Epoxy Countertop with Sink and Backsplash in Place | Stone Coat Epoxy

🔴Did you see the durability testing at the end of the video, what durability test do you want to see on the next video?👀

This is what my kitchen counter needs. Your sister is so lucky to have you for a brother!

I really appreciate that you show the prep work. So often videos skimp over this part and that kind of devalues how important that step is. This definitely makes me take prep so much more seriously ☺️

You just gave me the inspiration and option of a doable + affordable alternative to what I had thought was my only option - replacing a very worn out laminate bathroom countertop. I can't thank you enough for your very thorough and understandable step-by-step video. Well done, sir!

These are the type of instruction videos needed. Most people including myself want to do bathroom or kitchen countertops that are fastened with back splashes. I have held off on my projects because of the backsplash. Fighting gravity with the product is an issue for me and probably most other people. Many videos show a flat panel separate from whatever cabinet it will be on top of where control isn't an issue.

You're such a good teacher! And the camera person also did an amazing job. Thank you!

24:43 It's attention to little details like coating the underside of the counter edge to help make the job be more durable is what I appreciate in experts like this guy. Thanks for taking the time to do that small but thoughtful detail.

Mitch you are the Bob Ross (painter) of Epoxy Countertop layering. This was a pleasure to watch and learn. You definitely know how to build and invoke confidence for the at home DYI's out here. Thank you, I will be a subscriber.

First, I have to say that you have the ideal personality to present info like this. On top of that, you clearly love what you do. I somehow find your videos amazingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for this and for showing that patience leads to perfection.

Oh man, that epoxy under the front counter edge... Flippin OP pro tip right there 🤌 as an apartment maintenance tech, the number of units I would walk into with that area just bulging and crusty dusty, normally we'd smooth it out and move on unless the counter was toast but it was always so nasty thinking about what that stuff was exposed to and had growing it...

Pro tip: Sand everything BEFORE you tape & plastic up everything. It's NEVER a good idea to have dust particles, from sanding, all over the tape, plastic, etc. This way your area is literally clean for pour PLUS when you pull off the plastic and tape....no sanding dust will get in your new epoxy. That tape around sink has to be pulled off while epoxy is wet so sanding dust is going to get in it.

It is sweet how proud he is of her sister.

I used just the stone spray to refinish my old fireplace. The fireplace started as a dark brown grout with rust and brown stone color. Went over the entire surface with the sandstone color x 2 coats to even the color base and provide the grout color. Then once dry, I taped the grouted surface area to prevent over spray. I used 4 colors of stone textured spray, individually taping and spraying each stone, varying color to mock field stone. That was many years ago, and it still looks amazing even after a ton of fires! (FYI this is near the field stone front of house and it matches!) Amazing product that lasts!

So amazing I wish I had the health and strength to do this to my kitchen and bathrooms. My home is 23 years old and nothing had ever been updated until 2 years ago that we put down some waterproof flooring took out all the wall papers and painted but I have had 4 surgery in the last 2 years and and everything stopped as we can no longer afford to put any more money into the house with all the medical bills. I pray to God I can at some point see my kitchen and bathrooms done.

Your prepping is perfection, I couldn’t do it better myself. You really pay attention to detail, no skipping corners. love it.

I appreciate the details about the prep work. I want to epoxy my countertops, but I am worried about screwing it up. This gives me more confidence.

It so nice to see family work together and I love the vanity must do

I was insanely stressed out and worried about money. Then I found these and this guy is skilled so I’m going to watch these and do the steps and enjoy his training. Thanks sir for your time and sharing this stuff not alot of people have dads that help them or teach them how to do this kind of stuff. If you don’t have kids I hope you get to someday. The world could use more good people like you.

Thank you for showing all the prep! It really drives home how important prep is. Watching a lot of these videos they skip over that step and the plastic and drop cloths just show up. Great video

I really like watching what you have done to plain countertops. I did my kitchen counters 2 years ago, they came out wonderful. Have since sold that house but where we are now, I making plans for doing the same thing again.
