COUNTERTOPS

Absolutely not! Our meticulously crafted products are tailor-made for homeowners aiming to save on kitchen and bathroom upgrades. With our revolutionary epoxy solutions, you can effortlessly transform your outdated countertops or build stunning new ones from scratch.

We provide step-by-step guidance on our Stone Coat Countertops YouTube channel, empowering you every step of the way. YOU GOT THIS!

Start your countertop project off right by using our Project Builder for Building New Countertops or Updating Old Countertops.

The amount of epoxy needed depends on your desired technique. In most cases, 955ml (32.3 US fl.oz) of mixed epoxy per square metre will do the trick. However, if you’re going for a more intricate Exotic Pour or Hand Melded Marble technique, we recommend using 1.91 litres (64.6 US fl.oz) per square metre. And if you’re applying a clear coat of epoxy as the final step, an additional 955ml per square metre should be sufficient.

Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy and Epoxy Art Coat are specially designed to revitalise a variety of surfaces, including Porcelain and Ceramic Tile, Laminate (Formica), Granite, Marble, Quartz, Cultured Marble, and Solid Surface like Corian. Our epoxy formulations deliver exceptional results when you properly abrade your countertops and apply our Bonding Primer & Sealer to ensure a strong bond with existing countertop surfaces.

  • For best results, measure our Countertop Epoxy and Epoxy Art Coat at a 1:1 ratio by volume. Use our Mixing Cups for accurate mixing.
  • Start by pouring an equal amount of Resin (Part A) and Hardener (Part B) into the bucket, adding Part B first, followed by Part A.
  • Mix both components thoroughly using a Paint Mixer attached to a drill for about 2 minutes. Remember to pause halfway through the mixing process to scrape the sides and bottom of the bucket. If you are mixing in smaller batches you can use our Mixing Sticks. We advise doubling the mixing time to approximately 4 minutes.
  • For the longest working time, move quickly to apply the mixed epoxy to the countertop.

For optimal results and safety, we recommend mixing only 1 gallon of our countertop epoxy products at a time. This translates to a ½ gallon mix of Part A (resin) and ½ gallon of Part B (hardener). Mixing larger quantities can lead to an exothermic reaction, causing:

  • Excessive Heat: This can damage the epoxy and surrounding surfaces.
  • Rapid Curing: The epoxy will harden too quickly, limiting your working time.
  • Toxic VOC Release: These fumes can pose health risks.

Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy and Epoxy Art Coat are designed to work seamlessly with Colourants including Metallic Mica Pigment Powder, Glitter Additives, Spray Paint and Liquid Epoxy Dye. These give you the freedom to create your dream countertops. With the ability to incorporate a spectrum of solids, metallics, glitters, and rich epoxy pastes–the possibilities are endless! We encourage you to unleash your creativity and explore different combinations of our colourants to achieve one-of-a-kind patterns and designs.

Both Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy and Epoxy Art Coat offer an impressively long working time of roughly 50 minutes in a working environment of 21 degrees Celcius and 60 percent relative humidity. While higher temperatures and humidity may slightly reduce the working time, we have ensured that even first-time epoxy users can confidently work with our products. After mixing you have roughly 50 minutes of working time to pour your colour coat, wait 18-24 hours to then pour your final clear coat of Countertop Epoxy or Epoxy Art Coat or instead apply Ultimate Top Coat for added durability and scratch resistance.

For the best results when using Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy and Epoxy Art Coat, it’s recommended to create in an environment with a temperature between 20 and 24 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 55 to 65 percent. During the initial three days, it’s crucial to ensure that the epoxy project cures in a room above 65 degrees to prevent a softer cure.

Below are three effective methods to eliminate bubbles when mixing and applying epoxy:

Method #1 (preferred): Use a propane torch to sweep the surface of the project, holding the torch head 1-3 inches away. Opt for a torch head with holes at the base, ensuring it stays lit even when flipped upside down. Our recommendation is the Bernzomatic TS-4000.

Method #2: The next best option is a heat gun. Follow the same process, but hold the heat gun a bit further away to prevent the blowing air from affecting the finish, unless you prefer the altered results.

Method #3: In third place, we have the hair dryer. Although it is the least efficient and effective, it can still take care of those micro bubbles. Simply sweep the surface in the same manner, but go slower on a low setting.

