 What is up you guys? We are in my parents home in middle of nowhere, Alabama and Today right now in this moment. We are working on This table for my sister now 36 by This has got to be like It might be 36 by 60 now. This is like 36 by 50. Maybe Maybe 36 by 50 It's a little bit bigger than 48 She goes up there yelling at me so we could go upstairs because he's been bothering my mom's dog Hold on miss. So what I'm doing is there's like laminate that's chipped off and like It looked bad because there's some on and some off So I'm just like running my knife away from me and just running it Right along the edge. I Could probably heat this up and it would probably just pop off of here It's so old it it's literally just Coming off as I scrape it There you go Now you have more of a clean edge So that and you don't have to worry about if somebody's picking at it It would it probably would have came over the edge and just stopped and then There probably would have been a little gap. So then if somebody were to pick at it They probably picked that right up So be careful with knives. So the first step that we did was that We tarped this whole floor area because Resonant floors is not fun unless you're planning on actually resonating your floor. Sorry I have to let little dogs up So you can go bother the big dogs So Now that we have this like edge Cleaned off It's time to what? I would probably take off all the legs, but There's such a hangover that I don't Well, we can take alcohol and yeah, I don't see it getting on here And if we decide to after we'll just stand it down and paint the legs a solid color like white because What you want on this table is a white and Silver marble granite Isn't that a fun sound? Look So I will So I will see you guys in The next segment What about what we're doing? I'm just sanding this top because I'm sure that it has years and years of Life stuff on it life And I'd like to give it a little texture so that the primer will Will stay so we can do a couple layers What is that? This is sandpaper. I believe this is a Iron no, it's a sanding block. Oh Gum rubber grout float, but I tape some 60 grit on here Market so it's finally time to Resin this bad boy right here. This is Jessica's dining room table. It's probably a What did we say it was? This table that is a bigger than 48 She requested a white silver marble So I think for this we're gonna start out with about 48 inches. Nope 48 ounces So we're starting with 48 ounces Prior to this Jeff set the resin in front of a space heater that one right there in order to thin The resin just a little bit because it is colder here So it helps the resin to be more workable Also prior to Us filming right now we Sorry, I'm just taking you guys off of The tripod. No, I'm not because I can't get it undone Maybe I can You guys can hear Kujo up there So prior to right now yesterday we Did the prep work for this table which was to sand it and paint it with this Primer it this one in particular is from Zinsir it's bullseye one two three primer for all surfaces. It's a water-based interior primer It also acts as a bonding agent so that there's a tooth for the resin to stick to we also Put down a tarp on the floor protected the legs and taped Under sorry got blurry We taped under The table so that cleanup will be a lot easier If we had a power tool that would have been ideal, but I didn't bring it You have to make sure that you mix your resin thoroughly and completely because if you don't you'll end up with weak spots in your resin which is Not a good thing if you end up with a weak spot. You'll have to Basically clean it out sand it and do a top coat and It may mess up your design depending on where the weak spot is so you have to make sure you fully incorporate the part a and part b together Making sure to scrape the sides the bottom of your bucket and whatever stir stick you're using Because it'll stick to all though So you want to make sure that everything is fully incorporated the resin that we're using today because I don't have my Countertop resin is stone coats art coat. It has a lot of the properties of the countertop resin And I love working with it. It's the best resin I know of if you are interested in this resin use the code y'all YALL and all capitals so that you can get $30 off of your $80 order. Just make sure you have $80 in your cart when you put the code in So that you can get Your discount. It's awesome That includes the base tints as well also awesome best on the market in our opinion You don't have to do things our way We're not like professional table or countertop makers We're not the authority on this in any way we just are showing you guys how we do it The first color we're mixing up is a color called Where is it? Yes Read that wide over everything But if you don't want to do it that way we don't have to do it that way. Okay So the first color he mixed up is called graphite it is by just resin It's a paste it works awesomely. It doesn't take a lot to tint your resin We've also mixed up in the Spritz bottle 91% alcohol and some metal powder this metal powder in particular is from Mona Lisa products so we're taking the rest of Yeah, we always like to keep some on the side in Case we need to make more of one color or another so we don't have to mix up a whole new batch So he's making the majority in white since the request is for white and silver marble the Graphite color is like a luster so that'll add some shimmer sparkle to it and Obviously the silver is gonna have some shimmery sparkly goodness as well You know, we make sure you have a rag full of alcohol 91% at least I mean, I guess you can use 70 it just gets the resin the paint off your hand so you don't grab