🟦 This is our most valuable video we've given you yet. How did you like this Masterclass? What was the biggest thing you learned? 🟦
Creating that stamp for the pan and the mold for the inset shelf and back splash are absolute genius. Wish I would have found you before I redid bathroom tile. Would be awesome to have molds that could be purchased for pros and the actual shelves for DIYers to customize with paint. So impressed with this whole shower build, the natural top edge is beautiful. Well done guys! So grateful for this masterclass! Go Nathan!!!
I learned that a shower remodel can be done for a fraction of the cost! Way to go!!! We love this video. "Honey do, to Honey done!" :) :) :) Thank you so much! You all are fabulous! You have been for years!
I bought a new house and in about 3-4 months ill be installing my dream shower. Rainfall heads, body sprays and absolutely huge. Problem is, my wife doesnt like grout lines between tiles (cleaning issues) and we cant really afford big slabs of marble or whatever. Then, i saw your shower video from a couple years ago and it hit me like a ton of bricks..."Thats my solution!" Ive done resin table tops so i have a bit of experience with it. Beautiful resin walls that are insulated and warmer to the touch, thats perfect for us. I have a question though, is the reinforcement weave you put on the foam absolutely needed? Id like to do it without it but thicker foam panels. As for your questions about what i learned in your video...The scribing the pan slope trick was great. Ive been worried about that. Thanks for the video, its inspiring.
I love it. I am trying to talk my wife into doing our small master bedroom shower.
Love this. I've done 4 countertops with your product. Now to screw up the nerve to do showers!
I was looking for something completely different but I got so wrapped up in your video that I didn't even realize I'd watched two and a half hours of a tutorial on a shower overhaul. I am thoroughly impressed by your work. Outstanding!
Glad you liked it, that is so awesome! Thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment. Do you have any projects coming up?
I'm always thinking I'm going to do something but I don't even know where to start half the time I was actually looking to see how to make a fake wall because I want to make an accent wall but I don't want to paint the actual original wall
@@StoneCoatCountertops Do you guys have a store, by any chance?
Same here… Absolutely beautiful 💪🏽💯
@@StoneCoatCountertops hi I’m curious what the mold making stuff is called you used and where do you get It awesome video
As a plumber and creative person, all can say is wow, amazing. These are literally free classes to anyone who is willing to give epoxy a go for the first time. Salute to you, from the U,K
Kyle, as a plumber do you feel like there would be a demand for these kind of installs?
@@moreau212 I honestly think if you showed the customer the options then yes, why not. It looks really nice, high end. Just a bit time consuming. But if Thier paying,then happy days
Kyle. I would say that these shower panel installations would really suit barn conversions where there is queer shaped enclosures.... That currently use tiles... Which almost always end up cracked and leaking thru the ceiling. I see this setup as a complete bespoke solution..... I'm for sure going to attempt it on 1 of my showers. 👌
@@k1ortia Зачем - широкоформатный керамогранит закончился ? Эбоксидная смола ни когда не заменит Плитку ...
As a homeowner with no intentions of making a shower stall, I still watched the whole video. I enjoy every video that you do, and appreciate being able to learn.
HEY NATHAN !!!!!! Another tip. When you smooth out silicone caulk after applying it, have a capful of rubbing alcohol handy. Dip your finger in it first. It'll cut the silicone and glide like butter. You guys are AWESOME !!!!!
I'm trying to work on a shower in an old RV, so the light weight foam and flexible epoxy makes this an amazing design for campers and RVs.
I'm thinking it would also up the insulation factor, if you were to use this method on full walls.
Exactly I'm doing a add on to my home it's light strong I'm in !!!, waterproof
@@_GntlStone_ the shower walls are against the side and back outer walls so I do hope so, it's an older 1985 RV so it could use all the insulation help it can get.
I am thinking the exact same thing on my RV shower redo. This seems like the perfect way to redo the bath. Counter tops & back splash in kitchen too.
I like the walls but I'm curious about this threshold piece. Concerned about the strength of it. Seems the edges would be weak for foot traffic?
I'd consider laying a layer of fiberglass into the backsides of the flat cement molds after pouring them. Give them a ton more strength, to avoid damaging them before they are installed.
…also, on the MDF leading edges, if you do them before the fiberglass stage, then glass over the edges, the strength would really go up.
If you all ever want to do a shower AND jacuzzi tub epoxy renovation, I’m in SW Florida. This is unbelievably gorgeous! If I was 30 years younger, and my Love of 46 years was still with me, We’d be doing this!
You gentleman are so amazing at actually INSTRUCTING, explaining, and providing tips along the way.
Plus, it’s just FUN to watch how excited you all get. It’s obvious you love what you do. Thank You for always making me smile, making beauty, and doing it so incredibly well.
Enjoy that gorgeous shower!
