🔴Did you see the durability testing at the end of the video, what durability test do you want to see on the next video?👀
Hot shower steam in small bathroom?
Dang that’s durable! What would happen if fingernail polish spilled?
The top coat has yet to stain! I've cleaned up sharpie, dried cool-aid off my dining table with the top coat on it. Also my table is by the woodstove, it can handle the radiant heat no prob!
@@Kreative_Rainbow good idea!
Amazing durability. No question that a surface that wasn't protected would have been destroyed
This is what my kitchen counter needs. Your sister is so lucky to have you for a brother!
I really appreciate that you show the prep work. So often videos skimp over this part and that kind of devalues how important that step is. This definitely makes me take prep so much more seriously ☺️
So glad to hear it! We can not wait to see your work, if you have any questions please give us a call. You Got This!
Thanks so much! Have you worked with epoxy yet for a diy project?
Yes it was the meticulous prep work for me!
You're such a good teacher! And the camera person also did an amazing job. Thank you!
First, I have to say that you have the ideal personality to present info like this. On top of that, you clearly love what you do. I somehow find your videos amazingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for this and for showing that patience leads to perfection.
It is sweet how proud he is of her sister.
You just gave me the inspiration and option of a doable + affordable alternative to what I had thought was my only option - replacing a very worn out laminate bathroom countertop. I can't thank you enough for your very thorough and understandable step-by-step video. Well done, sir!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! Please if you have any questions let us know my friend. We can not wait to see what you create, You Got This!🙌
These are the type of instruction videos needed. Most people including myself want to do bathroom or kitchen countertops that are fastened with back splashes. I have held off on my projects because of the backsplash. Fighting gravity with the product is an issue for me and probably most other people. Many videos show a flat panel separate from whatever cabinet it will be on top of where control isn't an issue.
Mitch you are the Bob Ross (painter) of Epoxy Countertop layering. This was a pleasure to watch and learn. You definitely know how to build and invoke confidence for the at home DYI's out here. Thank you, I will be a subscriber.
Janice thank you so much for the sub! We can not wait to see what you create please let us know if you have any questions.🙌
My sinks & counterpart is all in one piice of ugly pink marble
!! Both are & can sinks be done like the counterpart to look like new?
I thought the same thing about Rob Ross. “A happy accident”.
24:43 It's attention to little details like coating the underside of the counter edge to help make the job be more durable is what I appreciate in experts like this guy. Thanks for taking the time to do that small but thoughtful detail.
Your prepping is perfection, I couldn’t do it better myself. You really pay attention to detail, no skipping corners. love it.
It so nice to see family work together and I love the vanity must do
Pro tip: Sand everything BEFORE you tape & plastic up everything. It's NEVER a good idea to have dust particles, from sanding, all over the tape, plastic, etc. This way your area is literally clean for pour PLUS when you pull off the plastic and tape....no sanding dust will get in your new epoxy. That tape around sink has to be pulled off while epoxy is wet so sanding dust is going to get in it.
Yes good i was going to say the same thing. Also remove the sink. It’s an easy removal and replacement. Not a whole day of work like stated.
Thank you for showing all the prep! It really drives home how important prep is. Watching a lot of these videos they skip over that step and the plastic and drop cloths just show up. Great video
That is one HELL of a labor-intensive process!! Mitch, you are VERY GOOD at what you do!!!
I appreciate the details about the prep work. I want to epoxy my countertops, but I am worried about screwing it up. This gives me more confidence.
Great Comment!!!! One of my videos goals complete!!!! Thanks so much for watching, let me know if you have any questions. I'd be more than happy to help!
That is WONDERFUL!!! We're so happy this helped give you confidence. Let us know if you have any more questions!
So true!
You got this!
I use to worry a lot about messing up projects but took a page outta Bob Ross’s book “Happy Accidents” ✌️♥️🙂
I was insanely stressed out and worried about money. Then I found these and this guy is skilled so I’m going to watch these and do the steps and enjoy his training. Thanks sir for your time and sharing this stuff not alot of people have dads that help them or teach them how to do this kind of stuff. If you don’t have kids I hope you get to someday. The world could use more good people like you.
