De-gloss with a very fine #300 grit sandpaper, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. For unsealed wood, apply a good, water-based wood primer before applying the Primer. Apply the wood primer with a foam roller for smooth finishes because thicker nap rollers will leave a textured finish. Continue with standard prep instructions.
** For granite and concrete that are fully cured, clean the surface with xylene or lacquer thinner, and then wipe-up with rubbing alcohol before applying the Primer.
Follow with standard prep instructions. Please note, xylene and lacquer thinner are very flammable!
DO NOT use Gianni Marble on tubs, flooring, or shower doors/floors. DO NOT use Gianni Marble if any paint or epoxy appears frozen or damaged. You MUST measure your counters before applying Gianni. DO NOT use a single kit on a surface larger than 35 sq. feet.
SURFACE PREP WORK:
| Remove any silicone or acrylic caulk from your countertop and attached
backsplash. Carefully trim the adhesive away with a box cutter or knife, and
peel the remainder from the seam.
Note: Clean up caulk residue with rubbing alcohol.
---|---
| Use a scouring pad, such as an SOS® or Brillo® pad, to remove grease and
dirt. DO NOT use any other cleaners. Rinse with water, at least twice, to
remove all residue.
Note: Refer to the CAN BE USED ON section of this guide for surface prep
instructions as some countertops may require additional steps.
| Patch deep nicks and seams with wood filler.
Gianni will cover up thin, shallow scratches. Once dry, sand the wood patch
smooth with #300 grit sandpaper. Wipe up the dust with a damp cloth.
Gianni will level shallow textured surfaces due to its thickness and self-
leveling properties.
|
Apply Painter’s Tape, such as Frog® Tape, in the following areas for easy
clean up, protection of surrounding surfaces, and proper material adhesion:
• Above your backsplash to protect walls (Note 1)
• Around your sink and fixtures (Note 2)
• Underneath your countertop’s front edge (Note 3)
Note 1: Apply at least 2 layers of tape directly to your backsplash or walls. If you have an attached backsplash, use the painter’s tape to protect the walls above them from contact with the kit materials. You will be able to remove any accidental exposure to them when they are wet, but it is much more difficult to clean up when fully cured.
Note 2: For vanities with a one-piece countertop and sink, see the section titled, ONE-PIECE SINKS & VANITIES, in these instructions. If your vanity has a sink that is installed independently from the countertop, or if you’re using the Gianni Small Project Kit on a small kitchen countertop, apply painter’s tape around the edges of the sink to protect it from accidental contact with the kit materials. Also tape around the base of your faucet and water supply handles with painter’s tape. Thoroughly taping these surfaces will prevent the primer and Mineral Colors from adhering to the fixtures.
Note 3: Apply painter’s tape under the front edge of your countertop, over the top of your drawers and cabinets. This will protect your cabinets from accidental contact with the kit materials. Both the primer and minerals will wash off with mild soap and water in the event of drips or spills, just make sure to clean them before they dry onto the surface.
ONE-PIECE SINKS & VANITIES:
Giana Small Project Kits CAN be used in a sink bowl. If you are transforming
your one-piece sink and vanity, please follow the steps below to ready it for
the application:
Tape around the base of your faucet, water supply handles, and cover your
popup drain and flange with painter’s tape. Thoroughly taping these surfaces
will prevent the primer, mineral colors, and the topcoat from adhering to the
fixtures. IMPORTANT: When taping around the faucet, handles, and drain flange,
leave approximately 1/16” exposed. This will allow the epoxy to fill and seal
the natural gap between the surface of the countertop, sink and fixtures.
Lightly delos the entire vanity and bowl with #300 grit sandpaper. This will
slightly rough up the surface for better adhesion of the Gianni primer. Wipe
up the sanding dust with a damp cloth and allow the surface to dry.
You may paint your sink by either sponging the mineral colors in the bowl to
create a seamless pattern, choose a single mineral color to coat the inside,
or leave it the existing color. If you choose the single or existing color
option, create a “granite edge” by applying painter’s tape about an inch below
the top of the sink’s bowl. This will be the stopping point. Then apply the
desired mineral color to the remainder of the bowl, or move on to the next
step.
STEP 1: ROLL ON PRIMER
| After shaking the Iron Core Primer can well, pour half of the contents into
your painter’s tray. Use the Foam Brush to paint a narrow strip of primer at
the bottom and top of your backsplash.