Hi from Australia folks! 🤗 I'm a lady in my 70's and really enjoy watching DIY videos.. WOW you guys have taken your skills and creativity and practicality to another level! I've seen some of your previous videos, but this was riveting viewing! Your ingenuity, professionalism, even when experimenting, sense of humour and great working brotherly relationship really shines through. Thanks for the enjoyment once again. Best of luck as you go forward from here. Looking forward to what you take on next! 👍
Just an FYI, but when you use a hole saw on something like this, drill from the back first half way through the material, then stop. Then goto the front with the hole saw and the remaining depth from front to the back, using the drill hole that you made earlier as a guide. This stops the material from blowing out and gives you a smooth hole, and even if the worst does happen, the blowout happens on the rear, not the front and is therefore hidden. Its the trick used by plumbers on laminated cabinets when cutting holes for pipes.
James Keatings: I thought about that too. I suppose there has to be a center/pilot hole to allow the hole saw to register perfectly.
@@isaacmadhavan Well yeah. Most hole saws have the centre drill hole anyway which is always longer than the hole saw, and indeed, usually long enough to go through the material you are cutting completely before the hole saw itself actually makes contact. So by cutting 50^ through on one side, then going to the other and cutting from the opposite side, it reduces the chance of the material blowing out. Also, just for safety, i'd suggest covering the bit you want to cut with the hole saw with regular painters masking tape which also stops the material from lifting.
@@jameskeatings9269 Kewl! And thanks for the suggestion about the painter's tape.
Amatures eh???? Lol
Thank you! 🙌🏾👊🏾👍🏾
This is so cool. Sadly I had no time when I was working. And now that I'm retired, I have no money. Still, that shower is beautiful.
Isn"t that the truth! Work to hard to make money to pay the Bill's. But when you retire you don't make enough to have any pleasures in life.
You both could get pretty much completely stable returns converting your funds into crypto stablecoins (they track the value of USD) and then lend that out at 10-15% interest on a decentralized lending platform. Your money was stolen by Marxist central banking cartels (Federal Reserve & IRS) designed to drain the wealth of the people through inflation. Crypto is something they can't touch, and puts the power squarely back in your hands. Those percentages sound absurd? Consider this, those are the type of returns the bankers get while giving you a fraction of a percent. This is how much interest you make when you cut the middle-men bankers out of the equation.
@@EnFuegoDuo nice of you to try and help but for most people it goes straight over there head, but you’re 100% right
I thought stone coat was relatively inexpensive. He just said you save 90%. That shower was only $600
No, he said the epoxy was $600. This is also his house and his labor.
I watched hundreds of DIY's and have to tell you, your presentation is definitely among the top 10 without blowing smoke. It's educational and always interesting and fun. I wish I could do my bathroom like that. In Switzerland we still have ceramic floors very easy to keep clean verses the plastic ones in Canada that stain and wear out very easily. Thank you for the content.
some folks do a good job on the craft but it is torture to listen to their delivery of the information...I am a kind person so I would never say that to a youtuber but this guy is easy to listen to with out too many words and gestures! LOL
there are options for ceramics and porcelain tiles in canada... at least there are in the niagara region. We don't use just one type in canada.
My name is Tambra Kilpatrick and for about 2yrs now I've scoured the internet, and CZcams. I've watched tons of videos from other companies as well as yours (by far my favorite). I've yet to come up with a definitive solution as to how to go about tackling my apparently very unique and extremely emotional project. Pouring a camouflage resin flag over the concrete slab on my nephew's grave. My sweet baby boy Thomas Kilpatrick was a soldier through and through. He loved his country, his family, and life. Tommy began collecting American flags and camouflage anything at age 5 and even tried to enlist in the army at age 12 lol. Life was good as a soldier but after being injured and unable to further his military dreams he became depressed and felt that if he couldn't fight for his country he had lost all reason to live. He battled his depression and loss of self worth for several years and although he was only 26 yrs old he became one of the 22 veterans that commit suicide everyday. I took it upon myself to make his final resting place a tribute to an amazing soldier and more so an amazing kid. Long story short I designed his headstone and planned to pour a camouflage resin flag over the concrete slab top I paid a company to pour but unfortunately the company took it upon themselves to pour the top of the slab where the headstone would sit at an angle. It was already going to be a challenge to pour resin outdoors in an uncontrolled environment without the angle and without any sort of experience whatsoever and now I'm at a loss on how to go about this task. I have explored many options such as pouring over foam with fiberglass like your shower walls and attaching it to the existing concrete but I worry about the resin being walked on and cracking. I have no clue how to pour over the slab being that just over 2' at the top of the 4'x8' slab they angled it like a pillow top bed. I thought of pouring on plywood and adhering it to the existing concrete but worry about the seam and the bond between the wood and slab. I am sure that I will have to pour over top of a material at home and then attach it to the concrete there. Which means pouring two separate sections and then joining the two which bring up questions as to how to seam the two pieces to make one especially since the gold spray paint overlay I planned on doing the stars and stripes in will put the star section directly over the joint. I'm hoping that if I attach pictures of the grave and a picture of the resin flag I'd like over top maybe you'd be willing to use your amazing skill and mastery of all things resin and enlighten me on how you'd go about completing such an enormous task. Thank you for taking the time to atleast read my cry for help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Benson, Az.
