Product description

"Choose RTG Bar & Table Top Epoxy to put a head-turning, mirror-like finish on bartops, counters, & tabletops, . It looks wet even after it dries! This easy-to-use, 2-part, pourable resin coating is self-leveling and dries to a super-hard, ultra-clear, high-gloss finish that resists yellowing, scratches, and stains.You can coat a flat surface as is, or get creative! Customize the top by embedding interesting objects beneath the surface, such as bottle caps, sea glass, fishing lures, magnets, or other mementos you want to preserve and display. Start by gluing the objects to the surface (so they don't float), then apply a thin sealer coat of mixed epoxy, followed by subsequent flood coats, up to 1/8"" thick each. This epoxy sets up relatively fast, so you can do multiple thin pours and embed objects in each layer, which makes the objects appear to float.RTG Bar & Table Top Epoxy is very easy to use, especially if it's your first time using an epoxy product. It has a simple, 1:1 mix ratio by volume, and is very easy to pour directly onto the prepared surface. Any bubbles will rise to the surface and pop on their own, or you can remove them easily by waving a heat gun or hair dryer back and forth quickly over the surface. Because this epoxy resin coating has higher heat deflection properties than varnish, you can put hot food and other hot items (up to 125°F) on the cured surface. And its high-build properties mean a single coat is equal in appearance to several coats of expensive varnish. Perfect for DIY craft and furniture projects, basement bars, wood counters, bistro tables in restaurants and beyond.Compare to Pro Marine Supplies Table Top Epoxy, Parks Super Glaze, Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin, ProGlass 1000 and System Three MirrorCoat. RTG Bar & Table Top Epoxy is very easy to use, dries super-clear, sets up quickly, and is a better value. All RTG products provide excellent results and are 100% made in the USA."

• 2-part, waterproof, ultra-clear epoxy resin coating for bar tops, countertops, and table tops.
• Self-leveling formula cures to a tough, smooth, high-gloss finish that's scratch, stain, and impact resistant. Color-stable formula resists yellowing.
• Versatile epoxy resin coating can be used for a wide variety of applications. Customize your bar or table top by embedding objects beneath the crystal clear surface, such as photographs, sea shells, coins, or glitter. For an eye-catching 3-D effect, pour multiple thin layers, embedding objects in each layer.
• Simple 1:1 mix ratio by volume. Compatible with colorants for epoxy resin. Apply to properly prepared wood, stone, concrete, metal, and ceramic surfaces that are horizontal and level. Cured material will not blush like other epoxies, and resists heat better than varnish.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the maximum thickness of this epoxy
Answer:	This epoxy requires thin pours of no more than 1/4" per application. However, multiple layers can be poured. We recommend waiting until the prior layer is tacky to the touch (usually 4-6 hours) to pour an additional layer.
Question:	at a half inch depth how many sq feet does the 2 gallon kit cover
Answer:	We have a coverage calculator on our site. Do you need a seal coat? Will you build a dam? Our general rule of thumb is 12 sq ft. per mixed gallon at 1/8 inch. Do not mix more than 1 gallon at a time and do not pour more than 1/4 inch per application. In your case, a 2 Gallon kit would cover approximately 6 sqft at 0.5 inch. However, do NOT pour more than 1/4 inch per application or you risk an accelerated reaction. Wait until the previous layer is tacky to the touch (usually 4-6 hours depending on temperature) to pour the next layer. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Question:	May i used this for a countertops that have the heat coming from the stove ? Will it hold up
Answer:	This is not a high heat epoxy. We recommend using hot pads/coasters for coffee mugs, hot pans, pots, etc. High heat epoxies are quite a bit more expensive.
Question:	Can't find indication of coverage anywhere. Help. I don't know how much to buy
Answer:	at 1/8 thick it is like 26 gallons for 350 square feet, realy allot more than I would have thought, I learned the hard way too

Product features

Crystal Clear Finish

High gloss, ultra clear finish makes our epoxy perfect for Table Tops, Bars Tops, Coffee Tables, Live Edge Tables and other coating applications. However, epoxy is not flexible. River tables must be supported to prevent flexing which could cause cracking.

*Do not pour over oil-based paint or stain.

Common Question: My project is painted or stained with an oil based product, what can I do?

