How to Make Soap Stone with your Hands


👈


Step #1: Sand and Clean

Before applying Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy over your existing surface you will want to first sand the surface with
220 grit sandpaper. Be sure to sand thoroughly along the top, and the edges of your project to get rid of any high points
and help promote adhesion. Once you're finished sanding, you will want to wipe the dust off with Acetone or 91% Isopropyl Alcohol until clean.

Step 1: Sand and Clean - Prepare the surface by sanding with 220 grit paper, then clean with Acetone or 91% Isopropyl Alcohol.

Step #2: Mix Stone Coat Countertop Epoxy

Our regular countertop epoxy is a 1:1 ratio by volume coating. Pour part B and then part A into a mixing container and mix for 2 minutes with a drill and paddle mixer. Once you've finished mixing, pour the epoxy out into individual cups so you can add your different color additives.  

Step 2: Mixing Epoxy - Combine part B and part A in a mixing container at a 1:1 ratio, mix for 2 minutes with a drill and paddle mixer.

Step #3: Add & Mix Additives

Add metallic powders, epoxy dyes and spray paints directly to your mixing buckets. Mix thoroughly with a mixing stick.

Step 3: Mixing Additives - Combine metallic powders, epoxy dyes, and spray paints in your mixing buckets according to the provided recipe.

Step #4: Apply Wash Coat

Tint enough epoxy to thinly apply a wash coat to your project. We tint our wash coat completely opaque. Pour the tinted epoxy on the center of your project and use a mixing or paint stick to spread. Use your gloved hands to spread if you wish.

Step 4: Applying Wash Coat - Tint epoxy for a fully opaque wash coat, pour onto the center of the project, and spread using a mixing stick.

Step #5: Pour Out Tinted Epoxy

Apply your tinted epoxy to your countertop by pouring directly on to your project out of the mixing cup. Overlap and layer the epoxy as desired. Pour out of a bucket, cup, or use a stick to achieve desired look.

Step 5: Pouring Tinted Epoxy - Apply tinted epoxy to the countertop by pouring directly from the mixing cup.

Step #6: Meld Epoxy

Use a heat gun or torch to meld the tinted epoxy together on the surface of your project. Do this to achieve a more natural look. Keep from over melding and mixing on the surface. The different additives will work their magic on your project leaving realistic features found in mother nature.

Step 6: Melding Epoxy - Use a heat gun or torch to blend the tinted epoxy for a natural look. Avoid over-melding to create realistic features.

Step #7: Removing Drips

After approximately 2 hours after pouring, your epoxy should start to become jell-like. Take a mixing stick, and a gloved hand to scrape the underside of your epoxy project to ensure a smooth surface.

Step 7: Removing Drips - After 2 hours, when the epoxy is gel-like, use a mixing stick and gloved hand to scrape the underside for a smooth surface.
