@@marysorrells Thank you, Mary I appreciate that!
I have been prepping to pour my countertops for months and have not been able to decide on a color pallet or technique….until I saw this video. This is exactly what I want to do. Stunning.
That's awesome, Ice Fish and thanks for watching. If I can help in any way, please let me know. Keith@KCDCDesigns.com
I like the ghost vein.
Those can really add a lot of visual interest, especially when there's darker metallics in the undertones!
It really is beautiful!!!
I agree with no alcohol at the end. Great job.
Thanks! I think there's certainly a time and place for spritzing with alcohol.
@@kcdcdesigns very true.
you outdid yourself with that piece ... way to go Keith
I appreciate that, Jack thank you!
I love the finish before the alc. spritz. Don’t mess with perfection. LOL
I couldn't agree more, I really didn't want to spritz it. But on the other hand, now people know better, 😆.
Homerun. Another one out of the park. U make it look so easy. Best teacher ever.

Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you, Yvonne!
Love it ❤️
Thank you!
That looks awesome man!! I’m with you, I like it a lot without the alcohol! I almost sprayed some on one the other night and said nope, I like it without it! Great job and thanks for the tutorial!!
Thanks, Michael. There's certainly a time and a place for alcohol, including personal taste.
Thanks for your comment!
like you said bro ... I like it without the alcohol. The prepelants from the spray paints give an excellent finish ... just need to give it time to set up a bit to get amazing effects.
Totally agree, thanks Jack!
Wow amazing sir ❤❤
Thank you!
Wow!!! This is beautiful!! ❤️
Thank you, and see how easy that was! You can do this!!!!!! :)
Lol, so you say! 🤣
@@3BoardChicks Just follow the same steps! I know you got this!!!! 😁
Absolutely beautiful. I agree with you without the alcohol it’s much better. The colors you chose were great. Love watching you Rhonda Mitch I have learnt so much from you all. Thank you for sharing your techniques and know how it’s much appreciated for us who are so far away to take the classes with Rhonda. Stay healthy and keep these beautiful videos coming. Thanks once again Anna from Greece😀😀
Anna, I so appreciate the kind words, which makes it so worthwhile for me to know the videos are helping!
You stay healthy as well and thank you again! 😊
What tool did you use to notch the bondo spreader? I absolutely LOVE the effect it had on the spray paint.
Thanks, and I just used a scissors to create the notches. And I have several bondo spreaders with different notches, to create different effects.
Thank you for your question and comment!
Looks gorgeous. How long before it ambers
Thank you, Cheryl. Epoxy will naturally amber, some brands quicker than others. Using Stone Coat epoxy over the past 3 1/2 years I've not had any turn yellow, just naturally amber like granite, quartz and other surfaces do.
Thank you for your comment and question.
I've been commissioned to do fantasy brown on a dinning table. I'm debating on which to use, I'm low on Art Coat, which did you use, regular or art coat?
HI Tonya, and congrats on the commission!
I only use Art Coat anymore, just because of the low cost difference as well as the peace of mind.
If you're undertones are bright white, I'd go with Art Coat. If they're off-white, I personally would be okay with regular. Also there's many times I will VERY lightly fog the undertones with grays or tans to achieve the right balance with the veining.
Please keep me posted on your project and feel free to reach out if I can be of help. Keith@KCDCDesigns.com
@@kcdcdesigns Agree, agree. I fog every piece. And uv art is the goto whenever using epoxy, I just have more regular epoxy left, lol. Thanks for the feedback.
@@TonyaDLewis you're very welcome!
When I say fog the undertones, sometimes I will very lightly fog over the top of the epoxy if I need to tone it down. I didn't know if you thought I was referring to fogging the surface prior to adding epoxy.
What are the three base colors
Interference Gold (same as Pearl Gold, Ghost Gold, etc.), White Metallic and White Pearl (Just Resin Paste).
Did that answer your question? And thanks for watching!
Hello! Do you travel?
Hi Sheri and that depends. Where are you located?
Hello! I am in Estero, Florida.
@@sheripoole489 Although I would love to travel there, that's a bit too far although, I would HIGHLY recommend Epoxy Resin Designs out of Cape Coral. I personally know the owners, Andrew and Kelly Anne Roberts and they do amazing work!

@@kcdcdesigns Thank you very much! I will do that.
@@sheripoole489 Please tell them I said hi, they're an amazing couple!
Put the alcohol in another room and forget it's there. Alcohol may have a part to play in some cases but generally, I don't like it used so much. Just my opinion. But your work still turned out great. TFS.
I agree with you on the alcohol, Belinda especially with this design. It has its place and adds a lot with some designs and techniques, but I too use it sparingly and rarely when doing the Fantasy Marble.
Thank you, and thanks for your comment!
