After watching many videos, I was under the impression I had to repour the entire countertop just to get it shiny again. Wow! What a lifesaver! Thank you!!!
It is 2 in the morning and I can't stop watching your videos. They are addictive. I want to start doing this work!!!!
I feel your pain I've watched so many of them!!
I love his explanation
I love this look. I need my bathroom done and my kitchen?
Yes you should totally do it or we also have installers. Give our office a call we are here to assist along the way! 970-639-9338.
Great demo on de-glossing!
Videos are the best. so informative. Thank you
Would be interested to see what you'd make of polishing a black countertop. Doubt if you'd get a perfect finish without a great deal more effort and time...
Quick question. Did my first epoxy pour. Marble stlye countertop. There is one section that I missed and has bubbles. Is there a way to just spot fix that area without having to do another top coat?
It looks like you lost the surface webbing pattern when sanding. I think I’ll clear coat over mine before polishing. Nice instruction and pretty result.
some close-ups would have been nice to see the difference between the two halves

They show a quick close up at the end
@@natehughes1618 ok. Thx
Since I completed my pour, about 7 months ago, I can see that it has some small ripples in it. I was hoping to use my Dewalt DA with a fine grit sandpaper (400-1000 or higher) and give it a nice even smooth polishing. When I do this, will the detail underneath the top clear coat still be visible or will it create a satin finish over the top of it? Before I poured it, i placed some items on to of the base coat, but under some of the 3 colors I poured into it. Then added a final clear top coat to even it all out.
Could you use this same technique on wood plank countertops? I want to do them in my kitchen this summer but, don’t want that super glossy look of epoxy. And I don’t necessarily want to do 1,000 coats of poly. Also, would you change to “wet” sandpaper when using the water technique?
Yes you can! :) and yes you can change to wet sandpaper for that.
Couple of questions:
Can you use a pad on your sander to polish the counter? Also, i have one dull spot on my counter, can I just polish there, or do I have to do the entire thing?
Do you have any suggestion to change matte epoxy countertop to gloss?
Hi, would you suggest the same technique and tools with both your floor & wall resins?
Thank you so much for your video! I have a question- I hired a person to do epoxy countertops for me and its been a nightmare- (we ended up finding out he has several cases against him in court and an F rating in BBB. He is supposed to deliver my redone counters next week, but the 1st set he did had terrible bubbles in a portion of the counter (the color of the wood underneath stuck out like a sore thumb w/ the white epoxy!) and the edges were still super glossy. I just talked to him again to set up a day for him to bring the redone counters amd it sounds like he never removed the shiney edges again. His response was "they are cured " as in, its too late. At this point, I just want to be done with this guy- can I just sand the edges myself with the sanding block you mentioned? Or is there another step I would need to do after that?
I am so tired of this guy talking to me like I have no clue.
How do you buff the edges?do you use the buffer machine on it?
Does this technique work with most epoxies?
learning something everyday... didnt know i could choose to wetsand if the finish is not 100% cured.
I have a yellowing on my epoxy countertop. Do you have any chemical that will get rid of the yellow and bring it back to its original other than sanding it
Will I have to repolish it ever so often?
Is this the travertine kit? It looks beautiful.
Thank you! This is our Premium White Marble FX Poxy Countertop Kit.
How do you buy the Polish? Website is terrible
what kind of polishing pad do you use? always have trouble figuring out which one to use.
Nothing specific! Just a standard polishing pad!
wet sanding always messes up my sander
Polishing 101: wet sand and go through the various grids all the way to 2000 or more. Start with the finest grid that will give you the finish you're looking for like 800 or 1000. The only time you need to start with a coarser grid is if there is d defect that needs to be remove and than you have to work up all the grids: 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, etc. If you skip any you will end up with less than acceptable results. Polishing also has to be done in steps. This video is not an example of a professional job.
@Carlos Sommer has anyone done a comparison of wet sanding then buffing really well vs a new top coat? I would be really interested because there's always the likelihood of dust or something ending up in the top coat and I'd like to truly know if it could be possible to fix JUST that spot. I want to know if a part of the project can be buffed to match the glossy finish.
I feel like with all the sanding needed for epoxy projects and the sheer size of many countertop jobs this HAS to be a relatively common issue and everyone's response to dust in the final layer can't just be sand it down, pour again and cross your fingers there's no dust lol.
I had a similar thing happen on a big dining table I just epoxied and I want to fix it properly, but I don't want to have to put a clear coat on only to have it be messed up again by dust
I tried to look for the wax on your site wasn't able to locate it?
You can find that listed under "SHOP" and then under "EPOXY TOOLS"!
I found it here: www.countertopepoxy.com/envirowax/

Sanding epoxy without a respirator mask is a really bad idea.
website is horrible