Continue using the Foam Brush to cut in around the corners and edges, and use
the fabric roller to fill in the rest. Edge in 2-foot sections at a time and
then immediately roll that section so your brush strokes blend in with the
rolled areas.
Move onto the next 2-foot section, blending it with the previous section while
both are still wet. Repeat until the entire countertop is covered. Make sure
to work quickly so as not to create lap lines.
---|---
| Wait 8 hours for the primer to dry before moving on to Step 2. Clean your
foam brush to reuse and dispose of the roller cover. If you notice that you
missed a large spot after finishing the primer, first allow the countertops
and sink to dry before attempting touch-ups with your foam brush. Allow
another two hours of dry time before applying the mineral colors. Note:
After drying, if the primer is thin or spotty, don’t worry, sponging on the
mineral colors will cover a significant portion of the surface of your
countertops, creating depth and texture. Very small missed spots in the primer
will not be visible once your application is complete.
STEP 2: SPONGE ON MINERALS
Practice the Mineral Colors application on your kit’s Black Practice Sheet
before painting on your countertop.
| Stir well, and pour small amounts of each Mineral Color onto separate paper
plates. Cut the Sponge into 4 equal pieces. Pick off any loose bits before
dipping each piece into the Minerals, to prevent debris in your application.
Dip the textured side of the Sponge into Mineral No. 2a and dab off the excess
on a clean paper plate. Working in small, 2-foot sections once again, dab
Mineral No. 2a lightly onto your counter creating a nice imprint of the
sponge. If you get a “paint blob,’ you are pushing down too hard. Let some of
the black primer show through underneath, but be sure to have each imprint
overlap one another. Use another piece of sponge to apply No. 2b over the top
of No. 2a, following the same overlapping technique. Repeat again with No. 2c.
Move onto the 2-foot section right next to the section you just completed,
following the same application method as above, overlapping and blending as
you sponge.
---|---
| IMPORTANT: For the White Diamond and Sicilian Sand Kits, allow each
Mineral Color to dry before applying the next.
The Minerals in these kits tend to mix together and muddy when layered while
wet.
In order to better coat the top and bottom of your attached backsplash, cut a
small piece of sponge and attach it to the end of a pencil.
TIP: Use a small, stiff artist brush to get into the crease of the
backsplash, and fine-tune the blending of your sponged areas.
| Once you’ve completed Step 2 on your countertop, take a step back and see if
any adjustments need to be made. You may go back in and add more of the
mineral colors even after it has dried. Allow 4 hours of dry time after
applying the mineral colors before applying
the Ultra Epoxy Resin Topcoat.
CHOCOLATE BROWN & SLATE TIPS: While working in 2-foot sections, and
immediately after No. 2c has been applied, use the 4th piece of sponge to dry
sponge and blend the colors. For Chocolate Brown, tap very lightly over the
section to knock down and blend some of the red showing through in the brown.
For Slate, push down with more pressure to blend all three colors together.
This is a personal preference, as some may like it more blended than others.
| BOMBAY BLACK TIP: Be sure to stir both the Pearl Mica and Bronze
Minerals well. Each color has metallic flakes that may settle in the bottom of
the can. Apply the Bronze sparingly, as a little goes a long way.
WHITE DIAMOND TIP: For a brighter look, repeat an additional one to two
layers of No. 2c. We recommend waiting until your countertop is dry to the
touch before adding layers.
A GUIDE TO LAYERED SPONGING:
For best results, follow this guide for each Mineral Color application.

STEP 3: POUR & ROLL EPOXY TOPCOAT
STOP! Did you measure your counters? Extending the epoxy beyond 35 sq. feet
will result in imperfections and void the warranty.
APPLYING GIANI EPOXY RESIN TOPCOAT IS TIME SENSITIVE. Read all instructions
carefully and watch the application videos on our website before beginning
this step. Also, please review the included Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to
use.
If you’re applying the Epoxy Resin Topcoat over an existing Gianni High-Gloss
or Glitter Topcoat finish, then it must be fully cured for 14 days prior to
using the epoxy. If you have any blemishes in your current finish, repair them
before applying the epoxy.
PREP WORK.
|
Minimize the movement of air within your workspace to keep dust, lint, and
other
contaminants from falling into the epoxy.
