I always find this satisfying to watch, u nailed it! My favorite is the stone coat spray.
This project just became my new favorite!
that is a very simple process with amazing results
I love that colors!!! I use all time 🔥
Love these colors!
You make it look so easy I can't wait to do my project with your product and procedures
U got this Scotty! How long have u been watching?
Beautiful!
Mixing some of the brown family (copper, bronze, cofee) with the yellow pearl is amazing.
Also silver mirror spray fogged and or fractured on top of the yellow pearl (simple or mixed) is just stunning!
Been there, done that and I love it!
Thanks for the video Mitch!
I've never tried the yellow pearl with the earth tones, thanks for the cool idea. I'll give it a try! How long have u been watching Stone Coat on CZcams?
@@mitchquist close to 2 years now!
Maybe more?!
Time flies when you're having fun!
Another winner Mitch.
One of my favorite colors is cobalt blue; something special and think that would be a good base for a countertop.
You out did yourself Mitch, Amazing
Thanks Tina! Have you worked with our epoxy before?
Awesome
Love to see a peridot and copper!
LOVE this!! Amazing work!
Thank you so much! Do you have any DIY projects planed for this summer? Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks! How long have you been watching Stone Coat videos?
@@mitchquist forever..built a beautiful live edge coffee table from watching your videos…love your products!
How do you make the light and dark bronze counter top on the far right background on this video? It looks like a piece of redwood- beautiful!!!
no idea if it's already been said but you could even add some small dark effects of vain to ! :) nice job again !!!
That is a beautiful looking finish!! 👍 I think it would look awesome on a maple table! 🍁
That's a great idea 💡 👍 thanks for always dropping a comment on our videos!
@@mitchquist You are very welcome!! 🤗
I live in Salem and I'm so bummed I'm not closer. Working with you guys would be a dream job! I love copper/bronze. I love the green patina of copper more. Maybe one day you can throw some blue green (I couldn't find the right shade of blue or green ... but it may be the screen) in next time for a patina effect! I mean, the black separating is awesome ... but patina needs some measure of Pthalo blue and/or green in a light tone. Minty blue/green patina would look really, really awesome. I refuse to use the new "fire" description.
Mitch, that project turned out as always fantastic. I’d like to see what a mixture of cherry wood and copper blend look like. Great job
That's a cool idea! I do know cherry wood looks really good under epoxy! Thanks for watching, do u have any DIY projects planned for this summer?
@@mitchquist Yes Sir, I’m just watching enough of your videos to try and emulate your technique with hopes that they turn out as well as yours do. So keep the education coming to allow me to do my bathroom counters. Thank you.
Appreciate the inspiration you bring to the possibility of projects Mitch.
What a nice thing to say! Appreciate you taking the time to give such kind feedback! Have you been able to work with Stone Coat Epoxy yet?
@@StoneCoatCountertops not yet, but my 4 gallons of epoxy just showed up. Our project is due to be started at the end of August so it's time to start some test samples. Can't wait.
Green pond - illuminous depth.
Trying to pick colors for my kitchen. Could you do a mix of purple mountain and mixed berry glitter colors soon?!
I would like to see a dark red with a bright re accent color with a black fogged granitized effect.
Would like to see gray , white , silver and black
So my kitchen is getting some love… a shade of blue called Jamaica Blue. I’d love to see some ideas I can use on my table top and my counter which I want to match at least in color.
I'd love to see a countertop done with an olive/army green and tan...
Does the heat erase the lines from the grooved trowel? Nice work
Can we get a Blue Steel and Aston Martin combination? Maybe even a little Black Metallic powder added on top of those two if you're feeling daring enough. I'd love to see how it turns out.
This is super cool.
I really wonder what would have happened if you had hit it with isoproypl with an accent color - maybe a green metallic to emulate oxidation? that might have been even more out of this world
c tre joli magnifique
Beautiful job! What is the odor like from these products?
What about a copper and turquoise table, Mitch?
I was thinking the same thing! That would be stunning
Rhonda from RK3 design would really like that combo!!
I’ve done some resin coasters turquoise and copper. First time I did it I blew myself away, had no idea how incredible the two colors would look together. Now it’s hard to do anything that isn’t those colors. Just working on a small bedside river table
I want a white counter with black and dark gray can you do that one next?
I'd like to see a copper and dark navy or a sage and navy combo.
