If you’re brand new to epoxy countertops, this LIVE is for you. stonecoatcountertops.com

We’re starting from ground zero as I teach Stone Coat newbie Stacie how to create her own epoxy surface in real time. We’ll cover the best practices every beginner should know, the benefits of coating your existing countertops, and how to decide when resurfacing makes more sense than replacing.

Then we’ll get into one of the most important parts of creating realistic stone: choosing a look you want to recreate.
We’ll break down our inspiration, identify the colors, movement, veins, depth, and details that make the stone look the way it does, then figure out which Stone Coat techniques we can use to recreate it with epoxy.

And because this is live training, there are no practice runs. You’ll get to see exactly how Stacie does on her first attempt—the good, the bad, and everything we learn along the way.

Whether you’re planning your first epoxy countertop project or just want to better understand how realistic stone designs are created, this is a great place to start.
