Epoxy Resin as a Countertop/Island top...

8 years ago

I am working on doing an art installation - epoxy resin on an 8 foot island. I chose this as I found the former 5 foot stainless steel actually "oxidized" or loss some of its gleam and I maybe stupidly decided let's do something crazy. Buying all the supplies, tools, wood, leafing, resin, legs and pizza since I need help will be about $700. An artist said she could do it for $7500. I am just wondering does anyone recommend an epoxy resin to do the final cout for toughness. I have ArtResin for the actually base layer(s) and then would buy something to protect the base. I have seen stuff on you tube I think called Stone Effects and another called Stonecoat etc Also a Rustoleum product


I appreciate if you tell me this is too ambitious or crazy. I decided while they show you how to make it look like granite or quartz I believe since the rest of my counter is granite this should NOT mimic it- just buy the real stuff but I am thinking going shades of blue and turquoise and maybe purple and silver. I wish I knew how to use and where to buy mica flakes rather than glitter.
