Do it yourself epoxy resin countertops.

Epoxy resin countertops are not particularly difficult to install but they will require either substantial effort on your part or the cost of hiring a contractor to do it for you. Now grab your notched trowel and begin lightly scraping the epoxy back and forth in a left to right and then up and down fashion gradually getting it a little closer to the edges. You simply have to choose the design or color apply your paint and then epoxy over it using thin layers of epoxy. In either case don t be surprised if the cost of installation exceeds the cost of the countertops themselves in either your own time or in hiring a specialist.

For the countertops i poured a long rectangular strip of epoxy right down the middle of the countertop. You can create or remake an old bar top using acrylic paints and epoxy. Pour the contents of the plastic containers into a clean paint tray. However there are several commercial grade epoxy top coats available that are low or no voc.

At this point a layer from 1 8 to 1 4 of an inch can be spread out across the surface. The thicker the coating the more you can do with it. If you notice the old counter color showing through roll on more primer while it s still wet. You can add more layers of epoxy to get the depth desired.

The primer creates a perfect surface for the epoxy to stick to.
