RK3 Designs is a learning studio focused on teaching how to create beautiful epoxy finishes using Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy. These tutorials include epoxy countertops for kitchens, bathrooms, and much more. This channel provides tutorials for DIYers, contractors, designers, or artists.
Rhonda Dracoulis Founder and Primary Instructor
RK3 Designs started as a way for Rhonda to showcase her creativity but has blossomed into a way to help others find theirs. Her obsession with painting led her to start refinishing furniture and kitchen cabinets. She found customers wanted a nicer option than laminate but more affordable and customizable than natural stone, which lead her to countertop epoxy! Since then, she’s helped thousands of students, from across the country (and even Canada eh?).

Lol... you're braver than me, I never ask for opinions on my art; in fact, I don't even like talking to the buyers. I find it too uncomfortable. And that's what agents are for. Every time I add to a piece, with each new layer I cringe, but it always (almost) turns out. Love your designs, and am starting a new series that incorporates some acrylics. Will be ordering yours.

Yes. You can mix the epoxy with sand a create a paste to be trowel on. Just make sure the area is prepped correctly and no moisture is present when you pour.

@@RK3Designs i just may have to try it , at least on my island first. Question, let's say i decide I'm not a fan...will a clear regular topcoat over the UTC take it back to the look of without the UTC?
@RK3Designs

You can sand it down and pour another clear flood coat, but unfortunately it won't be as glossy as it was prior to the UTC.
What type of board did you originally start out with particle board cabinet top, 3/8ths" foam board with fiberglass mesh? I have countertops that were built in the mid 70's and are covered with what I believe is either a laminate or a formica. Above the 4" backsplash there is also 3 rows of 4"x4" tile mounted on the wall above them, so the countertops & backsplash would need to be done in place and then the tile done as an accent for the counters.
@RK3Designs

We use 3/4 in MDF when fabricating countertops. You can definitely go over existing material such as laminate, natural stone, etc., just will need to use a “bonding” primer first. We use 1/2 in MDF for backsplashes.
