Preparation
Preparation
Existing Countertops:
- Cover: Protect your floors with Ram board and your cabinets with 3 mil plastic and painter's tape.
- Sand: Abrade the countertop with 60 grit sandpaper.
- Clean: Wipe away dust and clean the sanded surface with TSP (trisodium phosphate) to remove any dirt and grease.
- Prime: Roll on two coats of our Bonding Primer & Sealer for a strong bond on existing surfaces like laminate, granite, quartz, Solid Surface, and marble. Then, apply two coats of our Stone Coat Epoxy Undercoat, sanding lightly between each coat with 220 grit sandpaper.
- Wait: Make sure the undercoat is completely dry before pouring your color coat of epoxy!
Wood Surfaces:
- Cover: Protect your floors with Ram board and your cabinets with 3 mil plastic and painter's tape.
- Sand: Abrade the wood surface with 220 grit sandpaper.
- Clean: Wipe away dust and clean the sanded surface with 91% isopropyl alcohol.
- Seal Coat: Squeegee on thin coats of Countertop Epoxy. We recommend 2-3 seal coats on raw wood before applying a clear flood coat.

- Flood Coat: Mix a batch of clear Countertop Epoxy at a 1:1 ratio. Pour and spread evenly. Pop any air bubbles with a propane torch.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy on my newly fabricated countertops?
Can I use Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy on my newly fabricated countertops?
Yes! You can use our Countertop Epoxy on newly fabricated countertops, including MDF and other substrates like concrete, wood, and butcher block. Just keep in mind that there's no need to apply Bonding Primer & Sealer when coating new MDF countertops, and that you'll only need to apply seal coats of Countertop Epoxy prior to pouring a clear flood coat on raw wood surfaces.
HOW HEAT RESISTANT IS STONE COAT COUNTERTOP EPOXY?
HOW HEAT RESISTANT IS STONE COAT COUNTERTOP EPOXY?
You can place hot items directly on your epoxy countertop, but we recommend playing it safe! Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy is designed to temporarily handle temperatures up to 450°F without permanent damage, but to keep your countertops in top shape, it’s best to use a hot pad or trivet for hot pans, pots, or cookie sheets. For longer cooking sessions with a crock pot, using a wood or plastic cutting board with feet adds an extra layer of protection. It’s a simple way to make sure your countertops stay beautiful for years to come!
HOW DO I CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY EPOXY COUNTERTOPS?
HOW DO I CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY EPOXY COUNTERTOPS?
Maintaining your epoxy countertops is quick and easy! For everyday cleaning, simply wipe your countertop with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean towel. For tougher stains, use a microfiber rag or a blue Scotch-Brite sponge, and choose a gentle dish soap or an all-purpose cleaner designed for laminate surfaces, diluted with water.
To keep your finish shining bright, try our Epoxy Polishing & Cleaning Kit for a delightful scent and a smooth feel. For long-term care of heavy-use surfaces, abrade your current countertop and apply another layer of Countertop Epoxy every 6-8 years. Always use trivets or cutting boards to protect your countertop from hot objects.
Watch out for stubborn stains from wine, mustard, turmeric, and powdered drink mixes—clean them up promptly! For tough messes, saturate the area with 91% isopropyl alcohol and gently wipe with a microfiber towel. With a little care, your surfaces will stay beautiful and last for years!
Does my stone coat countertop epoxy have a shelf life?
Does my stone coat countertop epoxy have a shelf life?
Yes, our Countertop Epoxy has a shelf life of one year when unopened. Once opened, exposure to oxygen begins to degrade the epoxy. To maximize shelf life, tightly reseal your bottles between uses, and if possible, purge oxygen with inert gas before storage. For the best results, store your epoxy in a cool, dark place. After opening, it should last about six months when stored properly.