• Close windows and exterior doors
• Turn off all fans
• Close floor and ceiling HVAC vents
---|---
| Restrict access to your workspace. Make sure to keep the area free of pets
and children to minimize accidental contact with the epoxy.
TIP: Post signs around your workspace announcing that your countertop is
wet and should not be used until the surface has cured for at least 48 hours.
| If you are applying Giani Granite on a small kitchen countertop, use
painter’s tape to create “dams” on the edge of your countertops that are next
to appliances. Firmly press the sticky side of the tape against the edge of
the countertop with about a half-inch of the adhesive side sticking up. This
will protect appliances from contact with the epoxy.
| Use the included plastic tarps to cover your cabinets, floors, appliances,
independently installed sink, faucets, and fixtures. Use small pieces of tape
to hold the tarps in place, and run long strips of tape along the underside of
your countertop. This will protect against kit materials that, when hardened,
could leave a rough edge.
MIXING THE COMPONENTS:
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CURING: Once the Epoxy Resin Topcoat components have
been mixed, the reaction cannot be stopped.
The topcoat comes as a set. The set contains 2 cans: one can of Activator and
one can of Resin. The amounts are designed so that the contents of the Epoxy
Activator will fit perfectly into the Epoxy Resin can. The set is provided to
give plenty of time to apply the mixture to a countertop that is 12 square
feet (6 liner feet). Failure to empty all of the Activator into the Resin will
prevent the finished application from completely curing. The surface of your
countertop will remain tacky and need to be stripped.
HEALTH & SAFETY – The Giani Epoxy Activator contains corrosive material: Isophoronediamine. Wash hands after use. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapors or mists. Use good personal hygiene practices. Eating, drinking, and smoking in work areas is prohibited. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Eyewash stations and showers should be available in areas where this material is used and stored. Individuals with existing respiratory disease such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma should not be exposed. Wear appropriate clothing to avoid skin contact to the epoxy during your application.
| With your safety glasses and gloves on, open the contents of the Epoxy Resin
Topcoat.
Pour the ENTIRE can of the Epoxy Activator into the can of Epoxy Resin. Check
to make sure you empty all of the contents of the Activator. If the mixture is
incorrect, it can prevent the topcoat from curing properly.
TIP: Discard the empty Epoxy Activator can so that you only have the
Resin container in your work area, and so that you are not tempted to use it
as a holder for your roller. See the EPOXY DISPOSAL section of this guide.
---|---
| Wipe a stir stick with your bare hand to remove any wood dust before mixing
the components. Tiny dust particles can cause small imperfections in the cured
finish. Then, using the same stick, stir the epoxy mixture for 3 minutes and
30 seconds. Stir vigorously, scraping the sides and bottom to mix thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: Time the mixing EXACTLY. If the combined Activator and Resin
are under-mixed it will prevent the finished application from completely
curing, or take longer than normal to fully cure.
EPOXY APPLICATION:
|
AFTER MIXING THE COMPONENTS, YOU HAVE ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO COMPLETELY COAT YOUR
COUNTERTOP before it stops flowing adequately. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes
to coat 6 linear feet.
Slowly pour the entire mixture onto your countertop. It helps to pour the
mixture in 3 streams to make sure you ll have even coverage. Start by pouring
one stream at the base of your backsplash, one in the center of your
countertops, and one close to the edge. You’ll want to pour out the contents
onto your countertop immediately after mixing because the epoxy’s hardening
rate will accelerate when left in the can.
---|---
| Use the included 2” Angle Brush and transfer some of the Epoxy mixture to
your attached backsplash, gently coating it as you brush along your
countertop. Lightly brush back across the length of the backsplash once or
twice to minimize the possibility of runs and bare spots. Then, use the brush
to coat the epoxy around the perimeter, as well as along the bottom of the
backsplash. This will make filling in the surface easier. Brush out the epoxy
a little from the backsplash crease because the epoxy can pool there.
