THE SUBSTRATE
Prepping the surface of the countertops is easy. Most surfaces just need to be sanded (80-100 Grit) then wiped clean. Granite and Marble will need the sealer removed. Tile will need the grout lines filled with Bondo and sanded smooth before applying our Countertop Kits.

EPOXY PRIMER COAT
Priming the Countertops is simple and fast. Mix your pre-measured primer then dip and roll the pigmented primer across the surface until the countertop surface is completely covered. Wait 1 hr. (or until tacky and not coming off to the touch) and start applying the Base Coat.
METALLIC EPOXY COAT
There are so many different applications for our metallic epoxy coat. In this video, we show you the dirty pour technique. When you place your order you'll receive step by step tutorial videos that will show you how to apply this part depending on the look you're going for!
HIGH WEAR TOP COAT
We offer 2 different Performance Engineered Top Coats. Glaze Coat is our High Build Top Coat that lays out like glass and adds depth to the Countertop. The Urethane Top Coat comes with the option to have a High Gloss or Matte finish. It needs to be rolled out super thin and leaves a minor texture on the countertop. You apply it within 24 hrs. of installing your Countertop Kit

I have no intention of ever doing this, still watched every second. I think this is a sign I'm getting old.
Nah, means the artistic part of you is trying to get your attention.
Love this answer
😊😊😊😊😊😊 Me too
That’s funny x 😂
Haha. Me too.
I am definitely going to do this one day. Been watching these for 11 years, since I bought my house. Husband was dead set against it and refused. Instead we spent $12,000.00 on crappy linoleum and countertops. He has since moved in with his girlfriend and my son moved into his own place. I can do what in hell I want.
Hahaha..Yes Girl! Do what the Hell You Want Every Time❤
he'll yea grandma
I do decorative concrete and get calls to do these all the time. Just know if you don’t have any knowledge it’s very easy to screw up. You could save a decent amount of money doing it yourself, but if you’re going to I strongly advise you to do your research. I could help point you in the right direction if you wanted I just don’t know exactly what you’re looking to do
I agree!!! Why pay thousands of dollars for countertops? You could remodel the bathroom. Take a nice vacation. You just put stuff on a counter top.
let get married then
People don’t usually show us their skills and techniques like this for free. Thank you for teaching us. 🙏🏻
There's a lot that do. These guys way overchargee for their materials
what skills? this is a "profession" filled with the same guys who opened vape shops and tattoo parlors. Anyone can pour plastic and play like fingerpaints.
Hi

Nothing beats investing. I bought a house with the proceeds of my investment and this kitchen looks like mine. Great work guys!
This past pandemic has really taught me a lot, I realized that depending only on salaries is catastrophic. I have seen people who have collapsed financially because they had no investment when they were actively working
Well, I'm living on my terms. I mainly invest in cryptocurrencies. I earn from my cryptocurrency investments in one month as much as my wife earns from her job in 4 months. that's how people outdo others by investing and earning passive income.
I can't say enough about how profitable the cryptocurrency market is. Especially if you have a professional manager who is good at what he does, your income can exceed 100% .... My cryptocurrency income bought me my dream home.
OMG that looks absolutely amazing!! Unbelievable talent you guys have
Sehr schön und vor allem interessant. Hab mir immer ganz anders vorgestellt wie das gemacht wird. Ein Hoch auf die Kreativität des Menschen, der sich diese Technik ausgedacht hat.
this is fascinating.. if i’m ever lucky enough to get a house i’m doing this first thing .. your so very talented..thank you for showing us … 🌟
Love my abstract decor look and this would just a kitchen off. Beautiful work gentlemen. Im going to have to teach myself this technique.
This is beautiful. I didn't know the range of what epoxy resin can do. This is fantastically beautiful, good eyes on the guys, too. Not everyone can afford the stone countertops, this is a beautiful option. He did a really good job- I don't know what asmr stands for, but this must be it.
Thank you very much!
Pero aun no sabes lo que cuesta esto. En mi opinion creo que es caro
Фантастический шедевр,налюбоваться невозможно, какое-то безмерное счастье,вы и художники и дизайнеры, на одном дыхании посмотрела хотя и английский не знаю,спасибо огромное за ролик! Хотя бы помечтала.
потрясающее качество !
It's awesome how even if the resin consistency is thick when being poured, its final state will always have a leveled-out surface
And can always sand that shit down
That was very cool. Thanks for taking the time to make this. It looks amazing!!
This is quite the art project and one of a kind pieces. I enjoyed watching this video.