A: You can apply a water based clear coat (must be water based). Once the water based clear coat has fully cured, you can apply the epoxy. If the clear coat leaves a shine/gloss you may want to scuff the surface to ensure the epoxy properly sticks. We recommend using 320 grit sandpaper. If you do sand, be sure to thoroughly clean the surface prior to applying the epoxy. We recommend using Isopropyl Alcohol 99% (be sure it is 99%) to clean.

UV Resistant

Although most epoxies will yellow over time, some resist yellowing caused by exposure to ultraviolet light better than others. Our epoxy contains UV Inhibitors which helps to resist yellowing. *Although our epoxy is UV resistant, which resists yellowing, we do not recommend leaving finished projects in direct sunlight or for permanent outdoor applications.

Common Question: Can I use this on a table that will be outside on a covered patio?

A: It is possible to leave the epoxy outdoors if not exposed to direct UV exposure. If the epoxy is exposed to direct UV, the epoxy can yellow. This will be more noticeable on white or lightly colored substrates/surface. We recommend exercising caution when considering use over white or light-colored surfaces.

It is also important to consider temperature fluctuations. Materials such as metal and glass can expand and contract at a different rate from the epoxy. This could cause glass to crack or the epoxy to peel away from a metal surface.

Food Safe Epoxy

Properly cured epoxy is possible to be food safe. However, because the customer is mixing/pouring we cannot say this is food safe approved. Each mixture/application would have to be assessed individually. This is not a high heat epoxy. We recommend using hot pads/coasters for coffee mugs, hot pans, pots, etc.

Common Question: Can I use this epoxy to make tumblers?

A: We have many customers using our epoxy for custom tumbler designs. However, this epoxy self levels. Therefore, many customers utilize a "cuptisserie" which is a rotating device that keeps the tumbler rotating while the epoxy is curing so that the finish is even.

Again, keep in mind: Properly cured epoxy is possible to be food safe. However, because the customer is mixing/pouring we cannot say this is food safe approved. Each mixture/application would have to be assessed individually.

Colored Epoxy Compatible

How To Color Epoxy: Our epoxy mixes well with mica pigment powders for colored epoxy applications. River tables, resin art canvas and more may require tinted epoxy. Epoxy is not meant to be mixed with or poured over oil-based products. Do not pour over oil-based paint or stain.

Common Question: What type of pigment or dye should I use with this epoxy.

A: We do not recommend mixing epoxy with paint or anything oil based. Many of our customers use mica pigment powders. Mica pigment powders come in many different colors, glitters, metallics, and even glow in the dark.

Q: How Much Pigment Powder Should I Use?

A: This is a subjective answer as it depends on the certain hue and level of opacity desired. We suggest starting with a very small amount and adding more until the desired color is achieved. We also always suggest testing a small scrap piece of material to understand how the epoxy will flow and how the color will cure in the epoxy.

Easy To Use 1:1 By Volume Mixture

Self Leveling, Impact Resistant, Superior Air Release

Popular uses include wooden bar tops, river tables, embedding pictures or embedding solid objects into a desired surface. Because our epoxy cures crystal clear, multiple layers will not compromise color/transparency. Each poured layer should not exceed 1/4" at a time. Working Time: 25 (+/-5 Minutes)

How Much Epoxy Do I Need?

Our rule of thumb regarding coverage is 12 sqft per mixed gallon at 1/8 inch.

VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS

For Uses On

• Wood
• Concrete
• Bottle Caps
• Artwork
• Canvas

Common Question: Can I apply epoxy over paper products like photographs, cigar wrappers, playing cards, and more?

A: If you wish to apply paper decals, bottle caps, or other objects under the Table Top surface, those objects need to be bonded to the surface with craft glue or a thin layer of Table Top Epoxy. Paper products must be sealed prior to applying any epoxy as the epoxy could soak in and ruin the paper product.

You can use something like mod podge or a similar water based clear coat/glue. Allow this seal coat to dry thoroughly before applying epoxy. For figurines, shells, and other large more three-dimensional items, using a thin epoxy seal coat is best, prior to encapsulating.

HIGH GLOSS FINISH

Epoxy resin leaves durable, blemish resistant, water resistant and impact resistant coating.

The beauty of epoxy is the ability to recoat a surface after years of use to regain a smooth, high gloss finish.

Common Question: I see that your epoxy requires thin pours of no more than 1/4" per application. How long do I need to wait between pouring a new layer?

