Thank you so much for taking the time out to make this video. I appreciate how you went through each step showing exactly what to do. I have never done an epoxy counter top, but watching your how to video gives me the confidence that I need to get the job done right. Thanks once again, I'll be waiting for your next video for sure. Great work and yes the counter tops came out beautifully.
Respect for leaving a comment to the author. I would be grateful if you look at my content and rate it. In one of the videos, I made a sapphire ring from a titanium pipe on a lathe.
Hello! Your youtube page content is fascinating. Not only does your attention to detail on each project go above and beyond, but your filming and editing are masterfully done as well. Best of luck to you in your work, it is an art.
@@LeggariProducts Thank you bro! And for understanding that I spam a little in the comments to somehow wake up UA-cam algorithms))) Good luck in life and more health))
Question, if the entire counter is unlevel, could you do a layer of self leveler on top of the tile before you do your epoxy? How would that change how you did the application? Would it help or hurt or not make a difference?

Hi. How do you get those tiles on the wall to look the same as the counter top?????? I don't want to keep the tiles on the wall as backsplash... Help??????
In this case, you'd want to remove the tiles and coat a backsplash separately or re-install a tile backsplash you like. Here's how you coat separately - ua-cam.com/video/PyAIKugTz0E/v-deo.html
I didn't see in the video priming the tile before the flood coat. So the primer is not necessary before the flood coat when pouring over old tile? after the flood coat, not necessary eider to prime before the final epoxy coat?
You can use primer but it isn't necessary as long as you don't wait too long between the flood coat and decorative coat. And no, the pigmented flood coat acts as a great "bonder" between the porous tile and decorate coat of epoxy.
We pulled the tape once the epoxy had set up enough and the epoxy/design flowed over the edge-pulling the design with it. The key to getting a perfect epoxy edge is removing the tape at the right time so it flows at a rate that the edges get covered but not all of the epoxy flows over.

Looks great I must say. You mentioned "Day 3" Do people want their house in Dis-aray for days and is your multi day process cost effective over a quick easy couple hour granite replace? Granite is cheaper than it used to be. Plus your finished product is only as good as tile is installed
The price of granite has increased like crazy plus months out to install. We have heard this across the board and seen it. Most epoxy installs take 1.5 days to complete.
We do recommend removing the sink before installing our epoxy but you do not have to. Please contact our customer service for guidance on how to install our products with your specific project in mind. Thank you! 1-844-LEGGARI (534-4274) customerservice@leggari.com

It typically takes 30 minutes to an hour for the epoxy to set up enough to pull the tape. Timing depends on different variables including surrounding temperature and thickness of epoxy. This is all explained in the tutorial videos we include with every Leggari purchase.
The first thing we spray is 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol. This creates cells in the design and disperses the epoxy. Once that evaporates, we spray denatured alcohol to pop any micro bubbles that might be in the epoxy from mixing. This allows us to avoid torching the epoxy and the risks associated with that.
@@LeggariProducts Thanks. what does "created cells" mean? I'm going to use a clear coat, no color, no design. I want to hightlight/display the beauty of the ceramic tile beneath. Problem--the tile has a big bull nose. I don't see any way to "flood" that. Can I brush on a thinner coat?
Bondo is an all purpose putty commonly used to fill and strengthen imperfections. We use it to fill cracks/grout lines and shape unique countertop edges.
I have a house that we are in the finishing stages of. I chose to build my bartop and top it with a rock looking porcelain tile, put a decorative wooden edge on it and do an epoxy pour of approximately 1/8 to 1/2 epoxy pour over it to make it have a level top since it will be our eating surface. I never dreamed that it could not be done. A lot of my research has led me to believe this. It is brand new and I obviously don't want to grind it flat. Can I get some of your thoughts and possible solutions for this problem? The tile is made to be rough and to look like rocks. I got it at Home Depot and the name of it is MSI Neptune Gold. The tiles are 17.6" by 26.12" inches each. We did 1/16" grout. Help, please?

I was about to make so many mistakes... Great video, so glad to find this.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching💯
Another beautiful job. Just love watching the transformations.
Thanks for watching and commenting👏👏👏

How would you do the backsplash?
Un travail toujours impeccable mais que de discours!!!!!!

Thank you very much sir, greetings from Indonesia
Wow that’s incredible I want to see the video in the kitchen,great job
The fingers !!! Awesome technique

Can you do the same on the backsplash so it matches the counter?

i want to do a small bathroom floor i want to bondo the tiles whats the bondo you use ?
Any suggestions as to where i can find someone in the Memphis area to do this??
I like when y'all do the black spray paint and hit it with the alcohol.
Could you tell me please,what did you use to cover grout?
Thank you
We used bondo to fill the grout lines on the edges and applied a flood coat to fill the grout lines and create an even surface on the top
I watch your videos all the time can you use this on corian counter tops.
Yes you can! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for spreading your knowledge!!! :)
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful! 🌞🌱❤️
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Do you have to do two separate coats/layers? Why couldn’t you have done top coat from start?
I didn't see how you did the face of the tile counter tops. How did you get the epoxy and design on the front face of the tiles?
We pulled the tape once the epoxy had set up enough and the epoxy/design flowed over the edge-pulling the design with it. The key to getting a perfect epoxy edge is removing the tape at the right time so it flows at a rate that the edges get covered but not all of the epoxy flows over.

Looks great!

What colors did you use for this project
Could you confirm please if you are using alcohol Isopropyl or your are using Denatured Alcohol for avoid bubble?
What's your view on changing the plywood and materials in price wise for the whole job as opposed to the process that you're doing on this video?
How often do you break tiles?
How much do you think I would spend on supplies to do this technique?
Almost seems easier to rip off the countertop and make a new one
Amazing 👍🏻
Thanks!
Do you have to take the sinks out?
We do recommend removing the sink before installing our epoxy but you do not have to. Please contact our customer service for guidance on how to install our products with your specific project in mind. Thank you!

isopropal AND denatured? Which when? 70%? 92%?
The first thing we spray is 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol. This creates cells in the design and disperses the epoxy. Once that evaporates, we spray denatured alcohol to pop any micro bubbles that might be in the epoxy from mixing. This allows us to avoid torching the epoxy and the risks associated with that.

Very 👍
Thanks!
That looks like a 1970’s mobile home cheap countertop. Interesting technique though.
what is bondo? Am in the caribbean so am not sure what that is here.
Bondo is an all purpose putty commonly used to fill and strengthen imperfections. We use it to fill cracks/grout lines and shape unique countertop edges.
@@LeggariProducts same thing like the one you put to fill a screw hole on a wall?
What’s wrong with the tile?

Never mix or use cardboard for bondo. It'll soak in the liquid resin and weaken the mud. Ask any body shop if you doubt this.
👍Thanks!
Wii that grinder remove a horrible fit epoxy coasted tile? Apparently the guy thought he knew how to epoxy a tile counter.
