Epoxy Design Ideas | Emerald Green Marble Counters

– What's up guys? We make an epoxy countertop with our own hands, a little epoxy. Learn now, stay connected and enjoy the video. I made a piece that day called "Ghost Blue" using only some resin, Ghost Blue Paste from Artist Till Death. That piece turned out to be very beautiful. Then I asked people, "What color should I use in the next recipe I'm using with my hands?" Here's another project idea from this video. Hope these colors work. I have not used them together on a tabletop sample. Watch now. You will see how they look. Even if you haven't already, sign up. We have some amazing content on your way.

This really helps this video take off. Now let's get to work. I mixed Stone Coat epoxy countertops in a one-to-one ratio for a few minutes, and took the time to scrape that bucket so you don't have any sticky spots. Then I colored most of my epoxy black, poured that over my project, and used an 8-inch grade 8 trowel to spread the epoxy evenly over my countertop.

In the next step, I took a slicing brush, a small paintbrush. I wetted that with epoxy, after which I would cut or dip the surface to remove trowel marks. This will also mix the material back onto that surface, ensuring that the epoxy will self-discharge and the rock will cure aggressively. Next, we'll get a heat source, a propane torch, a heat gun, even a blow dryer. Sweeping the surface, this will remove the air that we have combined with the mixing, troweling, and chopping. Ok, now we will take the colored epoxy and apply it to the project. Do this in a random pattern because we'll be back in a minute and using our gloved hands, mix and blend this and give it some flow and direction.

And then the epoxy will do the hard work for you. It will continue self-leveling, mixing , and crystallizing for an hour or so. Stone Coat Epoxy is designed for do-it-yourselfers with a long open working time, so you don't have to be in a hurry. Not all epoxy is created equal, and I mixed up some while I'm in the process here. This stuff starts breeding and smoking and you're stuck searching with a countertop that isn't pretty. Guys, stick with Stone Coat Epoxy. We have designed and formulated this material for the kitchen and bathroom environment. This is where working with epoxy becomes more fun than working.

I take my gloved hands and mix this substance. Then I grabbed a magic trowel cut out, and use these magic trowels for epoxy floors to delaminate and incorporate into giant projects but also work extremely well for your countertop projects. They take on the human look of it, spray those colors, and make that Mother Nature's epoxy kind of natural, which really makes those projects. Then, I just play around and experiment with some of the color leftovers I have, dip the stick in there and kind of make some veins that give it a little direction, in that material. I'm about 40 minutes into mixing and still have plenty of time to make this project look the way you want it to. I'm going to use that magic shovel with such light pressure that you almost jump across this surface and at first you'll think you've made a mistake, but as this self retracts and mixes, it creates wonderful effects somehow you can't any other way.

Another countertop epoxy technique I keep in my back pocket is 91% isopropyl alcohol. I'll spray that in my hands and apply heavy drops. And then I'll go back and hit the real drops of light that have the effect of selling and whipping up your countertop that's a really high end. Hence the last little effect of this project is to dip that magic shovel or mixing stick down into the epoxy, and pull it up, creating tiny fracture lines that look like granite. I'm totally in love with these green and violet colors. I never thought a table top would look so good.