You can apply the second coat when the prior coat is tacky to the touch (usually 4-6 hours depending on temperature). If you wait longer than 12 hours between coats, we recommend a light sanding. You can use 320 grit to scuff the surface. This will help the next coat to properly stick. If you do sand, be sure to thoroughly clean the surface prior to pouring the flood coat. We recommend using Isopropyl Alcohol 99% (make sure it is 99%) to clean.

TOP QUALITY

Incredible Solutions Table Top Epoxy is proudly MADE IN THE USA.

Competent Knowledge Base helps plan and troubleshoot even the most complicated projects.

Common Question: Does your epoxy require specific temperature environment to mix/pour epoxy?

A: The ideal working temperature is around 77°F. Best results can be obtained at temperatures between 75°F and 85°F, in a clean, dry, dust-free environment. Avoid working in high humidity. It is important you keep your project in this environment throughout the entire curing process. We recommend using this product on a leveled and flat work surface so that it can flow and self-level properly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi would i be able to obtain the product's msds info in order to make sure that it is bpa free
Answer:	I think all manufacturers have to supply the MSDS sheet if requested. I do not know if you could get that from Amazon -- they are just a retailer; but you may be able to contact the distributer or manufacturer via email and make a request. I think I've hear of getting MSDS as a PDF. Hope this helps.
Question:	My order didn’t come with instructions. Does anyone have the mixing instructions
Answer:	http://www.colorcopper.com/content/Epoxy-Instructions.pdf
Question:	will this product work on garage floors with car tires
Answer:	The cost of using it would be prohibitive. Spills from car would interact with the epoxy in a possible bad reaction.
Question:	What is the heat resistance rating of this product
Answer:	The peak resistance after 100% curing is about 135 degrees Fahrenheit which means that you can put hot cups of coffee, bowls, and plates on it. Never put a hot pan or skillet from the stove directly onto the epoxy.

TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy Gallon Kit Creates 12 Square Feet of Crystal Clear Perfection.

TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy is a 2-part, ultra-clear, 100% waterproof, liquid epoxy resin coating for bar tops, counter tops, table tops, furniture, chart tables, galley tables, coasters, DIY arts & crafts projects, and much more. This easy-to-use, pourable resin has a simple 1:1 mix ratio by volume to ensure great results, even if it's your first time working with it. After pouring the mixed resin onto the prepared surface, small bubbles may appear, but they can be popped easily by waving a heat gun back and forth just above the surface. This self-leveling epoxy spreads out evenly as it cures. After it dries clear & glossy, it looks so wet, people are afraid to touch it!

TableTop is also thicker, clearer & easier to use than varnish—and a lot more heat resistant. It creates the same thick, glossy, super-clear coating you see on restaurant bar and table tops. Plus its high viscosity and high-build properties mean a single coat is equal in appearance to several coats of expensive varnish.

Customize your top by embedding objects beneath the surface.

Clear coat a flat surface as is, or be creative & embed interesting objects beneath the crystal clear coating. Preserve & display photos, bottle caps, magnets, charms, & other cherished trinkets on your custom top. For a striking 3-D effect that makes objects seem to float beneath the surface, pour multiple 1/8" flood coats (waiting 4-8 hours between each coat), and embed objects in each layer.

Is cured TableTop food safe?

TotalBoat TableTop contains no harmful VOCs, which means a safer work environment when mixing, pouring, stirring & spreading, but be sure to wear proper gloves and have adequate ventilation.

TableTop is also BPA-free, so once cured, it's more suitable for contact with food. That said, we don't recommend using epoxy for a cutting board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the coverage for TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy?

A: At 1/8” thickness: 6 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Quart Kit; 12 sq. ft. per mixed Gallon Kit; 24 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Gallon Kit. At ¼” thickness: 3 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Quart Kit; 6 sq. ft. per mixed Gallon Kit; 12 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Gallon Kit.

Q: Why do I need multiple coats? Won’t one thick coat do the trick?

A: Multiple thin layers give you a sealer/leveling coat and as much build as you would like without the high risk for errors, bubbles, or a wavy surface.

Q: Can I use it on my bar top outside?

A: You can, but it will be exposed to UV rays that can make it look amber or delaminate over time, depending on substrate. You’ll want to overcoat it with a quality UV-filtering varnish.