We only use a tape dam when we’re working with more than 955ml of epoxy per square metre of countertop. For finishes like Exotic Pour, Hand Melded Marble, or our Rolling Stone method, we recommend using 1.91 litres of epoxy. This extra epoxy helps allow for those beautiful melding and marbling effects to smoothly flow over the edges.

Apply a masking tape dam to keep everything in place until the epoxy starts to thicken and gel up. After 1.25-2 hours after mixing, pouring, and working with your epoxy you can check if it’s ready by gently touching and lifting a gloved finger from the corner of the project. Check how long the epoxy sticks to your finger as well as its consistency. Ideally, you want it to stick to your finger as you lift it by an inch or so. This will allow your countertop edges to retain a defined pattern as the epoxy flows over. If you notice any dry areas on the edges, just wet them with epoxy using your gloved finger as the epoxy flows. This will help ensure smooth and even coverage.

There is no need for a tape dam on a countertop finish requiring only 955ml of epoxy per square metre such as Soapstone, Baltic Brown Granite or Carrara Marble. This also applies for the application of an epoxy clear coat using Countertop Epoxy or Epoxy Art Coat, and many more.

Check out the vast library of tutorials on our Stone Coat Countertops YouTube channel to find out how many ml of epoxy per square metre we mix to achieve a wide variety of creative finishes.

Yes! However, this can be a more advanced technique to complete. Timing is everything and depending on the style of epoxy countertop finish desired it can be difficult to pour the same look on both a horizontal and vertical surface.

Method #1 (preferred): The easiest and best looking method would be to first remove the backsplash by cutting it off the countertop and filling the small gap at the wall and back of the countertop with Bondo. Then, cut a new backsplash out of MDF and pour your epoxy onto it flat at the same time you pour your countertops. When cured, install your new backsplash vertically with 100% silicone.

Method #2: Wait for the epoxy to thicken a little in the bucket then do your best to vertically apply effects similar to those you created on the countertop surface.

For white and light-coloured epoxy countertops, shower walls, and tabletops, we recommend using Epoxy Art Coat. It offers the highest level of UltraViolet resistance in the industry. By incorporating as many UV resistant and Hindered Amine Light Stabilisers (HALS) additives as possible, we ensure that your white and light-coloured epoxy countertops will maintain their colour fastness for years to come. Just ensure to follow our best practices during the creation process.

No, but adding a clear coat has some benefits. Adding a clear epoxy layer not only enhances the depth and durability of your epoxy countertop design but also provides extra protection to the thinnest part of your project–the edges. If you prefer not to use Ultimate Top Coat as the final layer for maximum durability, just make sure to apply between 318ml and 955ml (1-3 US fl.oz) of Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy or Epoxy Art Coat per square metre of countertop to restore a “safe for food contact” status. Always make sure to cover your initial coloured epoxy layer with either a clear coat of Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy, Epoxy Art Coat, or Ultimate Top Coat.

Achieving this is simple using Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy or Epoxy Art Coat. Our epoxy products are “self-levelling” allowing them to lay perfectly flat and glass smooth. As a best practice upon completion of your epoxy pour, we suggest turning all lights and any sources of air movement off as the countertops cure. If a heat source is needed, place the space heater on the floor, aiming the air movement away from the countertops. Air movement can cause rippling to occur in an actively curing countertop.

This all depends if you’re applying another layer of Ultimate Top Coat as a final layer or opting for only a clear coat of Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy or Epoxy Art Coat. All epoxy should cure a minimum of 4-5 days before installing the countertops and sink. Refrain from sliding items across the surface initially. Applying an optional layer of Ultimate Top Coat as a final step brings durability to a maximum, quickly. We apply Ultimate Top Coat 24 hours after the final clear coat of epoxy. After applying the Ultimate Top Coat, wait 36-48 hours before installing the countertops. This allows for proper curing. The kitchen sink can then be installed on the same day as the countertops.

Enjoy a healthier installation with our low-odour, low-VOC countertop epoxy products. No respirator is required during application, making it more comfortable for you to work.

We do however highly recommend wearing vinyl nitrile gloves and eye protection during the application process, and adding a respirator mask when sanding our products.

Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy and Epoxy Art Coat are specifically formulated for kitchen and bathroom spaces, making these epoxies able to stand up to everyday wear and tear in your home. They can even handle a hot pot or pan with heat resistance up to 232 degrees Celcius. Once fully cured at 30 days, our epoxy countertops can withstand chipping, blistering, peeling, heavy scratching, and offer great UV resistance under normal use.

