I've been working with Stone Coat epoxy for about 2 yrs. I've watched thousands of hours of videos and only now am I tackling my countertops. I have done several tables, and 3 cabinets, and many sample boards. My 1 pour in place counter came out perfectly, but with experience, I knew I would adjust the edges with precision before pouring a top coat. It is stunning & perfect, but those 2 years of practice & experimenting made the end result possible. I couldn't have paid anyone else to do what I did for myself. I will do my 7' x 4' Island last as each experience teaches me more. That amount of epoxy is not something I can afford to mess up, so I'm keeping it as simple as possible for that pour. The lessons you've learned will serve you well for your next attempt. Keep watching videos by RK3 Designs & Artists Till Death & you'll learn SO MUCH MORE than you could ever do yourself. Then practice! You Got This!!! â€
You have a lot of patience to work at it for 2 years before tackling the counters. Iâve been working with epoxy a little more it is just fascinating all the things you can create and itâs so much fun!
As someone who has black with white speckled real granite counter tops, I would have been perfectly happy with attempt 3. You say too white, I say no more loosing things after setting them on the counter top. I swear what I have now is like the infinite void, if it is smaller than a dime; forget about it as soon as you set it down and look away it's GONE!
I have the same problem!đ I just bought a house with a small kitchen with no natural light and BLACK countertops!! It wouldn't be so bad if they had installed lights under the cabinets. I'm going to put up track lighting. I can't see anything on the counter at night!
Wow! Quite the journey! You learned it on the third try, but you always do sample boards before doing your counter. I was really surprised that the epoxy ran over the edge at all. It looked like the round over went up a little bit before I dropped over the edge, almost like a small speedbump. Dirty pours generally require a large, tape dam all the way around the edges and you hold the epoxy on the main surface for a couple hours to thicken up like cold syrup. When you release the tape, the epoxy hold its shape when it pours over the edge rather than running over in straight lines. You are absolutely correct in building your own counters from MDF. Be sure to double up around the edges, so that your counters will look like they are an inch thick, rather than a half inch thick and donât forget 1/8-1/4 inch round overs. Finally, color with a combination of paints, inks/dyes and powder. The different materials do an excellent job, fighting against one another, which causes the brilliant effects. Stone cold may have started the trend, but RK3 and Artist Till Death are the masters of making the natural granite looking counters. Follow their tutorials and you canât go wrong.
First thing. I love your honesty with using the epoxy for the first time and showing the learning curve. It is obvious you did your homework with research with Rhonda and Mike's/Mitch's channel. You are not alone with first time nerves, especially with all the info out there and trying to keep track of all of it before making your first pour. I always recommend to do several practice boards to get used to the material. Great job with the problem solving and process you took. I think they did turn out well and hope you are proud and they look awesome with the backsplash (excellent call).
The information sure is overwhelming. I was so indecisive on the techniques I wanted to use after seeing so many that I loved
@@angelajonesdiy Completely understand. I see that all the time in class. It is good to be able to stand back and say it looks pretty badass. You done well.
Iâm going to do this the top of a kitchen table. Thankfully Iâm just going to have it be all white like my countertop. Should be easy enough. Thanks for you video.
Well I thought I was ready to pour my countertops. I gotta learn somemore. I really appreciate your honesty and showing us your work. You remind me of me! Start over from scratch. I am a protectionist and it holds me back from doing alot of projects I would love to try.
THANK YOU for showing us the good the bad & the ugly! Truly! I wanted to do that for several years but Iâve been terrified that I end up with a worse mass than what I already have with my ugly countertops but you make it doable and so Iâm gonna go ahead and buy it and give it a shot. Like you pointed out whatâs the worst that could happen and you can always do it again.
Go for it girl! That was the same thing I said to my husband. It canât possibly turn it worse than the hideous counters I had before. And stone coat epoxy is really forgiving you have plenty of time to work with it and manipulate it
Iâm impressed with your motivation to tackle this project on your own , must be the Army woman in you , bravo !
I liked all your epoxy finishes and I understand your pursuit of perfection by redoing the three finishes. You are having fun with it. Good idea to walk away for a few months. When you return, you're gonna do great! :đ
While watching this video I realized I found my twin! I drive myself crazy with redoing but persist. Thoroughly love your kitchen!!