Same...
Thank You!
Wow, that's super cool. It looks so classic but modern at the same time.....
Total talent! The design turned out beautiful! I have granet,which works great with heat and cleaning but I would LOVE this instead!
This is really amazing .. never seen any thing like this ever. What an ingenuity of mind, pure genius and aesthetically pleasing piece of work.. hats off !!
you must be new to youtube
@@saringaclose new to this field, spoiler!
@@saringaclose Or to this world.
It's just plastic nothing too exciting
Is it long last or temporary
Bro, that's amazing. This is definitely an art form. I'm in awe. Kudos for sharing this. Not sure I'd get this right on the first try but I'm definitely going to try on one of my less expensive properties until I get the hang of it. Super cool.
Thank You!
@@LeggariProducts what you sprayed on it?
@@LeggariProducts I agree with John, this is what true "modern" art looks like.
right!? Absolutely gorgeous!
@@LeggariProducts what you have on the bottle to sprayed on it?
It's amazingly beautiful with a lot of neatness.
The counters are gorgeous!! Although I think rhe kitchen sink should have had an upgrade prior to pouring the epoxy. A nice black ceramic sink would look very nice, or an oiled bronze sink or something. But that is some excellent work right there! Incredible! You guy's obviously know what your doing.
My thoughts exactly!
This combination of color is beautiful 🔥🔥🔥
It completely transformed the countertop. Absolutely beautiful!
Thank You!
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!
This was so gorgeous I had to mimic it on my own countertops. Thank you.
Pics or it didn't happen. lol
Please noisy and curious ppl like me need to see it and know
Amazing results! I have a cooking channel, so your video would not be necessarily on my watching list, BUT: I enjoyed every second of the video, from the beginning to the end! You guys are making wonders! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Actually, it’s not too much different from my work in the kitchen when I mix colors for the cakes 😃 well done 👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you!
@@LeggariProducts Oh, now I understand why the delivery of ready-made food home is relevant in the West and abroad!!! On such a table it is a pity to cook something, not a table but a work of art! Well done!🇺🇦
@@LeggariProducts No kitchen backslash? I'm assuming they are going to add tile? Otherwise that wall is going to look like crap within a few months.
❤ lovely finish
@@rjenkens2774they do countertops, there’s a ton of other elements to the decoration.
This is amazing. Tbh I was even impressed by the paint stir stick being used to hold the bottles
Omg sameee!! That shows how smart he is
Thank You! We try to think of every little way to make it as easy as possible.
@@LeggariProducts your products don’t need to be torched ? What’s about bubbles?
Excelente obra de arte, de muy buen gusto y distinción, gracias por regalarnos tanta maravilla
This is another way of making tiles more grace to ur effort .
Maravilhoso trabalho!
Fantastic! While watching the video I kept thinking how long it took you guy's to perfect the process. I would definitely use this product.
Thank You! We have step-by-step tutorials for every kit we sell to make it easy for you to get this look as well.
Dude what a high class work ❤
the part you rip the tape and the epoxy just follow the tape without dripping.. that is sooo cool!!!
Good stars this is beautiful, I love the colors and would love to have my coffee table and end tables done just like this❤
Thank You!
Belo trabalho muito bem feito🇧🇷👍
This cannot be described in words! Wow! 😍
Thank you for showing how it's done. It's awesome! You make it look so easy. I have wanted to do this for a few years now. I wish you could come and do it for me. My kitchen doesn't have as much counter top space as this video, but the prep work will take a while. I'm in Milwaukee WI.
i think these are my favourite colours so far
OMG. I have always loved granite, quartz, and other types of stone looks. This looks amazing. I cannot believe they can do this and it looks so natural. Great idea.
You forgot marble work top. ££££
Ok. But how durable it is? Is it going to be as shiny after a couple of years of using it?
It looks nothing like real stone not to mention long term quality is not even comparable
@@majakovacevic1038 i know 😂. Way too much effort to get a fake one at the end 😂. Tbh, that looks ugly anyways.
That takes my breath away . Magnificent work!
PERFEITO!!! .. excelente acabamento 🤩🤩.. PARABÉNS 👏👏👏
You made it look so easy…. I would need to watch this Thousand times To Get it!!!!!