While it is possible to place hot items directly on the epoxy countertop, it is not a recommended practice. Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy, Epoxy Art Coat and Ultimate Top Coat are designed to withstand temperatures of up to 232 degrees Celcius without sustaining any permanent damage. However, for optimal protection and longevity of your countertop, we advise using a trivet or hot pad when placing hot pans, pots, cast iron, or cookie sheets on your work surface.

When exposed to heat, the epoxy may soften temporarily and then return to its normal hardness once cooled. For added precaution, we suggest using a wood or plastic cutting board with feet as a protective barrier when placing a crock pot on the countertop for extended periods of cooking.

Caring for and maintaining your countertops is a breeze! For tough stains, reach for a microfiber rag or a blue Scotch-Brite sponge. Stay away from harsh cleaners and chemicals that can harm the epoxy surface. Instead, go for a gentle dish soap or an all-purpose cleaner made for laminate or solid surface countertops, diluted with water.

For everyday cleaning, simply wipe down the surface with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean towel. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or pads that could scratch the surface and dull its shine. To add a delightful scent and a smooth, sleek feel, try our Epoxy Polishing & Cleaning Kit. This product not only leaves your countertop smelling fantastic but also provides an incredibly smooth finish.

When it comes to long-term maintenance, we recommend applying a fresh coat of Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy, Epoxy Art Coat or another layer of Ultimate Top Coat every 6-8 years to keep your countertops looking brand new. Additionally, it’s crucial to protect the surface from hot objects to prevent damage. Always use trivets or cutting boards as a barrier when dealing with heat.

PRO TIP: Wine, mustard, turmeric, and powdered drink mixes have the potential to create stubborn stains on your Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy, Epoxy Art Coat or Ultimate Top Coat. It is important to promptly clean up and avoid letting these products sit and dry on the countertop. To effectively remove stubborn messes, saturate the affected area with 91% isopropyl alcohol and gently wipe it off using a microfiber towel.

For larger flooring projects, consider applying the Moisture Seal Epoxy Primer and Decorative Floor Flake in sections or batches, creating seamless transitions in between.

Enjoy a healthier installation with our low-odour, low-VOC flooring epoxy products. No respirator required during application, making it more comfortable for you to work.

We do however highly recommend wearing vinyl nitrile gloves and eye protection during the application process, and adding a respirator mask when sanding our products.

For optimal results, it is recommended to wait for a minimum of 24-36 hours after applying Stone Coat flooring products before walking on it and minimum 7 days before parking a vehicle on the surface. It is also important to avoid turning the vehicle’s wheel without any movement during the initial 30 days. This waiting period ensures the complete curing of all coats of epoxy and top coats, allowing the floor to withstand weight and movement without sustaining any damage.

When choosing the right top coat for your project, it’s important to consider the type of flooring you’re installing and its specific requirements.

For Flake Floors: Our Polyaspartic Top Coat is the perfect final layer. Ultimate Top Coat is not compatible with flake flooring. If you need added slip resistance in high traffic areas, our optional Non-skid Floor Additive is a great choice.

For Metallic Marble Floors: We offer a variety of top coat options. You can opt for Stone Coat Flooring Ultimate Top Coat available in matte or glossy urethane or our Polyaspartic Top Coat available in UV resistant high-gloss.

Keeping your epoxy floor in top shape is a breeze. Simply clean it regularly with mild soap and water to maintain its pristine appearance. Remember to avoid abrasive cleaners or pads. Promptly clean up any spills to prevent staining. With proper care and attention, your epoxy floor will retain its sheen for years to come.

SHOWERS

For optimal results, it is highly recommended to demo your existing tile or worn-out fiberglass tub/shower surround, and install new cement board before installing epoxy shower panels. When applying epoxy on a vertical surface, there is a possibility of the design running and creating an unsightly appearance. It is advisable to pour the shower panels horizontally and install them vertically after they have fully cured. Additionally, it is important to ensure proper waterproofing of the shower area. Follow the same preparatory steps used for a standard tile shower installation.

  • Prepare the Foam Panels: Cut foam panels to size, seam together as needed, and apply Fibreglass Mesh with Stone Coat Quick Coat.
  • Mix the Epoxy: Follow the product instructions for mixing Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy resin (Part A) and hardener (Part B).
  • Colour and Pour: Add desired colourants, then pour the epoxy over each panel, using gloved hands or ¼ Inch Microfibre Roller to spread evenly.
  • Fully Cure: Allow the epoxy to cure per the product instructions before final installation.
  • Apply Top Coat: Pour a clear coat of Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy, Epoxy Art Coat or roll on optional Ultimate Top Coat as a final step.
  • Install the Completed Panels: Apply a small amount of 100% silicone adhesive to the back of the fully cured epoxy panels and press them firmly onto the shower walls. Use siliconised latex caulking at the panel-wall junctions and 100% silicone at the 90-degree seams.

