My Epoxy Resin FAILED!

What happens here

Prepare a second batch of Stone Coat Countertop epoxy. For the strongest bond (chemical bond), apply this second coat within 4 to 6 hours of the first coat, while the first layer is still tacky. Alternatively, if more than 6 hours have passed, allow the first coat to fully harden (typically 24 hours), then lightly scuff/sand the surface before applying the second coat to create a mechanical bond. Pour and spread this second coat following the same procedure as the first, ensuring complete coverage and finishing the edges. Again, use a propane torch to pop any new bubbles and inspect for dry spots.

Goal: Apply a second layer of epoxy to achieve a thicker, more durable, and flawless finish.

Tools and materials

  • Milwaukee M18 LED Work Light Milwaukee — Illuminating the surface to identify dry spots and bubbles
  • Mixing Buckets — Mixing the epoxy components

  • Paint Brush — Smoothing epoxy on edges and catching drips
  • Propane Torch Bernzomatic — Popping air bubbles in the epoxy
  • Rubber Gloves — Protecting hands from epoxy
  • Trowel — Spreading the epoxy evenly across the surface
  • Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy Part B — The hardener component of the epoxy resin

here. I can't see. [Music] All right. So, when it comes to certain parts of the job, I've learned that if I don't ever want to be criticized year after year for screwing something up, I let her do it. Like, oh my god, why did you miss this entire spot on this counter? Why did you? So I get her involved to doublech checkck everything and then if there is something wrong it doesn't fall on my shoulders falls on both of our shoulders. We split it. That's just a lesson in husbandry from one husband. If you're a new husband, you haven't lived with the wife yet for a while. That's just a strategy. show you her truck. Yeah, you got a cool truck. She's obsessed with she want I told her she wanted to show you. Uh, that's good. You don't need to grab my cat. You have a truck. You have a truck. See a truck. Play with your truck. All right. We are on pour number two on this. And I want to just break this down for you. If if you can see it. I don't know if the camera is going to pick it up. There's two different sheen. Super glossy and this not quite so glossy. So, we want it all equal. And we have two different time frames that we can do the second pour. The first time frame is within the 4 to 6 hours from the initial pour. And that creates what's called a chemical bond. And that's the strongest bond. Let's hope that chat GPT is right when it tells me this stuff. The second time that we can do it is after it's hardened. That would be 24 hours later. But then we have to scuff everything down, sand it down. And I've done this before. Scuff it, sand it, repour it, and that creates a mechanical bond. It's not as strong as a chemical bond, but it's still better than nothing. And a second pour, my opinion has always been it just makes it that much better. It really does. It you think it would gloss you can see better. Yeah. mirror look or window look or whatever. It does make a difference. I think it's just a better looking end product, especially when it's noticeable. So, we're going to do the second pour right now. [Music]