Beware of any light colors, expecially white, they will yellow badly within 1-2 years, I now have to redo... in a dark color.
Topped with polyurethane can greatly minimize yellowing. I ran into yellowing years ago to the point of redoing my counters. I topped it with poly in 2019 and I have been happy as the day I re-finished it.
@@mr.c6674 thank you
I did a Carrera marble countertop 3 years ago and have had minimal yellowing if any at all. It depends on how much UV lighting your countertop is getting.
Just did our island last night while my wife was asleep as a surprise. This is day 2 of curing and looking forward to cleaning it all up. I appreciate your perspective and willingness to share the good and bad. Loved the video. PS i did mine twice because i messed up the first time. Will have my experience posted in the coming days once cured.
Just here to say thank you for not giving up on making this video!!! Very helpful for us all!
Thank you so much Iâm glad it was helpful
I love this project! The last 2 tries were both gorgeous.
Purchase a bit extra epoxy (1/2 gal.) and do a few samples first before starting the big projects. Dont feel bad, I failed on my first countertop on two attempt. The third try I nailed it. I also used StoneCoat Countertop Epoxy. Yes, I did repaint my cabinets first. I rebuilt my counters so I wasn't worry about paint drops. My advice: Do sample boards first, make sure your counters are level, never mix more epoxy than you can handle, mix the epoxy at the correct room temperature, and mix time. And use another set of helping hands if needed. Overall, your counters still turned out nice.
Stone coat epoxy in my experience is the BEST epoxy out there. These counters came out awesome â€
Way over priced to me. It's no more special than other 2 part epoxies. The sparkles and other artistic additions can be had at any crafts store for a lot less too.
The CZcams lessons are great though.
â@mr.c6674 I have actually tried cheaper epoxies. They set up WAY quicker. And when they dried, they bubbled and peeled. You get what you pay for.
I really appreciate your video! I love that you showed the hiccups along the way. Truly helpful! I know it may not be what you want, but I think it came out beautifully!
I just admire you so much, You are NOT afraid to try anything! You are such a role model for taking a chance!!!! I so appreciate that you do not settle!! How does it work with putting multiple epoxies on the counter?? I think you have a good plan. You know what you want in your head I trust that the next time you will hit a homerun and be really happy. Can I say your counters look so much nicer than what you started with!!!! You're on the right path.
Thank you so much! It was actually fine putting multiple layers of the epoxy. When I did some research thatâs what the would say, if you make a mistake or donât like it you just add more. And I agree they are much better than how they started đ„°
You are such a badass! I am always impressed with the things you do and I love that you show your process and what works and what didnât work. The countertops look beautiful and I love your backsplash!
Thank you so much. Iâm glad you enjoy seeing the whole process!
I did my countertops with epoxy. I watched stone coat over and over because I was scared to death to try this because I have a lot of counter space. I knew I would have to remove the back part of the counters. I made my own. Once I got started with the painting and epoxy I had so much fun creating the blue granite. It turned out exactly the way I wanted it. Itâs not perfect by no means but close enough. Donât give up.
I love that! I felt the same way I was absolutely terrified to start but the process is a lot of fun and there are so many techniques you can do
I love your patience and tenacity to get it right. Practice makes perfect and then you find your groove. I loved your work đđđ
Thank you so much đ„°
OMG!! THANK YOU!!!! Iâve been trying to figure out how to remove my backsplash!!! Youâve given me the confidence to use my multi tool! đđđ»
So proud of your patience and tenacity in creating your epoxy countertops. Your kitchen is coming together beautifully! Canât wait to see the finished product!!
One of these days it will actually get finished
I'm beyond proud of you, I just commented on your part 2 video stating how proud I am of you, I want to do this technique but HECK no, I'm too chicken, the fact that you can start over without feeling deflated is my type of person!!!! I love everything you're doing, and couldn't be happier for you!!!!
Thank you so much! I definitely feel deflated at times and want to give up. But then every time I walk in my kitchen I would be reminded of how much I didnât like it. So we had to keep going
After having worked with epoxy for the last couple of years I would never take on this huge project as my first time using epoxy. You really have to ease into it and get to know the product for a long time before taking on a big project like this.
