UPDATE: For More Details On Epoxy Countertops please CLICK HERE This is the full tutorial on my Website letspaintfurniture.com :)
WOW! When I first started our kitchen Reno I thought putting in concrete or granite or quartz countertops would be no big deal! Like, how expensive could it REALLY be? The first estimate for concrete countertops was a little over $4,000. Granite was a little closer to $6,000 and I soon realized we could not afford either!!! So I quickly had to come up with a plan B. Okay, this was like plan Q bc epoxy countertops was never a thought in my head.
It took me close to 2 months of scouring the Internet and Pinterest before I found something that looked affordable and durable and beautiful. I came across Raising A Farmhouse Blog . She updated her Granite countertops with Stone Coat Countertops Epoxy. Her countertops are GORGEOUS and stunning! And she put epoxy over Granite! Surely, I could do this over laminate!?
After hours of watching youtube video's (which I still watch! ;) I finally got the courage to order the epoxy! I purchased their sample size to play around with it. Their sample size is $50. Perfect to test it out! I made a sample board WITHOUT measuring my Hardener and Resin proportionality and I failed! lol. I had sticky epoxy that was never going to dry bc I did not measure appropriately!
I learned my lesson and SUPER thankful I didn't just try this on our kitchen counters without practicing first! Try number 2, I mixed according to the directions!! ;) And it worked!!! I had epoxy that hardened over night! For the design I used black rustoleum spray paint with some gold and silver! :) My husband was terrified I would burn the house down with a torch. So, I had to use a heat gun to pop all of the bubbles in the epoxy. But, even that worked GREAT! It's been a little over a year and our countertops have held up wonderfully!!! Did I mention we have 5 kids!?!!?

How did the epoxy settle against the wall? I’m worried about the part against the wall getting thick.
