That is gorgeous
Wow...really cool!
Thanks! That one was a challenge but really turned out cool, and exactly what the customer wanted (whew, lol).
Looks great Keith...love it!
Thanks!
An aspiring epoxy resin artist here, inspired by your good work
I appreciate that, thank you!
Have you already been working with epoxy, and what types of projects do you like working on?
Thanks again for your comment!
Absolutely Beautiful swirling !!!❤ Happy New Year !🎉
Thank you so much, Kathy and Happy New Year to you as well!
Wow!!!!! Classy finish.
Thanks, Mary and I agree!
It amazes me what you can do with this stuff!
Keith. Feel like I haven’t seen any videos from you in forever. Beautiful as always. Hope you are healed from ur pickle ball incident. ❤
Hi Jessica and the injury has certainly slowed things down, especially trying to edit with one hand, lol. The should is healing, it's just a VERY slow process, and thank you!
Awesome work on this, the undertone colors and 3 whites really help this look natural. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of your best so far!!!!
Thank you! The bright white (Titanium) really helps the metallic and pearl stand out.
Love the tutorial, Keith!!❤️❤️
Thank you!
Oh and merry Christmas from new mexico
And a Merry Christmas to you as well, from Nebraska 😁.
Absolutely stunning!! Tyfs.
Thank you! 😊
Amazing Kieth, absolutely beautiful. How you sand before clear coat and not take gold off?
Thank you, and great question!
When using the Bright Metallic or Fast Dry spray paints, or other colorants that remain on the surface, I will apply the clear/flood coat during the "open window" when the epoxy is at the stage of "blue tape tacky". And for me, in a controlled environment of 72° - 74°, it's somewhere between 9-11 hours.
That's a great question and thanks for asking! Because you are correct that you will scratch the colorants which will end up showing through the clear coat (or remove them as you mentioned). And in this case, with that much gold, it's really important to remember that. If there's only a few accents with those colors, I will sand around them.
@kcdcdesigns thank you brother, and thank you for taking time to reply
Love love,LOVE!!! the gold spray paint, did add it into expoxy?
Thank you! The gold spray paint I sprayed into a paper cup so I could pour it onto the surface, instead of spraying it. Did that answer your question?
Thanks again!
Merry Christmas KCDC🎄🎄 you nailed it!! Stunning ❤
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for walking us through the process you did, this turned out beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and yours
You're very welcome and thank you!
And Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Merry Christmas. Looks awesome.
Thank you, Dave!
Very nice! I’ve done this with Rustoleum’s metallic copper and silver. They create stunning effects.
Thanks, Chris! In the past I've used them all as just accents, this is just the first time I've used that much, as well as manipulating it. But because they remain on the surface, they also scratch easily, with scratches that will still appear through a flood coat. Have you discovered the same?
My solution to this is, is that if there's too much to sand around, I will apply the flood coat during the "open window", so the surface doesn't have to be sanded first.
Thanks for you comment!
Merry Christmas, Keith!! I love the basic marble without the black and gold (that's really pretty with it, also) but the plain marbled look is what I am trying for with a small project for my SIL....
Thank you! And yes, just the marbling could easily been a finish on its own!
I just finished another one that I marbled instead of striated, and it too looks really pretty!
Thanks again for your comments!
Hello keith, unrelated question to this video. When using stone coat UTC gloss should it have a "orange peal" look to it or should it be smooth like an epoxy finish? Thanks for the video on UTC it helped alot!
Hi Elizabeth! Yes, the UTC Gloss does have an unavoidable orange peel/texture that you can typically see, but not feel. We've not been able to find a gloss topcoat with the smooth shiny finish like a flood coat will have.
awesome! how do you keep the whites from yellowing? everything ive done it white is now yellow
Thank you!
None of my white/whiteish countertops have "yellowed" over the past 3 /12 years. Yes, they've likely ambered some, but I've not had a customer call-back from "yellowing". It's crucial during the prep, to be sure you're allowing any white paint to off-gas at least 24 hours (4 hours with Stone Coat Undercoat Paint) and using only white dyes, and pigments that are specifically designed to be used with epoxy. Also, being careful not to overheat the surface, especially when torching or heating, to not overheat/burn the white dyes and/or other pigments. I still have white sample boards from 2020 that have not yellowed. If I put them beside a freshly poured (and similar) white finish, there may be a slight color change from ambering, but not "yellow" as some have shown pics of.
Also, being sure you're using a brand of epoxy known for it's UV resistance, such as Stone Coat's Art Coat epoxy.
I cant find titanium white in stonecoat websight.
SC doesn't carry it.