The amount of epoxy needed will depend on the size of your shower and the number of coats to be applied.

  • 1.27 litres (43.1 US fl.oz) of Quick Coat per square metre to adhere the Fibreglass Mesh.
  • Between 955ml (32.3 US fl.oz) and 1.91 litres (64.6 US fl.oz) per square metre of Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy or Epoxy Art Coat for the colour coat.
  • 955ml (32.3 US fl.oz) per square metre of Countertop Epoxy or Epoxy Art Coat for a high-gloss top coat or apply Ultimate Top Coat as an optional finish.

For optimal results and safety, we recommend mixing only 1 gallon of our countertop epoxy products at a time (which is what we use to create shower panels). This translates to a ½ gallon mix of Part A (resin) and ½ gallon of Part B (hardener). Mixing larger quantities can lead to an exothermic reaction, causing:

Excessive Heat: This can damage the epoxy and surrounding surfaces.

Rapid Curing: The epoxy will harden too quickly, limiting your working time.

Toxic VOC Release: These fumes can pose health risks.

Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy and Epoxy Art Coat are designed to work seamlessly with Colourants including Metallic Mica Pigment Powder, Glitter Additives, Spray Paint and Liquid Epoxy Dye. These give you the freedom to create your dream shower surround. With the ability to incorporate a spectrum of solids, metallics, glitters, and rich epoxy pastes–the possibilities are endless! We encourage you to unleash your creativity and explore different combinations of our colourants to achieve one-of-a-kind patterns and designs.

PRO TIP: All of our countertop kit styles can be used to create shower panel designs!

There is an extensive range of options available at home improvement stores or online. Select high-density, water-resistant foam panels. Thicknesses often vary between ½’’ to 1’’.

For creating epoxy shower walls, use high-density, closed-cell foam panels. They are water-resistant and provide a sturdy base for our epoxy.

  • Before you install epoxy shower wall panels, it’s crucial to ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Make sure your shower is properly prepared and waterproofed similar to standard shower tile installation.
  • Apply a generous amount of 100% silicone to the back of the fully cured epoxy coated panel and press it firmly against the wall.
  • Use siliconised latex caulking where the panel meets the wall and use 100% silicone at the 90-degree seams.

Yes! You can attach grab bars or a glass shower door to epoxy shower walls. However, it’s important to securely anchor these fixtures. To do so, use appropriate mounting hardware and reinforce the area behind the panel where the fixtures will be attached. We recommend reinforcing the foam shower panel by installing exterior-grade water-resistant MDF or marine grade plywood in areas where grab bars and shower doors or a glass enclosure will be installed.

Absolutely! It is possible to join foam panels before pouring epoxy. We recommend using masking tape on the back side of the foam panel to secure the panels in the desired order and position. Then, fill the seams with Stone Coat Quick Coat, which helps keep the panels together during the application of Fibreglass Mesh for added strength and longevity. It is important to ensure that the seams are smooth and even to achieve a seamless finish once the epoxy is applied.

Yes! Stone Coat Moisture Seal Epoxy Primer can be used to coat an old shower pan, offering a way to refresh it without complete replacement. Ensure the pan is thoroughly cleaned, repaired if necessary, and sanded for better adhesion. Our epoxy will provide a waterproof, durable surface that can revive the look of your shower pan. We like to spread ground-up coloured quartz sand or apply flake flooring on the shower pan for a durable non-slip surface.

Stone Coat epoxy shower wall panels are exceptionally durable and long-lasting. They are highly resistant to water, mould, and mildew, ensuring easy maintenance and a lasting glossy finish. By applying Stone Coat Ultimate Top Coat as the final layer, the panels effectively withstand challenges posed by well water containing minerals and sediment. With the added strength of Fibreglass Mesh during installation, these shower panels exhibit excellent impact resistance in wet shower environments.

An epoxy shower can last for years with proper care and maintenance. The durability of Stone Coat epoxy resin, combined with its resistance to water, mould, and mildew, makes it an excellent choice for shower surrounds. Its longevity also depends on the quality of the application and adherence to recommended maintenance practices.