| Next, use your kit’s Foam Roller to slowly and evenly distribute the epoxy
over the surface of your countertop. Since the epoxy is self-leveling, try not
to overwork your application. It helps to hold the roller handle gently
between your fingers and thumb, and lightly roll the epoxy over your
countertops. This will keep you from gripping the handle too tightly, and
applying too much pressure to the roller. Too much pressure can spread the
mixture too thin and cause defects in the cured finish. To make sure they’re
fully coated, lightly roll the edge of your counters. It’s okay if the epoxy
runs onto the tarps – you want a good layer of epoxy on your edges since they
tend to experience the most amount of wear and friction, especially around the
sink area. NOTE: A small amount of epoxy may continue to drip off the
front edge of your countertop for a short while as it self-levels; typically
about 30 to 60 minutes.
|
Directly after rolling the Epoxy mixture onto the surface of your countertop,
coat your sink bowl with the 2” Angled Brush. Starting at the top of the bowl,
slowly brush the epoxy around the bowl’s entire circumference in successive,
overlapping rows as you work your way toward the drain. If you start to notice
drips or runs down the sides of your sink, use the excess epoxy to continue to
coat the bowl as you move down. If the epoxy starts to pool at the base of the
sink, lightly brush the mixture around the bowl.
If you have an independently installed sink, use the proportionate amount for
the countertop on one side of the sink and continue on the opposite side of
the sink until the entire mixture has been used.
IMPORTANT: Once you’ve rolled on your topcoat, do NOT add more epoxy
unless you have bare spots. Doing so will result in adding an unbalanced
proportion of the mix onto the new epoxy which creates a blemish.
| Once you re finished applying the Epoxy, grab a bright light and closely
inspect your countertop for bare spots, bubbles, or lint. You’ll have about 40
minutes after applying the epoxy to correct any flaws. To fix a small bare
spot, use the 2” Brush to drizzle a little epoxy onto the spot and dab
lightly.
Most of the trapped air will release on its own within a few minutes of
rolling. However, for the occasional bubble, lint, or dust, use tweezers to
gently pop the bubbles, or pull out the debris. Just make sure not to use the
tweezers after an hour. At this point the epoxy is starting to cure, and doing
so may leave a divot.
NOTE: The Epoxy Topcoat does not require a blow torch or heat gun to release
any excess air because it has been formulated with air release agents.
|
IMPORTANT: Remove the tape precisely between 1 to 2 hours after you’ve
finished applying the epoxy. If you remove the tape earlier, then the epoxy
may continue to self-level onto an appliance, and if you remove the tape
later, then it may create jagged edges and become cemented into the epoxy.
Remove the tape very slowly in order to prevent any debris from falling into
the still-tacky epoxy. You may need a step stool to reach the tape above the
backsplash so that you don’t touch the countertop edge. Be sure to leave any
ceiling fans turned off, and vents and windows closed to prevent dust or lint
from blowing onto the epoxy as it cures. Do NOT attempt to remove any debris
from the epoxy after one hour because removal will create a divot in the final
finish and the epoxy will not fill it back in. If this occurs, the debris can
be
buffed out in the future once the epoxy has filled cured. Wait 48 hours before
applying acrylic caulk or silicone caulk infused with latex or acrylic around
your backsplash and sink.
WHEN CAN I USE MY COUNTERTOP AGAIN?
Once applied, the epoxy will be tack free in 6 to 8 hours. If you used Gianni in a kitchen, you can use your dishwasher after 24 hours. After 48 hours, you may lightly use your counter, but it is recommended to wait the full cure time of 7 days (time it takes for your finish to reach its maximum hardness) before cleaning with anything but mild soap and water or placing heavy objects on it. Food Safety: Once Gianni Epoxy fully cures, it’s completely inert.
EPOXY DISPOSAL:
Dispose of empty product containers properly. Do not use sawdust or other fine cellulose materials to absorb any waste Epoxy Activator. Do not dispose of the Epoxy Activator in the trash containing sawdust or other fine cellulose materials as spontaneous combustion may occur. Do not dispose in a liquid state – the two cans can be mixed and cured in small quantities to create a non-hazardous inert solid. Unused, unmixed Gianni Epoxy Resin and Epoxy Activator have a shelf-life of 1.5 years when stored in the sealed containers.
CAUTION! Large containers of curing Epoxy Topcoat can get hot enough to ignite surrounding combustible materials and give off hazardous fumes. Consequently, place any cans of unused, mixed epoxy in a safe and ventilated area, uncovered, and away from people and combustible materials. The excess mixture will cure and harden into a solid mass. Dispose of the mass only if the cure is complete and has cooled, which typically takes about 8 hours. Follow federal, state, or local disposal regulations. The disposal guidelines above may not comply with the laws and regulations in your area. If you are uncertain, refer to local and national regulations.