something it gets sticky and messy and Just make sure you don't lift leave that next to your torch or use it next to your torch. It will Set on fire. You will not have a good day and be a very bad day for sure. This is my lovely sister Jessica She taught me how to make soap yesterday And of course our amazing mascot is here. What's up, miss? Are you adorable? Know it cool Titans over here to Observing the situation He's like, uh, excuse me I have a question for you Sorry, I didn't mean to hype him up if I Was more prepared I would have a notched trowel with us so that we can even more mix our Resin Once you lay it out, you can use your notched trowel to Further mix your resin together and mix the paint into your resin while you're spreading it over the surface of your substrate Substrate we're gonna use the term substrate You're spreading your resin around you just want to bring it just to the edge but not over So that as much of your product stays on the surface as Possible you don't want it to roll over just yet as soon as you like Give resin a way out. It's gonna take it and since this is a table We don't really have that much control over how level it is It's as level as we can get it but any percent off will make the resin Runoff since it's self-leveling. It's gonna try to find the lowest point and Get there the thinner of the two in first that'll help When you mix your parts together to Fully incorporate and not just stick to the side So the thinner one in this case is part B, which is the hardener Be just on 16 more ounces Yeah, because it's just going to be some white filler Just I didn't even think about that either but someone asked me Which to put in first and for a while. I was like, it doesn't matter. They're all getting mixed together And then I found out that you want the thinner one first And that'll help it not to stick to the edges When you mix your resin you're gonna notice some bubbles up here. That's fine. Don't worry about it we're going to pop those with the heat and Some alcohol spritz later, so nothing to be concerned about Also, if you're sensitive, it smells although this is I Can't smell anything with it and I've never had a reaction or a problem with this resin Everybody's different. So if you feel that you need some kind of respirator and like long-sleeve shirts Protect yourself if you're you know, you're sensitive So the first layer we put a little bit of white to make it the color we want for this batch we're gonna add a little bit more White to make it more opaque and a brighter so that it gives me an extra depth Be careful not to overload your resin when you do this at home because you're because That'll change the chemistry of your resin and it will Thicken up on you really fast if you have too much Sees on you it could turn into marshmallow fluff Just Always remember you can add more you can't take it away You can kind of see there The difference in the first white and the second one that we are now applying just a little bit brighter Little bit more random Now We can make very faint gray veins. Look at that. I don't make a nice Nice gray vein so that it's very light very Subtle very subtle like it's underneath because that's if you look at granite you could see How like the layers and layers of it from the bottom to the top of the piece I'm just gonna randomly We're just gonna go it's great already Whenever you're doing anything that you're adding lines to Try to start mostly off of the piece That way you don't have like blurbs unless you want blurbs unless you want blurbs a little bit A little bit bigger at one point so that it looks like it's kind of going out from that. That's fine But normally with art you kind of want to start off to the side so that this side isn't just you're not wasting a bunch of Paint right here because it's gonna go off anyway. So just kind of so your mind starts a little more right but for Marble for example, it's okay to have these because we're gonna roll it. Yeah, like Because you don't know where that this heavy piece comes from it could be darker way down at the bottom And then this is just coming through super light so What are you doing now right now? I'm gonna I'm soaking this little roller in the same color resin So that when I put this down it doesn't just soak up all the resin. I'm gonna roll this so it kind of lightens these lines up and blends them into the Blends them into the white So you can get layers Normally how it works sometimes it does not so We'll see here use the edge a Little bit gives it that awesome marble look Come off to the side a little bit if you want just feathers it out and Kind of trails it. Yeah, it gives it that nice Kind of chaotic but nice Granite fade and you'll see like that texture of the streak that came through but that will settle in see that Well, he's in the way, but you can see kind of the texture From the roll but that will settle in and sink So that won't be evident if you think about it marble is obviously made by nature and nature is Very random. Very random. It's perfect and it's in perfection So you don't want to be like too linear or to What's the word To refine with it because It's not supposed to be It's also super important to pre-soak your roller So that it doesn't just pick up all of your resin and paint the first time So right now Jeff is also rolling the edges so that we can continue the design over the sides A little bit just you wanted some darker parts as well, right? Yeah, there's gonna be I just wanted to clarify before we did it that she didn't just want like soft What's next? So we're just building the color now Basically layering up like how marble would be building color like this even makes those like