Prepare the surface

• To contain the liquid epoxy, apply plastic packing tape (as it can be removed easily) around the edges of the table.
• Delicate objects such as photos or maps can be damaged by epoxy. Coat them first with an alternate clear coat (polyurethane or acrylic sealers are recommended) before applying TableTop Epoxy.
• Combine the epoxy resin (Part A) and hardener (Part B) at the specified, simple mix ratio of 1 to 1 by volume, and mix for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to another mixing cup and keep stirring until the mixture is blended thoroughly.
• To begin, use a brush to apply a very thin sealer coat of TableTop Epoxy to the table top or bar top to seal porous surfaces. This includes applying a thin sealer coat to any objects that will be embedded. If you skip this step, the porous surface or embedded objects will release large air bubbles that can ruin your project.

Pour the mixed epoxy

• Once the sealer coat has set, apply a flood coat.
• Pour less epoxy into any narrower areas, and more epoxy into wider, more open areas.
• Each flood coat should be no more than 1/8” thick.
• You can pour multiple flood coats (waiting at least 4 hours in between each coat) until you achieve the desired thickness. Tip: Multiple pours are recommended. Do not attempt one thick flood coat because air bubbles will get trapped beneath the surface, and the excess heat generated by a thick pour will distort the surface itself. The epoxy will not self level or cure properly.

Spread evenly

• Flood coats will flow and self level, but tools such as brushes, plastic spreaders, and squeegees may be used to help spread the mixed epoxy resin evenly across the surface.
• If you like, you can embed objects such as shells or bottle caps at this stage. You can also embed objects in subsequent flood coats in order to make the objects appear to float beneath the surface.

Remove surface bubbles

• A few minutes after the flood coat is applied, bubbles will rise to the surface. To pop the bubbles, use a heat gun (or butane torch) on low power, hold it six inches above the surface of the epoxy resin, and slowly sweep the heat gun back and forth over the surface, until the bubbles disappear. It's very important to wave the heat gun around and keep it moving, so you don't burn or singe embedded objects.
• TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy can usually be recoated in 4-8 hours without any additional prep work or sanding.
• If the previous layer is allowed to dry completely, the surface should be scuff-sanded with 220-320 grit sandpaper, for optimal adhesion between coats. After sanding, wipe the surface with a solvent such as acetone or denatured alcohol to remove dust and other contaminants. Allow the surface to dry before applying the next 1/8" flood coat.
• For any areas that have blemishes, sand with 80-grit sandpaper, before applying a final coat.

Coffee table with embedded pennies

"Great product. Exactly what I needed to finish my penny coffee table project." - Vince, via Amazon Reviews

Dining table with embedded decal

"My wife wanted a custom dining table with an embedded Compass Rose decal. I did a seal coat, then the first flood coat of TableTop Epoxy. I applied the Compass Rose decal on top of the first flood coat because I wanted the decal to be raised above the wood surface. Waited four hours, then did a second 1/8" pour of TableTop Epoxy. I beveled the edges and the table is beautiful. All my neighbors want me to make one for them!" - Joe O., TotalBoat store customer

Boat table with embedded objects

"This stuff is awesome. Use a small heat gun to quickly pop any bubbles. We used this for a boat table with a map, compass, micrometer, anchor trinket, and a silver dollar "trapped" in the clear epoxy. One tip: order extra. A whole gallon did not cover the galley table more than a quarter inch. I wish I had bought two gallons because you can recoat between four to eight hours without any prep or sanding. Highly recommend!" - Brendan Keefe, via Amazon Reviews

