Welcome to the channel some of our new team members Derek and Hailey!! Join us for today's video where Mitch walks them through the entire epoxy process. Drop any questions below! www.stonecoatcountertops.com/epoxy-countertop-designs
Mitch has really come into his own. So much of his brother in him but the confidence and teacher has really come out! Your whole family must be so proud!! ❤❤
It's very important to watch this video entirely. A lot of important tips that I learned the hard way (practicing on canvas, no biggy) such as: Do not try to mist the alcohol too late, the divets don't fill in. Also, you can definitely overwork the epoxy. Don't get too obsessed and learn to walk away.
It's really helpful to see the [process as it's happening, when Mitch 'chops', to see the effect he's creating at the moment instead of the result. We end up seeing the result as it happens, but I'm 3hinling there are certain techniques I like, but I'm not sure if it's the alcohol or the trowel smear or the torch. Thanks!!! ❤
Watching from Roseburg, Or. We just finished the practicing, and started one piece of countertop today! Thank you for making it simple Stonecoat. Doing a dark marble dirty pour. It's looking cool.
@@solidsoldier9021 sure, but it get easier as you learn. As Stonecoat says, you got this! We did a half dozen practices. Same basic process and putting in things we liked, and backing off of things we didn't.
I don't like being wasteful. Seeing everything drip makes me think about what I could've done with all that 😄. I appreciate your enthusiasm and the way you teach us in layman terms and encourage us to try this technique. Love that extra wait time result. Phenomenal Mitch. ❤❤❤
@StoneCoatCountertops not very long but I certainly binged the videos and recently ordered a kit from you with the ultimate top coat. I think it's the one that makes it more buff. I have a kitchen table and corner cabinet to test on. I'm getting my house ready to sell. I'm in Kentucky where there's high humidity and big dips in temp from day to night. I've also got 4 cats and 2 dogs and lots of fur. I'll have to create a tent of sorts to keep all the dust bunnies out. I love the creative expression capabilities of this technique and leaving the new buyers with something custom. I'm needing to cover a poker green countertop. Is it possible to use that as a background after sanding and cleaning? Thanks Mitch. I don't want to make a mess and thought using the spray paints technique would be helpful for me. Also, it's got a short backsplash that's staying. I watched the black countertop sample you did using sprays this morning. That was great info. Thanks again Mitch. Your table looks just like Onyx and I loved that video. The round table with the ocean waves was another great one. I could go.on and on ...like you do 😄❣️
I started watching your channel several years ago and learned how to do some very nice things on my own. Anyway, this is my question ... I intend to fabricate my own bathroom vanity tops from old oak slabs I cut from my own trees. The one thing I'm concerned about is a bathroom countertop has a tendency to have water lay on it longer than a kitchen may. Will apoxy discolor where water drops linger longer ... similar to water marks on an end table?
One more question! It might be a weird one. We are doing a narrow top, and we love to play dice. How long should we wait for it to cure before our heated game of ship captain crew so the dice doesn't leave marks?
Use the Ultimate Top Coat for maximum durability. A Stone Coat epoxy coating cured over 65 degrees and mixed properly shouldn't leave marks with warm dice. Let me know if you have any other questions. The epoxy is fully cured at 30 days.
Have you ever used a batter dispenser for an exotic pour? It has like a trap door on the bottom. I was thinking and dreaming about it. Was just curious if it would work for like thinner veins maybe. Plus you can stop the poor and start the poor whenever?
Yes please do!! I ended up buying one the other day and I really want to try it but I have to finish up on 2 other projects today. Please tag me in the video if you do it!
We teach not to. Treat epoxy countertops like you would any other surface like granite for example, you never cut directly on that either so same rules apply! The epoxy countertops are scratch resistant but not scratch proof
Right! Reason is it's industry standard to have Part B as the hardener so if we switched them it would cause a lot of unnecessary confusion. Great question
not an ignorant question at all! It's a term we picked up from the acrylic world. It's when we mix up all of our colors individually and then pour them all back into a single bucket then pour the whole thing out onto the surface. vs pouring each color out separately 💯
@@StoneCoatCountertops perfect, thank you. I’m getting ready to pour the Caramel Marble on my countertops tomorrow. I just didn’t understand the terminology. So, with this pour, do I use 3oz per sq/ft or 4-6oz?

Those are some very helpful tips. Many people don’t watch the whole thing and wonder why they made a mistake along the way!
She is very relatable 😂😂 and asks all my questions!!
Hailey is the best! Thanks for stopping by, let me know if you have any questions
Great results. I love these videos where Mitch spells everything out. Happy Easter Mike, Mitch and the rest of the team.
When you mist it reminds me of natural lava flow stone. Great vid.

greetings, where you nervous?

GREAT JOB GUYS AND GAL,🙋🏾
I would be VERY interested to see you do this with a geologist that studies natural rock formations.
Great one Mitch👍

Thanks for the great comment. It is truly appreciated 👍 How long have you been watching? -Mitch

If I was doing a job for a customer in Cincinnati, this would be perfect Bengal's colors.

Thank you!! Where your in person course? I live in south Florida.
Can you do a video on the proper way to tape off a wall on existing countertop please?
Also thinking you could alter the colors and create the best Eddie Van Halen guitar table!
Love your show! Ready to order! Do you still make diamond dust?
We do!!
Have you done the waterfall kitchen counter? do you have any instructions on that?
How much do you need to mix up to create a sample board? What would the dye/powder ratio would that be? What size sample board do you recommend?
I make my samples on 12x18 or 24x24 - mix up 3 ounces per square foot for non dirty pour techniques. When doing a dirty pour mix up 6 ounces per sqft.
Do you guys still do classes or workshops in Oregon.
No, I go out to the classes at RK3 Designs check them out here: rk3designs.com/
Where do you get the cleaner in the red bucket that say Gutter?
That is a plunge can. I put 91% isopropyl alcohol in it for cleaning the wet epoxy. I picked this one up from U-line

Are your products sold in Canada? I want to redo my round 45" table top.
What are you using to clean your gloves?
Have you ever used a batter dispenser for an exotic pour? It has like a trap door on the bottom. I was thinking and dreaming about it. Was just curious if it would work for like thinner veins maybe. Plus you can stop the poor and start the poor whenever?
That's a fun idea maybe we should try it!
Yes please do!! I ended up buying one the other day and I really want to try it but I have to finish up on 2 other projects today. Please tag me in the video if you do it!
Can you use epoxy on already installed granite countertops I would like to change my color in the kitchen?
Absolutely you can! It just needs to be prepped correctly. Cleaned, sanded, and a bonding primer. Then you can pour right over it 😁
Not that I would but just curious. Can you cut on epoxy counters?
We teach not to. Treat epoxy countertops like you would any other surface like granite for example, you never cut directly on that either so same rules apply! The epoxy countertops are scratch resistant but not scratch proof
Do you have an online course to learn?
can you tint the white undercoat?
Why don't you make part B part A since it is always suggested to pour B in first?
Right! Reason is it's industry standard to have Part B as the hardener so if we switched them it would cause a lot of unnecessary confusion. Great question
Hola me gustaría saber que paso con mike que no lo volví aver precentado el programa
Mike happily retired to spend some well deserved time with his lovely family!
She's a nervous little bird,. From the walking dead😁😊
GREETINGS, D.I.Y.ers, and those contaplating, trying 🙋🏾
Don’t mean to sound ignorant but what is a dirty pour?
not an ignorant question at all! It's a term we picked up from the acrylic world. It's when we mix up all of our colors individually and then pour them all back into a single bucket then pour the whole thing out onto the surface. vs pouring each color out separately 💯