Hello and love you from Iran 🇮🇷
Welcome my friend, we are happy you are here watching our videos! Thanks so much, do you have any questions?
Another fine video from Mitch at Stone Coat. You say that this is easy, and it is easy for you because you’ve done it so much. But as I get older, I am admiring that those Quist brothers are not afraid of hard work. Nice job!
You Got This Wayne! I promise or I'll come out and repour for you! Let me know if you have any questions!!!
@@mitchquist I’ve learned more about the preparation from your channel!! Thanks
Oh man, that epoxy under the front counter edge... Flippin OP pro tip right there 🤌 as an apartment maintenance tech, the number of units I would walk into with that area just bulging and crusty dusty, normally we'd smooth it out and move on unless the counter was toast but it was always so nasty thinking about what that stuff was exposed to and had growing it...
Yes!!! That's never a good time who knows what's under there. If you gonna do a job do it all the way!
I've rented a place with a sink top just like that and it would fall apart every time I cleaned it
Would you want to see an apartment remodel?
Under kitchen counters where dishwashers are is very appreciated. The warm moist steam of DW is not kind to particle counters. Any kind of sealant for that 24" wide, maybe 6" deep zone is a true kindness.
This video was very detailed and so helpful! My fear of messing up my counters wasn’t as bad after following this step by step.😅 Thank you!
I used just the stone spray to refinish my old fireplace. The fireplace started as a dark brown grout with rust and brown stone color. Went over the entire surface with the sandstone color x 2 coats to even the color base and provide the grout color. Then once dry, I taped the grouted surface area to prevent over spray. I used 4 colors of stone textured spray, individually taping and spraying each stone, varying color to mock field stone. That was many years ago, and it still looks amazing even after a ton of fires! (FYI this is near the field stone front of house and it matches!) Amazing product that lasts!
Finally a video with backsplash in place! Yes thank you!!
Thanks so much for dropping a comment! Did you see how durable the countertop is just after a couple of weeks? I did a durability test at the end!
They have done a couple. Trust me I watched them before I did mine lol
Great job, looks amazing! I did the UTC on one of my projects for the first time, studying videos I say worked great because I have 0 lap lines.
I've never seen anyone explain anything so much in detail you're a good teacher. does it really smell a lot
Very likable guy, and he seems to enjoy his job so good to be him.
So amazing I wish I had the health and strength to do this to my kitchen and bathrooms. My home is 23 years old and nothing had ever been updated until 2 years ago that we put down some waterproof flooring took out all the wall papers and painted but I have had 4 surgery in the last 2 years and and everything stopped as we can no longer afford to put any more money into the house with all the medical bills. I pray to God I can at some point see my kitchen and bathrooms done.
If I was your neighbor I’d come over and help you! I need the practice and experience I love doing this type of stuff ❤
I LOVE your total attention to the small details! Take care of them and it all falls into place!
I'm watching this video I can see it this was done two years ago. I love watching this man work. I can't wait to get my products and epoxy my kitchen counters. 😢😢😢❤.
I was checking out stick on floor tiles and stumbled on your video 😂. I loved your video, you took us through the whole process in hourly timings and the reasons for everything you did, very explanatory. Great video 👍 the vanity unit looks amazing 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 now back to my research on stick on tiles 😂😂 I’ll be back to check out your other videos 👍🙌 🇬🇧 London
I really appreciate you going through each of the steps in detail; especially the prep. I learned a lot.
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful! If you do have any questions please let us know. You Got This!
Dude, you look just like Bill Bergey!
That's a compliment. I wore his number every year I played.
Not sure if I'll ever do this..but wanted to thank you for your detailed instructions and showing what looks like in a real..lived in bathroom ❤
Great tutorial, Mitch: Easy to understand, all points covered, and it left me feeling like I can do this!
Thanks so much for the great comment!!!! My video goal is complete! Let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to help get a project started with you
Great job! I think it looked more like a real stone countertop when it was glossy. I’m wondering if before the second epoxy coat (if leaving glossy) you could add more of the stone flecks? That would give it greater depth like a natural stone.
Epoxy coatings and resins are just fantastic technology. Great result.