User questions & answers

Question:	Putting 3/4 of an inch down. Do i need to prep different layers. Gonna do it a couple days apart
Answer:	I would sand before recoating... but... it took mine about 3days before i could sand it @ 1/4" thick... so plan for that... maybe sand it with 600grit or even 400 should be just fine
Question:	Are there paints/ primers/ stains/ adhesives that I should avoid using under the resin? I am planning to stain/ prime a wood base w/ objects glued on
Answer:	Embedding solid objects: Wood, rocks, shells, bottle caps, coins, etc. may be embedded with this product also. Allporous objects must be sealed first with a good coat of epoxy. If the objects are not properly sealed, they will releasetiny air bubbles which will form around the object during the flood coat. Placement of these objects may be donebefore you apply the first seal coat or they can be placed into a seal coat using it as glue to hold them down. Makesure that your seal coat completely surrounds the embedded objects so that when it hardens they are secured to yoursurface and do not float up into the flood coat. You will want to wait 24 hours before pouring the flood coat if you areusing the seal coat as a glue. This will allow the seal coat enough time to harden. If you are not placing objects in theseal coat, then they must be glued down or they can float up into the flood coat. Most regular glues will work fineexcept for hot glue sticks. In that instance you will pour the flood coat 4 hours after the seal
Question:	What about wood expansion/movement? Once the wood is imbeded in the epoxy, will it continue to expand/contract causing the epoxy to crack
Answer:	I coated the wood I embedded and the wood trim before I poured. Keeps the air bubbles from surfacing and the wood from expanding
Question:	Is this product fda compliant
Answer:	From their website and blog dated sept 10, 2017.... The short answer is, yes. Once Pro Marine Supplies Table Top Epoxy has cured it becomes safe, per FDA code, 21CFR175.300 which states "Resinous and polymeric coatings may be safely used as the food-contact surface of articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding food" and can be used as a "functional barrier between the food and the substrate" and "intended for repeated food-contact use

Preserve & display photos, bottle caps, magnets, charms, & other cherished trinkets on your custom top. For a striking 3-D effect that makes objects seem to float beneath the surface, pour multiple 1/8" flood coats (waiting 4-8 hours between each coat), and embed objects in each layer.

Is cured TableTop food safe?

TotalBoat TableTop contains no harmful VOCs, which means a safer work environment when mixing, pouring, stirring & spreading, but be sure to wear proper gloves and have adequate ventilation.

TableTop is also BPA-free, so once cured, it's more suitable for contact with food. That said, we don't recommend using epoxy for a cutting board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the coverage for TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy?

A: At 1/8” thickness: 6 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Quart Kit; 12 sq. ft. per mixed Gallon Kit; 24 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Gallon Kit. At ¼” thickness: 3 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Quart Kit; 6 sq. ft. per mixed Gallon Kit; 12 sq. ft. per mixed 2-Gallon Kit.

Q: Why do I need multiple coats? Won’t one thick coat do the trick?

A: Multiple thin layers give you a sealer/leveling coat and as much build as you would like without the high risk for errors, bubbles, or a wavy surface.

Q: Can I use it on my bar top outside?

A: You can, but it will be exposed to UV rays that can make it look amber or delaminate over time, depending on substrate. You’ll want to overcoat it with a quality UV-filtering varnish.

Prepare the surface

• To contain the liquid epoxy, apply plastic packing tape (as it can be removed easily) around the edges of the table.
• Delicate objects such as photos or maps can be damaged by epoxy. Coat them first with an alternate clear coat (polyurethane or acrylic sealers are recommended) before applying TableTop Epoxy.
• Combine the epoxy resin (Part A) and hardener (Part B) at the specified, simple mix ratio of 1 to 1 by volume, and mix for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to another mixing cup and keep stirring until the mixture is blended thoroughly.
• To begin, use a brush to apply a very thin sealer coat of TableTop Epoxy to the table top or bar top to seal porous surfaces. This includes applying a thin sealer coat to any objects that will be embedded. If you skip this step, the porous surface or embedded objects will release large air bubbles that can ruin your project.

Pour the mixed epoxy

• Once the sealer coat has set, apply a flood coat.
• Pour less epoxy into any narrower areas, and more epoxy into wider, more open areas.
• Each flood coat should be no more than 1/8” thick.
• You can pour multiple flood coats (waiting at least 4 hours in between each coat) until you achieve the desired thickness. Tip: Multiple pours are recommended. Do not attempt one thick flood coat because air bubbles will get trapped beneath the surface, and the excess heat generated by a thick pour will distort the surface itself. The epoxy will not self level or cure properly.

Spread evenly

• Flood coats will flow and self level, but tools such as brushes, plastic spreaders, and squeegees may be used to help spread the mixed epoxy resin evenly across the surface.
• If you like, you can embed objects such as shells or bottle caps at this stage. You can also embed objects in subsequent flood coats in order to make the objects appear to float beneath the surface.

