MARBLE EPOXY COUNTERTOP

One of the great things about epoxy is that you can add pigments to it and create colours and then mix various colours of epoxy to make gorgeous patterns.

One of them is turning it into faux marble. If you look at the marble epoxy countertop, you will never tell that it is not real marble.

Advantages of using epoxy marble:

• It is waterproof – making it a great choice for bathroom or kitchen counters
• It is food-contact safe. You can’t cut on it but you can definitely keep food on it. This makes it great for kitchen countertops, trays, serving boards, etc.
• It is cheaper than the real thing.

All of these advantages make it a great candidate for many applications:

• Give your old countertops new life
• Make a faux marble epoxy board to go in your project
• Make DIY gifts like trays and coasters
• Use as backdrops for photography.

STEPS TO MAKE A MARBLE EPOXY COUNTERTOP:

Step 1: Prep the surface

Step 2: Primer/paint

The goal of the primer and paint is to create a solid colour underneath the epoxy to hide the previous colours.

Step 3: Protect the bottom

It is important to protect the bottom of the board/countertop from drips from the epoxy. They can be a beast to clean up.

Step 4: Mix the epoxy

Step 5: Pour the base layer

Pour the base layer of epoxy starting with a zigzag pattern across the surface.

Step 6: Add the marbling

Honestly, this is probably the easiest and hardest part of this project. It is the easiest because it is mistake-proof. It is the hardest because you can just keep messing with it for a long time without stopping.🙂 This is one of our favourite steps in the such a project!
