I can't believe how gorgeous this is! I can't wait to do my entire kitchen like this. Way to much dark gray veining in the world right now. This is PERFECT.
Absolutely love this! Been watching a lot of tutorials from Stone Coat Countertops, but Mike just goes completely crazy with fractures and veins everywhere. I don't see counters that are that busy being popular in my area. What seems to be most in demand is more subtle quartz or granite. So, this is perfect!
Thank you!! 😊😊😊
OMG!!!! I cannot wait to try this!!! I thought I want the simple white marble but this is giving everything I want!!!
Thank you!!!n Go for it!!
Please next time show the finished product after it has completely dried. Great work. Thank you!
For anyone wondering about the ratios of for the different colored resins, I just did my kitchen countertop and here is what I used. 50% of the resin is white dye, 30-35% white metallic, and 15-20% diamond dust. Pattern came out great. Thanks RK3!
Thank you for posting!!! I’m so glad it came out nicely for you! 😊😊
Hi. Do you think you could just mix everything together and then pour it? Wondering if that would be easer
@@mudslingersdav4309 No, that would not work at all.
Thanks for sharing! How has it held up? I’d love to do this, but I’m nervous the white will be too prone to staining. Thanks.
Epoxy does not stain, plus there is a whole second pour that is just clear coat.@@danilo352
This is hands down the nicest one I have seen! This is the exact look I want, thank you for the tutorial!! ❤️
Kimberly Bacco you are most welcome!! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! 😊
Yepp thats it. have watched every video on countertop epoxy before I do mine. Have decided less is more if you want to live with it and don't want to walk in the room and think "where is that countertop taking this room". I want the entire room to be eye pleasing as a whole and this is it. Something I can live with for a very long time. Had the idea in my head but you gave me my sample board. Thanks so much.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for watching!! This is one of my favorite finishes for sure!
Just stunning and whomever edits your videos is awesome. Professionally done.
Thank you so much. I have a great team for sure!
Thank you, Rhonda!! You are the best! This is exactly the look I was trying to achieve. Now I can give it a go on my counters. I'm super exicted and really appreciate you taking to time to do this. Happy Holidays!!
Thank you so much for your feedback and inspiration for this video! I wish you could see the sample in person! It's really pretty!
Awesome job Rhonda. Nice to see the whites & Grey's in another alternative, rather than marble. The sample board turned out beautiful, and looked pretty easy to recreate the recipe. Thanks for your help and awesome tips. Kevin -

Beautiful work!
Very cool, love the simple elegance look 😍😍😍
Naptime Creations thank you! It is very elegant for sure 😊
@@RK3Designs 😍😍😍
Lovely and something I've been thinking of doing but have been afraid. l think I can do this and be happy with it.
This is EXACTLY what I was trying to find! Thank you! It’s Beautiful!!
You are so welcome!!! Glad I could help 😊😊
LOVE THIS! The subtle finish is AMAZING! I want to do the same but with dark grey and black - kind of a blend of granite and soapstone. Thank you for another great tutorial!
Oooh, I bet that would be awesome!!! ❤️
Great in depth videos. I love the oxidized copper in the background.
Thank you so much!!! 😊.
You're beautiful and I love your hair.
Now that that's out of the way.
Thank you so much for your knowledge and delivery.
I'll take pics when I'm done.
You are toooooo sweet!! ❤️
Lovely!! I love the white with the bling!! 💖
Wish you could see in person! It's really pretty and BLINGY!!! LOL
@@RK3Designs Me too!! And take a class with you, too! Iowa is a long commute!! 😍🤗
This is my favourite finish to date!! Love it Rhonda!
One of my very favorites!! Thanks for watching! 😊
On my table your overhead shots are grate , thank you 🤟🏻🥰💋
You bet!!! Thanks for watching! 😊😊
Hello RK3 Designs, saw you with Stone Coat people. Glad I found you!!! I am in East Tx and wanted to do counter tops in kitchen and pantry and my bathroom. Will be following you to get some ideas. Thanks. Reno won't be any time so but want to get everything straight before I do it!!
Hey there!!!!Thank you for watching!!!! ❤️❤️
This is a real winner!
Christian Flat Earther thank you 😊😊😊😊
This really pretty. My husband is gonna love this one. I think this is going on my counter!
I did it! I used your instructions but had to vary them a bit because after I mixed it up I realized I had didn’t have enough of the white dye, (as I had done two smaller sections) But It was a blessing in disguise, as it turned out looking way more realistic than the other two! It was kind of scary, as I had to improvise, and add veins of clear epoxy, but good old gravity did the rest! Even after I tell my friends and neighbors that it's epoxy, they almost don’t believe me as it looks so much like real stone, espcially with the matte Ultimate Topcoat. Thank you for all your videos, etc.! I have watched lots of countertop videos for the last couple of years and it was so worth it!
