Excellent product!

I bought this epoxy to finish a bar top I plan to use on a covered, outside bar once Spring arrives. This was my first experience with an epoxy such as this and some of the previous reviews had me a little nervous, but I didn't run into any issues and I'm happy with the results. I poured the resin in a basement that was ~60 degrees and had no problems with applying it or with it curing. If you are working in a cool environment I'd recommend warming up the bottles of epoxy a little before mixing as it makes the mixing process much easier. Overall I am very happy with this product and will definitely be using it again in the future.

Easy to use!

I’ve used this product several times without fail. Very easy to use just be sure to measure correctly and stir stir stir. If you think you’ve stirred enough, scrap the sides with you stir stick and scrap your stir stick and stir stir stir some more. I used this on my art/craft work table I built. The top of the table was painted 3/4” MDF board. This epoxy resin easily allowed me to mix in some colors. I either used simple acrylic craft paint (little goes a long way) or some micro pigment powders, depending on how opaque I wanted the color and even added some glitter in some of the mixtures. I used an old hair dryer to move the colored epoxy around and a torch to get the bubbles out. For one project I did, I felt the epoxy was too thick and I was able to mix in a very small amount of 98% rubbing alcohol to help thin it and didn’t have any problems with curing. Once cured you get an awesome smooth like glass finish. Remember, stir stir stir and stir some more. I LOVE the results I have achieved with this product!

Works well

This product was easy to use and had very little odor. I used it as a final finish on my art projects and also with my resin art. Clear and hard finish.

Easy to Use

Easy to use 1 to 1 ratio. Used for a live edge river table. Wanted to make sure it was strong enough and clear enough. Looks great. Some photos from a test piece attached. When I sanded with 220 grit sand paper, the resin looked very cloudy, but the next coat cleared it up. Tips: 1. Mix thoroughly 2. Use a torch or heat gun for the bubbles a couple of times after you pour it 3. Make sure your project is level 4. Do 2-3 skim/seal coats over wood to seal it 5. Give it enough time to set in a warm enough environment

Love this stuff!

We've been using this epoxy resin to finish an outdoor coffee table and and a bathroom countertop. It takes a little bit to get the techniques down, but the results are amazing. I think it is the cheapest, easiest way to update countertops. We are going to do our biggest project next and do our kitchen counters. We purchased the 2-gallon kit for that. We used Stone Coat Countertops to learn how to do the counters. This epoxy is easy to mix and has a relatively long working time. Definitely do your homework before you start your project, because once you start, you're committed to the process. I would suggest doing some smaller projects, like a coffee table before working on a big, permanent project. If you found this review helpful, please click on the 'yes' below.

Don't panic over instructions

I used this epoxy to cover an 11sq.ft. table filled with approx. 1300 bottle caps. I thoroughly read all instructions, and mixed what I thought was the right amount of product for a seal coat. Turns out I was completely wrong, and once I starting pouring and realized I didn't have enough, I panicked and started eyeballing multiple other batches and mixing rather vigorously and probably not for long enough. I thought for sure I ruined my project. Well, after my horrendous attempt at following the directions meticulously, turns out that my project cured as hard as a rock within the 10 hrs. Next mistake i made: I only bought one of these kits when I needed 2 to completely cover all the bottle caps. I quickly ordered another kit and It was at my door in 2 days (clearly outside of the 10 hour re-coating window). Because at this point I am just throwing caution to wind, I mix both jugs together in their entirety (for like 20 min though) and did one enormous coat. I did not sand or prep the table in any way between the first batch and the second batch 2 days later. Well, my project turned out perfectly smooth, crystal clear, rock hard, with very very few bubbles that no one would ever notice unless they were staring at my table with their face less and 6 inches away from it looking for specifically for flaws. I don't anticipate my guests doing this. I am thrilled with the results, and I don't want all these reviews about "following the directions to a T" scare any beginner epoxiers away. Note: I am NOT recommending you proceed with this product in the same manner I did. Definitely try to follow the directions. I just wanted to provide some insight on my experience that was apparently drastically different than some other reviewers.

Not for countertops: Heat resistant to just 135 degrees

Worked great! However, I made the mistake of not reading the instructions online until after purchasing the product, so here are a few helpful things to know. First and most importantly, it absolutely MUST be used in an environment that will be at least 75 degrees for the full 72 hour curing period. I purchased it in early March so I had to crank my heat up uncomfortably high in order to ensure it set properly. Also, after the product is completely cured, it can only withstand temps up to 135 degrees. This makes it less than ideal for countertops, which is exactly what i purchased it for. There is a different formulation available for sale that can be used for that purpose and it will withstand heat up to 500 degrees. In my case, I need to add a final coat anyway, so i'll just purchase the countertop epoxy to add as a final clear coat on top. Finally, even though both bottles contain roughly half a gallon, you absolutely need to measure them out even if you plan on using the entire contents. Some people had trouble with the mixture setting and I suspect this was the culprit. 3oz of pigment was the perfect amount for one gallon.

This stuff worked amazing on my very first try

This stuff worked amazing on my very first try. I made a large resin table with embedded license plates and it came out spectacular. READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START AS PAINFUL AS THAT MAY BE. THEY REALLY HELPED ME. A couple tips: 1) My project required 4 gallons of product. (3ft by 3ft, 1/2 inch deep - with plates) I accomplished this in (2) pours, each 4 hours apart 2) I mixed 2 gallons for 7 minutes each time and it came out awesome - don't scrape your mixing sticks when you get to the pouring part because you only want thoroughly mixed product to be poured - not remnants of either part alone that you may get if you scrape 3) POUR PART B IN YOUR MIXING BUCKET BEFORE PART A - MIXING WILL BE SO MUCH EASIER

Pro results as long as you do it right..

Level your project on a waist-high surface with blocks under, project should not have and holes or gaps. Mix epoxy at a 1/1 ratio, be extra carefull about this. Stir well for 5-10 min, but dont whip, should turn completely clear like water, bubbles are okay. Pour evenly back and forth. Spread entire top quickly with a notched plastic 4" putty spreader, I made my own triangle notches with scissors. Use the container to catch edge drips. Use a nylon brush for the sides. Light a butane torch and move quickly popping the bubbles, not too close. Repeat this every 10 mins for 1 hour. Scrape epoxy from under edges and apply to any areas that may lose some from leveling. Let dry 12-16 hours. It will be crystal clear like water and hard like nail polish. Looks professional. Remember, MIX as PERFECT as you can 1/1, and stir very very well. My only complaint is that its over priced and not a lot of room for error.
