About Counter Culture DIY
From the founders desk - Barry Brown
Counter Culture DIY started in my garage about ten years ago. Back then, it was just me, a bunch of half-finished projects, and a lot of trial and error. I spent countless nights testing formulas, making messes, and figuring out what actually worked for artists and makers like me.
I remember how frustrating it was waiting days for epoxy to cure, or worse, having a project ruined over one small mistake. That frustration pushed me to find a better way, and that’s how Fast Set Epoxy came to life. Suddenly, creators could finish in hours instead of days.
But we didn’t stop there. I wanted to fix the next big challenge, how to save a piece when something goes wrong. That’s when Quick Coat was born.
Today, Counter Culture DIY is still driven by that same spirit of experimentation and creativity. We like to think that we're not just making products, instead we’re creating tools that help artists turn ideas into something real and uniquely theirs.
