Interesting, would hardie backer board be a decent choice for shower walls? Eliminate the fiber glass mesh. Looks simple, but there are multiple steps involved, along with some artistic eyes. It would seem to take all weekend. Wild but waterproof.

What's up guys?!?!?! Great video. I have an epoxy artistry business myself. I learned the trade watching Mike and your videos. I've completed 4 shower kits now, which have turned out beautifully. With that being said, a couple things that I do differently that I would love to hear your input on is 1. I only use half inch foam board instead of 1 inch, and 2. I also don't use any mesh. I haven't had any failure in any of the projects yet, but that doesnt mean I'm not doomed for future failure. Can you guys explain why my method might not work in relation to yours? Thanks a bunch 🌴🌴🌴

In our most recent video, we actually didn’t use the fiber mesh and Quick Coat layer due to time constraints and didn’t have any issues. However, we do recommend and will ourselves, use the mesh in the future for added structural integrity on the foam. It’s ok to use the 1/2 in foam unless you’re doing large panels with seams. I feel the 1/2 in. wouldn’t give you the support you need while transporting or installation. But that’s just our opinion. If it’s working for you, by all means, continue forward. 😊😊😊

We seam them together. We tape the backside of the seam then flip it over, apply the mesh and then the first coat of epoxy. The epoxy flowed between the two pieces and bonds. We’ve had excellent results using this technique 😊

Is there a possibility to spray (maybe a 3M spray) down on the foam to make sure the mesh is good and flat (adhere) to the foam before pouring on it? I want to make sure there is no air pockets.
@RK3Designs
Жыл бұрын
We’ve actually tweaked our application method by pouring the quick coat first then laying the mesh down and squeegeeing it down. This will help with air pockets. Also, it’s not necessary for the mesh to be completely leveled since you’ll be able to sand once the quick coat is set up.

Is your thickener colloidal silica, microbeads or microfibres? What is the purpose of the thickener? What is the purpose of the fiberglass mesh, is it just to strengthen the panel? What about fiberglass cloth for the same purpose?
@RK3Designs
2 жыл бұрын
Yes the thickener is the silica. When the epoxy is thickened up, it’s easier to trowel over the mesh and also it won’t run over the edge as easily. The mesh gives more structural integrity to the foam.

I want to be sure I did not misunderstand this, but it is the insulated foam board that is used is the substrate for the epoxy finish? If so, does the applied epoxy end up making it so hard that it loses the sponginess of the foam and transpose it into something as hard as green board?
@RK3Designs

Yes. It is the insulation foam board you can purchase at Home Depot. I’m sure Lowes had as well. Once the fiberglass mesh is applied and the epoxy is cure, it is very hard and durable.

Does the epoxy yellow after a few months? Can you clean soap scum off the epoxy without damage?Do people really do this, or is this just a fad? What's the resale value vs. real stone?
@RK3Designs
20 күн бұрын
This is definitely not a fad. We done 100’s of countertops and showers. We offer a very durable and lasting product. Yellowing in a few months is due to using a low quality resin or additives. All epoxy will amber over time, but a high quality resin and proper application will ensure the product will look good for years. We have showers that are 8 years old and look amazing. We set expectations regarding ambering to our customer when using white. When doing earth toned or darker colors, ambering is never an issue. If you have any specific questions I would be more than happy to chat, just give us a call. www.RK3Designs.com

On new construction like that is it neccesary to sheetrock the shower walls first or can the foam board just be attached to the studs? Does there need to be a waterproof membrane of some sort between studs/sheetrock and foam? We are building a house ourselfs and plan to have a shower and tub/shower combo so can design walls however we want.

You need to prep the walls as if you’re applying tile. So yes, it needs to be waterproof. Also if you just attach the foam to the studs, it will be wavy.
