User questions & answers

Easy 1:1 Self-Leveling Formula

Use our product with ease, featuring an easy 1:1 self-leveling formula!

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:	How thick can I pour this resin
Answer:	If you set up a damn you could pour it fairly thick (1/4" or so). But depending on the area you wanted to cover you might want to buy more resin. These are about the size of bottles that Bubbles come in. You could also do multiple layers, but that might take a while. Amazon is a good resource, but YouTube has more examples.
Question:	Could I use this to cover a photo mounted on cardboard? If yes, what would be the longevity until the photo underneath would yellow
Answer:	Yes you can definitely do that. Just glue down the photo first with a glue stick and then brush a thin layer of epoxy over the photo and cardboard before doing the actual pour. This will hold the photo in place and prevent air bubbles from escaping from the paper and into the thick coating of resin. As long as the epoxy is kept indoors it should stay clear for a long time. It should only yellow if it is exposed to the sun too much.
Question:	Is this fda approved for use with products that potentially touch food
Answer:	It is okay to use for a table top where food may spill and touch it for a short amount of time but it should not be used for any food containers or in an application that has prolonged contact with food.
Question:	What is the total cure time
Answer:	I've been making dice with this resin, and although it comes out amazingly well, I'd let it cure the full 72 hours before removing from the molds. I have dice that are still tacky after 36 hours. It's worth the wait.

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

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you you use this to put over a led light strip on a snowboard? I really just want to know if it will hold
Answer:	You'll need to create an airtight mold going beyond some tape. Hot glue with a solid surface, followed by some cutting, sanding, and polishing. I do know this resin is flexible compared to others that dry brittle, so it's a great choice
Question:	Is it 1:1 ratio by volume or by weight
Answer:	Appears the mfr. mixes measurements on the bottle. Volume of each container is stated as 240ml, but instead of staying with ml which is the same as cubic centimeter measure, the mfr. switches to weight from volume, making it confusing to those that get the difference. But doesn't state the specific gravity of each part. That's scary, and possibly why so many people say it stays soft and flexible and takes days to harden! I can't afford to ruin my project with soft resin, so I will weigh it when it arrives since the mfr. can't stick to one type of measure. I'll measure the height and diameter of each bottle. If discrepancy of volume, will update and advise. If it's all good, will not update.
Question:	How long does it take to cure
Answer:	24-48 hours
Question:	Can I use paint to color this Resin
Answer:	Use Micah powder instead. Super cheap, luminescent, and it won't have a chemical reaction during drying time. Paint will work, but heat discoloration is a "maybe/probably" situation that depends on brand/type.

User questions & answers

Question:	I've seen some mixed answers. What are the depth restrictions for this resin, per the resins instructions
Answer:	it doesn't say for castings, but does specify for tabletop coatings shouldn't go more than 1/4" layers at a time.
Question:	What safety precautions do you take while using this epoxy product? What kind of a mask do you need
Answer:	This epoxy has very little noticeable off-gassing, so I mix it in a well ventilated area and I personally do not wear a mask. If you do want to wear a mask - the only one that will do any good will state that it is good for filtering VOLITILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (This type of paint respirator will protect against organic vapors (VOCs) found in paint and other chemicals. Typically - these masks are good for 8 hours of heavy filtering or 40 hours of light filtering. If you can start to smell vapors, it's time for a new mask.
Question:	Is it fda approved
Answer:	All resin is technically food safe if it has been mixed and cured properly. If it has cured completely hard it no longer emits fumes. Meaning it’s then inert. So basically it turns into plastic. So be careful of your mixing process and any finishes you use on your resin pieces. if it’s still sticky or tacky something happened in the mixing process. I say check out professional carpenters or craftsmen on your tube that work with resin. They give great advice on the product and the finishes they use to stay food safe. Good luck!
Question:	is it FDA compliant
Answer:	Dont eat it

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.

Easy 1:1 Self Leveling Formula

Use our product with ease, featuring an easy 1:1 self-leveling formula!