I have to say, one of the things I appreciate about you as a host especially, is how inclusive you are. Even leading the videos you ask people's thoughts, ideas--not because you're unsure, and not just to the youtube crowds, but your brother and guys around you too and it seems it's because you clearly like getting people jazzed about doing awesome stuff. Not everybody has that quality and it's really cool to watch, along with everything else you bring to your videos.
Indeed.. he says all the timeits an experiment. Its good to hear others to add to. Sorry the negative have ruin any ideas.
I have seen manufactured showers that caused many issues
Straight to the ceiling for me. I dont want an extra place I have to dust/wipe down or have water settle on.
You do beautiful work! Just cam across your channel and have been bingewatching your videos!
Agreed, don't want a ledge for water to settle on.
Wife and I are closing on our first home soon. This video made me realize this is how we want to do our bathroom and kitchen. I look forward to getting some Stone Coat product to give it a whirl!!!!
Y’all truly out did y’all self this was absolutely amazing but amazingly showing the flexibility we have when things aren’t perfect or if spouse is indecisive lol
While I sanded and painted a desk in my garage, I watched this video and now that I'm resting with a glass of water, I'm still watching your show! Love it!
Love the giant silicon mold for concrete. Window sills always end up damaged from sun light and plants. Concrete ones, that would never happen. Tons of ideas besides the shower in this video. Great work.
You brothers are having so much fun, you are like 2 little kids in the mud and having a blast. Thanks you have giving me hope. I have to tear out my kitchen to build a temporary wall to tear out my back external wall because some idiot built it incorrectly so it rotted. Pray for me!!!
I’m so glad I watched this !
Although my husband is a speciality contractor, we have no issues when someone calls with questions on their DIY in our nitch. We also love DIY, well more me than him.😂
If I make a stamp, I will definitely put a sturdy material on top of silicone to add anti-tear strength and durability to the stamp.
Thank you!
That shower would be awesome with lighting behind it, maybe do a clear layer between, to be used as a light pipe, with Ledstrip along the bottom and top and sides, shining inwards ,
You guys are amazing! Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Being a wood worker, DIY'er, and artist for over 25 years I still have so much more to learn and you're all great teachers! Love Stonecoat! Thanks so very much for sharing!
The reason I'm watching this is because I looked for epoxy countertops and found your channel. Now I can't stop watching your videos.
Pro tip: when making a square to cast make a second internal square, it will save you a ton of silicone and will make it easier to remove the cast piece.
Love the work, might actually set up a workshop of my now and do similar stuff.
Que tipo de cemento y que tipo de resina
Creating a shower stall like this and kitchen back splash walls was a lightweight solution I thought of when designing my tiny house. I also had an idea to run fiber optics throughout the projects so that when finished the epoxy would seal them in and they could be lit up multiple colors from a remote light source. This would not only be an interesting look, like a galaxy in the shower, it would also brighten up a dark shower space.
That would be so cool with lights in it! You Got This, we can not wait to see what you create. Please give our project support a call if you have any questions on your project🙌
Clever idea and lovely, too.
Omg the lights would be amazing!!!
Mike I loved the long-form video complete with mistakes and recovery. Isn't it great that sometimes the mistakes turn out to be a blessing? The aluminum edge turned out to be a mistake as executed but allowed for you to be able to do the chiseled edge which I appreciate much more than a hard edge in this case especially with the wild edge design you did at the top.
I work in construction. I have absolutely no interest in working with epoxy but to show how great you guys are...I subscribed and watched the whole video! Keep up the great work!
You are an amazing craftsman, ditto your employee’s too! It looks like a lot of work, but so worth it , right? Although I haven’t tried anything this large as of yet, the beauty of the end result has me saying, “oh yes, so worth it!” What a service you are giving your CZcams subscribers! I know you must have had to go through a lot of trials and tribulations to learn what you have mastered, say nothing about the expense of the material you must have had to endure, (I know the expense of just the small amount of supplies I’ve bought, they are expensive AF!) while doing any project. What I’m getting at is, you’ve saved your CZcams viewer’s a lot of time and money by teaching a masterclass for all of us to learn from. This is better than going to a trade school to learn the craft you have taught us all!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, wallet & beyond! Happy Happy New Year’s to You and your phenomenal crew! You guys are truly the best!
The best part of this is having your employees get hyped along with you! LOL! They are all so happy when it happens! When you love what you do, it isn't work! Great job!
This was such a real tutorial! I love the fact that you showed all the mistakes and ways to cope with them.
PS they do make it waterproof MDF, you can leave it outside all year long and nothing will happen to it. It’s all about the glue that they use in it.
Oh right on thank you for the tip! We appreciate you taking the time to watch and to comment. We would love to see some of your work!🙌
Cement sheet while heavier would also do the job well. I like how the team went for it and didn't stop till they were convinced of their happiness or need to rework (sand insert).
