    Little tip for caulk . Use soapy water in a spray bottle . Spray the caulk and then use a lolly stick . You get a perfect line x x

    I’ve been wanting to do this in my kitchen for a long time. My home was built in the 1950’s and everything needs renovating! I have watched countless how-to videos and remained too afraid to try this. I thought the best way for me to attempt it would be to purchase a faux marble kit, so I ordered an expensive countertop “Kit” and since it arrived I have been searching videos for inspiration and courage to start!
    Today I came across your video. My initial thought was, “These are the most beautifully painted marble countertops I have seen!” (Hands down) Followed by, “I wish my countertops could look like hers, but there’s no way I will ever be able to do that”. 😔
    I then followed the link to your bathroom countertop renovation. I watched it a couple times paying close attention, not only to each step and the products but mostly your words of encouragement. There is something about the way you spoke about it that made me think, “I can do this!” I looked at your list and added things into my Amazon cart, ordered and they’re on the way! I can’t wait for them to arrive! You have given me the confidence to do this and I am grateful to you. Thank you!
    I’m actually really excited about getting started and seeing how it turns out 🤗

  • @Wilphart
    @Wilphart Před 3 lety +26

    You improved it on a budget. I've done several projects with epoxy now, but with a very slow-drying brand, and I use tons of colors and glitters, etc. In my experience, it's definitely worth the trouble to remove the backsplashes to do them separately. I unplumbed a couple of sinks and even let the epoxy color the sink bowls in one-piece units. But that's tricky. For your technique with only two colors, I'd recommend layering white, grey, and clear epoxy and using a heat gun or blow torch to blend them in interesting ways. I'd soften some of them up with a paint brush like you did, but leave other veins alone prior to the heat gun - more variety. You can also use a small blast of white or grey spray paint on top and then mist isopropyl alcohol over it to break the surface paint into neat cells that look more like natural stone.

      I love it & I'm considering doing my kitchen countertops so I probably won't be able to save too much as I'll need the high heat epoxy-but I'm thinking I'll start with my bathroom countertop for some practice first since I really want to do them both anyway! Yours look beautiful. What does the alcohol do by creating a cracking cell while epoxy is still wet?? Also, should I really remove both of my sinks first? Don't you only need to remove them if you anticipate having to completely replace them in the future?