Same!! 😂
I do not trust myself to do this but pls come over you I trust. What satisfaction you must feel .great job from keswick Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
THIS IS THE BEST COUNTERTOP DESIGN😘 IT IS EXTREMELY ARTSY AND FUN LOOKING😌
True artist indeed...👌👏 and the choice of colors is mesmerizing ,they definitely look like paintings 😘 I WISH THIS IS MY KITCHEN 😭😭😭
Thank you so much 😀
@@LeggariProducts 💞💞💞
Oh, now I understand why the delivery of ready-made food home is relevant in the West and abroad!!! On such a table it is a pity to cook something, not a table but a work of art! Well done!
Thank you!🔥
It looks so pretty already with the Black Alone...but I know the Ending is Beautiful❤
OMG! I have a kitchen countertop made of cheapest tiles and aged grout… and wood moulding to fake ‘edge tiles,’… Covered with a bathtub refinishing kit. And I LOVE it. THIS… OMG… THE POSSIBILITIES ARE SO MANY. Gorgeous, brilliant, magnificent… etc. 🎉❤
How much does this cost to get done
I did real granite for. 16 years , this is great idea & looks really good
Thank You!
Too much random pattern, not for me.
I have a very important question, have you ever redone a bathroom granite counter & sink? The sink is what I mostly wonder about so if you happen to have a video on that would be awesome. TIA
Excelente trabajo, muchas felicidades
Maravilloso trabajando de combinaciones eres genial!!!
Красиво очень красиво, такую кухню только в музей, жалко даже тарелочку поставить на такой стол! Работа супер👍👍👍
This came out like glass, love this product
Otro trabajo precioso felicidades Dios lo Bendiga
Absolutely amazingly talented!!!
Looks absolutely fantastic. Really good job!! 👌
Thank You!
Que trabalho lindo, amei o seu trabalho parabéns..
Not only dose it look real, and expensive... but you can choose and make what ever design you would like. Best of both worlds.
We agree!!
It's is perfect .. and no words to say....
This amazing. Looks beautiful ❤
Thank You!
Amazingly talented! Your skills are truly exceptional and inspiring!
Verdadeira Obra de arte.
Pow ficou top demais muito lindo parabéns
How durable is the finish against common kitchen mishaps (hot pans / dropping pans / occasional careless knife or fork use against this surface instead of a cutting board)? Is the resin, once cured, safe to touch cold and warm food?
Absolutely Stunning!!!👍🏽👍🏽
You did it so well men... I luv it.. I'm sure is not easy seems look like
Freakin’ gorgeous! Really looks good against all the white. Awesome results
Thank you!!
I do watch them. Nothing wrong with other companies doing it also though. If that’s considered muscling in, there would be no such concept as DIY!
Lindo teu trabalho 👏❤️
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique.
Beautiful kitchen countertops ❤
Thank you! 😊 Check out the other kits we offer here 👉 leggari.com/order-countertops/🔥
Rewelacja..coś przeslicznego 👍
To prawda!
Beautiful work... I ended up doing mine but instead I bought marble vinyl wrap did the counters with that then hit it with the Clear poxy over it....
That’s a great idea
Thought about doing that but was afraid the epoxy would damage the wrap somehow. Great idea
Wow i never thought of that! I'm afraid I'll fucked up the design and have to redone it
Super creative idea!!
@@FlyestDesign эпоксидка же зарапается. Разве она практична на кухне?
Looks awesome. How do you prevent bubbles though?
Wow, absolutely gorgeous and mind blowing and every single piece will be as unique as the actual stone, fascinating and thank you for sharing.
Очень красиво! Молодцы!
Let me tell you guys… everything looks great on the TV in HD you guys have a great quality video…everything looks so beautiful and I can see all the details of the dispersing effects that looks like a real piece of marble, stone or granite… it’s amazing how it looks…Gracias for sharing this video tutorial 👋😃👋Saludos!!!

Absolutely Gorgeous Counter Tops!!!
Hello Beverly
So delicate work from Pakistan
Came out perfect 🤙🏾
This is impressive clever art. Love it in the artistic and unique sense. At the same time I would be valuating it against stone tops benefits. How does it compare price wise anyone?
Hi. Are you familiar with Fat Albert's? Remember their tables with the cartoons? They were covered with epoxy. Very strong. Honestly, I feel that arboright (?) Counters are best for the unskilled. lol . The epoxy products are expensive and first timers would make a mess. I'm sure with labor these are quite dear, to have done, but leave it to the pros. 😆 EPOXY CANNOT STAND HEAT, not even as well as arboright, even though we are not to put heat on them either. These are beautiful, but honestly, I love cooking, and would get sick of looking at them. 🤣😂😅
Thank You!
@@kimberleyjane2338 CURED EPOXY CAN STAND HEAT.
