Stone Coat Countertops Ultimate Top Epoxy (Glossy Finish) - DIY Epoxy Resin Kit with Extra Scratch Resistance and UV Resistance for Protecting Your Surface

Gloss just slightly less glossy than no top coat. Make sure to follow new instructions not old videos of the same product. You need to mix like 1/4 of what the instructions say.

I’m not a video watcher. Don’t have the patience. I’m a reader. The printed instructions don’t tell you: - choice of roller in much detail and this is important - it will be very sticky while curing, first eight hours. any dust or any particle that settles on it will be part of your end result - dry rolling to get a smooth surface It has an orange peel texture because rolled it on thickly with a hard foam roller. Now after applying I’m reading in the reviews about dry rolling. Still have plenty. Maybe I’ll sand and try it.

This process worked really well. I watched lots of YouTube videos to help me feel confident about tackling the project. I am thrilled with the results. I only needed to do one countertop that I purchased to replace a china cabinet for more space. You must be diligent in setting up your work space with floor protection. I used an old shower curtain and was very careful about where I stepped! That helped tremendously! Absolutely love the final results! Also be prepared for hours of dripping! It helps to smooth the epoxy dripping off by rubbing it with gloved fingers and rub it in to the underside of the countertop! It did require some sanding to the underside where it continued to drip. But rubbing the epoxy to the underside made it feel smoother to the touch.

I used all Stone Coat Products - the bonding primer-sealer, the white quartz kit and Ultimate Top Coat. There was a learning curve on all the products. Great thing about epoxy is if things go fubar, you can just start over or sand-polish. I got the gloss UTC. It didn't come out as expected but I think it was operator error and the incorrect tools. I have lap lines and orange peel visible in some areas on a 24 sq ft counter "peninsular" and a corner of about 10 sq ft. I used a 6" 1/4" nap velour roller because that's all I could find locally, and I needed to get it done. I think the orange peel and lap lines were due to needing to dry roll with additional rollers and maybe I "overworked" the product because I was using a 6" roller trying to get rid of lap lines in the time allowed on a larger area. I should have ordered and waited for a 9" microfiber 1/4" nap kit with extra rollers. They recommend 2 dry rollers for every wet roller. If I ever do it again I'll have 4 dry rollers ready with the 9" 1/4" nap microfiber rollers. Anyway, just ordered some 10000 grit wet sand paper and some polish compound. Onto the next stage of my epoxy countertop learning curve. UTC lesson learned - use the 9" 1/4" nap microfiber rollers, have more than two dry ones ready, don't overwork the product, watch your time and the area you want to cover. When they say 15 minutes they aren't kidding.
