- I'm turning these additives,
you can get at the Stone Coat Epoxy Color Center,
into a contrasting countertop
that you can pour right over your existing surfaces.
I'm gonna try out the heat gun.
I'm gonna mix and meld a little of these colors
over one another using the heat.
Pretty.
Yeah.
So when you blow the color over one,
spin around and blow it back,
oh, it's pretty.
They meld wonderfully.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
Don't break the bank with those high-end countertops
you can't even install yourself.
Use Stone Coat Epoxy
and save thousands over other countertop options.
This recipe is quick and easy,
stay tuned and enjoy the video.
♪ Oh, you got this ♪
Today, we're going over a piece of wood
that I've applied a drop edge to.
I took a metal fiber sanding disc, and contoured my project
to look like a piece of chiseled stone.
To give it that high definition rock look,
I used a little bit of Bondo, mixed it up,
and applied that with a glove hand.
I let the Bondo dry and sanded away any sharp edges.
I then mixed a little bit of white
and a little bit of black of our epoxy undercoat
to create a gray undercoat.
If you'd like to coat over your existing countertop
and save the time and money on demo,
there's a link right above me
that's gonna take you to the video
that teaches you step-by-step
how to properly prep your smooth surface for epoxy.
I'm now gonna create a tape dam around the perimeter
of my project using masking tape.
This is an optional step.
And if you're on site,
all you'll need to do is tape the front
and sides of your countertops.
I turned this online marketplace table
into an epoxy treasure on one of our videos.

Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy is a one-to-one ratio epoxy.
You mix for two minutes,
pour in part B first followed by part A,
mix for two minutes with a paddle mixer on a drill,
holding that bucket to keep it from spinning.
Midway through mixing, slow the paddle mixer down,
rub the sides and bottom
to incorporate any under mix epoxy clinging
to the sides of that bucket,
and then pick it back up to full speed.
I'm gonna make quick workout of mixing these metallics
into our exotic pour bucket,
by first mixing them into our Epoxy Dispersion Fluid.
The Dispersion Fluid can add some really cool effects
inside those exotic pours,
or whatever epoxy project you're working on.
Titanium, this color is legendary.
We're gonna divide that mixed epoxy
into separate mixing cups, and then tint it individually.
Take each metallic color that you've premixed
in Dispersion Fluid and mix it right into your epoxy.
Makes for simple mixing.
Stone Coat's metallic powder epoxy colors
look great in epoxy countertops, floors,
and will make any epoxy woodworking project pop.
Check out the video description below
to see a detailed list
of all the additives used in this video.
All of Stone Coat's metallic powders
can be found at our Epoxy Color Center.
These metallic powders are very vivid,
extremely color fast, and specifically designed
and engineered for use in epoxy.
So my main bucket's gonna be an earth tone exotic pour,
and my little bucket will be a white marble exotic pour.
I'm gonna combine the two on one project
and see what it gives me.
And then start building that exotic pour bucket
just by randomly pouring in the tinted epoxy.
(Mitch whispers)
And a wee bit of diamond dust,
cause that always takes the project to another level.
This part is simple and super fun.
Just don't take a stick and stir that exotic pour bucket.
The epoxy additives will continue to fight one another
as you add layers,
giving you a realistic looking countertop.
Now I'm gonna build my little white bucket.
Same process here,
just using the white tinted epoxy
with a dash of blue earth.
My exotic pour buckets are built.
They're very easy to do, that was a lot of fun.
Now I'm gonna apply this epoxy right out of this bucket,
and I'm gonna kind of go in a striated stone look.
You could go any way you wish, you could do a ring pour,
you could go front to back, diagonal, whatever you wish.
I'm gonna go side to side
My earth tone is down.
I'm gonna let that self level,
and I'm gonna apply a little bit of my white,
right in between these two.
I added my remaining metallic colors
for one more layer of contrast.
I'm gonna remove some of the air I incorporated
while mixing and stirring all that epoxy with some heat.
I like to use a propane torch,
but you can also use a heat gun, or a blow dryer.
Hold the torch at an inch or so from the surface
in a sweeping motion, torch the entire project.
I'm gonna try out the heat gun.
I'm gonna mix and meld a little of these colors
over one another using the heat.
Pretty.
Yeah.
So, when you blow the color over one,
spin around and blow it back,
oh, it's pretty.
They meld wonderfully.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
Those two colors look sweet together.
Once I started using that heat gun,
I took the brown and blew it over the white,
and then I would take the white and blow it over the brown,
and those colors that mixed together look fantastic.
It looks like mother nature made this piece.
That heat gun is a tool you want in your toolbox.
I'm gonna let it sit for about an hour,
come back, and peel that tape.
The epoxy's been sitting for about an hour and a half
since I last left it.
So I'm just gonna peel this tape and peel away
and down from that project.
Yeah, that epoxy is nice and thick.
Simple process, just pull down and away from the project.
Then come back through with your gloved hand,
and break up any stringy epoxy clinging to the bottom.
Man, that's gonna look good.
Peeling the tape on an exotic pour is really easy.
I really, really like how this project turned out.
It looks fantastic with that subtle blue
that's melded over that earth tone brown.
We have hundreds of epoxy additives
over at the Epoxy Color Center.
To make this recipe your own,
and get it to fit in your space,
just mix up some of those metallic colors and epoxy dyes.
They all fight each other to make some really amazing,
simple countertop.
Ooh, that is looking pretty.
