What You’ll Learn
- Preparation & Priming – cleaning and priming the substrate for a flawless base.
- Tinted Base Coat – pouring a rich neutral tone to mimic natural stone.
- Adding Veins & Texture – layering white and gray pigments to simulate mineral veins.
- Layering for Depth – introducing clear/resin layers to amplify the stone-like depth.

Why It Works
- Realistic stone effect — achieves the visual texture and richness of natural stone.
- Cost-effective and customizable — choose pigment blends to match any aesthetic.
- Perfect for DIY or professionals — great guide for DIYers but equally useful for pros delivering flawless results.
Pro Tips from the Video
- Thorough prep is essential — dust-free, primed surfaces ensure strong bonding.
- Blend with heat control — heat gun usage creates natural transitions, but too much heat can flatten texture.
- Layer gradually — each resin layer adds depth; don’t rush or stack too thick at once.