@@wesleyg3088 Yes, but NOT to the degree that granite can, which I believe is what people are asking or comparing to here.
Err
Beautiful work
Looks awesome I have done countertops similar to this except I use cheep interior paint and toilet paper and a natural sponge 🧽 then put the latex clear coat on sometime I put pearl in the clear helps give it a beeper look I like to sink a penny into it somewhere in it jut to add something different. I have also did baseball cards anyway looks awesome
I need you to explain that process better, please.
This video was absolutely amazing the counters are fabulous not can compare to the workmanship you’ve done!!! Love it absolutely love it
Thank you! Check out this other wild countertop we did that we love! 👉 kzhead.info/sun/a8d9p5eKbJGEn40/bejne.html 🔥
What is the basecoat the black primer is covering? I am having difficulty figuring that part out. Thanks
What a beautiful outcome. Some suggestions for future videos: Explain a bit about what the actual materials are…not a science class for college kids but a basic quick intro telling what expoxy is, what steps you’ll be taking and what timespan the project takes, start to finish. You showed the pigments and the can of spray paint but I wondered why you’d be spraying your work. A quick word on prep beyond the obvious masking: anything special to use? Priming was interesting to watch, but pointing out tips for a thin even coat would help newbies. Same with the masking tape: any special tips to get it on so nicely? Great explanation/demo on how to pour Spritzing with the alcohol: whys and wherefores Great demo on reducing surface tension and cleaning up Sealing mentioned but not explained And personally--I hate the background music a lot of people used New subscriber and fan
All that is explained in detail with the tutorials you recieve in your email after purchasing your kit!
I agree with you the music choice was awful, I almost left because of it.
@@terivertefeuille6996 I left because of it
That is unbelievable. Well done. That is some very classy looking work.
My dude! I watched that whole video. That was so cool how you created that look from start to finish. I wish I could do this for my moms house and mine when I get one. I couldn’t tell from the video what kind of surface you started with. Was it wood or something else?
Ahşap 👌
Thank You! It started out as MDF plywood but we pour on the same kitchen over and over. we just pulled off the counter and started over with fresh MDF and there were 27 layers on this one countertop, what you saw was just a flood coat of are orange gold to level out the countertop again! It kinda looked like wood when it was all scuffed up to get a good bond didn’t it!
You can do it
@@LeggariProducts 27 layers? You had to repeat this process 27 times on on countertop? Or am I misinterpreting what you said?
@@pargolf3158 I believe they're just saying that they pour different designs on the same countertop over and over again. In other words, they'd done 27 different tutorials for different colors and then did this one. If you remove old tile and top with MDF, or start with Formica, you should be able to do this on it after the primer. Leggari, correct me if I'm mistaken please.
This turned out really great and explained it very well my guy!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
You can certainly do a lot with epoxy, I’ve seen tables that were made with nothing but epoxy, but even for a kitchen table, epoxy can make it look really nice.
Отличное работа, хотелось бы научиться создавать такие шедевры
Maintenance issues: - Heat resistance. So long as you don't sit a hot frying pan onto the surface, epoxy generally does a good job of heat resistance. For example, boiling water pot seated onto the counter does just fine. - Stain resistance. Generally, very good. Certain items, such as mustard and tumeric, are problematic. The longer such stains are left on the counter, the lighter the countertop color, it requires greater effort to remove. - Scratch resistance. The glossy surface does show up micro-scratches. The darker the surface, the more the scratches show up. Not an obvious problem for day-to-day use, but might be an issue for picky customers. - Aging. Epoxy does yellow with age. The thicker the application and the lighter the color, the more noticeable the yellowing.
Check out our durability test to see how our epoxy stands the test💯 👉 kzhead.info/sun/odSzeMOggp-Lemw/bejne.html
but best thing about it is, you can always just re apoxy it! :)
This is NOT a d.i.y. project. With the amount of labor and materials involved, you can have actual stone countertops
@@jimnora1705 depends who you are. Also if you want to spend 20k for a granite countertop then go for it. I got a quartz one recently in my remodel that is great and looks of marble haha
@@NotWatchingTV anyone who pays 20k for ANY countertop is an idiot and deserves to be ripped off. I can get quartz for $18.00 per square foot and natural stone starting at $23.00. So unless you've got over 800 square feet of countertop there's no way it's costing 20k. HaHa.
Thanks for sharing, sir. Please, I have wondering how long can this last and what can cause damage to it...
Simply brilliant and the best work possible 😉🤠