Is it possible to go over my kitchen sink which is coriander to match the counter top
I'm remodeling my kitchen doing a Tuscan theme. I'm thinking of doing a countertop something like your caramel pour but I'd like to include some shades of brick red and olive green. I'd love to see you do a video with something along those lines.
That sounds like a great idea. Have you completed any projects with our epoxy before?
@@StoneCoatCountertops no I haven't. I'm really excited to.
I'd like to see a black, pewter, and silver metallic chopped together to mimic a subtle soapstone
Nice💕
Thanks for watching! Lemme know if you have any questions, have you used Stone Coat for a project yet?
I miss Mike, how is he doing today? Great Job guys
Hey guys! I love your channel and techniques and binge watch your episodes nightly. I have a bathroom design concept and project in which I'd love to get you involved.
We would love to see what you can do with our epoxy Melisa. Check out our Facebook group Stone Coat Insiders its a great place to share what projects you are doing and learn from other amazing DIY individuals.
I trying to go over my old counter top what r the steps
Hi, new sub here. Is epoxy safe for food prep? I love your work, unfortunately I'm in Australia and we don't have anyone close to your level of skill🥺 But maybe I'd give up a try...maybe lol
Do you guys have sample kits?
Would love to see a copper and blue patina using different techniques to get different outcomes on the same board.
Cool idea! Adding a blue earth layer would have taken this piece to the next level! Thanks for the idea! Do you have any DIY projects planed for this summer?
Yea hopefully I will be doing my counters in the next couple months. Planning on copper and blue like yall did in the video with artist till death
It doesn’t look like it leveled too well. Could it be sanded/cut/buffed?
We have a bar, and the top is basically like old bathroom tiles. Can this be done over it? Or do we need to tear it apart and start fresh
okay, another question. Hope you don't mind. Is there a difference in using a torch or heat gun? I have a heat gun. But the heat gun blows air and the torch won't. Is that the difference?
Where do you get the material
love the cvoat typo at the beginning!🤣
Hey Mitch what would black with white diamond dust mixed like you did with project look like? Not sure what other color to accent it.
The best way to find out would be to use a small sample board to test out your colors to see how it will turn out on a larger scale.
Could you also just use denatured alcohol?
What about a purple/violet/silver or gold combo?
Thats a cool color idea! Thanks for watching!
If a 3rd color had been added, what would it have been?
How about black with copper marble
Where can I buy from the Philippines
🎉🎉🎉🎉metallic bronze and rust please how can I see them together
Looks GREAT! WOW!
Mitch do you have any recommendations on how to use epoxy without getting ANY of it on yourself? I am extremely allergic to it but I LOVE working with it. I find I end up getting some of it on my skin either during the project or during cleanup and it’s a steroid pack for me to help with the itching rashes 🤦🏼♀️.
Yikes! That is terrible. At the tractor supply they have gloves that go all the way up to your shoulder. Maybe that will help? Let me know if you have any other questions! -Mitch
tyvek suit and latex dipped freezer gloves would do it
Slather in Bacon grease, it makes for easier clean up too!
I asked a question on another video and no one answered. Is it possible, with the self-leveling thing, to coat over a tile countertop? I know it would mean the same prep work, but will it fill the grout gaps (if I use enough of course)? I can't see why it wouldn't. I've been using art epoxy for years. I'm not familiar with your formulation or off-gassing. You'd assume that, in using a couple of base coats, the grout wouldn't off-gas (just like wood ... and I've done wood inlay with epoxy on small items, so bubbles count). But would your product sufficiently self-level (and I have no idea how to account for that tiny bit of extra volume that makes a lot of volume over a large area) over the grout lines and still only take the one swipe with a torch to burst the bubbles? Even MDF is expensive these days (comparatively to BC ... before covid), so if I can coat my counters, that would save me hundreds. Old house.
That looks great. You would have had to drag Mike away from it kicking and screaming. I like it.
Just wondering if you guys have class where someone can come in and learn from you guys. If not would you consider training.
I'll play ... pewter and green pearl
what if you did a silver/black metallic with gold veins?
Ahh good idea I bet that would be sweet
👍👍👍👍👍
Hey, Mitch! You do amazing work and I’m inspired!! I’d love to see you mix aquamarine and purple reflective colors. 🧐🥳✌🏿
P.S. Please wear a 😷 handling them chemicals. Your safety matters to us too!
Pro tip. Don't handle your heat gun or torch with epoxy on your gloves. The epoxy will stick the buttons together and it is a bugger to get them loose again.