My goodness you make this look so easy. And its probably the prep work that's the hardest. I've been watching you all for years wishing that I can do this to my old counter tops. One of these days I will muster up the courage to do so. Nice work I wish you was my long distant brother that would come and do my counter tops...lol
I liked it before the topcoat; just my preference. I'm not going to be laying keys and change on it and I like the high shine that looks more modern to me. The satin finish gave it an instant dated look like you find in the big box stores counter selections. Great job!
Mitch I love your presentation style! Fantastic instruction & product. Awesome it was for your sister - who is talented by the way 🎨
Thank you so much! Stay tuned for more amazing content headed your way.
Thanks so much for the great comment! 👍 My sis Melinda is the best!
its all about that prep work! thank you for showing in detail the tape and plastic work. SUPER HELPFUL! You guys are all awesome and do incredible things with your products! thank you for the videos!
I really like watching what you have done to plain countertops. I did my kitchen counters 2 years ago, they came out wonderful. Have since sold that house but where we are now, I making plans for doing the same thing again.
I'm sharing this to face book. Dam you rock bro
Thank you so much for your support🙌💪 We would love to see your work
Thanks so much!!!! That really helps the video grow here on CZcams!!!! We really appreciate you sharing the video! Let me know if you have any questions about the video, I'd be happy to help
This is the exact video I needed that answered my question I commented on another video. I just bought my first house. I've watched so many hours of your videos that I feel like I got a Degree in "You Got This!" lol. I feel completely confident in tackling my first project. I'll be buying all my epoxy from SCC. My question is do you have other recipes for this type of project? Maybe different spray on stone looks? I have earthy brown/tan/sand tones in my house. Thanks again for the detailed step by step.
That is how its done...great prep.well application. Fantastic result. 11/10
Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Glad I saw this. I’m considering doing this on my kitchen countertop, which is so dated looking, especially in this age of granite, etc. countertops. I’m just not able to afford going the route of replacing with a stone countertop, which would easily be $2500 in my case. Looks like epoxy might be just the solution.
There's also Epoxy that don't need torched, just use Isopropyl Alcohol spray to remove the air bubbles 😁👍🏼
I think your awesome brother and you have so much fun seeing their faces of something so new
Thanks so much for watching! How did you like how the top turned out?
Thanks for the great comment, we are happy you enjoyed the video!
What a beautiful turnout! Nice to see somebody take time and pride in their work thank you so much!
Yrs ago I used the stone spray on my vertical blinds. I loved how it looked.
So excited to see this video because this is the exact reason I purchased the stone coat export and white undercoat. I didn’t purchase the kit because I have a different color scheme (navy and grey). Looking forward to receiving my package (which I need to check on).
This is wonderful to hear! Let me know if you have any questions, I would love to help out anyway I can. 😊
When we did something similar to a friends counter, we let it sit for about 30min and used a small brush to lightly drag it across and gave it some “grain” look that most rocks have. Looked like crap to start with but ended up awesome after the clear went on.
Cool idea! I'm going to try it. Thanks for sharing!
Any chance you would share a photo of that brush drag result?
I love watching your friggin videos. I am learning so much. I was raised with five brothers. I learned a lot, but you’re teaching me more. Thank you doing my bathroom first the countertop in there, then my kitchen.
You have a fantastic way of explaining the process step by step by step, so that something intimidating like, "refinish your countertop" becomes cool this simple step." Thank you!!
Amazing work and results!! Question... would it have been possible to paint the sink to match the vanity top? Thanks!
Primo fellas, absolutely mint!👌
Big upgrade to this old school vanity! Thanks for watching Adam!
Thanks Adam!
I really enjoyed your step by step on getting this job done. I’ve yet to see a video that give details like yours. All info was included in yours , greatly appreciated. ❤️
THIS IS EPIC
Ayyyyy
@@goobgo no
Thanks MemeDragon69!
Love watching your amazing talent.
Could the color be changed? Thanks
Ok you just answered my question
Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! Let me know if you have anymore questions, I'd be happy to help!
👍☝️👌💪
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment this really helps the videos grow! Have you worked with epoxy yet for a project?