Appreciate your openness and honesty through all this. Some want to blame the epoxy for not working right, but you didnât. You just pointed out itâs characteristics, such as flowing downhill and moving in general. Not sure what to do about the flow if your top is out of level short of maybe letting it sit a while before pouring it. But that could be tricky too. I think I would contact Stonecoat and see what ideas they might have. They do have a thickener additive but Iâve never tried it. Anyway, I think you were doing a good job with it and I like your determination. Hand in there and good luck.
I really love the counter top Iâm so glad you took off the backsplash. It looks so much better. You really are a stubborn perfectionist! I mean that as a compliment. You have a vision and you are willing to work until you achieve that vision. Thatâs admirable. It would drive my husband crazy!! The only thing I want to say is you really should be wearing a mask for your own protection. Thanks Angela
Oh I know I am đ€Łđ„° I would also be driving my husband crazy if he wasnât over seas đ€Ł
Girl,, I loved them the 3rd time! They looked so good! I can not wait to see it the 5th time..lol
Maybe this time 5th times the charm đ€Łđ€·ââïžđ€Šââïž
These came out lovely! Iâm binging videos to find a technique that works and yours is the first Iâve seen that layers so much and gives such a pretty look. I live in a new build house with granite countertops and I hate everything about them but not willing to pay for new quartz right now so epoxy it is!
I felt the same way. I must have watched hundreds of videos getting ideas and techniques. It was really hard to find true beginners or people doing this to their own homes. Iâm not a professional at epoxy and really wanted to see how it worked for people who also didnât do this for a living. Iâm glad you found this helpful đ„°
You are very persistent and it paid off. It looks really nice. I do have a question; what brand of paint did you use on your cabinets. They turned out really nice. I am rebuilding a vintage camp trailer. I painted the doors with red Krylon brush on paint. It has been a week and even though I brought them upstairs and put them near heat vents they are still tacky. I need a better paint. Thanks and thanks for the video.
As someone who eloxy countertops for a living ,i would higy reccomend you do a sample board. This will give you ypur technique as well as color pallet. The design your trying to achieve you should use at least 3oz a square foot.
I really appreciate that you showed it all. Can't wait to see what else you do. I feel inspired to try this. I have done a lot of work in my own home and am always a little scared but I feel more excited than scared. I always feel boo boo can be fixed. At the moment I am in the process of staining my floors my husband is always afraid to come home, on one of my days off work. My inspirations come to me while I sleep. That in itself is nuts.
Haha I love that! My husband is the same way. When I get an idea I have to see it through right away I donât want to wait. Iâll be redoing/staining my deck this spring after I accidentally ruined it a few years ago. Oops
You can totally sell what you've done. Totally. For hundreds of dollars. Such a great jođđđđ«¶đ«¶
Girl, you are beyond determined!!! I am certain you are going to bring your vision to life! I would have quit already, lol. You go girl & best of luck!!!
There are plenty of times I wanted to
I really love how this came out! I totally am in the same boat as you! I just painted my cabinets 2 different colors and about to try a third one, (this is after trying 12 different sample paints and a million paint chips!) I think when the sky is the limit with creativity, skills, colors, etc it can actually make things more difficult! Keep up the great work and know you're not alone! :)
I agree too many options make it more challenging
My goodness. Good for you for trying it all out and figure it out. I understand the perfectionist personality. I have a dresser in my room that I am still working on a makeover. And I keep going back and trying things to get it correct. It's still sitting here. Lol. Your kitchen looks awesome.
I would be doing the same thing! Keep at it you will get it just the way you want đ„°
wow! Not sure how i came across your channel, but I must say you have some serious commitment and stamina to do this so many times. Well done. I love the brick backsplash! I'm about to do that in my kitchen but more schmear.
Beautiful job !!!
Loved your video. Having watched many Stone Coat and RK3 tutorials, you need to tape the edges with the tape proud of the surface, creating a "dam" so that the epoxy flows more evenly everywhere. When it's almost stopped flowing, peel the edges and let it flow over slowly.
I tried that with the first pour by my counter slop upwards at the edge and it wasnât deep enough to make it over that hump
Wow, I subscribed just for your perseverance! I like you have the backsplash piece which was concerning. Iâm so glad I watched and learned from you. Keep up the good work, you know when itâs all done it will be so worth it!
