Description
This fun Epoxy Marble Effect Countertop project was created by maker and TotalBoat Ambassador, Lana Gonzalez, of glacierbuilt.com. You supply the countertop – it can be a top you’ve fabricated from wood, or a tired old Corian®, Formica®, laminate, ceramic tile, butcher block, cultured marble, or traditional granite countertop that needs a new look. You’ll be pleased and amazed at the beautiful results you’ll get in just 1 day with our TotalBoat TableTop epoxy, a handful of select marbling pigments, and a little attention to timing. Once you learn this simple technique to create the large expanses of white, the gray feathering, and the sinewy black veins that are the distinguishing features of classic white Carrara Italian marble, you’ll want to use it on kitchen islands, bathroom counters, serving trays, and more!
Available in 4 Kit sizes for small and large projects: 2-Quart Kit, Gallon Kit, 2-Gallon Kit (NEW!), and 4-Gallon Kit (NEW!)
