Great video. My question is the material you use for the high sheen – does it stand up to high heat, life for example putting a hot pot on them?

Thanks, you can create it like what you see or also do a polished concrete look with an overlay method. Take care!

this is SO awesome, thank you. We were considering trying to make a concrete counter top but this looks much easier.

Thanks for the video. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to apply this, and I might try get some and try it out someday. I really would’ve liked to have seen the steps you used to color it.

@adnilem001 BTW the beauty of epoxy is it can be resurfaced cheaply. Granite? FoGetaboutit!

@adnilem001 Urethanes are expensive, really expensing and guess what? They still scratch. I’ve done at least 10000 tables/ bartops using the basic 2 part epoxy and tell everybody the same thing, yeah it will scratch but so will the paint on a Mercedes. You don’t see Mercedes scratched everywhere, know why? It’s called ” being careful.” The video creator does fantastic work and I’d treat it like Mercedes and let everyone know it…

@adnilem001 2 part epoxies scratch easily, end of story. Then again it doesn’t stain like marble or granite. 3 part epoxies are usually a paint to work with due to blushing (amonium salt formation due to moisture ) looking like a cloudy surface. I know I’ve worked with it for over twenty years.

No, as long as it is durable just scuff it up, clean and apply over it!

Great video, I keep watching it over. I have lost my advanced coloration DVD tho, need to get another one

Epoxies are the softest out of all the sealers and need a coat of wax or a coat of solvent based urethane to keep from scratching. My favorite finish is to polish, then apply a penetrating sealer followed by a wax. Take care!

How does your two part epoxy self leveling finish hold up to use? We did a similar counter resurface and used envirotex lite. The finish scratches . We have to be careful with can food or large bowls. Now two almost two years the counter looked like they need to be buffed. How does your finish hold up to every day kitchen use? Thanks
