Epoxy countertop refinishing

5 years ago

Did anyone have experience with using epoxy to refinish over an existing countertop? We are contemplating using an epoxy countertop system (Leggari) to refinish the old laminate countertops in our kitchen. I’m curious as to the level of difficulty for a novice DIYer. On a scale of 1% to 100% how likely am I to screw it up and need to replace the counters outright?

Save your money please. The whole concept is kinda hillbilly and in combination with your level of DIY skill, "this might not be good" as the country song goes.

There are many YouTube videos about different types of counter-top refinishing--by pro's as well as DIYers--so you might want to spend some time reviewing those. A DIYer friend of mine coated her tops with something that mimics concrete, but the dark color she chose reminded me of soapstone. I don't know the brand, but it looks nice, and it will buy her some time.
