RK3 Designs is a learning studio focused on teaching how to create beautiful epoxy finishes using Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy. These tutorials include epoxy countertops for kitchens, bathrooms, and much more. This channel provides tutorials for DIYers, contractors, designers, or artists.
Rhonda Dracoulis Founder and Primary Instructor
RK3 Designs started as a way for Rhonda to showcase her creativity but has blossomed into a way to help others find theirs. Her obsession with painting led her to start refinishing furniture and kitchen cabinets. She found customers wanted a nicer option than laminate but more affordable and customizable than natural stone, which lead her to countertop epoxy! Since then, she’s helped thousands of students, from across the country (and even Canada eh?).

Absolutely love the last little dirty pour. It just added more dimension.
Thank you!!
Lol... you're braver than me, I never ask for opinions on my art; in fact, I don't even like talking to the buyers. I find it too uncomfortable. And that's what agents are for.
Every time I add to a piece, with each new layer I cringe, but it always (almost) turns out. Love your designs, and am starting a new series that incorporates some acrylics. Will be ordering yours.
I’ll bet your art is absolutely gorgeous. I really don’t consider myself an artist LOL I just try to help people be able to do cool designs and work with the epoxy product as Easily as possible. ❤️❤️
I just found your channel a couple days ago, and I’m so glad I did! It’s great how you explain everything as you’re doing it - I’m learning so much!
Beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished piece. I would love this on a coffee table. Loved the dirty pour!
Stunning!
Thank you!!!
Fricken awesomeness!

I saw the colors and decided to drop in. Turquoise is my color too! I’ve never done resin. This is beautiful! I love turquoise and copper!

One of your best pours to date. Just Resin has some of the best powders and pastes bar none. Not doggin’ Mike. I have his stuff as well, but JR is on it. Like your new trailer music at the end.
Thank you!!! I absolutely LOVE JR!!!!!
I love it and all you do can't wait to see it finished
Thank you!! This was just a sample for my client. Hopefully she loves ❤️

I really liked the dirty pour part! I think it would make a cool counter or table like that! 💙
Would that not be gorgeous!!! I may do that!! ❤️❤️
@@RK3Designs So lovely!! 💙💙
Fantastic! Love it!

Yes! That is amazing.
That’s a beauty Rhonda I love it 👍
Thanks! 😊😊

Perfecto! This is gorgeous, rich and elegant looking! As I have been watching your videos, more and more its coming to me this is what Id love to do for a living 😍 You are so inspiring with your designs and techniques 😉🙌
That is so sweet. If you would like more information on starting your own epoxy business. Check out our website www.RK3Design.com and look at our Pro Class. Tremendous amount of information we give you guys. We’ve trained literally hundreds of people from all over the world. Would love to have you!!!
@@RK3Designs I did have a look at this course you offer and see it is very in depth 😉 I am interested for sure! 😍
I, too, would like to see it in the house. These are my favorite colors and my tile has accent blocks with turquoise and browns in them. My theme is Southwest and I'd love to see this top in place.
The customer actually ended up adding more square footage to her custom countertop so we ended up leaving this in my shop. I’m actually going to be doing this in my own personal home so I will be making a video of that. It is still one of my very favorite color combos!!!
Beautiful color choices❤️
Thank you!!
Oh my Rhonda! You and Kenny killed it! I absolutely love it! Btw...I’ll be seeing you soon.😉 signed up for your May Pro Class today. Can’t wait to meet you and Kenny!
Thank you!!! I saw that!! Can’t wait to meet you!!

Yes. I like the dirty pour best.
Love the design and the dirty pour 👍👌

Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback and you watching!

