Hey guys. Here's what I do now. Instead of using a brush to chop the mixture, I take a new latex glove, scrunch it up and put it inside another new latex glove. I roll it in a ball and use that to do the chopping. No lint, no dirt, no brush strands. Clean.
Hey, Mitch, does marble sometimes have quartz in it naturally? I love the look of the bling, but I think more color variation would be best on our countertops, lol!! 😂 Unfortunately, with kids at home, it's the red stuff that doesn't get cleaned up, and we don't drink coffee!! 🤣
Do not use white! Mine yellowed hard by year two. Like... You'd call the countertops a pastel yellow, not a white. Also, was sent bad epoxy? My island never cured, Despite remaining in my unfinished basement before mixing (not left to the elements) Nothing could replace the several hours of making my own countertops base, sanding, priming, epoxying... I mixed this volumetrically exact to their specs (not by weight, so they said). My sister loves hers, but my white countertops have since been replaced - not worth the headache IMO.
I had the same issue my countertops yellowed like no other by one year. I called Stone Coat and they said yeah there is nothing they could do. I feel bad because I did my neighbors as well and a few other random people the white yellows quick.
Mine too. It was sooooo yellow. Wish I hadn’t done it. They shouldn’t even make these videos, false advertising they know it’s going to yellow bad. Art coat and all….
All epoxy resin turns yellow over time, some brands more than others... there is a good vid on youtube where brands were tested for their UV protection
Possible to do stone coat over old linoleum countertops that are peeling/unsticking? Been watching your videos for a long time and it seems you always start over a extremely smooth or new surface
Yes, you can. You 1st clean the area and pick off things loose. Then use S.C. epoxy undercoat. Tape off the countertop and pour S.C. epoxy 1oz per sq ft to coat areas. It will fill in bad areas (as long as not deep), let dry 24hr then go back and sand the area with 220. Then you can treat it like a new countertop or board, paint, and follow stone coat videos. If your counters are super bad you may want to watch Mike's [Mitch's older brother S.C. OG. Lol] old videos and make entirely new counters.
can you please do a pour like this with adding blue ocean glitter instead of black. I would love to see what it looks like. It's my plan for my kitchen counters & island. TIA😀
Thanks for the videos! I watched the kitchen countertops and that was great! I'm wondering what the edges aren't taped here. I thought the epoxy had to sit on the surface for 3 hours before letting it pour over the edge or maybe I got that confused. Because I also noticed in your other videos the edge was not retaped for the top coat. What is the purpose of taping thr edges and when do we need to do it? Also for 3oz/sq foot is that total for A and B or 3oz of A and 3 oz of B for each square foot? I appreciate the help!!
Ca you tell me why make -up or hair dye stains the epoxy even after I sealed it? my girls just cant cannot stop with that stuff on my vanities. ugh! Should I have sealed it twice? Or used the glossy sealer? thank you.
1 year. I did a white countertop using this product. Yellows within a year. Very noticeable after two years. This may be because I have high output LED bulbs in my kitchen and bathrooms... But I need that output since otherwise lighting in my house is very poor. Aren't LEDs pretty normal by now? I don't now what caused it, but these countertops did not last the 4 to 5 years before yellowing - not in my experience. IMO not worth the headache of making your own countertops. BUT my sister used the same product but chose to do a colored epoxy (still very light) and had lived it for the last several years.
Hey how are you boss I want to cooperate with you. I want to do projects and training with you for Russian Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhstanis, this is a very large number of people
It looks like white laminate with metallic glitter, not qvartz. I had an expensive qvartz countertop and it didn't have metallic glitter in it. I have quartz stones where I live, no metallic glitter in them. their glitter is completely different
Do not do white!!! It will turn yellow even if it’s not in the sun. Don’t do it. I warned you. Mine was so yellow I had to redo it gray. Yes I used art coat.
I really like this with the simple countertop. Im going to order your kit to practice as we're building a new house and want something like this for our counters.

Or just use the glove while still on your hand, torch, throw glove away. It works the same.
Love his enthusiasm. Refreshing!!!!!!
I’m excited and wait to order a kit once I’m back from vacation. I going to redo my laminate island etc.
Mitch, how did you prep the surface? Also, will it hold to backsplashes without adding a thickener?
Please do a deep-dive video on how to cover old ceramic tile countertops without removing them.
It’s already there, you just need to either sift through the channel videos or search UA-cam and it’ll be in the top few.
Thanks guy.

Which packets did you use? I love this finish!
What if your counter tops are light blue?
Great job
Can you set a hot pan on the surface without messing it up

I found a spot I missed with the final epoxy- it’s been 3 days- can I add it ?

Hi guys,what are the measure you used for 24 ounces and I guess 12 ounces part B and 12 part A.
1:52, did you mix the fly?
I think a couple dark veins will make it pop
Can I use the Epoxy Resin A-B (not the Art version) for this?
I think the art version is supposed to have better UV protection to avoid yellowing.
How long before it ambers?

@@joshuavincent820 did you use the art version of the epoxy and the top coat?
@@traviswayne5499 I'd like to know as well

Yes I used art coat.
Why don't you wear a mask when working with the epoxy?
You don't need to. This stuff is crazy low VOC. I never wore a mask when I did mine - never felt the need to.
Wish you'd wear a mask or even let the viewers know that they should be wearing a mask while working with epoxy
You don't need to. This stuff is crazy low VOC. I never wore a mask when I did mine - never felt the need to.
or yellow that they will become in a year or so
Lol, mine was totally yellow after a year.
The only thing I can think of was my LED lights?...
Yes! They do! Even w the art. It’s so yellow don’t do it.
Mitch, I can not email you my info or question. Not delivered please post your contact email
I hope this isn't a stupid question. Once the surface is cured, is it safe to prepare food on?
It the same as a Pour top bar it any restaurant.
I really like this with the simple countertop. Im going to order your kit to practice as we're building a new house and want something like this for our counters.
Don’t do it! It will be yellow in less than a year. I wish I could add a picture of how yellow mine turned.
@@michellesobey1943 did you use stone coat brand materials? and the top coat? I'm curios because I just bought a kit and plan to start in 2 weeks. TIA
Can I do something like this over my blue laminate countertops? what prep would I need to do?
Can this be done with the backsplash in place? Thanks
The fly
Love your videos, but it doesn’t look as though you wear a mask when working. I hope that isn’t the case, but if it is please start wearing a mask! 😊👍
No need for a mask. There's no VOCs.
You don't have wear a mask with SC. Epoxy. No VOC's. It's explained in most videos but he didn't in this fast one.
