Frequently Asked Questions
How much epoxy do I need for a countertop?
For a seal coat, plan for 4 sq ft per mixed ounce. For a flood coat (1/8 inch thick), plan for 1 sq ft per mixed ounce. Most countertops need 2-3 coats total. Add 10% extra for waste and edges.
How many square feet does 1 gallon of epoxy cover?
One gallon of epoxy (128 oz mixed) covers approximately 12-16 square feet at 1/8 inch thickness, or 48-64 square feet as a thin seal coat. Coverage varies by brand and application technique.
What's included in a stone coat epoxy kit?
Typical kits include epoxy resin, hardener, primer, metallic powders or pigments, mixing supplies, and application tools. Some kits include practice materials and detailed instructions.
How thick should epoxy countertops be?
Most epoxy countertops have a total thickness of 1/8 to 1/4 inch over the base substrate. This typically requires 2-3 flood coats, with 24 hours between coats.
Can I apply stone coat epoxy over existing countertops?
Yes, epoxy can be applied over laminate, wood, concrete, and tile countertops with proper preparation. Surfaces must be clean, lightly sanded, and primed for best adhesion.