This gives me hope! I'm still afraid to try.
I am going to try also. I would love to see pics of how yours turned out and any tips and tricks?
I bet this is beautiful in person, difficult to see on camera. Can't believe you stopped when you said you were going to!!! Love the overhead shots really able to view better hats off to the camera-man.
It does look so amazing in person!!!! You can really see the detail. And I'm so proud of myself for walking away!!! LOL. Paul is a great videographer...I give him all the credit!
Thank you so much Rhonda 💗 This is the look I want for my countertops. This video is invaluable!
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you found value!!
Really beautiful thank you ❤
THANK YOU for the great explanations along the way. Those little tips ( cleaning hands) go a long way in making it easy and enjoyable to attempt something like this yourself. Have you ever tried blowing glitter out of the palm of your hand? It makes a very subtle effect without being overpowering. I thought with this piece it might have a nice effect.
Riidher thank you so much! Yes actually, I’ve done that with the glitter and your absolutely right! It would look cool on this sort of finish. My problem is it looks like a little fairy blew up because I get that stuff EVERYWHERE!! 😂😂
I just did my first epoxy bench top. And I'm in love with this product (stonecoat counter top epoxy resin). I've watched this demo so many times, I thought I knew it off by heart. But I was so nervous, and I made a couple of little mistakes but got back on track. Overall I love the outcome. I will work my way to kitchen countertops after I practice some more. But sooo Happy
I’m so glad your project turned out nicely!!! SCC is a great product!! Good luck with your kitchen. You’ll do great!!
I love you!! You're like the Rachel Ray for kitchen countertops. Which I love!! I like art and construcion more than I do eating.
I o loved the end results👍
Thank you!! 😊😊
Gorgeous. First time viewer. Really enjoyed your different techniques!
This was a great video! Thanks for sharing. Awesome design and clear instructions.
The effect is very realistic.
I would like to see this with a honed finish. I may try it!
I actually put the Ultimate Top Coat on to get a matte sheen. Turned out amazing.
@@RK3Designs I’m binge watching your channel. I cannot stop! Just amazed. I’m about to start my first project using SCE products. Now I want to epoxy everything.
Stunning!! Want to do my countertops, so many pretty options on your channel❤
Thank you!!😊😊😊
Good to see more subtle effects. My wife would approve.
thank you. Yes, very subtle effects are super popular. Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome Rhonda 👍
😍❣️This is stunning! I love love love your videos! I hope in the near future you have time to show us the epoxy marble technique on a vertical surface I want to try it so bad, however, I'm nervous even after watching SC Countertops tutorial. Anywho keep up the amazing work! Blessing Beautiful
Thank you so much for watching. I really do appreciate it. Are you wanting a big verticals surface? I’ve really never done that as a project. You have to add thickener and that often changes the color. I usually will pour on a flat surface then attach vertically to the wall. 😊😊
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Stephanie L thanks ma’am! 😊
Oh Rhonda this is stunning...it’s my new favorite! 💙 I need another kitchen with more counter space. 🤣
LOL! Thanks!!!
Stunning! 🤍🤍🤍
Gorgeous. Can’t wait to try!
This looks amazing!
So very beautiful
Thank you! One of our most popular 😊.
I’m super curious about how to counter the yellowing of the resin over time.
Everything I come in contact with is sticky! Good tip!
I like your videos you did a really good job
Thank you so much!!! 😊😊
That was beautiful and look easy to do thank You!
Ur Great work
I am epoxy flooring contractor India Punjab Amritsar
I love this look iv been watching a lot of videos for a finished like this for my coffee table thank you not sure what I have to buy tho
omg this is exactly what I want!!
This is pretty much what I want for my counters, so thanks for showing it! (Should you mention that they should wait a bit after cleaning hands with alcohol before lighting up the torch?)
You bet. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for sharing I can do that God bless
You bet!! Have fun!
Hi Rhonda, I love your channel and of course it goes without saying StoneCoatCountertops epoxy! You do an incredible job and I can’t wait to see you next month.
Awesome!!! I'm so Excited to Meet you!!
I love this look! I was visiting with ATD during a class. We were talking about what to do with my new kitchen renovation. I’ll try this one on a big piece as you suggested. Thank you!
This is a really fun finish! I think there’s so much you can do with it for sure!! 😊😊
Is very Nice hello from Spain
Wow!! Hi there! 😊😊
Wwwoooowww.....my GOD....AMAZING....thnk's
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!!
awesome
LOVE THIS!!