The attention you put in making those slabs, making them precise, reinforcing them, is mind-smurching.
Good job, guys! It looks great. I like your creativity. Just one thing I would do is lay out the three panels next to each other and pour all three at once, yet keep them separate. That way, when you install, you have vein match on all three walls. So keep up the good work. I look forward to your new innovative ideas.” 😊
Looks awesome! Im interested to give this a go! I have a bath company, and we install the 2 day shower. Ive done them in 1 day, but average it's 2. We mostly do acrylic wall panels, and kohler has a synthetic stone. Ill be honest, your walls blow theirs out of the water. Kohler recommends to retail thier shower systems starting around $10,000! Acrylic showers run around $6,500. Im thinking your showers would go $10,000+ easily! It's got my wheels turning I'll tell you that! Only thing I can suggest as far as installation is using a sausage caulk gun for gluing your panels. I even have a cordless powered one. Also all the manufacturers require roughly 4 inch circles of glue tightly applied to your drywall, or backing of choice. Again, great job and look forward to see the next one!!

Just did a 12,400 $ bathroom this one looks better ,lighter , feel sad that my customers spend all that money... saving them honestly goes along way ... and now I can do showers and counter tops And make steady income not a bulk and drought and bulk n drought ... imma use this and game change things
Hey I've done a ton of mold pouring and something you're gonna wanna get is a big vibratory for the molds. It gets all the little air pockets out of the mold so you'll never open one up and have those tiny pockets on ridges. It saves time so when you think it's done you don't have to patch those air pocket bubbles.
I was thinking the same thing or at least taking an air hammer and running it all along the bottom somehow.
with epoxy u just need heat.....thats what the torch is for removin air bubbles
@@jakestella2678 Not sure if you missed the part where I said I've done a ton of mold pouring, but the heat only works if the epoxy is very thin. In a mold the epoxy is very deep and thick which causes air pockets to get stuck in the bottom and around any detailed parts. You see I haven't watched 50 or so of these videos and think I have actual knowledge of how all this works. I know I have actual knowledge of how all this works because I've done this for years as a job and this was the first time they have tried molds so I figured I'd pass along my experience to help them out, not so internet trolls can think they know more than me. The thing that should have told you I may know what I'm talking about is how long this comment has been up and your the first person to try to tell me I'm wrong, that shoulda been a clue.
Yes like a vibrator table.Take not e ^^^^this guy knows what he’s talking about .
@@coverup7428 Actually with the smaller molds they're doing that would work really good, you could put multiple molds on the same work area and get the same effect. All of my experience is with very large molds, we made septic tanks (and their caps). Obviously they're made of concrete and because of the size a vibrating table is out of the question. So we had a tool that looked kinda like a 10 foot long water hose with a domed tip that vibrated intensely, holding it for long periods would make your joints hurt like hell that night after work. So we would take this tool with thick rubber gloves on and run it into the concrete to the bottom of the mold and then drag it around the mold pausing periodically so that the vibrating would work out all the air pockets and after we went all the way around the mold we'd move on to the next mold. The fun part was when someone would forget to spray the molds with oil so that the concrete would release and we had to figure out how to get the tank out of its mold without breaking the molds cus the tanks can be replaced easily whereas the molds for making the tanks were not so easily replaced or repaired if damaged so making sure they were all coated before pouring was important but when in a hurry because you have a cement truck full of quickly drying concrete. It was forgotten about a few times and then we had alot of fun trying to figure out how to fix that.
This is definitely cool stuff. My uncle once used MDF in a jacuzzi room for sound and moisture barriers and it worked absolutely amazing. The basement flooded during a storm and when they pulled the damaged wood. The MDF was dry and still usable.
Wow. I’ve done shower pans I have done many showers using every kind of material , but genius! I love the idea of mold making to stamping your concrete ! I love epoxy and I am super jealous of all your tools ! I want to come out and learn! Thanks guys for sharing and being real. Jobs generally don’t go the way we plan, but that is when the fun kicks into high gear !!! Can’t wait to see more videos. !
Stunning shower and of course quality professional work, I’m impressed of your accurate measurements, there’s no. double/triple checking. You measure,cut and install with a perfect fit. Amazing.
I have been watching your videos since you started them. Damn happy to see a blue collar chasing their dreams and getting it!! Custom painter & commercial painter for 26 years and construction industry over 30 yrs. Your home is absolutely stunning! Good for you brother!!
I started my own construction business about 2 years ago with about 12 years experience. I've been doing the standard, decks, roofs, kitchen and bathroom remodels. I've been looking for ways to expand and enhance what I have to offer my clients. This shower is absolutely amazing! $600 in materials and I could easily charge $4k to $6k for that around my area! Thank you guys for showing us how to do what you do! New follower here for sure
Wow fellas,
I've sat through two videos the first being kitchen counter tops being done and now shower walls being made and coated with the exact same product. I'M SOLD . I have planning in place of buying a large storage shed and converting it to a very sweet place to live out the rest of my days. I had a home that was bought and paid for that was a total loss to fire and I am truly excited to learn the things I have learned tonight. Thanks a million guys. I do have some questions if anyone is available to respond. I notice this video is aged a little but after subscribing I have already gotten notice of another video that flashed up as I am still watching this one . I love this stuff man .
