYE.html Thank you and feel free to contact us anytime!

@@StoneCoatCountertops so everyday cleaners including something like Clorox clean up.

What about being wet all the time? What about using some type of texture to prevent say a slip if you did this on a concrete floor? Is there something that can be done/used to create that texture that does not stick/adhere to the resin? Thank you in advance.

Congrats, when you are finished, enjoy your toxic kitchen countertop!

@@damon6852 why are you saying that?

American 69 I believe a chopping block would be in order, you also wouldn’t put a hot pan on it. Treat it like you would any other counter top

@@chelebowns8078 the super fantastic thing is IF it does get gouged or scratched, you can fill it in with more clear epoxy after a light sand!

Kirsten Dickson right! Although my first thought was to buff it

Here's a V E R Y detailed experiment you can see... they put two extremely hot pans on the counter top and you can see what happens. Blew my mind and made me feel a LOT better about deciding to do this ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7KFp8ia2767kYE.html

Thank you for this feedback Judi Christopher! We appreciate that!

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this lol

My thought was it's a larger overhang. I could be wrong.

Yeah I'm guessing the overhang is big enough it doesn't matter.

I was thinking the same and notice it wasnt treated as well as other se ction. I cringed during spraying.

Thanks for watching Bradley, give us a call when you are ready and we would love to help get you going! 541-450-1976

Appreciate your response. Thank you so much.

I am that wife. LOL!

I probably wouldn’t cut on any counter surface at all.

They have a new invention called a cutting board and they can be picked up at home improvement stores or places like Bed Bath and beyond. A knife on the epoxy will scratch and gouge the surface and will not make a quality knife keep it's edge long. Cheep knives will dull quickly. Epoxy is a harder surface than the plastic or wood cutting boards but softer than glass. Never ever ever ever use real stone or glass cutting boards they are knife killing machines ( the dark siths of cutting boards ). You can buy them and I have no idea why they are even sold!? A nice bamboo cutting board or the plastic ones will last for many years maybe a life time and cost next to nothing. They save time ( sharpening knives ) and clean up quick. Plus you aren't going to be spreading chicken juice ( samanila) on the counter. My wife has been a commercial cook for 30 years and nearly lost her mind when we first got together when I tried using the counter for cutting up chicken. I was BANNED from kitchen for awhile so she could sanitize the counter........My bad! Please don't take my starting comment as snarky it's a light hearted joke from Captain Obvious my alter ego!!

Scott Hopkins Nice comment. Wouldn't the "chicken juice" drip off the cutting board onto the counter top anyway?
