Collection: Countertop Kits

Yes! You can use our kits on newly fabricated countertops made from MDF. Be sure to use the correct products and follow the proper surface prep instructions whether you're using APEX or Countertop Epoxy.

For best results, DO NOT use acetone to clean or prep your surface.

We recommend using 91% isopropyl alcohol for:

• Surface preparation before pouring
  
• Cleaning between poured layers
  
• Creating cell textures and effects when using Countertop Epoxy
  

Using acetone may interfere with adhesion and final finish quality. Stick with 91% isopropyl alcohol for a clean, professional result.

No. Our white and light countertop kit styles have been updated to use the APEX system, which was engineered specifically to preserve true whites and light-colored countertop designs over time.

Unlike traditional epoxy systems, which can naturally amber or yellow as they age, APEX is designed with advanced UV stability to help maintain color clarity and brightness. Our UV chamber testing indicates 20+ years of color stability.

With proper application and care, an APEX countertop coating is built to provide long-term durability and help your white countertop stay bright for years to come.

Yes. Stone Coat countertop kits have a shelf life, and storage conditions can impact product performance.

APEX countertop kits have an unopened shelf life of 18 months when stored properly. Once opened, we recommend using the product promptly and resealing containers tightly between uses.

Epoxy countertop kits have an unopened shelf life of approximately 1 year. After opening, exposure to oxygen can begin to affect the material, so proper storage is important. Keep containers tightly sealed and store in a cool, dark place. When stored properly, opened epoxy products typically perform best when used within 6 months.

For the best results, always check your product packaging and use materials within the recommended timeframe.
