White Marble Epoxy Counter Top | Is an Epoxy Surface Worth it?🤷🏼‍♂️

Today we are going to show you how to a White Marble Epoxy a Counter to complete our double vanity we built a few weeks back. It is a lot of steps but it is really easier than you might think! Is an epoxy surface worth it compared to laminate?

We started with a double layer of 3/4" MDF that we laminated together to get a thick, stable counter top. We then primed with white primer, poured a seal coat of tinted white epoxy and let that cure. Then followed up with another thicker layer of white epoxy and added black fissure lines by hand using some black tinted epoxy, after the resin had set up enough to be stable but not flow off the counter we removed the tap from the edges so that the white and black epoxy would spill over the edge.
We cleaned up the drip marks, flipped the counter over and poured a seal coat of epoxy on the bottom of the counter. Once the bottom throughouly cured we flipped the counter back over to pour a clear layer of epoxy on the top of the counter to seal the entire piece,
Add the faucets and install! Looks great and has been holding up perfectly for about 5 weeks so far now.
Is epoxy easier, or cheaper than laminate, no but you can make things you cannot by and while the process is a lot of steps it is not difficult and pretty fun! Many people comment on the counter, it catches your eye.
