But I waited longer to put our heavy mixer back in place, just in case. We waited another day before replacing everything. We applied the epoxy around 7 pm and it was dry to the touch by the next morning. How long does it take for the epoxy to dry? Gloves are included in the kit, but if you get the epoxy on your hands, rubbing alcohol removes the stickiness. It did spill onto the drop cloth, but it wasn’t a lot of it. This epoxy was a lot easier to use than other brands that I’ve used in the past.

(Use a drop cloth if you’re nervous though.) The paint is super thick and doesn’t drip. There were a few areas where I didn’t blend it enough, so I sponged white paint over those areas to correct the areas. If you hate how it looks, you can either spray it with water and wipe it away or let it dry and paint over it. The process includes a lot of blending and spraying with water, which is pretty forgiving. While I think artistic talent helps with the process, it’s not necessary. Do you need artistic talent to paint a marble faux finish? The epoxy smelled a little, but it went away too and then strangely started smelling like toilet cleaner as it dried. The paint smelled like normal paint and the smell went away pretty quickly. I had my husband help me, but I could have done it by myself. I think it took about 30 minutes for this process. The marbling part was so fun and easy to correct if you created an ugly spot. It probably took about 1 1/2 hours, if that.

I needed 2 full coats of paint and 1 touch-up coat for the corners where it met the backsplash. The paint went really far and covered really well. This kit was really easy to use and very forgiving. Seriously, that was the most fun I’ve had in a DIY project in a really long time.įor about $200, I was able to redo my laminate countertops in a weekend.

I had a ton of concerns before I got started, but I found the process much easier and even fun to complete. Now I have enough to redo all 3 of our bathroom countertops as well. I ordered extra because I didn’t want to run out of supplies halfway through the process. I also needed painter’s tape and a roller tray, both of which I already had.īy the way, the kit covered way more than it says it will. The only thing I added was more tarps because my kitchen has a bar ledge that needed to be coated as well. The kit contains almost everything you need to paint and seal your countertop. So I decided to try out the Gianni marble epoxy countertop kit. I loved how those surfaces held up over time, so we wanted something similar. In our last home, we covered the countertop in a thin layer of concrete and sealed them with epoxy. A complete kitchen renovation isn’t in the budget right now, so we looked for a cheaper DIY solution. So we knew that we needed to do something to fix them. The fronts were also painted and were flaking off with use. They stained so easily and always looked dirty.Įverything that touched them stained the surface.