Loved the video. God bless you and your family. ❤️❤️❤️
This is so calming, it’s like listening to Bob Ross narrate as you watch
Amazing video! Question, how does the coated countertop hold up against shower steam? and there is amazing durability with the top coat applied. I was wondering if someone wanted the glossy look and you did a second coat of epoxy instead of the top coat would you have the same durability or would it more prone to scratching? if it is more prone to scratching is there a product that is like topcoat but with a glossy finish? Thanks!
Another nice one Mitch!
I appreciate the emphasis on prep. No such thing as over prep!
A question for SCC: have you any experience using your products over surfaces painted with “Behr chalk paint”?
Can I treat a chalk painted surface as undercoat and apply a clear Art Coat followed by Ultimate Top Coat?
I am definitely not a pro but since you received no feedback in a year guess it's ok to share my experience. I agreed to help a friend redo her kitchen countertops. She had a very large kitchen and wanted the faux marble look with veining. She informed me she did the cleaning, sanding and priming before I arrived. We worked for several days using 5 gallons of product. It actually looked nice. We were pleased with our work. Within 2 months she called me in tears, the product seemed to be lifting or loose in many areas and along the edges. She lived in Texas, I am on the east coast so I couldn't just drive across town to hopefully troubleshoot the situation. She asked me what "I" did wrong! Finally her husband grabbed the phone and explained she actually did not properly prep the surfaces. No sanding or recommended primer plus she used the chalk paint and sealer as her base. I do not know what brand chalk paint she utilized when she initially painted the countertops but since Mike mentioned chemical reactions (or something similar), between the recommended products I presume that was the culprit. Personally I wouldn't risk mixing paint brands. They literally had to rip out their original countertops and start from scratch.
Thanks, another great video;
Been watching these with my co-workers on lunch breaks, on a tablet, sharing them with the Boss,
People are finally starting to move again;
Apartment turnover means your products would really make an old place look nice again, and definitely more modern.
Can't wait to try them; I'm usually just the drywall & tuckpointing guy, but we've all decided to join together & use your products, after watching these videos.
Between all of us knuckleheads maybe we can "get it done son" !! As the older guys always tell me.
Couple of my cheap computer desks could use an upgrade like this as well.
OMG! You just don’t realize how much I enjoy watching this video. I learned, enjoyed and gonna save money and time by doing this diy. Love It 🥰 thanks 😊
Outstanding results Mitch! I need to find a project to use Stone Coat Epoxy on. I am always inspired by all the videos no matter if it's you Mitch or Mike. Keep the inspiration coming!
Great feedback! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great comment! We appreciate you - You Got This!
I agree with this 100%
Thanks so much! I love this comment
I did this to my guest bathroom not long ago. I added some gold flakes to the first light layer of epoxy. It looks fine. Not perfect and definitely needs another epoxy coat. However, I can’t stress enough how important it is to wear a GOOD mask and have some form of ventilation. My bathroom is the same as this one, small with no window. I breathed in a lot of spray paint and I can’t be too sure, but like 3 days later I developed horrible bronchitis. I had it for like 3 weeks with the absolute worst cough and hard to breathe. So be careful.
I'm so glad you mentioned that you can use a heat gun! You make it look so easy but I know that's from years of experience! Thank you for another great video!
Nice video
Man I love your videos. I'm gonna do stone coat for my kitchen when I do it.
For my bathroom I want to do a similar thing you did here but my bathroom has a one piece stone counter + sink bowl, could I do a stone coat top on that if I remove the plumbing and if so, how would I get the stone coat to bond to the stone? It's the UGLIEST 70's green color.
Attention to prep work, detail, and the expertise of this guy is amazing, more so than the finished product, which is amazing on its own. Good job. I'd hire you any day!
WOW!!!!!!! AWESOME transformation! GREAT JOB!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
Great video and very timely! Updating my kitchen now and you have saved me from replacing 22' of laminate countertop. If the laminate has a few tiny nicks (1/4") on the edge what can I use to fill them in?
First, we clean and degrease the laminate or Formica, then sand with 60 grit, next apply our bonding primer (XIM Bonder/Primer), and then the epoxy process.