CARE & MAINTENANCE:
|
To clean your Gianni Countertops you can use mild dish soap and water,
Giani Countertop Cleaner, Lysol wipes, Windex®, Purell Multi Surface and Mrs.
Meyers. Never use harsh chemicals such as bleach, or any abrasives such as
Comet® or Soft Scrub®. Do not use polishes or granite cleaners. Even diluted
solutions of a cleaner and water will wear down the durability of the finish
over time. Never use harsh, natural cleaners such as vinegar, rubbing alcohol,
hand sanitizer, air freshener oils, or essential oils. Never use scratch pads
or microfiber cloths.
Cutting Boards & Hot Surfaces: Just like with natural marble, it is not
recommended to cut directly on your new Giana Countertops. You need to use a
cutting board for any food prep to avoid scratches. Although Gianni Epoxy is
heat resistant up to 250°F, always use a hot pad or trivet for items directly
from the stove or oven.
---|---
|
Stains: You can remove stains with acetone and a paper towel. You can
also very lightly use a Magic Eraser for stubborn stains. NOTE: extended
use of a Magic Eraser can dull your epoxy overtime. Therefore it is only
recommended to use one if it is absolutely necessary.
UV Rays: If possible, minimize direct, all-day UV contact. All surfaces
will exhibit some UV effect over time; Gianni Marble’s UV effect will be
minimal, however, we recommend minimizing direct UV contact if possible.
Please note: Even if you follow the application instructions perfectly, your
countertops may show signs of wear if you don’t follow these proper care
instructions. With the proper care, Giana Marble will last as long as any
conventional countertop.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
KEEP FROM FREEZING. IF FROZEN, LET THAW.
In the winter, both paint and epoxy are at risk for freezing due to the
cold temperatures they may be exposed to during warehouse storage and
delivery. Frozen paint and epoxy can sometimes be tricky to determine
initially because your cans won’t feel cold to the touch – however, the
contents will exhibit a grainy/slushy texture. But not to worry, the paint and
epoxy will completely recover! We recommend allowing all materials to recover
at room temperature for one week before applying. DO NOT apply kit materials
if they appears clumpy or frozen. Apply at 72°F – 75°F.
FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS
Inhalation: Remove source of exposure or move person to fresh air and keep
comfortable for breathing. If exposed/feel unwell/concerned: Call a POISON
CENTER/doctor.
Skin Contact: Rinse/wash with lukewarm, gently flowing water and mild
soap for 15-20 minutes or until product is removed. If skin irritation occurs
or you feel unwell: Get medical advice/attention. IF exposed or concerned: Get
medical advice/attention.
Eye Contact: Remove source of exposure or move person to fresh air. Rinse
eyes cautiously with lukewarm, gently flowing water for several minutes, while
holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing for a duration of 15-20 minutes. Take care not to rinse
contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto the face. If eye irritation
persists: Get medical advice/attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Immediately call a POISON
CENTER/doctor. If vomiting occurs naturally, lie on your side, in the recovery
position. Give 3 or 4 glasses of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Eye Protection: Wear eye protection with side shields or goggles. Wear
indirect-vent, impact and splash resistant goggles when working with liquids.
If additional protection is needed for entire face, use in combination with a
face shield.
Skin Protection: Use of gloves approved to relevant standards made from
the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC,
neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is
dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always seek advice
from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Use of an apron
and over- boots of chemically impervious materials such as neoprene or nitrile
rubber is recommended to avoid skin sensitization. The type of protective
equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the
dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Launder soiled clothes or
properly disposed of contaminated material, which cannot be decontaminated.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne
concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker, a respiratory
protection program that meets or is equivalent to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and
ANSI Z88.2 should be followed. Check with respiratory protective equipment
suppliers. In poorly ventilated areas, a cartridge mask NIOSH approved for
organic vapors is recommended under the following conditions emergency
situations, when product vapor concentration is greater than 20 ppm for a
period longer than 15 min., during repair and cleaning of equipment, during
transfer or discharge of the product.
Appropriate Engineering Controls: Provide exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value.