I'm guilty of this! Spray a stack of paper towels with isopropyl alcohol before mixing, they come in handy to clean up your gloves. How many projects have you completed with epoxy?
@@StoneCoatCountertops I have done 3 so far. Started with my own kitchen tops core and all. It looked so good that my daughter wanted hers done then my brother wanted his game room kitchen and bar done. I am a retired carpenter so the core was pretty easy but anyone can do the epoxy with all of the info you guys put out.
@@jefferyholland So I take it Epoxy is safe for food prep? How is it with spills? Maybe you need your own channel lol
@@pman2916 The countertop epoxy is food safe and holds up well to everyday use but I would not throw away your cutting board. Spills are easy to clean up in fact the entire countertop is easy to clean. I soapy dishrag followed up with a dry hand towel keeps it looking like new.
As for a CZcams channel ? Well lets just say I have a face for radio.
I would recommend a wrap of lose plastic around your tool button before you start in case you forget that product is on your gloves.
I can't help but think it's Yukon Cornelius showing us how to epoxy countertops.
By the way, great job Mitch! Love ya brother
That noise starting at 6:55 ... ...
*Don't close your eyes while listening to that! You've been warned!*
In the words of Hank Hill: "That boy ain't right!"
Brass and Gold
Could someone use Epoxy to help build a large-size wood stove for the outside?
Build something out of foam or wood covered in plastic that you want to burn fires in?
Copper?
Did that just self level?
Great observation! Yes, our epoxy self levels when poured out on a flat surface.
Pro Tip: Hand sanitizer gel works great for cleaning wet epoxy off of tools
How can I get your company to answer the phone or a text or an email?! 😔
Ive always felt, common sense wise that if you pour in part B first, it should be called part A LOL
Regardless of manufacturer, Part A is always the resin and Part B is always the hardener. (This is important for mixing ratios, as the first # always refers to A, the resin, and is the only number that can vary.) He's just measuring the hardener first for whatever reason. I haven't found any other instructions that say to measuer B before A; in fact, many say to measure in separate containers and then mix together, in case you overpour. His designation of Part B and Part A is not arbitrary; but his decision to measure Part B first seems to be.
@@angelbear_og oh, ok,good to know, ty
I was really excited to try your epoxy because I have a friend in GP that uses you stuff on her tumblers! I live just south of you and wanted to come pick it up but I can not for the life of me get ANYONE to answer the phone or return my calls! I really wanted to support local businesses such as yourselves but I am a bit frustrated and disappointed. 🥴
Awww man. So sorry to read this. Email me your contact info, I'll make sure you get handled 👍
Email me mitch@stonecoatcountertops.com
@@mitchquist I emailed the email on the website on the 13th because I didn't see an email for you on here. I still haven't heard anything. Oh well I ordered from somewhere else 🤷♀️
I'm first comment 😎
I hate to report that I tried so hard to make this work - using all the resources available - and had a very disappointing attempt to use Stone Coat Countertops Epoxy on my two bathroom vanity countertops.
Here are my top learnings that have proven to me this simply isn't an option to consider, despite the amazing beauty and low cost:
1. Colors mixed together to make a 'mix', not a swirling of multiple colors making a natural and beautiful work of art
2. Very difficult to manage the drying process after you pour epoxy - we ended up having the taped edges get stuck in the epoxy to a point where it was impossible to remove.
3. Ultimately the end result is noticeably poured and not real granite, marble, stone, or quartz - there's no way to get all the epoxy to harden into straight, firm, rigid, hard lines - it naturally hardens in rolling, wavey, non-flat curved lines.
I'm sure that there are ways for long-term, highly skilled, lessons-learned, artisans out there who can overcome the above issues but after several hundred dollars of wasted materials, supplies, etc. and ruined countertops, I can't justify investing into an Attempt #2, so I'm likely going to go with an installed-granite-solution from Lowes for $2100. If I would've done the to begin with, I'd of saved several hundred dollars.
I truly tried Stone Coat Countertops. I truly wanted the beauty at low cost. But I don't think that's possible without YOUR decades of experience with trial and error learning.
Sorry to hear about your project. My first time was a hit! I taped around 3 times to make sure nothing spilled out. Very tight.
Sir, just curious, but did you attempt leveling with the blow torch? It sounds as though your surface tension on the field was too high, which may have been eased by pre smearing a light coat of clear epoxy over the ground field first.
Can we have Mike back... I miss him 😢
Bronze
It only looks good in videos. In real life it’s complete garbage. 100% regret
