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.

rk3designs.com || How do y'all like the faux finishing tutorials? What techniques/finishes would you like to see in the future?
Is there any way to cover a fiberglass tub and surround?
I would appreciate a video dedicated to fixing mistakes.
Also would love to see you do more dirty/exotic pours.
@@annmariejarka9091 thank you!!! We actually are scripting a video to do exactly this, help you with mistakes!!! Thank you sooooo much for the feedback!
Love the dark lines on the lighter side! BUT that dark side is to die for!!!
Thank you!!!!
Yep, love the distinct planks! Beautiful!
Thanks!! 😊😊
That’s a great faux wood plank look… I have a customer that is wanting this look..so, I may be picking your brain for more ideas in the future. 🙂
Love the dark!!!
I’m experimenting with tinted metallic texture medium and using the roller…..and then adding more color. I’d like to see videos taking a textured surface to another level by adding color, glitter, paint or whatever. Maybe on a piece of furniture as an accent piece.
That’s a great idea!!! I love tinting the texture medium. Let me see what I can come up with. ❤️
By far you are the best artist on UA-cam. Your skill level is amazing.
You are way too sweet. Thank you for the kind words and support. 😊😊
Thank you so much for your training. It was very good.
Thank you!!!!!😊
Love the wood finishes. Please keep doing all the different techniques. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you!
Thank you!!! 😊😊
This was the one I was looking for today. This hit it perfectly! Thank you Rhonda. Pics soon 😁
Love it with the dark.
Me too. 😊😊
I want to do my floors like this!!!
Would love to see more of the faux wood techniques. Like wall planks & flooring. Great job!
fantastic work from such a clever lady .I like the darker side
Thank you!! 😊😊
Love this. So many possibilities!
I have played around using a graining tool on epoxy that was almost set and topping with a flood coat. It didn’t hold the ridges as much as I liked, but the mica powders created really cool deposits in the grains.
Your technique allows for better control of the texture and color. Thank you for sharing!! 🥰
Love it and can’t wait to try it.
Thank you!! It’s lots of fun for sure!!
Love it!!!
Very cool and very realistic! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity!
You are very welcome!! 😊
That is really awesome and you made exactly how I thought you would.
Thank you!! 😊😊
Love it need to learn more. Great job as always
We will be posting more tutorials like these. 😊
Looks Amazing !!
Thank you!!! 😊
I love them both! I need to research how to do on an uneven old wood floor!
You can pour a concrete overlay and use concrete decorative rollers.
@@RK3Designs I may try that! It's my son's house, and he may want to refinish the wood floors at some time, need to do a quick fix for a hallway, it's not terrible but just not completely level.
That is spectacular!! 🌟🌟 The black lines look more realistic, I think! 🤔
Thank you!! That’s what I thought as well.
@@RK3Designs You're quite welcome! 💖
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!!! Do you think this could be done on a cement floor??
Love it!!! Is the epoxy non-yellowing, water and UV resistant for floor and countertops? I love watching you demonstrate your creative talents,😊😊😊
More wood finishes
Just gorgeous 😍 I'm no faux finish expert by any stretch but I do try. I wood grained my front door and garage door this fall and tried so hard to figure out how to get that dark shadow in strategic areas. I failed because I was using gel stain and didn't know what to use on top of it that had controllable coverage. It came out fine without the shadowing but I'd still like to know how to get that with oil based products.
Thanks so much for your expertise! You are bomb!
Would that finish work outdoors if the platinum product was used instead of the regular epoxy? This is stunning! Thank you for the video.
Thank you Rhonda. I like the side you made the planks, that looks so realistic. Doing it this way would you still have round you edges or could you have sharp edge? Could you tape the edges and let the epoxy set up for a little while then pull your tape to let it run over the edge? Both sides are stunning, your creative abilities are amazing you are so talented.
You probably could get away with keeping a 90% edge. I would use my hand thought to apply extra epoxy on the edges. 😊😊
beautiful but how practical is this for really using in the kitchen as a counter, my counters are used to prepare food, would this work?
Could this finish be done on a floor? Would it be cost effective? It’s really beautiful and someone could make it truly unique to their taste/style.
I wouldn’t recommend it be applied to a floor with this texture medium, just because of the excessive weight and traffic of a floor. There’s maybe another medium that is durable enough for flooring. I would have to do some research.
@@RK3Designs Thank you for the information and for taking the time to respond.
I'm thinking about doing the same!
I have used a technique that involved painting my subfloor a lighter color then using a dark brown gel stain and a wood grain rocker then sealing it with a fast drying clear acrylic sealer. Yes yes I know painting sub floor is “bad” but the worn and stained pink carpet from the 80’s had to go and it was the only option. It’s lasted for over 10 years. I have no regrets. Anything was better than the carpet. I have pets and kids, my floors get a lot of traffic but it’s held up surprisingly well.
@@deliciousness5688 great advise and way to go thinking outside the box!!!!
I'm looking for the flood coat and utc video you said would be linked below
I apologize. I see my editor didn’t include those links. Here’s the UTC Video:
