 Another day another countertop. It's regular. Of course I did sample This is all before is bonding no peeling the base of this counter is cement that Was painted over Cuz brilliant with this stuff is is It's transparent And it's good because you get a gray base And it's a lot easier to cover With the black like you do light blue if you do blue you do pink you do red Now that this is all dry After being even coat since it's under back of base coat. It already looks good You see what did look great Amazing So day two we have the surface prepped masked off primed Sealed bonded and ready to go we're gonna start with this top one top one top bar because gravity It's gonna knock some knock drip some of our resin off to the bottom. We did have this to be like a catch-all But because heat gun it So we put this down just to catch whatever may fall off because we are also resonant resonant We're also doing this part So we're gonna mix up our resin It's two part just like always It is Envirotex light We like using this for our bar tops because many reasons One of which is that it is Heat and alcohol-resistant and also waterproof no polish required etc etc etc And because of the stress test that we've also put it through it's the best for what we we need it for We're starting out This top bar with a Full kit which is 32 ounces 16 and 16. It's two part resin. I should go over why it's important But just tune into one of our other videos that goes over it. It's in literally all of them For this amount will probably mix it up for at least six minutes you got one of these handy dandy buckets That shows parts and measurements and all of those things It's helpful. You can also weigh out your resin a lot of people use scales That's too much math for me right now. It's earlier in the morning. What time is it? 1245 in the afternoon while he's doing that. I'll show you guys the test piece again that we did for this client I think we're not gonna be able to see much of it cuz reflections. It's Silver And heavy Silver and black marble with kind of the metallic paint in it with Silver spray paint the paints that we are going to use are India ink you can get it hobby lobby anywhere just any black ink. We like to use inks because They have a transparent nature We're also going to be using this which I introduced in a previous video Lumiere By jacquard, I don't know if you can read it, but it is number 563 metallic silver It's a metallic acrylic I'll show you what it looks like when I open it, but it's a thicker paste like metallic paint Doesn't take much and then we're usually we use a gold Overlay we're using a silver Ideally I probably would have used Versilium But we're going with Montana whip for this one the number is Somewhere It's silver chrome by Montana and That's the brand series is gold But it's silver We're gonna mixing make sure you scrape the sides the bottom your star stick Everything that touches resin needs to be equally mixed so you don't get weak spots in your resin And if you can see the bubbles that are being mixed in there, we'll take care of those later With our heat gun next we're gonna dye our resin Honestly depending on how I'll take you on it doesn't take much. That was two dropper foals for probably what equates to 25 ounces Instant tar You're giving clothes babe like you know what you're talking about. Well, what do you think it is? I have no clue There's no way you can know that I Mean how much is in that little dropper? No, you I'm saying you did two droppers for about 25 ounces of resin Well, it used to be and then you poured some in here it's probably 30 ounces Darker, I don't think so because the base is dark. Yeah, I just want to show what that paste looks like Still what still settling so it's not an even Finish yet. This is after what four hours. There's no way to get a good video of it day two Black marble looks like this wait Yeah, it's like this It's a little bit wavy the temperature dropped here last night. So since this original base is Something concrete. Yeah, it used to be concrete. I can't see it now, but yeah, you can't it's concrete So it retained the coldness so we jacked up the temperature in the townhouse last night and So it's pretty warm in here today We're going to ensure that our resin is at the required temperature which is above 75 degrees below 85 degrees for optimal application Yeah, optimal application. Is that what I said? That's what I said. What else? Oh, yeah Because it's concrete There are these very annoying little like indentions That we couldn't get our rolled paint or the resin to go into so we're going to paint these in black today Before we add the top coat that way those won't be Visible additionally We take this off obviously, but since it used to be concrete and we taped it off So remedy this We're going to spray paint it So in order to do this we are Blocking everything that we don't want the spray paint on and going for it Anytime you work with spray paint Stay away from anything flammable combustible. So I mean this is a gas range everything's off Wear a respirator and have proper ventilation Now it doesn't look like looks like This so now we're going to do the other side. All right, you get pro tip on a Thursday Normally it'll be pro tip Friday But if you're just doing a small area painting and you don't want Overspray you don't have Paper to Put down If you just crease your tape Give you a little ball right here It's where the paint has nowhere to go so you reduce any or all of the Overspray Which is pretty much a given with spray paint and airbrush Very resonating this way you don't have to like pull out appliances Just to make sure your edges are sharp Mask it off and you spray paint spray paint has so many wonderful qualities and Pro tip another one if you have a graffiti shop Or a skate shop sometimes I have met skateboard shops or Amazon or Amazon you can get It's what graffiti writers use for Everything Thin lettering fat lettering you have to have an adapter to put it on this Rust-Oleum But it it comes out smoother Not so just sprays like full force I Believe this is a New York thin You get a more controlled line. Yeah more controlled Paint comes out nice and smooth. It makes a big difference. They can you can see like there's hardly any overspray like Here is another pro tip Which we love to to use If you if you sand a lot, which we do and You've you know, you want to fold your sandpaper in half When you're sanding you don't realize when these are together And you're standing standing sanding turn it over sanding and then you want to use this side This side is pretty much wore down as well because it's touching itself While you're standing So I figured If you put a piece of cloth in there Fold it it gives you a little better handle and for your countertop, it's It's it's really good because it gives it a Just what would you say a flush sanding like And you don't leave fingerprints. So if you're like If you're just standing most likely you're gonna leave Like sanding prints, I guess that's what you could call them and this doesn't Pretty much allow that it gives you a good even sand See that Nice little even sand 220 look at that Pretty cool, huh? So while he's sanding I'm going to warm up this resin You can see it's kind of the bubble moving pretty slow in there It's pretty chilly here in Dallas So a good way to get your resin up to temperature is to get some warm water and Just so let the resin Just be in there. It's not like boiling Obviously, I wouldn't be able to put my hand in there. I Mean I would on accident Anyways, we're just going to give these a warm bath while he's standing and while we are masking everything back off Ideally your resin should be between 75 and 85 degrees in order to avoid this this lumpiness that client didn't mind but We mined So we're gonna try to get it as smooth as we can even though it is over concrete So yeah, so after hitting it with a 220 you can see Where all these little divots and dips are because it's not a smooth surface, so It's gonna get sanded differently They're not pits. They're just waves So we are standing up with the 220 in order to give the space a good tooth for the next layer to adhere to Don't worry All these scuffs will get filled in with resin. We're going to sand it all down with the 220 and Then we're going to wipe it all off with A 91% alcohol. It won't take long for that to air dry And then we will proceed with the process So see these little guys All these little spots Are where we couldn't get our resin So in order to remain a yet room-reader or to fix it we're going to I just sprayed some spray paint into this cup and We need to use a small Hard-breath little brush to get it all up in it Oh, I thought you meant to Blonde moment because I thought that was the plan Change that we're just gonna spray it right all of it. I'm scared. Okay. I know what the hole is I'll be John Brown just focus that with my nose skills So these are made fitting for 15 minutes so much better I need to get to you. I think we'll get the brush on it Focus we hold this. All right, take it. This is where we're at before We've got a new toy. We'll put this three for the top coat You care that and that and all the bottom. It's got to do the top now So be how they're going and assuming nothing gets into it. It's got to sit
