I used this epoxy to refinish the countertop of a small (48") wet bar cabinet. The quantity of epoxy was enough for 2 coats I probably could have applied a 3rd coat with the remaining product. So I think it's a good value for the money. I used with black undercoat and a couple of additives (all same manufacturer) to create a black granite-like finish. The epoxy was easy to mix and pour. It has a decent working time, allowing plenty of time to trowel, smooth, remove bubbles, etc. dry time was 24 hours. I've worked with epoxy before so I knew what to expect. This product seems to be a bit easier to use than the other products I've used. Overall I am very satisfied with the product.

My first EVER resin pour was for my bathroom countertop. Yup. It turned out really good! I'm no expert and I'm certainly not gonna choose this as a hobby (it's an expensive hobby) but for a nice DIY project that is practical (we were desperate for a new countertop) and relatively inexpensive if you compare it to getting say a granite countertop: worth it!

I 100% felt it was important to go with a trusted brand as far as the resin goes. I explored Stone Coat's website (I suggest you check it out yourself) where they have decent "here's how" videos and even pre-assembled kits so you say "I want this look" and they say "here's everything you need to get that look." I started with one of those pre-assembled kits as a template.... then ordered everything I needed on Amazon because Stone Coat's website charges you shipping and I could get the same stuff Prime Free Shipping ;) This seriously saved me a good chunk of change. I also didn't worry too much about brand name with things like the tools and pigments... those you can shop around a bit on Amazon (read reviews) and find the right colors for your project for a reasonable price.

CURE TIME:
I deliberately timed this project with an upcoming vacation so that we would LEAVE IT ALONE for two weeks. The bottle says to leave it alone for at least 3 days but that it's not fully cured for a month. In other words: it could still get a good gouge or scratch if you aren't careful but you can go ahead and use the thing after three days. We installed it after the two week no-touchy cure time and so far have had no real problems with normal day to day use.

TECHNICAL STUFF:
*Did it bubble? Of course. All resin does. Pop it with a heat gun.

*Was it fumey? Not really. I went full blown respirator, goggles, gloves, etc and towards the end I had ditched a lot of those things and just worked in a well ventilated area. Everyone has different sensitivities so I do recommend being cautious if you have had problems with fumes in the past, but for me it was no biggy. GLOVES are mandatory though. Don't get this stuff on your skin and have nail polish remover handy to clean up any oopses.

*Mixing: Part A is nice and thick. Part B is runny and it is easy to over pour because of that. So pour your measurements into SEPERATE containers then add together. That way if you "sploosh" a bit on B you can add a little A to keep everything even. I mixed by hand (even though I bought one of those paddle mixers) with a popsicle stick and it honestly wasn't that hard to do. Mix until you stop seeing the "streaks" of opaque. It will look clear and it will start to warm up even if it sits to long so work quickly.

You NEED to dial in your base color if you are doing that marbled look like I did. I didn't get enough of the white base in on my initial pour and it looked like crap. The beauty though is you just mix more and pour more til it looks right.

*How much do I need? Stone Coat's website has a calculation tool, and I'm sure a simple google search would yield a similar thing. But in general the 1/2 gallon is for a bathroom countertop. Gallon for a Kitchen countertop. Use the calculation tool. I ended up having leftover.... which I'm considering making a backsplash out of.

*Can I store the leftovers?
The mixed stuff? No. That's gonna get super hot then harden. That's trash now. Pour it on a scrap piece of wood and make art with it. The stuff that's still in bottles can be stored for like a month but gets bad as it goes. Plus the bottles tend to seal shut cuz the whole process is just so dang messy. (Tarps are your best friend)

I hope this little run down helps. Definitely happy with the brand and highly recommend you check out their website. And since they also sell on Amazon.... save yourself some shipping and order here.

I recently used the two-part epoxy resin to cover my bathtub surround, and I am amazed by the results! The resin was easy to mix and apply, leaving a smooth, glossy finish that has held up well against water and cleaning products. The coverage was excellent, and the surface has remained durable and scratch-resistant. Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a long-lasting solution to update their bathtub surround.

We use this for making epoxy covered tables. For us, the "odorless" feature is really important because we work indoors. I've bought from Stone Coat Countertops many times and will continue to do so.

My wife and I are not DIYers but I stumbled upon Stone coat Countertops YouTube channel 3 years ago and have been debating whether to try it or not because it seems so intimidating but finally we decided we were going to buy granite countertops and I asked my wife if I could "TRY" stone coat epoxy and if it didn't turn out we would rip them out. We watched all the videos to get the design we wanted and prep like a pro video. We absolutely love them although they didn't turn out perfect (some extremely small bubbles that you can hardly see) over all they look great and some of our friends mistakenly thought it was real stone when they saw them. Just like they say in the videos YOU GOT THIS!!! So much easier and not stressful because you have so much time to work with it.