I found its much better to use paint to design and place your colors. Use epoxy as protective layer. Much easier and less expensive to use paint first. And you have unlimited time to design. Mine turned out beautiful. I used paint, a feather, some spray paint too.
Looks beautiful
Excellent and informative video!
Hello Karen...geeze!
Love watching your videos. You are just so stinking cute and you have helped me to become more brave in doing my projects as you show your own mistakes. Keep up the great projects love seeing them
I am so happy to hear that you are finding the courage to make your own projects. I was also very intimidated and scared at first and slowly but surely I would learn and grow. And of course watch a lot of you tube videos to help đ€Ł
It actually looks good.
I love your kitchen girl â€â€â€
I just tried a sample with the back splash on. I found out to cut it off instead because epoxy doesn't do well on vertical surface for sure.
No it definitely does not
Honestly, the technic you use create a pattern and a deep that looks like onyx effect.
How did you redo them after doing the first pour? Did you sand off all the hardened epoxy and then repaint a base coat before doing a new epoxy pour?
Thanks for sharing

You are brave dear galđź. Or đ€Ł crazy. I would be so scared to do it. I'm proud of you for keeping on that project.
I would say both đ€Ł I was terrified I spent months doing research and so still so scared to do it
Beautiful! Also, I love your backsplash. Can you share the brand?
I plan on doing this but first I will make a few sample tiles, once I get a good result than I will do larger things
While they may not be what you envisioned, they are still a Huge improvement over the countertops that you started with. I've thought of trying something like this but I have over 30 feet of countertops and I'd likely go mad in the process.
Thank you I agree itâs definitely better than it was. Wow, you have a lot of counter!
@@angelajonesdiy My husbands grand dad built this house back in the 70's. We farm and have huge gardens so the counters do come in Real handy. I did a remodel about 4 years ago and discovered that it's difficult to do a 'budget' remodel on this big of a kitchen. My counters are plywood that I sanded for days and then did multiple layers of stain and clear coat on. I tell myself all the time that I'm gonna redo them, but I haven't. We chop and set hot things and wet things on them and do all sorts of stuff on them that you can't on most counters and they are holding up beautifully.
That sounds like a beautiful kitchen. I tell myself Iâm going to do a lot of things in this house and just keep putting them off. My deck desperately needs sanded and refinished but itâs a 30 ft deck so I know what you mean about the amount of work đ
I think they look great. Working with epoxy I definitely would have experimented on a small board before ever trying it on my counters. Epoxy is expensive and I couldn't afford to do that over, over, and over.
I really should have but in my head I was thinking Iâve done enough research I know what Iâm doing. Boy was I wrong
@@angelajonesdiy I'm never that confident when doing such a big, time consuming project!đ
Thank you showing us. And I do like the last one . I like a lot of white to. I am going to do mine to but I want it white background and a few black vines. Mostly small and really detailed out so that may be a problem for me. But you did a wonderful job and you didnât give udon. Thatâs very good to. What kind of back ground do you have between the cabinets and countertop. It is beautiful. You really got your color seem together. I love it very good job. Please let me know where you got your pattern between counter top and cabinets so beautiful. I like how thick the mortar is between the bricks. Looks so real just love it. Your kitchen looks beautiful. Thanks again for taking the time to show us. Lots of steps tp go through.
Thank you so much. Yes this was a very long process it took me a few months to complete the whole thing. The back splash is thin brick from Loweâs. This video goes into more detail on the backsplash! czcams.com/video/id0zzAJTpnU/video.html
Try try try again. Wow I sure learned a lot just from your mistakes. Can't wait to see how everything comes together in the end. Even though things didn't work out the way you wanted I loved watching the veining you created . đ€đđđ
Thank you! I feel like I always learn more watching others mistakes as well and think itâs important to include those parts in my video. Iâm glad you enjoyed it
@@angelajonesdiy awesome can't wait to see what else you do đ€đđđ
This is such a great video for newbies. Thanks so much for showing us all the looks stonecoat countertop product can do for you. I actually like that look of the last counter. I think you're way to hard on yourself. âŁïž
I am definitely too hard on myself. Now that Iâve lived with the counters for a while I do like them
Iâm actually going through the same thing. I did mine once, not trilled so about to redo. Question⊠did you have to prime or paint the first epoxy before the 2nd try? And did you do a flood coat after the dirty pour?
