    Would have been nice to see the actual epoxy application rather than just the primer.
  • Did you have a separate video on actually showing what you did instead of just the after look?

    Just went to the next video and you use wood underlayment! Less expensive than my thought of laminate sheets (which I thought would be wobbly and possible crack the epoxy trying to install) for a wall of marble, wow. And no trial and error on my part. Thank you so much for your effort and making these videos and putting them out.

    Awesome work, really looks like marble, love it, actually watched a good amount of videos about this, but yours, for a non professional, is amazing! Hope mine will looks like yours when finish. Thanks for sharing.

    I purchased a mobile home to flip in an excellent location close to the beach. This is my first attempt (vs a home) and was not prepared for a number of differences even though I had watched hours and hours about mobiles. I was not understanding the WEIGHT issues. Heavy items ( marble, stone, wall of tile..)create stress on the underneath skeleton and require I get underneath and add support. At 68 yrs I am no longer willing to do that (also I just do not want to carry heavy items) so I have been looking at other options. I am considering buying a sheet of laminate and cut it for the backsplash (an entire wall of marbled look is the goal, in the kitchen and a bath), but then lay it flat, do the epoxy then attach to the wall. Old laminate counters are available possibly with an updated (the originals have cut outs I do not want and the seam is bloated from water damage) if not I will do the MDF.

    Wow, you did an amazing job. I am going to try this on our vacation home, which has outdated Formica countertops. Thank you for posting!

    Wow... that's so lovely! Beautiful work!
  • This is beautiful! My bf has dabbled into this stuff but is still learning. I would love to do this to our kitchen counter tops but I'm worried that if something goes wrong, our countertops will be ruined. 1 day we will do them, just gotta learn some more about the process before actually doing it.
