Stone Coat CountertopsTemplate Material (20 Strips) – Create Custom Templates for Counters, Showers, Cabinets, and Tables! Great for DIY Epoxy Resin Projects! ()

Makes a very easy to make template that stays together. Project complete and did its job with off center walls. Well worth the money doing it right the first time.

First, I have worked with acetone and plastics/fiberglass for 40+ years so I'm no rookie and with the acetone I have always used for other projects (100%), it would not stick this together. If I poured acetone on the strip it wouldn't dissolve it at all. If I soaked a small piece in the acetone, it doesn't dissolve or even become tacky. It does become brittle and snaps when bent though. For those that said they couldn't get the tape residue off (mine had it on the outer most piece) of the strips, use acetone, it removes the goo and doesn't harm the strip. Mine relaxed pretty well after it was uncoiled but will have to hold it flat once I figure out how to stick it together. I watched the video where they spritzed it with acetone and it instantly stuck together; this can't be the same product. I do not recommend this product.

My countertop fabricator expected me to create the template for my vanity countertop. So I watched some videos on templating and ordered these strips. The product is great! I used an eyedropper to apply the acetone, which needs to be 100% acetone and not just nail polish remover. A little pressure created a very quick and firm bond. It's super easy to cut--just a little scoring with a razor knife and then snap. There were vastly more templating strips than I needed, but that meant I could do a trial run (and find out just how fast and permanent the bond between pieces is). The template was easy to transport in my small car, and the final countertop fit perfectly.

4 stars only because the ends curl up due to strips being rolled for shipment.I repurposed an empty eye drop container to dispense the Acetone. It only takes a drop or two to join two pieces.2 Lessons Learned Quickly.Make Sure Your Acetone is not old.Acetone will loose it’s potency and if old, not activate the material to create a bond.DO NOT flex the material at a point where you have just put Acetone. Let the joint set else the piece will snap very easily. Once set, I had no issues.

Super coiled and warped at the smallest size - really bent. It won't flatten even if left overnight.This is what I did to troubleshoot to 'not sticking' issue:1. Increased room temperature to 80F; 2. Got a new bottle of 100% acetone; 3. Tried different sides of the tape thinking that maybe there's a 'side'. 4. Left heavy objects on the 'glued' pieces to try and make them stick. 5. Cleaned with cloth all areas to be joined as mine was very dusty when I got it.Such a waste of money and time. Nothing worked. Stone Coat....not sure what's wrong but it makes me doubt your other products that I was going to buy to pour my epoxy counter. Maybe that's why there are no reviews for this on their website AND for their epoxy...they have 6 reviews!Nice on-line presence, but I think you're a mirage.