This is my favorite of your videos, so far ~ You took a lot of time to explain everything as you were going along, repleating some of the more important information, which is good for retention purposes...Thank you again - I'm getting myself ed-u-macated before I strike out on my new countertop adventure - soon, very soon!!
Just wanted to thank and salute you guys. Very wise and righteous of you men to share your skills, pro tips 'n tricks of the art, and experience so openly. You create a huge headstart for anyone interested in using epoxy resin, and you build up your world by having such generosity, kindness, and foresight 🤘🏼🖤💪🏼
Incredible video, showing all the tools, how they can be used, and a true and genuine "LIVE" work, with mistakes, improvisation, and intelligence. WELL DONE !!! GOD BLESS YOU
I love the raw content. I love how even the mistakes, and improvising was shown. Very informative. My countertops are amazing, and I am doing my showers up with stone coat products.
Thank you for your kind words and support. We want to leave it out all on the table! Any ideas on what style of look you're going to make your shower?
Glad it's helpful
@@StoneCoatCountertops My shower, i plan to do a pearl white base coat, then pale blue marbling/ splotching with an exotic pour. Then put a bold Lapis lazuli colored streak angled across 3 panels (all to look connected). The Lapis Lazuli will have streaks of black and metalic silver. Then do cracking with black and silver over the whole piece.
@@majystm7415 that sounds awesome
@@majystm7415 I'd love to see pictures of your shower and counters.
I have always wanted to do stuff like this and was so scared, y'all have made me feel confident that I can do this. I'm in the process of buying a house and I will be doing some of the projects. 😃👏
I am creating foam and fiberglass countertops and shower for my van and I used a PVC trim from home depot instead of your mdf edge. I also used it for hardware fasteners and mounting bolts.
You guys give us a hope that creating such Masterpiece could also be a so much fun process making! I feel that way when I paint the room or plant my garden seedlings or put tiles on a floor. But I've never felt anything like I'm feeling now, watching you creating this mind blowing work! And you have such an amazing sense of humor))) Can't wait to cover my boring kitchen island with something wonderful! God bless your heart!
I'll live in a van down by the river, so long as that van has Stone Coat Epoxied pink foam walls inside!
I Love your enthusiasm for what you do, Mike & friends!! This world would be a better place if everyone loved their jobs the way you guys do!!
You have given me the courage to use these ideas in my tiny house that I am building
My counters turned out great with your instructions. My only take away was choosing the Butcher block to do so.
The next one I went with thicker plywood and once again your instructions paid off.
Now I am back for the foam for the bathroom instructions. Great classes. Keep up the good work.
This is so cool! I would've loved to see you tape all three panels together for the pour, so you could've book-matched the veins horizontally/diagonally through the entire shower. I'm curious to see how this holds up over time. It seems to me like there is a few places for moisture and condensation to accumulate, and mold is no joke.
The homeowner will be lucky if it lasts a year. The major problems are that the shower door is only attached to foam that's siliconed to sheetrock, the sheetrock went down into the pan and the type of foam he used allows mold to grow surprisingly fast. He also overstated the price of granite. Granite usually sells for $20-$30 a foot and he said there is less than 100 feet of walls in the shower. And when installed properly a granite shower will last anywhere from 50-100 years or longer. So it would better to go ahead and spend the money the first time instead of doing something like this a year later you have to tear it all out repair all the mold damage the redo it again. I've been remodeling kitchens and bathrooms for over 20 years, and this guy said he "learned how to do this by watching videos about how to make surfboards". If you look at the problems they had they were problems a professional would not make. This guy is makes countertops and watched a few videos about how to make surfboards and calls himself a professional but you can tell by his comments that he has never done this before. And he said he used $600 in epoxy but doesn't say anything about the cost of the dies, paints, foam boards, fiberglass, mixing buckets and cups, brushes and rollers, plastic to cover everything and what he charged for the install. All things considered that bathroom probably costed $3000 or more and if you add the cost of having to have it repaired and redone in a year it would be cheaper to get the granite the first time and you know it will last.
@@keywilliam1 When he said "I've never done this before" it also made me think he's never done this before.
@@GrrillaFinger 😂😂😂
@@keywilliam1 I watched this video from start to finish, @Tokamak 904, and there is a section where they show how the foam is removed and replaced with another material so that the shower doors have good solid anchoring spots near the top and bottom on each side panel. Maybe at about 43 minutes???
Sprinkle copper and silver powder throughout and it will be anti mold and anti microbial
New Viewer here, looks great btw. I would just like to say that I like when you are doing something and your guys ask a question, not that they don't know what they are doing. But because they know the viewers have the same questions. Feels like I'm watching a cool teacher.
