Very helpful video. Thank you!
The manufacturers do not show you the details of prepping so thank you for doing so .
You are so very welcome!! 😊. Thank you for watching!!
Greatly appreciate the time and experience you share with all of us.
You are very welcome!!! Thank you for watching!!!
Thank you for the refresher! Sometimes trying to cut corners and it always comes back and slapped across the face.
Yes ma'am and unfortunately I am guilty of that myself!! Thanks for watching!!
Excellent training video. You, being a bonifide pro confirmed that my amateur butt did it right!
Perhaps you would consider showing how to do a counter with an overhanging bar top?
Thank you so much. We will actually be installing a countertop that will have a hangover the first of next month. We will be filming and posting on CZcams 😊
This is exactly what I needed. Getting ready to do this. Hope to see you at the Artisan Summit in April!!! After I watched your talk from last year, You're an inspiration to me!👍
I'm so very glad. I want to be doing more of these types of videos. Thanks for watching and can't wait to meet you in Vegas!!!
Awesome video. Great information. Thank you so much for your videos. You answered all my questions and especially ones I didn't know to ask!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving some feedback. This really helps me!!
i love your work and your attention to detail and the ability to convey it xo
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate you watching!
Lol, my husband also "over preps" so I can relate.
Love your videos. Such beautiful work. I've started the process to epoxy my bathroom countertop and this will be my first time working with epoxy. I've run into a situation that I haven't seen an example of and wondered if you had any ideas. How do I dam off a tiled in under mounted sink? The sink is built in but I don't want to epoxy it. And the built-in back splash also lands directly on the back of the sink basin. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Great job on the video! Very good info for those who have no idea, or need a little confidence builder that theyre on the right track. And a good reminder to professionals to go the extra distance with their prep work. A change of subject, i havent seen or heard much on your progress with your leg. I see in the video you are wearing your brace and getting along fairly well, as it appears. How is the brace working out? And hows your pain management?
Thank you so much for asking. I'm doing AMAZING! My leg device has been a true life-changer!!!!
@@RK3Designs Thats great news! A well deserved blessing! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for this. What if your countertops have been done with a rustoleum counter top kit with flakes, do I need to sand the countertops and if so what sand paper should I get?
I would definitely sand. I’m not familiar with the Rustoleum kit, so I’m not sure of the texture it has. I would say start with maybe a 100 grit to help level the texture, then go to a 220 to smooth it out. You won’t need to sand it all the way down just get it nice and smooth. Then I would prime and paint it and continue from there. 😊
Great video! Im about to try the Stone Coat as soon as I finish watching all the videos I can. Question- What if I cant remove the kitchen sink? Can i treat it the same as a black splash Im keeping? Like taping it off then sealing with silicone caulk?
Thanks. I’m glad you like it. Yes. You can pour in place and still keep your sink. Just make sure you pull your tape before it sets up too much and rips. That’s not fun 😂. Good luck 😊😊
@@RK3Designs hello. At what point do you pour your clear coat and pull the tape?
So what about the backsplash if you are doing a dirty pour, and you make a damn around the other edges. What do you do with the backsplash edge so to speak?
If you are going to keep the backsplash in place then you’ll just let the epoxy run up next to the backsplash. If you’re going to be removing the backsplash, do it before you pour and then fill in any cracks between the countertop and the wall. Then just let the epoxy run up next to the wall. Then install your new backsplash on top.
If you leave the sink area open to splash below, have you ever had issues with it getting on the walls or doors from splashing up?
I usually tape plastic across the hole and normally don't let it just run over. If you do, I would tape or paper the wall and door. I should have been more specific in my explanation of that. Sorry about that, but thanks for your feedback. Really helps me out a lot!!! Thanks for watching!
@@RK3Designs You are very welcome!! It was very informative!! 🤗😍
I've found that cardboard works best for me. I collect cardboard boxes from everywhere. I break them down flat and carry a bunch of them to each job. After my plastic I push the cardboard up to the counters, cut to size and tape down. Then I use the paper to cover the rest of the flooring. I literally leave no part of the floor uncovered. I've had to clean up too many messy floors. It's a lot easier to cover completely.
That's a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing.
I can't find what to do with a shiny Formica bathroom countertop with a 90° strip of Formica on the front (not the backsplash).

I did and didn't see a reply.
@@marileecassidy7393 I’ve not received anything. Let me look in my spam folder.
@@RK3Designs thanks, I sent it on 4/30/2021
That’s the easy part I just can’t figure out how to ease the edge of my ugly laminate countertop. I’m just sitting on my project because I can’t find how to start doing the edge. Can you make a video?
Yes Kim, I'm going to be doing more of these types of videos. Most of the time you can router or sand your edges with low grit sandpaper.