Thanks!
I did prime it again before doing the dirty pour. I did not do a flood coat but only because I know I want to redo it. I didnât want to waste the epoxy.
My countertops are just like yours, so you do suggest cutting the back off? Iâm so nervous to start this project!!! Everything should be here Tuesday Iâm excited in a way.đ
I think it depends on the look you are going for. I could not get the epoxy to look good on the backsplash. I was the same way I was so nervous to start especially when removing the back splash. I thought I was going to ruin everything.
Hello
Did you have to buy more epoxy, or what you have show at the begging of the video was enough for your project?
At the beginning I had 2 gallons. I bought another gallon just to be safe but did not use it all. And thatâs just because I ended up redoing them 3 times
@@angelajonesdiy thank you đ
Instead of roller oaint can uses Eooxy soray
Can you share how much it cost for all of your initial supplies that were in your box.
I admire your strive to create your vision. The kitchen is turning out beautifully.
Thank you! All of the stone coat products I bought cost $385. I hope that helps
With the amount of pours you did you could have probably just paid for granite. Because I did epoxy counter tops last year and stone coat is the MOST expensive! I actually just painted my counters. Got them to look like I wanted. Then went to lowes and bought epoxy. Total cost was $120! It was my first time working with epoxy and it turned out amazing! Plus I went up the whole back splash behind stove and over built in oven. It has been over a year and still holding up great. My goal was for them to last at least two years and then we would order real stone!
I donât know about that I still only spent about $400. Real stone would be tens of thousands from what I hear. Iâve never looked into it. Iâm glad yours turned out great đ„°
You definitely should've stopped before adding the alcohol part. It was really pretty! :-)
Have you watched Rhondaâs videos on RK3 designs? I feel like sheâs more of a âteacherâ then the guys on stone coat, though I love them too.
Oh yes, she is my favorite! I agree she is much more helpful. Stone coat always dumps everything into a bucket they never show different ways to get the looks itâs always the same with different colors
Could you all please stress exactly how extreme the effect of high temperature and humidity effect the working time. My tops are a very insipid white msrble because of a temperature of 30 degrees and a very high humidity left me with about about 50 minutes for working the veins etc. Other people love it but I cannot get past thinking of what I had planned to do with the other hour or 2 that I had expected. I have no veins and was not able to use the alcohol . Had I had any idea about the extreme effects if temp and humidity I would have known to do the colour pour at about 5 am. The colour coat and final topcoat were done by 6.30 in the morning and went well.
I can only express that you should really do your research when attempting something like this. My video was only to share MY experience and as you saw I re-did my countertops 3 times in this video. I am not a professional in this medium and this was my very first time doing it. All of which I expressed. I spent months researching techniques and understanding epoxy watching videos from professionals, several of which I refer you to in my video because they know what they are doing. Stone coat countertops mentions in all of their videos the optimal working conditions including temperature and humidity. Sorry you had a poor experience but I did too.
I can not believe this is what you 'try' epoxy on!!đłđłđłđłđłđ€Ł I want to see how it holds up....hate my countertops đ«€
It holds up great. Totally heat resistant too. I love mine
So far they have been great. My brother did his counters a few years ago and they look as good as the day he poured them
Only to 0:51 but curious as to what you are going to do with the curved front and the one piece back? About to find out..and play.
12:45 yes that makes way more sense. Epoxy only works on flat level surfaces. Never done any yet but thatâs kinda common sense.
13:04 arenât you going to bondo the gaps?
14:30 if you donât want it such light colors, why arenât you tinting it darker? What am I missing here?
Finally they look great. Use MDF and bondo and do it in place.
Just noticed this is 7 months old..lol Iâm to late hope it turned out
Angela, I know you are not happy, but I think theyâre gorgeous!
Thank you! The latest version is growing on me. I like it more than the others at least đ„°
What is the name of the color of your green cabinets? I really like that color.