I love this video. This gives me so many valuable options that I NEVER would have thought of taking a chance on. Very simple, seems way to easy. Trying to expand my painting business to countertops and now I'll have to seriously consider custom shower rooms. You guys are awesome.
I'm 62yr old I've never had a new home. Great job, Great show. But I can still dream.Amen 😊
5k for the shower and you two are bloody priceless. Great vid lads. Heart and soul went into that one. 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
When pouring your mold use a vibration type tool to help get the air pockets out of the molds and get the mix into small areas.
Just purchased my first property. Best investment of my personal time these past 3 years, has to be watching your videos. I'm so ready. I'll be a customer very soon my friend
I was glued from start to finish with this I love how your mind is always working you find solutions to problems without any hesitation and ur work is so unique I wish you were in the UK so you could create this magic in my bathroom
I'm planning a master bath remodel on a small budget, and this is going to done forsure in the shower! Love the videos and work that you and your crew are doing, keep it up!!
Wow that was just amazing. I'm at loss for words, but this will definitely be a place for new memories to be made for that family. You guys are rock stars with your craft.
You tube thought I should watch this, glad I did. The wood blocks for the hinges was smart thinking, the MDF strip was lucky, good mix. As far as MDF, I’ve coated cardboard with fiberglass and resin and it has survived multiple WNY winters outside. I’ve also have done wood repairs with epoxy, pro tip- use the solvent for the epoxy being used to thin to water like consistency, it soaks into the wood and turns it into plastic. This really has me thinking as I have used the EPS, XPS, EVA foam boards in projects past. I’ve always thought the heat from the resins curing would melt, warp the foam.
I have to say, you all made a tear hit my eye. what I just watched makes me think. I am gonna tell my children to find something that makes them happy, and be the best at it. If you want to do something different then just make sure your the best at what you do before you move on to something else. there is nothing better than looking back at a project and saying I did that and being proud of it. thank you for this, I needed this. Keep doing what your doing and god bless you all!!!
I really loved this shower! I would love the shiny instead of matte look. It is beautyfull!
I made molds when I was working with clay.... this is great. I am re-doing two showers, Mike! It’s next on my list after the floor!
So cool!
Cool idea
What type and brand of silicone you use for the mold? I feel soooo inspired right now!!👏🏼👏🏼😍😍🙏🙏
This is such a magnicalent transformation. I'm blown out by the small cost actually. You such an awesome teacher. Thank you
You guys are totally incredible. Great personality awesome teacher and heart of Gold. Giving others a chance to master something that can change their financial situation. Love you guys. God bless you all and family always.
mee, you should put all 3 pieces in line when pouring, so you get a continuous pattern from one slab to another. Also huge patterns in tight paces look out of scale. So you should break into smaller pattern and and give lots of detail. Also you may want to do a little gradual, lighter at the bottom, darker at the top. make a contrast with a darker floor. Shower hardware should be chrome or gold to give a contrast.
Wondering how waterproof and mold proof this is? Doesn’t take much to get steam or condensation behind those panels.
Yeah, when he said he wasnt going to caulk the bottom I was like WTF?
well there is some air space behind the panels due to the dots, if you caulked the bottom moisture would never get out from behind them. the air in their will temp change when the showers on and generate moisture no matter what, this way it has a way out and should drain out on top of the concrete and out in to the shower pan.
the pinkboard and epoxy are about as water proof as it gets, but the walls behind it will be porous enough to let condensation seep in from behind
@@NogrimStonesonWouldnt moisture be able to wick out from the top of the panels? He didnt close them off from above either.
it's not waterproofed. This will be a nightmare for mold and rot. It will need to be replaced in 5 years. This guy is an idiot
@@rosegold7975 That black coating behind their panels is a rubberized water proof roll on coating. Don't be a dick.
OMG! I don't even own a house yet but when I buy, which I plan on doing soon, you have given me so many ideas!!! I'm excited! I am so glad I stumbled upon your videos. These are the most informational I've found yet and totally fun to watch! Y'all are awesome!!! ❤
Love the entire concept with the foam walls, wondering why if you even could ad texture to the foam before the fiberglass. To give it a stone/rock finish. Or even block effect.
I'd be worried about the backside of the foam. Big concern is mold but had you done fiberglass on both sides it would have been stronger. Looks great though.
This was the most impressive video I have ever seen.
Totally unbelievable that foam panels could look so much like a granite Slab, I plan on trying a project where I could use this Technique
@Simon Templar I have seen a few posts mentioning this concern. My question is this - what things would you need to change or what additional steps or materials would you need to add to make this process 100% successful- meaning it is clean, durable for at least a decade probably longer, is easy to clean and maintain, etc...
This looks so promising for so many different applications. Is the vapor barrier the only thing that is also needed?
@Simon Templarthat part would be common sense. I think most anyone who would actually try this would have sense to do everything they can to protect themselves from moisture.