I would love for you to do a tiled table top with epoxy.
How to cover tile?
It's beautiful 😍
Thank you!! 😊😊😊
Hey lady! Thanks for the name drop!!!
Because y’all are the best!!
Love the dirty pour Looks awesome!
Thank you!!
Love it
Thank you!!
Do you do floors? Help with old hardwood? Cabinets? Love watching and learning.
We don’t do floors at this time. We are so incredibly busy, that would be a whole business on its own. 😊
beautiful! yes, to the "dirty" accent!
Looks good. U guys ever did epoxy over sand? I want to create a sand floor with some red/green rubbies in the corners, for my jaccuzi cave. I want it to look like a "jungle cave"
Yes. You can mix the epoxy with sand a create a paste to be trowel on. Just make sure the area is prepped correctly and no moisture is present when you pour.
Beautiful design, do you have a video of the turquoise piece in the background?
I don’t have a video of that exact finish. That was created by students in one of our classes. But it’s the hammered metal technique. I have several videos on that. 😊

I love the dirty pour accents. Awesome finished product.
Would live to see what this looks like with the satin finish. It's beautiful as is, and is about what I'm looking for for my kitchen.....but I'd like to see the final result
This was just the sample to show the customer her color options. If she decides to go forward, I’ll post some pictures 😊
@@RK3Designs i know. :) Was just dying to see what it looked like satin. I'm on the fence as to if i want satin or shiny in my ktchen. As is this is gorgeous I'm just curious how much the UTC dulls the metallic and glitter
I was pleasantly surprised the first time I used UTC. I thought it would dull down and hide all the mica and glitter. It absolutely did not!!! To me it actually seems to make it look much more realistic 😊. Plus the durability is such a benefit! ❤️
@@RK3Designs i just may have to try it , at least on my island first. Question, let's say i decide I'm not a fan...will a clear regular topcoat over the UTC take it back to the look of without the UTC?
You can sand it down and pour another clear flood coat, but unfortunately it won't be as glossy as it was prior to the UTC.
❤️❤️❤️
What type of board did you originally start out with particle board cabinet top, 3/8ths" foam board with fiberglass mesh? I have countertops that were built in the mid 70's and are covered with what I believe is either a laminate or a formica. Above the 4" backsplash there is also 3 rows of 4"x4" tile mounted on the wall above them, so the countertops & backsplash would need to be done in place and then the tile done as an accent for the counters.
We use 3/4 in MDF when fabricating countertops. You can definitely go over existing material such as laminate, natural stone, etc., just will need to use a “bonding” primer first. We use 1/2 in MDF for backsplashes.
What was in thé "spray" bottle?? it didnt quite understood..... Beautiful result 👏👏👏
Hey there. I mix 1/4 oz. of mica powder with 8 oz. of isopropyl alcohol. We sell the mica powders on our website www.rk3designs.com
Thank you so much for thé reply 👍
Love the dirty pour accent. What is the wood board, mdf ?
Thank you! Yea it is.
do you torch the resin after you have sprayed alchol on the countertop ? I mean not immediatly after, let's say after 5 minutes when it has stopped moving?
Only if I notice there are bubbles. Usually spritzing alcohol will release most of the bubbles. 😊
The isopropyl alcohol 91% is that what you get in a bottle that you buy? Where Is this a sold ?
Yes you can buy it over the counter at most grocery stores and drug stores.
What would you do to make it a lighter mix. Would you begin with a lighter base? ..
I would use a lighter mica and a lighter brown dye.
dirty pours and multiple layers if done well cannot be beat. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
Love this a d I would
What copper did you use?

What’s the color of the turquoise mica your using? Please mam….
Blue Green Mica from Stonecoat. 😊
what is the turqoise color used in this please?
nevermind found in the other comments
Hi, You Never Answer My Questions
Can You Tell Me Please What Kind Of Black Paint Did You Use
In The Wood When You Started The Video Please ???
Thank You For The Video.
I apologize, I have so many comments to read that I overlooked your question. I prepped the MDF wood with Behr Latex wall paint, color Broadway in satin sheen.
@@RK3Designs But Látex Paint Later Will Peel, Thank You.
I Just Checked With Stone Coat, Tha Is Not Latex, He Is Using Enamel, Enamel Will Stay Forever...Thanks.
Too diagonal in design. I think you should have tilted it and let the pattern run a bit, but unique color choices.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!
Colors are beautiful, combination is perfect...diagonal design ruined 😢. Does not look natural
Thanks for the feedback. 😊😊