I would of loved to see your counter completely cured and how the drippings are remedied.
How would you create this same affect but making the counter top black?
Thanks for the video, very well done. Can this be done over an existing laminate countertop?
You bet!! Just make sure you properly prepare the surface. I have a couple of videos on prepping. 😊
This IS perfect 😍🤩!!!!
Thank you!!! I so appreciate all your feedback!!! 😊😊😊
Hi, you are such an awesome artist! It's a great piece of art. May I ask how long do you think this will last looking 'new'? A few years? A decade?
Epoxy countertops will last a lifetime when cared for properly. Not installed where they are exposed the the direct element, high UV exposure, cleaned with a mild non-abrasive cleaner etc. If they do start to show their age, it very easy to sand slightly and repour a clear flood coat. We use The Ultimate Top Coat on all our countertops for added durability. Hope this made sense. 😊
@@RK3Designs thanks! Wondering can a hair dryer be used instead of a heat torch? I'm looking to do a small bathroom countertop project, about 4' wide but has a hole for the countertop (20"x16"), so the surface isn't that big.
Or even a heat gun, not a heat torch...? Thanks!
@@mathalwaysii a torch works the best because it gives high heat very quickly. If you have a strong hairdryer, you could possibly get away with it on a small surface. 😊
beautiful! I'm thinking of how I can do this without making a mess with epoxy..
I have a couple of videos on prepping for a pour in place. 😊
@@RK3Designs yep..when the hubby saw the epoxy running over the boards, etc....he was like "NOPE." I've been thinking of how I can do this with less mess.
@@RK3Designs I found this! ua-cam.com/video/A4JtQWM5jdw/v-deo.html
I’m very concerned about doing white. We would love to do it, but we’ve heard horror stories about yellowing and we definitely don’t want that. Will this yellow?
All epoxy will amber over time. BUT we have a FABULOUS new product coming out that is GUARANTEED not to yellow!!! Join our newsletter on our website and we will be releasing more information very soon! www.RK3Designs.com
Has anyone done this and can tell me if the white holds up against staining and other marks? Thank you so much!!!
Wow!
It seems that the panel is VERY wavy before the top coat is applied. Can it be sanded smooth and before adding the top coat? Seems it might look more "real" that way...OR...put on a heavy clear coat? Thoughts?
This piece didn’t have a flood coat. Are you getting waves in your flood coat? That could be caused by air movement as the piece is curing. You can definitely sand before applying the Ultimate Top Coat if that’s what you’re referring to. I’m May be confused on the question though.
Love this look Rhonda. I want to do this for a basement kitchenette and wonder how it would look with just a hint of gold in there somewhere. Your opinion?
I think that would look stunning!!! You could mist with gold mica powder mixed with 91% alcohol or put a very fine gold vein. Either would really look good! 😊.
@@RK3Designs Do you think a gold glitter dusted on just blown out of the palm of the hand would look good as an additive? I love this one but not sure I want to do the fogging or misting...do you think it would still look nice that way?
Great subtle color choices! I'm still in the phase of convincing myself that I can attempt it. My only question is I've seen most videos that have used respirators because of the fumes. Isn't that required or do you have a great ventilation system in your work area? Thanks for sharing!
Stonecoat Epoxy zero VOC and very safe to work with. No respirator needed 😊
What kind of board are you using? Is there any special kind of wood for doing this amazing job?
We use MDF. If we are installing in a wet area, we use a water resistant brand called MEDEX.
I have an ugly vanity counter would these products work on resin type formed counters? It looks like like a cheap man made quarts. I’d like to mix in a smidge of navy blue.
They would!! Check out our website www.RK3Designs.com for a full line of epoxy products. We offer free shipping on all orders over $100, and same-day shipping when orders are placed before noon. Don’t hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions or need any help.
Hi Rhonda. Beautiful creation. I wanted to know if I could do this same white, gray with hit of gold treatment on my brown granite countertops?
Yes. I’ve actually done a countertop with gold. Turned out amazing. Just prep your granite correctly with bonding primer before you pour the epoxy. 😊
Love this!!! After the epoxy drys, what do you seal it with? I'm a newbie and I want to do this right. Also what are all the products that you used in this video?
After the first coat dries, I put a flood coat which is the same product just without any additives. This clear cost gives you the durability. With the epoxy I use, Stonecoat Countertop, no sealer is required. It is very scratch and heat resistant and can be sanitized.
Here you go! www.rk3designs.com/tutorial-supplies/white-granite
Excellent Video! We are trying to achieve this exact look over our brown granite. Did you suggest we change any of the steps since we are applying to granite? Did you have any videos on this application? Thank you in advance!