In Flint Mi looking for great ideas to remodel the bathroom of the house I just bought. I'm 6'3" and I haven't had a tub big enough for me since the early 80's. I've considered old claw foot cast iron, but they are rare, and heavy. Your idea with the inset shelf has got me thinking about designing my own tub, silicon mold, epoxy/play sand mix for the pour to make the tub.
If you are going to tape foam you should use the foam board tape. Regular tyvek tape adhesive will melt foam and release bond.
You know….You guys just keep pushing out better and better projects and content. I’ve been waiting for this video, and it was absolutely hands down worth the wait. My favorite tutorial and project to date! Thank you all so much! 👍👍👍👍🙌🙌
Thank you so much! What would you like to see next?
@@MikeQuist- can you show the demo and build process for a shower prior to foam board installation? Like what type of material to put behind the foam board. I’m a widowed mom and need direction, LOL! I would also like to see you a jacuzzi tub surround remodel. 😁
@@sandysanders4199 they are finish workers not carpenters/builders.
@@denisewilson8367 they renovated the entire house. They pulled out the old shower material and built it back up from scratch.
I understand you waterproofed the walls. I didn't see where you sealed the back of the panels with epoxy. I didn't hear you mention that you caulked where the panels contact the pan. Water has a way of getting into places (former remodeler here) especially with showers. Are you not concerned about mold on the back of the panels. I love the idea of this method and I think a lot of people would be interested in the details of the pan. LOVE the mold you made for the floor, that was really creative...
They don’t epoxy the back of the panels because it’s just foam.
As a tile installer (not my favorite thing, I prefer my hardwoods), and someone who has done custom showers, I understand the epoxy is waterproof, and that silicone is waterproof, but you're still relying on there never getting a hole in the silicone.
I'd be much more comfortable with even a liquid/roll on membrane, like ardex 8+9 or something behind the panels for when the silicone gets those punctures
@@michaeloliver6745 So was the front and they put epoxy on that, so why not the back? Black mold is a serious issue. Silicone does not last and will usually/always fail at some point. Not looking for an argument, just saying as someone who's done custom shower installs, if you don't do it correctly you can/will have major problems. Water is very unforgiving, particularly in showers. Would just like them to expand specifically on that issue. Using silicone for the caddy is not an issue but when you get down to the pan and panels, that's where problems can/will arise...
@@bloodsport5112 can't answer that one. I only know that the water won't penetrate the foam. I agree about the mold for sure, its dangerous. Maybe you'll get an answer yet.
Stunning video. It’s gorgeous. Would absolutely for my event space !
Really appreciate your enthusiasm for your work and the artistic approach to your shower project. The finished product looks tremendous and it was great fun watching you create it.
I really enjoyed watching this masterclass! Thank you for all your insight. It’s so nice to not only know what to do but why you do it that particular way, which you do a wonderful job explaining through each and every step. I even appreciated the unedited mistakes and following through fixing them. Your shower turned out so beautiful!! It goes perfectly with the whole “nature” ambiance of the cabin’s location.
My only question is why did you choose to go with foam panels instead of wood? Was it to match the drainage slope of the shower pan with greater precision? Who would have thought foam could result in such an elegant, durable, authentic looking marble slab shower wall?!? Thanks again!
Alice thank you so much, happy to hear! You can use either. Foam is lighter, You Got This! Excited to see your work🙌
I love that it mimics the rocks you'd come across on mountainous hikes, it's really great. Only thing I'd change is probably changing the orientation of the in-set shelf, I feel like for most shower items horizontal is more efficient than vertical like you put it and would look more natural
You want them to cut through studs so it looks better?
@@timthefosterdad you mean like all those windows in your house? .. it could have been planned for ahead of time and boxed out correctly.
@@jeremyr7147 "All those windows in your house" are framed correctly and planned ahead of time. The amount of work it would take to do this correctly would be far more than the scope or intent of this video without it being a shoddy job.
@@timthefosterdad Thing is, though, they did cut through a stud. :D
Had to add a comment to help the youtube algorithm. I'm an artist who's done a very limited amount of carpentry, tile, and home improvement projects. Currently my artwork has moved towards gourd pyrography and table-top gaming miniatures. I have seen many people using resin pours for many different projects but nothing at this scale. I love watching your work. I love that you show your trials, errors and fixes! Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m 6’4”, I know that pain!!! OUCH!!! That’s getting into your project right there! I’ll be watching this in segments. I’ve been waiting for this!! Love all your content, you’re way ahead of anyone! All of your success and skills and yet you stay humble, that’s a truly great spirit!
Question, Why the composite board instead of the pvc?
Great question, the PVC wasn't available, out of stock
Gotta improvise with all the supply chain shortages
@Simon Templar I’ll keep that in mind even though it’s not related to my comment. I am confident that Mike knows his work
That is my perfect shower, most people might think that was too dark, but I absolutely love it! Great job, I don't know that it saves all that much labor though, you were very excited about it only taking 11 minutes to install but that didn't include the labor intensive project of creating the panels or the shelf or the threshold, I definitely think the best part of this diy project is the cost savings, that's a serious selling point for me
Before you torched the edge of the foam, I was thinking it would be cool if you carved an irregular, live edge bezel. You and Mitch have twin voices. :-) You guys are so creative and enjoyable to watch, I'd like to learn whatever you have to teach! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love both you dudes!!Thank you as an artist and builder of all kinds of stuff This information is so valuable
The making of the stamp, was extremely informative.