  • Clean regularly with mild soap and water to prevent soap scum buildup.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners and scrubbers that can scratch the surface.
  • For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth and our Epoxy Polishing & Cleaning Kit.
  • Ensure proper ventilation in the bathroom to reduce moisture buildup.

WOODWORKING

Length (in cm) × Width (in cm) × Height (in cm) ÷ 3785.4 = Volume (in gallons)

Determining the right product approach for a project depends on its size. To accurately calculate the required amount of Stone Coat Super Cast and Casting Epoxy for your project, we highly recommend using our formula above.

Create stunning river tables up to 1″ deep with Casting Epoxy. For pours up to 2.5″ deep, upgrade to Super Cast.

Easily fill knots and cracks with our efficient epoxy solutions. Stone Coat Quick Coat is ideal for smaller knots and cracks, while our Epoxy Art Coat can fill larger voids and fissures. Our epoxy products are specially formulated to provide deep penetration and secure curing for stable and dependable fills.

  • When preparing Stone Coat casting resins, it’s crucial to follow the recommended 2:1 ratio of 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener.
  • Combine both components in a clean mixing container and stir thoroughly for approximately 3-5 minutes, ensuring even distribution by scraping the sides and bottom.
  • To prevent the formation of air bubbles, mix slowly and deliberately.
  • When pouring the mixed Super Cast or Casting Epoxy into your mould or casting form, take the necessary steps to eliminate any air bubbles. You can use a heat source like a propane torch or heat gun to carefully remove air every ¼ inch of poured depth. This process effectively eliminates any air bubbles that may have formed during the resin mixing stage.

To achieve vibrant colours in your casting resin, you can use Metallic Mica Pigment Powder, Glitter Additives, and Alumilite Liquid Epoxy Dye, epoxy pastes, and other epoxy resin-compatible options. It’s crucial to choose colourants compatible with epoxy to ensure even colour dispersion and avoid any interference with the resin’s curing process.

A seal coat is a thin base layer of epoxy that effectively seals pores and prevents the formation of air bubbles when applying a thicker flood coat. This process is crucial for working with porous materials or embedding objects into the epoxy.

A flood coat is a thicker layer of epoxy that is poured and self-levels to create a smooth, clear finish. It enhances and showcases the natural beauty of wood and other materials. Whether applied over seal coats or directly to the material surface, it adds a protective and visually appealing coating.

Ideally, the moisture content should be 12% or below to prevent adhesion issues, warping, cracking, or delamination of the epoxy layer.

Achieving a level surface on a warped wood slab can be a challenge. However, with the right techniques like planing, sanding, or using a router sled, you can eliminate excess material and make a slab flat. Our exclusive Router Slab Jig is perfect for DIY woodworking enthusiasts. It allows you to effortlessly level and smooth even the most severely twisted and cupped slabs.

To prevent warping, it’s crucial to ensure that the wood is properly dried and acclimated to your environment before use. Additionally, sealing the top and all sides of the wood with Countertop Epoxy and Quick Coat on the underside will help minimize moisture exchange. Using a stable base that provides even support to the wood is also beneficial in preventing warping during storage.

To create a casting form for your project, you can use a melamine board or a similar material. Cut the pieces carefully to make a box slightly larger than needed. For easy release when the epoxy cures, wrap the melamine with Tyvek tape or a similar product. Alternatively, you can use a silicone mould release spray on the melamine before pouring the epoxy, eliminating the need for tape. Make sure to seal all seams on the external sides of the melamine form with latex caulk to prevent leaks.

To ensure successful removal of a project from the casting form, factors such as epoxy volume, curing time, and project thickness should be considered. Generally, it is recommended to refer to the specific epoxy instructions as curing times may vary. In most cases you can remove a project from the mold within 36-72 hours for optimal results.

It is crucial to allow the epoxy to fully cure before using the project. Typically, this process takes around 3-7 days after the final pour, depending on the specific epoxy formula and project thickness. Allowing the epoxy to fully cure ensures maximum hardness and durability.

Stone Coat Ultimate Top Coat, applied as the final layer, not only enhances the durability of your projects but also allows you to use them sooner, skipping the typical 7-day epoxy cure time.

Epoxy woodworking projects are highly durable and offer exceptional resistance to water, impact, and daily wear. The application of epoxy creates a strong and protective surface, ensuring longevity and transforming novice woodworkers into seasoned artisans.
