Amazing....so easy to apply to your benchtop and the results are just perfect 👌 highly recommend and great service

This is the second time I have applied this to the same bench with the first time lasting more than 6 years of Normal kitchen use. Worked like a dream again! I actually applied a 3rd top coat to give even more protection and a smoother finish. Thoroughly recommend as a great value for money alternative to full bench top replacement . Take your time to do a thorough prep to ensure good bond and spreading out the stones coat so you get a nice even spread of the stones. Recommend an extra day to get best results

Great product! So happy with the results

After watching all the videos and reading literally hundreds of reviews, I had my old sink removed and proceeded to cover 64sq ft of red laminate countertops with Mantlestone. I am very pleased with the results. Hardest part was getting the flecks even. It just didn't look right after second coat, so I had two glasses of wine and did a third coat. Much better! I splotched it on with the brush to get flecks where I wanted them, then lightly rolled to even it out. I did a LOT more sanding to the stone coat than is in the instructions, both by hand and with an orbital sander. It took me the better part of a day to do just the sanding, but I'm pretty picky and wanted a very smooth finish. This required a lot more sandpaper than comes in the kit, of course, but that's a minor expense. I finished with 220 grit sandpaper. I was a little concerned about the color but reserved judgement until after the first top coat. At that point, I realized the color didn't match the Mantlestone sample I got from Daich; it was more towards a blue grey than the brownish grey of the sample. Since I was trying to match a new quartz composite sink, I wanted to correct the color. My local paint dealer sold me a small amount of orange pigment, and I added a couple drops at a time to the topcoat until I got the desired effect. It was just enough orange to kill the blue tones, and now my counters exactly match the sample and my new sink. I did a total of five coats, and will probably recoat in a year as other reviewers have suggested. I would absolutely do this again, and the bathroom counters are probably next. I've done a lot of painting, and Daich's products are really nice to work with. Cleanup is a breeze.

2 years later and my countertops still look as day 1 after refinishing. It’s the best interior upgrade decision I ever made. All visitors compliment my kitchen and I’m always beaming with pride because I made it with my own hands 🙂
Do not hesitate!

The countertops in our older home were looking a little dated so I shopped around and was shocked by what a new counter would cost. I decided to go with the cheapest option (formica) because I didn’t want to sink $5000 or more into this project. I found SpreadStone online and decided to give it a try. Application was quite easy and straight-forward and I was extremely pleased with the results. With the money I saved by refinishing the countertops myself with Daich, I took a trip to Germany. That was in 2016 and the SpreadStone has definitely stood the test of time. I’ve experienced a tiny amount of cracking in one spot and oil from a candle reacted and removed a small spot of the coating. Other than that, the countertops look as good as they did 8 years ago. I did recently add another coat of clear gloss on the areas that we use the most. In addition, I used the left over product to finish several countertops I built for our camping adventures. I am very satisfied with SpreadStone and would recommend this fantastic product.

5 years in and our countertops still look great! I’ve had to retouch a few spots from water damage and dropping cans. I wouldn’t change my decision. Love this product!

Resurfaced a pebbled burgundy counter top with oyster and it turned out beautiful. Applied 3 coats of the clear finish and I recommend redoing it once a year to maintain the look, as lots left over. Only step I overlooked was not pulling up my sink to apply under edging so now I have to put clear silicon around sink so the water won’t lift the edges. Scrubbed the old counter with metal scrubbie and you would not believe how much ground in yuck came up…but was spotless and product went on fabulous!

Love this product! So easy. Just follow the directions, be patient and I recommend when sanding going from 80 to 220 sandpaper for a super smooth surface. And a sander.

I have done my counter tops and my mother in laws counter tops. Easy to do and customer service has been great. I can only say WoW they look great and holding up awesome.

This totally transformed my kitchen! I love it! Wish I knew about this sooner!

I found this product online and ordered it through Home Depot. I’m using volcanic black for my kitchen countertops which were originally wood grain Formica 1970. Like everyone else on this thread I was a bit nervous at first. I read the instructions 20 times and watch the video 20 times. At every step along the way I re-watched the video and reread the instructions. Take your time. Patience is a virtue. I absolutely love The transformation in my kitchen. At one point I did have a question and I emailed Daich coatings even though it was on the weekend and they answered me within 24 hours. Make sure you cover your floors. Make sure you cover your cabinets. And keep a clean up cloth close to you. Use the blue painters tape and apply it very precisely. And after the job is finished and cured, take the painters tape off very slowly and use a razor blade to keep the line crisp.

Absolutely love the way my counters turned out, and it was really easy! Only feedback/reminder to others is that the second stone coat needs to cure 24 hours before the first top coat is applied…and probably before it’s sanded too, and that’s not super clear in the instructions (24 hours is only mentioned in the top coat section; not with the stone coat instructions).