faint lines look even better so this roller is pre-loaded with the first gray that we did we don't want to Load it with this darker one because it'll Make the white marble turn into not white marble anymore. It'll get too muddy so Since the roller is already pre-loaded From the first time around we're just gonna jump straight into rolling the new lines Also, sometimes Jeff doesn't use the whole roller base. He just uses the edge because I think sometimes it like takes too much off and then it That the edge will just grab some of it and then you can just kind of come off work for the extra little Crazy little vine. Yeah, and you can't really see it But it makes a difference. It definitely makes a difference if it looks too straight or too Stagnant just get in there and make a new line. Just you know, maybe Come off one area There's another part growing inside of there or something like Bob Ross now This is just a happy little crack of the marble Happy crack Speak up Speak up We're gonna take I guess I just see all these bubbles. So now we're gonna add some heat to it and what this does is It pops all the bubbles that we mixed in you can see them here this texture We need the Also, be careful when you're using a heat gun or torch or any heat source because obviously it gets really hot And you don't want to injure yourself. I am proof that injuries Do happen They do and it's not a good time because they look like this This is actually the front of one of those from a countertop that we were doing in Maryland It was a good time Even though I got injured Let me it be a lesson to you all to just stay safe out there. Also The first layer Um When you do this be careful not to add too much heat because you don't want to scorch or burn your resin Additionally, you don't want to Then your resin out so much that it rolls off of your surface The hotter it gets or warmer it gets the thinner it gets and thinner it is The more fluid it will be so just keep that in mind when you're using your heat Are you doing any design elements with this right now? We need some tweezers just you have any tweezers that you don't mind getting resin on Do you want me to pop the bubbles over here I was just worried like Okay, so talk Through why you're adding white right now. I'm gonna add white just to give it a little bit more contrast So it looks like there's a little bit brighter marble, you know like the original marble coming through and and Maybe put some extra little veins and lines so that it's just not Why why why like it'll be a little start brighter and that's the thing with this is you can go over Lines with the white you kind of make your own little Cracks go next to the big ones give it a little contrast like I said and pick out any trash that may be in this obviously after this sets we're gonna do a clear coat and a lot of this stuff's gonna get buffed out, but If it's like a hair or like a dark hair or something like that even if you Sand it down and I'll have a texture you may still see it So I'm trying to remove those as he goes you do a countertop It's almost impossible to not get something to land in it because you're in an open space. It's hard to cover it So you kind of just have to roll with it. Don't get all worked up. It's something lands in it It's always a fix So I'm gonna take black and put it in the parts where I'm gonna take the heat and Kind of blow over that so it starts to mix in like marble Sometimes it's hard to tell what is Something and what's bubbles? Yeah, I was like laying that flat like Crazy little edge Human touch It's crazy how much you think you need to mix up especially with the color like this like the black you you need maybe two to four ounces like Because you're not pouring it on you're putting it on with a little stick and you know you're controlling it You don't need a lot to control it So you don't want to put too much because then your white marble is gonna turn into black Look at that You're using a powder and get it out of the way of any blowing air so you don't Have an accident, it's not a fun accident to have I love these like dual lines The great thing about this is I can stop sleeping it and I don't have to think you need to line the whole way The new thing I've been resin So if you guys are wondering what I was doing a second ago, I took a regular Ziploc bag and I mixed my Silver resin on the side and I poured it into this bag and then I Just took some scissors and cut off just like the smallest tip of it So that I can just pipe the resin on much like you would do a cake if you were a baker Not right or white. I'm just going around and picking up anything extra that may have landed in the surface Since we're using a whole bunch of air That tends to kick up Things in the room Whitney's seeing us coming together like slowly but surely Like an art piece but also a table and it's just one that's functional art. Yeah, great till we spray this silver on here So I'll use doing that. I'm just going to take you guys down on a little adventure So you can see some true color areas That silver sparkles and just pops Not amazing Completely amazing Take some of your white that you put down Heat it up and maybe you know blow it over some black or blow it over the Off-gray so they you know gives it that mixed in love Go Archie Like like if you're like trying to make cells Just kind of blow it into the other part So it just kind of fades in because if you don't want that really harsh white line Which this will all kind of just kind of fade together anyways It just kind of Get this little I'm gonna show you all this Super awesome silver Just floats up to the surface now if you do use a metal plate like that you have to be