It is evergreen fog by sherwin Williams
Iâm watching ur vid and I am about halfway. I see/hear youâre getting upset with yourself, so I canât help but say to you itâs not bad to be so picky or finicky over such an IMPORTANT PROJECT. Itâs your HOMEâŠ!!!!! I mean I am the same way and probably Many Many MANY people are as well. You do so many things AND DO THEM WELL, youâre such a talented person and you canât be perfect at everything the first time. I personally probably wouldâve picked a small section or something similar so I can get a feel for the epoxy and then I wouldâve tackled the big projectâŠ.well Iâm going to finish the vid laterđđŒđđŒ
Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I really should have practiced first. In my mind I had watched so many video on doing this I thought I had it figured out. But I was very wrong
Iâm watching your process of laying down the colors and think you just got toooo much going on and tried to do too much. Simple is much better. If you look at quartz or carrera marbles etc, they are actually quite simple. Not 5 colors . Epoxy dudes add in way too many colors imo, their work always looks absolutely garish and not at all âsophisticated design choicesâ . Looking at your kitchen renovations, you seem to be after the sophisticated style.
Also, you should watch other peopleâs videos whoâs final look you really jive with. Those people are likely keeping things really simple, not complicated color schemes. Patterns, glitters etc. i would definitely tell people to try test samples first to see what you like instead of just going all balls to the walls on a large projectâŠ..especially a kitchen!
What's the workable time
I think it depends on the temperature in your environment. I turned my heat up while working which allows for a little more time. With stone coat I found that I could work with it for at least an hour
Why didn't you tape your edges or do a dirty pour?
I taped the edges with the first pour but it didnât matter because the front of the counter has a rounded edge that is higher than the counter themselves. The epoxy wasnât getting anywhere near high enough to just flow off the edges. I thought I would have less control with a dirty pour but I did do that at the end of the video for the last try
Your pattern shifted because you didnât tape the edge of the countertops. You want to remove the tape after the epoxy has dried about an hour then rub the edges down by hand that way the pattern will continue to drip & cover the edges but will also maintain the pattern in the center & main part of the countertop.
My counter also wasnât level. The edges were not flat either. Itâs probably hard to tell in the video but the are like a hill and come up higher before the round over the edge. My first attempt I did tape and it didnât matter because I would have had to pour way too much epoxy to have it raised enough to pour over that edge.
I thought it looked good. But you have to like it.
Thatsalotta work for a counter! What a difference removing the backsplash made. I loved the last design until the alcohol was added. Hopefully you get it the way you like.
It really was a lot of work. I agree i love it until I added the alcohol to it
Sometimes women should not be left alone! Actually dear, you did a great job. Remember if you donât like itâŠgo to plan B or plan C. We are allowed options,đ
You are extremely patient. The last color you used does not work. You have cabinets in two different colors, your backsplash in another color. My recommendarion is that you go with an off white base, use light beige veins very thin and use another color or two of your cabinet colors to blend in. You have lots of time to work with the epoxy, go slow and look back at the outcome as you go along. Less is more and you have too many colors going on so make it nice and soft to the eye. Wish you luck on your next try. I think practice will get you there but you will never get the same effect each try but you can surely come close. Good luck.
if the pros do it that way, why would you change it?
To me was easy.
Sometimes less is more. Switching up everything and going this way and that wayâŠpick a plan and stick with it. The first part looked good. Shouldâve stuck with it.
Yea I definitely learned that during this project. I thought I had a plan but just kept changing my mind đ€·ââïž
The mistake you repeatedly made was blending too many colors that were too similar.. Then, pouring them like stripes ..
It looks great!
Not to be mean, because your video is good except for the narration... know that this is constructive criticism, please work on your speaking skills. The way your voice trails up unnaturally at the end of all your sentences is painful to the ear. Try speaking naturally because you have a nice voice.
I can't watch the whole video right now, but you got screwed from the start buying that junk epoxy
This looks like shiet
Great video! Does the epoxy have a strong odor when mixing and pouring?
This stone coat epoxy does not have an odor and it is no VOC so you donât have to wear a mask while working with it. I would still recommend wearing one of your working with spray paint or other additives though.
@@angelajonesdiy Thank you for answering my question. I was worried the product would be too strong and didn't want to smell up my house for days.