Remove surface bubbles

• A few minutes after the flood coat is applied, bubbles will rise to the surface. To pop the bubbles, use a heat gun (or butane torch) on low power, hold it six inches above the surface of the epoxy resin, and slowly sweep the heat gun back and forth over the surface, until the bubbles disappear. It's very important to wave the heat gun around and keep it moving, so you don't burn or singe embedded objects.
• TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy can usually be recoated in 4-8 hours without any additional prep work or sanding.
• If the previous layer is allowed to dry completely, the surface should be scuff-sanded with 220-320 grit sandpaper, for optimal adhesion between coats. After sanding, wipe the surface with a solvent such as acetone or denatured alcohol to remove dust and other contaminants. Allow the surface to dry before applying the next 1/8" flood coat.
• For any areas that have blemishes, sand with 80-grit sandpaper, before applying a final coat.

Coffee table with embedded pennies

"Great product. Exactly what I needed to finish my penny coffee table project." - Vince, via Amazon Reviews

Dining table with embedded decal

"My wife wanted a custom dining table with an embedded Compass Rose decal. I did a seal coat, then the first flood coat of TableTop Epoxy. I applied the Compass Rose decal on top of the first flood coat because I wanted the decal to be raised above the wood surface. Waited four hours, then did a second 1/8" pour of TableTop Epoxy. I beveled the edges and the table is beautiful. All my neighbors want me to make one for them!" - Joe O., TotalBoat store customer

Boat table with embedded objects

"This stuff is awesome. Use a small heat gun to quickly pop any bubbles. We used this for a boat table with a map, compass, micrometer, anchor trinket, and a silver dollar "trapped" in the clear epoxy. One tip: order extra. A whole gallon did not cover the galley table more than a quarter inch. I wish I had bought two gallons because you can recoat between four to eight hours without any prep or sanding. Highly recommend!" - Brendan Keefe, via Amazon Reviews

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used for casting with wood to make bowls and other things of varied thickness and what is the cure time
Answer:	Just like most other epoxies, if the volume of epoxy is too great, it will start to exotherm. You don't want this to happen. Only pour the resin no more than 1/4" at a time. Cure times vary on the thickness of the pour and the ambient temperature. It could be a few hours to a day.
Question:	Is this FDA approved
Answer:	No, but I don't think a product like this is something the FDA is responsible for.
Question:	Can you mix color pigment with this to ad some color
Answer:	Yes you can. Add pigments that are compatible with epoxy resins.
Question:	Can you use this too make two part soft plastic lure molds
Answer:	when this dries it is not soft it would be like a hard plastic lure

User questions & answers

Question:	will sealing bare wood surface prevent bubbles forming
Answer:	The product should be applied in two stages. The first stage is referred to as the seal coat. The seal coat is a small batch of epoxy that is brushed on in a thin layer to seal any pores in the surface and prevent air bubbles from forming in the following flood coat. Our epoxy is used for both your seal coat and your flood coat.
Question:	Is this FDA compliant
Answer:	Yes, here is the response from promarine supplies "Although we do not have FDA approval certificate, our epoxy does comply with FDA Compliant Coating for Direct and Indirect Food Contact. Our Epoxy is VOC-Free and user-friendly. Once the epoxy is cured, it is an inert plastic that is non-harmful or hazardous." I have also shared some information from our websites in the link below. https://promarinesupplies.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001444873-Is-Pro-Marine-Clear-Table-Top-Epoxy-FDA-Compliant-or-Food-Safe- https://www.promarinesupplies.com/www.promarinesupplies.com/blogis-pro-marine-supplies-epoxy-food-safe/
Question:	Will this work over Minwax polyurethane (oil based). i see it wont react well with oil based stain so i applied poly over the stain. thoughts
Answer:	epoxy can go over them in about 24 hours. OIL BASED paints take a LONG time to fully dry. If an oil-based paint is used, you must apply 3 coats of oil-based polyurethane to seal the surface before applying a seal coat of our UltraClear epoxy. If you go directly over the oil-based paint and it is not completely dry, you run the risk of the epoxy not sticking to the surface and peeling off months later.
Question:	how many square feet does it cover
Answer:	it depends on how thick you put it. First time I used it, 1 gallon for 80 square feet. second time I used 5 oz thinner to 1/2 gallon and covered 80 square feet.it all depends how thick you spread it.

Beautiful and Versatile, Crystal Clear Finish...Every Single Time!