careful when you sand it down for your next layer or something lands in it because it is Very light so it floats and if you sand it you'll sand all that awesome like glowing silver you'll sand it off so Either just don't stand in those areas Or just don't stand in those areas That's really the only option you have because if you sand it at all it's gonna come off So just sand in the big patches that aren't like that Just know every time you lay some resin down Make sure you put heat over it because there's bubbles in that you don't want to leave that because when you come back the next day That little line that you leave will be a perfect little thing of bubbles That'll ruin your whole day So make sure if you have something this size and somebody's doing something just get an area Move up get an area move up get an area just kind of do it in a section so you're not just sporadically Filling everywhere so you make sure you hit all those spots Have a system so that nothing's left unpopped Now since we are gonna spritz some silver over it That's gonna be another way the the bubbles are gonna pop Because there's alcohol in our silver spray Look at that. Look how this just glows Love it. I will have this color available in our shop artist till death comm mid January Also have a gold and a bronze If you use this much heat make sure your resin is at least an hour long working time Because if it's not your resin is gonna set up in a heartbeat. You don't want that You know edge like that so it gives it a nice contrast and hard edge to where that's you know Where it's been cut and that is the dark part and then those are the lighter parts It's kind of coming through the marble Trash Okay, boys More white in the big spots I Really like like this subtle white. That's like cross ways I'm saying like I want to do like kind of a bigger puddle and smooth it out so that You know, it's like it's not just a you know more natural If there's something that's breaking that up a little bit Well, you've got some white here and you've got all this clear left right here I'm gonna put you guys back in this trap how did Voila So now that he's popped all those bubbles, I can really see what is a flaw I can go ahead and get those out. It's also what you can do take your hand in the white And just kind of hit this side just tap the side Just so that you know all this is covered So then you can come back with your gray or your dark gray And just kind of run it off the side so then it gives it that illusion that that that's that dark part That's you know inside the stone. There you go And well, and you can hit that with the heat gun and it'll really make it run down So it'll look really nice Remember I have a little system So you know, you're gonna hit all of these buck bubbles in this new Resident you just put down And you want to kind of get rid of some of those Hard lines if you want that's what makes these really nice Like a marble effect when you push the heat down and it kind of goes out It kind of goes out and then come back in and give it that nice fade Just be careful when you're doing that because If you scorch that resin, it's gonna set up and dry out and look like a stale and patch It's not a good look. If it boils, you've done too much. So what you do Heat it up a little bit. Don't go to some other area Eat that up a little bit Heat up around it. So then when you do heat that part The part around it will be a little bit heat up as well So then it's easier for it to move And you're just basically just moving it with the air The best way to do this is to let this dry for like three days and then sand it and put mat Finish over it and it looks like you don't have to if you want shiny But then it looks just like marble because it's matte Makes it look almost heavy. I've done that with a couple pieces So what are we doing right now right here? We're adding some metal Silver powder to some alcohol to make a very amazing effect. You always want to put a little bit More powder than you think just so that you know that it's going to be opaque and good spray You're not trying to fill it up or anything You really need to saturate it with the color that you're using so You think it's gonna take away from the white. No, I just think that If we just thin it out a little more, I think it was just there's a lot in there So and if we just do it like if we just go Just kind of like a and then heat it up Kind of I Don't want to spray the entire thing. I just want to spray it like You know what I mean? Or do you want it just kind of I was thinking missed it But if you want to do like a hard line, then that's a little hard, but ready Yeah, if your sprayer starts to mess up stop spraying and Spray on something so it does it gives it a good even spray Take your heat gun break this up a little bit heat that up All that resin will come through there we did that Old style old style old style marbles. I kind of like these like Dotson motion it makes it like So we're choosing to use a heat gun for this because we want the heat as well as some like Blown air you can use a torch But the torch moves resin from Basically Intense heat so if you're worried about scorching your resin or your resin heating up too fast or whatever Heat gun may be the way to go for you any novice. I would definitely say heat gun over torch So I think the table slightly tilted this way because of these These ones and these here I think we're gonna Think it's tilted. We have to put a couple popsicle sticks under So then it gives it that do you want to try to pick it up and let's attempt to tilt So it's not too off, but I feel like just a couple of popsicle sticks should be good How amazing did this table turn out?
