2. Use a small amount of white base to tint the mixed epoxy.

   

3. Mix the tinted epoxy with a paint stick until completely white.

   

4. Pour the white epoxy out in the center of the pre-prepped tinted natural gray countertop. You can view the video on using our bonding primer to prep your laminate countertop here.

   

5. Use a ⅛” x ⅛” square notch trowel to apply the epoxy evenly on the countertop.

   

6. Use a 2” chop brush to apply long horizontal strokes of epoxy to coat the edges.

   

7. Put a small amount of black spray paint in an area where you can dip your chop brush. This will be used to apply color to the countertop.

8.  Start with a small amount of paint, remember a little goes a long way in creating those marble lines!

   

9. Use a 2” chop brush to apply color. Start in one area and fan the color out on the project before dipping the brush back into the paint. This will help create the marble appearance.
   

   

10. Use a heat gun to blend and meld the epoxy for a realistic natural marble look.

    

11. A propane torch can also be used to blend and meld the epoxy. A torch will make quick work of removing air bubbles.
