techniques of how to make an old kitchen table mimic marble they're world famous on youtube and
they're going to reveal their secrets in this video for free they're going to show you how to
up level any piece of furniture you won't believe what they can create using these techniques
this is a good one stay tuned enjoy the video what's up y'all i'm erica this is jeff
i'm jeff and we're artists till death we do artwork in dallas texas in our live work
space every day we teach on youtube usually it's resin but it's always artwork and we wanted to
stop in and show you guys how we pulled off this awesome white marble finish using this stone coat
white marble kit we've been using stone coat for three and a half years four years three now 37
years a long time many years and it's one of those it's one of those we love the product
we love everybody out at still coat and we wouldn't think of anything else to use
to take this really boring dull kitchen kitchen table yeah and turn it into
a piece of artwork for a kitchen what is up you guys we are in my parents home in
middle of nowhere alabama and today right now in this moment we are working on this table for my
sister right along the edge i could probably heat this up and it would probably just pop off of here
but it's so old it it's literally just coming off as i scrape it there you go so the first step that
we did was that um we tarped this whole floor area because resin on floors is not fun unless you're
planning on actually resonating your floor so it's finally time to resin this bad boy
right here this is jessica's dining room table so we're starting with 48 ounces prior to this
jeff set the resin in front of a space heater that one right there in order to thin the resin
just a little bit because it is colder here so it helps the resin to be more workable you have to make sure you fully
incorporate the part a and part b together making sure to scrape the sides the bottom of
your bucket and whatever stir stick you're using because it'll stick to all those so you want to
make sure that everything is fully incorporated the resin that we're using
today because i don't have my countertop resin is stone coats art code it has
a lot of the properties of the countertop resin and i love working with it
it's the best resin i know spreading your resin around you just want to bring
it just to the edge but not over so that as much of your product stays on the surface as possible
you don't want it to roll over just yet as soon as you like give resin a way out it's gonna take
it and since this is a table we don't really have that much control over how level it is it's as
level as we can get it but any percent off will make their resin run off since it's self leveling
it's going to try to find the lowest point and get there hey mike here this would mean a ton
to me if you checked out artists till death on youtube and you hit that subscribe button
tell them stonecoat sent you i want to have them back on our channel again show them
why stonecoat helps them grow you got this it's great already my buddy jeff uses the paint
stick and he lays down color he's starting with a a medium gray and he's going to go darker
as he proceeds but he also uses a roller in a really cool fashion and i think i'm going to
plagiarize that technique he really softens the lines pay attention to this video this is how
you make things look like marble if you want just feathers it out and kind of trails it
yeah kind of chaotic but nice granite fade if you think about it marble is obviously
made by nature and nature is very random very random it's perfect in its imperfection
so you don't want to be like too linear to um what's the word too refined with it because
it's not supposed to be so the basic process was to paint the base of the table white and then we
laid down some transparent or light shaded soft milky kind of white translucent almost diluted
white and then we put a more opaque white down we started then with the light shades of
gray and just feathered them out with a roller a small roller small roller figured a
roller would pick it up and then put it down elsewhere as you rolled it and it kind of smushes
it out and gives it more of a marble effect right building color like this even makes
those like faint lines look even better so this roller is pre-loaded
with the first gray that we did we don't want to load it with this darker one
because it'll make the white marble turn into not white marble anymore it'll get too muddy
so since the roller is already pre-loaded from the first time around we're just going
to jump straight into rolling the new lines it's crazy how much you think you
need to mix up especially with the color like this like the black you
you need maybe two to four ounces like because you're not pouring it on you're
putting it on with a little stick and you know you're controlling it you don't
need a lot to control it so you don't want to put too much because then your white marble
is going to turn into black mud look at that now that silver sparkles and just
pops not amazing completely amazing remember erica and jeff teach
daily on their youtube channel different techniques that create things that are
exceptional thanks again guys for doing this video for stone coat countertops we built up the
light to dark gray shades all the way to black rolling them out between each color and then
finally we mixed some mica into the alcohol and you spritzed it into lines to give it a little
bit of sparkly sheen on top of it because of the metallic and so that's super simple process
is how we turned a very dull kitchen table into a beautiful one-of-a-kind functional
piece of artwork using stone coat's white how amazing did this table turn out you got this
