You really need two people because you have to be fast to catch the drips. We do have a couple of spots where it ran down the front of our cabinets. I don't think it is really obvious, but it is there. Even though it is extra work I recommend taping paper onto all surface that might get dripped on. I now wish we had been more diligent about that. As far as the finished product goes, we are very pleased with it. I don't think it looks like a layer of glass. I haven't seen pictures that look like that, but my guess would be that they just used more epoxy than necessary. We used just the amount that the box recommended and it worked well. Most people that have seen them in person don't know until we tell them that the counters were a DIY project. If you try it I would love to see how it turns out. Best of luck!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429471987177027913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532052334945205275.post-12001390219929591212014-02-07T08:13:28.716-08:002014-02-07T08:13:28.716-08:00OK, so thank you soo much for doing this post!! Y...OK, so thank you soo much for doing this post!! Your countertops are gorgeous...you must be proud! Alrighty,I have done my research on the countertops....and definitely like the $.79 (and $.59 at walmart) acrylic craft paint...BUT...I'm REALLY nervous about using the two-part Epoxy mix. Was this hard? I have read horror stories about getting it on the front edge of the countertop, it ending up wavy and thin and potentially clumpy, do you have any suggestions? My husband is kinda begrudgingly helping me with this and I want to make sure I am confident before I bring the idea to him! Also, does the surface look "natural" or does it look like a layer of glass just put on top of the counter? Your pictures don't look this wayat all, but several of the others I have seen do and the pictures do not portray it as an attractive coating....I'm just trying to be real! Have you seen what I'm talking about? Are they just bad photographers or do you have any suggestions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356513494082560491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532052334945205275.post-59982107602304024712012-11-26T12:37:28.951-08:002012-11-26T12:37:28.951-08:00“One of the great things about painting your count...“One of the great things about painting your countertops is that you can play around and get a completely individual look.” – I totally agree with you. Whether you want your granite or wooden countertop to have a unique look, painting them can be the way. With painting, you can mix and match some colors and patterns that would suit the overall look of the kitchen.

The only...They are actually holding up beautifully! The only issue we have found is that when we use our griddle we need to put a large cutting board or something under it. My husband put it directly on top and it caused the counter to yellow very slightly. I don't think it is something anyone would notice if they didn't know it was there. I have been very very pleased with how well they have held up to me and my two young boys. I still highly recommend it!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429471987177027913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532052334945205275.post-14998666429340693932012-11-25T22:44:14.427-08:002012-11-25T22:44:14.427-08:00These are beautiful.

It covers the edges, but not as well as thickly as the tops. Like I said it really is a two person job for the large sections. You just have to keep moving the product around the edges smoothing it with the brush. Good luck!