Love that you did this video! Can you please next do a countertop & sink with a integrated sink in the countertop? Thank you 💫
Very good idea! We did one like that on one of our live shows here👉czcams.com/video/Rx_lUaXhD5k/video.html It was one of our 1st live shows. Mitch will be headed back on site to film an updated epoxy tutorial over cultured marble with an integrated sink. Be sure to sub so you don't miss that one!
Yes! I'll use another color scheme too. What colors should I use?
@@mitchquist I have one locally if you want it...;)
If it’s possible to do a translucent white & opaque white swirled with thin diamond dust and clear veins on top that would be awesome! I would love to see a way to plus up plain whiteish marbled with the clam shell looking sink and the stone spray doesn’t match my decor. Thanks for the idea consideration. 😊💫
great description as you proceeded along the job throughout well done you
Such a great video & he explains everything so thoroughly!!! Looks fantastic!!
Oh yes, I'm thrilled to see this! One question: did you wipe down the sink after the ultimate top coat or does it just slide down the porcelain? Beautiful results!
I used just water on a paper towel. The Ultimate Top Coat cleans up with water while still wet
@@mitchquist thank you!
@@dawndue6503 you're welcome 😊
How is the “top coat” different from the uncoated epoxy? Is it harder? Is it used on flooring as well?
Loved this step by step tutorial on how to use epoxy on your countertop and backsplash. It was nice seeing your sisters art as well and her reaction to the project. Subscribed.
You did a great job🎉and doing it for little sister❤its AMAZING...your Mom must be so proud of both of you kids 😊
As a painter, I appreciate the detail you go into on prep...... Most DIY videos would just say "Prep the surface" and bam, it's done. Just out of curiosity, what would be a ballpark figure for what you would charge per square foot? Really helpful video Sir !!
My problem is the math works out to be more expensive than total replacement.
Thanks for watching folks, let me know if you have any questions! 👍
Good job on the video Mitch! We are proud of you!
Good work Big Mitch!
Are you brothers with the other guy? You guys are so similar
@@jeremyrfk we are brothers!
@@mitchquist knew it! Haha, great video btw. I’m installing my kitchen cabinets and next week I’ll be making my own counter tops out of MDF and Stone Coat Countertops epoxy kit. First time, wish me luck!
Thank you for providing additional information concerning the process. Very helpful for beginners, like me.
Looks like my old bathroom! Blessings for reusing/upcycling the vanity top!
I like the shiny look before adding the UTC. Is the top coat necessary? Or is there a way to keep it shiny?
I preferred it when it looks glossy too.
Where can we see more of your sister's art?
Great question! Check out Melinda on Instagram @melindafavroart or her website www.melindafavroart.com
I was admiring the shower curtain and then he said it was his sisters art!
Just discovered you.
Love the explanation gave me the confidence to try it in my bathroom....
These guys are so cool, I'm always happy after watching one of their videos and inspired to do more.
My brother you are a good teacher thank you.

Recuerda de Stone Coat Epoxy - ¡Tienes esto!
@@StoneCoatCountertops Muchas gracias.
Great vid👍I also have the marble look, non-formica single piece combo molded sink/countertop..same process ❓
Same prep steps as this video except you will be prepping the sink for epoxy. I would take out the tail piece on your drain to allow the epoxy to drain out the bottom as it self levels down the sink bowl. Reinstall the tail piece after you apply the ultimate top coat and it has dried! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@StoneCoatCountertops 👍gotcha, thx...yeh, sure don't want a sticky tail piece, lol...n will definitely mask the drain hole tooooo😊✅🤞🤞🤞
Thanks for stressing the prep work, it really made the difference, great job!😍
I am absolutely 100% doing this. GREAT video and obviously an amazing product.
Wish you would show how to use your product on tile. Would you have to apply a cement base on the tile first?
Here's a tile floor we did! Yes you'll want to level quick first.
czcams.com/video/WJXfqzH3JwU/video.html
New on-site Epoxy over tile video will be getting filmed early to mid December! Hang tight and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss that one! I'm going to turn the front edge into a rock-faced edge with bondo then fill the grout lines and apply level quick and you'll never know you had tile countertops down below. What type of sink do you have?
@@mitchquist undercount
@@durangarc You can keep that sink in place and still pour epoxy if you'd like
Algorithm boost go!
Go go go!