Step 1: Measure

Pour equal parts of resin and hardener into a clean mixing container or graduated mixing tubs, using a 1:1 ratio (by volume) It is crucial that the product is measured accurately and mixed thoroughly. Measure 1 part RESIN to 1 part HARDENER by volume. Do NOT vary this ratio. Our Epoxy is formulated to cure at a specific mixing proportion, and any variances can cause the product never fully to cure. We recommend always pouring the HARDENER into your mixing container first, followed by the RESIN. This will help the two components mix thoroughly.

Step 2: Mix

First Mix: Mix with a flat bottom stir stick or spatula being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container as you go. Your mixture will appear hazy at first, and then become more transparent as the resin and hardener molecules begin to blend within three to five minutes.

Second Mix: Pour the Resin and Hardener from your first container into a second container scraping all the mixture out from the sides and bottom of the cup. Thoroughly mix for an additional three minutes.

Step 3: Seal Coat Stage

The best way to apply a seal coat is to start on one end of the table and pour the resin all the length of the surface, zigzagging as you go. Then use a foam brush to drag the resin across the entire surface to achieve an even coat. The epoxy cures rather quickly in the container, so it is necessary to paint the seal coat on quickly or mix up a smaller amount so that it does not cure in the container while you are still working on it. The seal coat does not need to be smooth as the flood coat will fill in the brush strokes and irregularities making it crystal clear. Once the entire surface is sealed, wait 4-6 hours to pour the flood coat. Do not exceed 10 hours or you run the risk of the flood coat not blending into the seal coat flawlessly.

Step 4: Flood Coat Stage

Each flood coat self-levels at approximately 1/8” thick. If depths thicker than 1/8” are desired multiple coats are necessary. You must wait at least 4 to 10 hours between flood coats. The epoxy will still be tacky so the next pour will stick to it.

The best way to apply the flood coat is to start on one end and pour the resin the entire length of the surface, zigzagging as you go. After you are finished pouring, set the container down. Do NOT try to scrape anything else out of the bucket. Because you are pouring about three times the amount of product you did with the seal coat, the material will immediately start to flow out.

Step 5: Remove Air Bubbles

Once you have sufficiently covered the entire surface with your flood coat, you will begin the process of popping air bubbles. The best tool for removing bubbles is a small propane torch. Hold the flame approximately 6 to 10 inches away from the table top and quickly sweep across the entire surface using an ironing motion. You will immediately see the bubbles start to pop. Do this until all the bubbles are gone from the surface of your table.

* After pouring your epoxy, it is common for air bubbles to form. Bubbles can continue to develop for up to 60 minutes after the curing process has begun. The most efficient way to get rid of them is to run a blowtorch over the surface sporadically 10 - 15 min at a time.

Step 6: Curing Process

After applying your final coat, the product should be kept in a clean, dust-free environment at a minimum of 75-80° F degrees. The product takes approximately 12-14 hours to dry to the touch. However, the product should not be put into any use for at least three days which will allow it to achieve sufficient hardness to resist scratching. At temperatures below 75 F, the product will take longer to cure and might not cure to complete hardness.

User questions & answers

Question:	made a mess used to much want to start over, will anything desolve it or just have to sand it down
Answer:	You can sand it down, but you can also just add more on top and it will look like one coat. We had some swipe marks where we were still smoothing it out when it was too stiff, and you can't tell we added more the next day. I don't think anything will dissolve it without being more of a mess.
Question:	Do I need to purchase any other materials to blend it
Answer:	You'll want to have two plastic containers with measurements on them, especially if not mixing the full batch. The ratio needs to be pretty exact otherwise you can have problems with it setting up (like all epoxy). I prefer disposable containers personally because its thick/messy stuff. You'll probably want a third and slightly bigger container for mixing and something like a paint stirrer or similar to mix it well. That's my setup at least for what its worth...
Question:	Could I use this product to coat a ceramic mosaic table top that would be used outdoors
Answer:	polyurethane is better suited for gloss retention however all clear coatings will fade over time eventually to UV with ceramic you've already got the best surface for weathering...I wouldn't add anything over ceramic
Question:	Is there some sort a material that I can use that will not bond with the glaze? I need to build a barrier to keep the glaze from going over the sides
Answer:	You could build a barrier and put wax paper between the barrier and the epoxy. The epoxy won't bond to the wax paper.
