Redwood Kitchen Counters Refinished, Clear Epoxy

This refinish actually happened in Nov-Dec’20 but I finally got to do my polish pass and finish shots a year later, just a couple weeks ago.

Didn’t build the counters but I like the look and I’m all inspired to build something like this for somebody, ideas for a few upgrades here and there…

This job was fun and presented some unique challenges that were altogether a great opportunity to show off some of my boat tricks.

Not a full strip, just heavy prep and a wood flour + resin fill pass, some precision caulking…before my standard 3 pours.

Polish pass really made this one pop.

Recent job that represents a major expansion of my purview to include resin floor finishes.

Very excited about what's going to be possible with my integrated selection of services to the bar and restaurant industries.

Steel cup wheel strip and SpeedCove base board install throughout, followed by patch and bodywork, precision caulking…

Finish is 2 coats pigmented Kretus Top Shelf epoxy, with 2 coats Kretus Polyaspartic clear plus matting agent and 70 grit glass bead non-skid in the final topcoat mix.

Lots of hard work for a dramatic transformation overall.

Good looking results that will last for years.

We still have work to do on the casing and, since this was shot upon install..., the outside molding has been refinished and installed too (but no shot of that yet).

Kind of a sloppy delivery...Wanted to wait and share fully complete with fully done finish shots.

But this is what we’ve got so far.