Thanks!!!
We're glad you took something from that! Got any plans to make a mold?
@@StoneCoatCountertops
Yes, but is your silicone as tough as Smooth On products? What I usually use.
I liked ease of the wet cement stamp. Especially, as the shower floor would be just as easy to do a side walk or stepping stones.
Rounded corners on the stamp is a good idea, but I would add an overlapping 90 degree corner stamp.
............
My "sick!!!" Idea (your term) family crest, logo, etc, about a quarter inch high...custom stamp for room/office entrances, shower floor, etc.
Any knowledgeable stone person should be perplexed...at this physically impossible stone.
..............
You spoke the truth...no fear, just do it! There is always a first time for anything.
or try real hard and learn from the mistakes, then do it again, but better.
"Can't never could!!!"
Did it spark a project idea?
@@MikeQuist- A cheap but excellent finishing technique, and being a flexible mold, and looks like marble, stone, etc.
............
I just, as writing this...
IDEA!!!
Fake stone, go cast a fossil sculpture.
The club house at Atlanta Motor Speedway did it.
The fossils were boring, but the staircase and walls were clad in fake stone. Really impressive way to make a no window metal staircase...FUN!
But, an ancient spiral sea shell , at a nice height for tourist's pictures. The rest were boring or bad picture angle.
Jurassic shower!
............
How much money and materials was on the rock mold, itself.
Uhm...Please!
And does it need a full 24 hours? Even though it pulled perfectly, so I need to shut up!
Thanks again, for the tricks of the trade.
I love this master class, it's so real. Including the gnarly boo-boo, ouch Mike!
Gina many thanks my friend. We would love to see your work! 🙌
Retired paint / het with the mdf thin some oil base undercoat just to seal it from any moisture cheers guys love ya work
Its good to see were all alike in our respective fields of expertise. Ive been a madon since 1985 and ive had epic fails too. You just have to reload and keep shooting. Cool stuff your doing here. I love it. I can do concret and tile but this looks way neater, like a whole new plane.
Mike, I've been building large custom bathroom showers for 25 years. I'm a huge Schluter installer. I'm wondering if there will ever be an issue with “vapor drive”? Also, spot bonding makes for huge issues. Using a 1/4” “V” notched trowel will insure there is adequate coverage. Looks great though.
rigid foam board is a vapour barrier and can be used in place of 6mil poly. I'm not sure their corners are well sealed but the faces should be good.
@@binaryblade2 It’s still won’t stand up to vapor drive regardless of how “closed” the cell in the ridgid board is.
Huge leaks coming in the future !!!
What would you recommend using then?
Today is the first time I started watching your videos and I must admit, I’m hooked. Been watching for hours cast to my tv. Awesome work guys…truly amazing.
Thank you for your comment. Don't forget to Subscribe. You Got This!
I work with epoxy and epoxy is the bomb when u need to use it to weather proof and adhere things. Those molds are freaking AWESOME
You guys are so rad... Love how you think outside the box JUST ENOUGH so that you save thousands of dollars by making your own molds, etc ... LOVED this video
Thanks guys this was great. I would encourage you to figure out a water proof alternative to the MDF for the long leading edge. Epoxy is good but all it takes is a little nick or crack and water will find its way through. What about composite board?
I thought they would do an under layer before installing this stuff so any water that gets through would drain anyway but guess not.
And no silicone between panels and joints ? 🤔 how is this water 💧 proof ?
Sweet video!
I've been thinking about trying epoxy over pink panther foam boards!
I have used epoxies in my own art and I've helped a guy create a "Country-Western" style countertop ( he welded a horseshoe to a hammer, then beat a plywood top and stained indentations!! LOL!) years ago.
Question: is the final coat a harder surface than the initial epoxies you used?
- I've never used that type of "Super-Glue" before neither, was hoping y'all were going to mention it in a little more detail.
Watched video, in it's entirety, in one sitting, fully entertained!
...even had some juggling!
I mean, what more can we ask ?!!
Great job!
He is so engaging by including the viewers to what they're doing, I felt like a kid again watching a New Version of "Mister Rogers DIY Neighborhood". AWESOME!!!😃👍
I have floating walls on mine. This means a 4.5-inch edge that my shower glass is going to. For that part to keep it able to hold up the heavy glass, I have solid wood all the way down and a wood top for the bench that is epoxy coated. Then I started on the foam boards!
( I ripped out a garden tub to build my shower. So new divider/floating walls I built. )
You guys are absolutely awesome to watch, you could legit have your own tv show and could guarantee success on it. So informative and entertaining, love it. Thank you for all the content and tips fellas, Team work makes the dream work!
You are too kind! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. We would love to see what you create🙌