You’ll want to prime first with a “Bonding” primer. I use XIM. Then proceed as normal. 😊
@@RK3Designs thank you so much!
Exactly what I’ve been looking for, subtle white. We did the ceramic tile kitchen countertops and to some it’s a bit shocking to them, even though I went very simple. We encountered one problem, that you clarified in this video that I’m so thankful for your tips. We’re getting ready to pour an 8’ island, and I’m in love with this white granite. I’d like to know what you’re pouring on? We’ll be pouring on top of a 1 1/4” plywood. Any suggestions?
I’m so glad you like it and I could help. I poured over MDF.
@@RK3Designs thank you Rhonda, you’ve Ben such a great help. I’d give anything to be able to attend your classes.
@RK3Designs could you pour over 3/4”plywood or does it need to be MDF board? I’m building a play kitchen for my grand daughter and thought this might be interesting to try.
I have an integrated backsplash would this work ok with that?
Rhonda, thank you! How would you add a little coffee/java color to that? Extremely subtle?
A couple of ways. You can add just a tick of color when you lay down the epoxy at the start. Maybe mix a little up in a cup and meld it into the finish. Or just very lightly fog and fracture like I did with the gray spray paint.
So if i'm not removing my countertops and there is a 4" countertop splash there, how would you recommend doing that? just the same way let it go all over and keep the corners, etc. clean?
Rhonda, I'm having my beach house built in Belize. I have my stone coat Epoxy & RESIN ready. I love your technique, however you didn't mention you used RESIN in your pour? I'm confused, do I not need resin? Did I miss you saying Resin?
If you have Stonecoat part A&B. You’re good. Part A is the Resin and part B is the hardener.
Hi Rhonda! Is there a quick list of items to order for this White Granite look? Just want to be sure I order the correct items. Thank you so much, this is amazing!!
Hey there. We’re working on getting a link to our resource page on my Website.
Here you go! www.rk3designs.com/tutorial-supplies/white-granite
@@RK3Designs Yay!! Thank you so much!!!
@@RK3Designs Hi again! Starting my project later this evening and quick question. In the video you mix epoxy with SC white base tint. Is that the same as SC white epoxy undercoat? Does that replace the Alumilite? And how much white base tint do I add to epoxy? Hope that makes sense and thank you so much for your help ")
can you epoxy over a table that has been epoxied once already?
You bet. You’ll need to sand thoroughly before you repaint and then pour the epoxy!
What would I use if I didn't want any gray in it? Do they have kits for just the plain white with diamond dust and glitter?
Yes. You would order just the Art Coat, white opaque dye, white mica powder and Diamond dust. Let me know if you need help ordering the products. 😊
This is exactly what I'm looking to achieve with my kitchen granite countertops however my granite goes vertical up the backsplash of our counters also. Don't think it looks possible to do this.
Any suggestions you might have Rhonda?
Is the backsplash integrated with the countertop? If so you can let the epoxy set up a bit before you apply to the backsplash. It will be difficult to achieve the same look as the flat surface. I would maybe do a design that you can apply and let dry before you add the epoxy. I have a couple of videos on that on my channel. 😊
I don't want any color in mine at all. If I didn't want any color in it but I want some white Shimmer effects could I stop with the two white accents you did and just chop that in and then do the top coat after that? What I really want is bright white countertops with a bit of Shimmer
You bet!! That would look fantastic!
Thanks! It's amazingly hard to find epoxy gun in pure white. And with some sparkle in it forget it LOL. You're the first one so I'm thankful for that other lady's question because I want it even more simple than that and I didn't know what I wanted to purchase and now I do!
Love this! It’s exactly what I’m looking for. How long did this take to cure and does it need a top coat?
Hey there. I would give it a good 4-5 hours to dry. Yes. This finish will need a flood coat. I would actually suggest two clear closets for durability in a high traffic area.
RK3 Designs and for 76 square feet of counter space how much of the epoxy, mica powders, base coat and clear coat would I need?
Great job, what about yellowing?
I've never had an issue with yellowing. I'm also using SCC new white base tint! It's amazing. Also, if your concerned about yellowing, I would use the SCC Art Coat instead of the regular SCC epoxy. It has more UV protection.
I have the regular epoxy already can I begin with that then put on the art coat over the regular as a flood coat? Then finally the ultimate top coat over it all to prevent yellowing?
This is the subble look i want but with some gold or tan veins! Im gonna give it a shot. Ugly counters so dont have much to lose right?
You can get some really pretty effects by very lightly fogging with a metallic gold. 😊
That looks great! Very similar to what I want. I already made my order from SCC and just got the epoxy and white dye, no powders. Could I acheive a similar effect with just alcohol and spray paint? I was thinking of using the grey textured rust-oleum, I think I've seen you use it on other projects. Thanks for your input!
You could achieve a finish similar however I’m not sure about the textured paint in this particular finish.
@@RK3Designs thanks!
Rhonda, thanks for all your help. i am getting ready to start my project and i'm very excited. I am doing my Stone Coat "over" my current granite countertops. I bought the recommended bond primer but is there anything else i need to know? I will not be removing my counters, so have to tape around my sink. any suggestions on that?
and can i use 99% alcohol? I have ordered the 91% also but it will get here in 3 weeks -- but the 99% i can get next week. Thoughts?
80% of your success will be how well you prep your area. Make sure you over prepare and take the plastic well. Epoxy has a way of sneaking through any gap or gap. Taping the sink is a good idea. I would remove the take a couple of hours after you pour. Just remember, by leaving the sink in place, you’ll never be able to remove it without potentially damaging your countertop. Good luck and have fun! 😊
That looks absolutely beautiful!!! 😍 Can something similar be done for a black countertop finish?
You bet!! I've got several videos on doing black granite/marble. Turns out beautiful!
@RK3Designs how about black leathered quartz look?
Do you need to add a last full coat of clear epoxy over the color or is that the finished product?
Yes. I always put a clear flood coat over my color coat for durability
Nice video . Can you apply epoxy on drywall
Thank you. Are you wanting to apply it on a vertical surface? You can but would need to add a thickening agent. Also, you would want to prime good before you poured.
I’m ready to order my supplies, thanks to your video. I do have a question, does epoxy yellow over time? Or will it be forever clear?
ALL epoxy will Amber over time no matter what brand. I use Stonecoat Countertop epoxy which has some of the highest UV additives on the market. When doing anything white, I use their Art Coat with the maximum UV protection. Actual yellowing of a countertop is usually caused by the color additives used to tint, and react with the epoxy. The natural Ambering could take years but constant sunlight and certain chemicals can speed the process.
@@RK3Designs how do you apply the art coat? Also what do you recommend cleaning with?
You’ll use a 1/4 in nap roller. I just clean with a gentle non abrasive cleaner that doesn’t have bleach in it.
I'd love to do this but worried about the white color changing over a short time. I saw that it will amber. Will leaving the base coat white instead of the natural gray help? Thanks
I would like to know this also.
me as well. Did you end up trying?
@@charry468 No, because I did read the whites turn yellowish. It's too much work to go through to have it change into a beige. It sure looks beautiful when first done though.
Beautiful!!! This is what I would love to get in my counter top. Can I do this technique on formica??
Absolutely! Just make sure you use a good bonding primer. I really like XIM Bonding primer.
Hi Rhonda. Great video. Do you think the "NEW White tint" is more colorfast than the previous tint?.. It seemed to yellow after a short time.
Louis Louis absolutely. I love this new tint! I’ve had zero problem and the fact you use so little is a game changer!! 😊
which yellowed for you Louis Louis. The new white? i want white counters but I'm nervous about yellowing
Hello, I 'm going to place an order with the list from this tutorial. My question is I see that the list shows "deep silver" but under the list of additives I just see "silver" would that be okay or is there somewhere else I should look for deep silver? Thank you
The silver will work just the same. 😊😊
Hi Rhonda, I am super inspired, this is gorgeous ! Do you have a link so I can buy the materials that you are using, I checked stone coat countertop and I couldn't find the white base tint or Rustoleum costal grey, please advise and thanks in advance.
Thank you!! The white base is the Alumilite white opaque dye. This is all I use now and I LOVE it. You can get it on the SCC website. The spray paint I get from Home Depot. I have had people tell me some colors aren’t available at all the stores. Any light gray and be substituted. 😊
Here is the link for the supplies list! www.rk3designs.com/tutorial-supplies/white-granite
Hi Rhonda! Late viewer but I do have a question: Do you do a clear top coat with the UV anti-yellowing feature? If so, do you recommend the matte? Amazing look! I want! I want! I want! Thank you!
Yes. I love the Ultimate Top Coat!!! Provides so much protection and durability. My favorite is the matte as well 😊
Hello. If i dont have access to stone coat epoxy can i do this with regular epoxy resin like MAS table top pro or MAS art pro? 😊
You should be able to do this finish with most epoxies. Just make sure you don’t torch unless you’re sure it’s not flammable. Different epoxies may have shorter open times
SweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerT!