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:	how do you apply this product to an outdoor table
Answer:	I assume you are talking about a table located outside and it cannot be brought inside for coating. In theory the system will work outside just like inside providing the temperature is sufficiently high. The instructions say 75F minimum. I have success at 65F in my garage here in South Carolina during winter months. If I were doing this outside I would follow a process something like this. 1. Make sure the table is dry. No rain or precipitation for several days. 2. Temperature planned to be above 65F for 3 to 4 days/nights. Higher temperature is better. 3. I would cover the ground under the table with plastic and weight the plastic down so it seals the moisture in the soil so it does not rise when applying the coating. 4. Level the table as best you can. The epoxy will run to the low side if it is not level. 5. I would build a frame to hold plastic sheet that will completely cover the table without touching the table. This should be open at the bottom by 1 to 1.5 feet so the air circulates and moisture does not accumulate. End vents in the plastic would be useful also. 6. The day I plan to apply the coating I would wash the table with denatured alcohol and let it dry. This wipe again with the alcohol. Follow this with heating of the surface with a heat gun. 7. Mix and apply the epoxy per the directions. Use the heat gun to remove "air" bubbles from the surface as described in the instructions. 8. Once heating is no longer being performed cover the table with the plastic frame. 9. Come back in 6 to 8 hours and evaluate the coating. If bugs are present remove them before applying next coating. 10. When ready to apply the 2nd coating wipe clean with denatured alcohol and dry with heat gun. then mix epoxy and apply per instructions. Repeat air bubble removal and cover with the frame. 11. Repeat for any additional layers. To get good leveling the epoxy needs to be at a high enough temperature for the mixed viscosity to be low enough to flow. But if the temperature is too high it will start to cure too quickly, this is why the instructions say to pour out the epoxy once it is mixed so the temperature will not rise in the container. (The curing reactions is exothermic.) I hope this helps.

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

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.

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:	Can you mix this with acrylic craft. Paints
Answer:	We’ve done plenty of resin art and that’s what we use to mix the resin with. It works fine like any other acrylics.
Question:	Will this prodict work on laminated counyer tops to make look like stone or granite by mixing the counter top paint in the diy videos
Answer:	Our resin is non-toxic, however it is not certified as food-safe. Many of our customer have used our resin to craft counter tops and tables, however we do not recommend any direct food contact over prolonged periods of time. We recommend mixing it with a pigment powder rather than paint. Please keep in mind when pouring this resin that the maximum recommended amount to pour at once is 1/8" layer, waiting 3-5 hrs between each layer. Since our resin is thermo-setting, when mixing large amounts of resin, we recommend separating the mixture into several different containers to prevent the containers from becoming too hot.
Question:	Can this be used on a wine cork project
Answer:	Our resin is very versatile and can be used in most projects that require a hard, clear finish when cured (assuming you don't want to add pigments or dyes) and where you want a longer working time of about 40 minutes.
Question:	I am using this to fill a 1 inch deep void between two pieces of walnut...a colored river.Do i have to do small pours, or can i use all in one pour
Answer:	When filling a void, the maximum pour amount is 6 inches, or a 1/8" when coating.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would mixing by hand (paint stick) in small cups be okay? 2 cups max
Answer:	I’m knew to this as well but according to the instructions you mix at a 1:1 ratio and I do so on a bigger cup then distribute to smaller cups. This is much easier to do since curing time varies on several factors.
Question:	Can i buy just the hardener? i was accidentally sent two 1-gallon bottles of dr. crafty resin instead of one bottle each of resin and hardner
Answer:	Hi there, unfortunately we do not currently sell the hardener separately at this time.
Question:	How hot does the resin get while curing
Answer:	In a 6" x 6" x 1/2" thick covered mold I recorded a max temp of 165 degree Fahrenheit for the resin.
Question:	do I have to weigh it on scale or just use the measuring cup for the same volume
Answer:	I see answers that you can use 1:1 for both weight and volume. When measuring 1:1 for weight, I end up with a lot of left over resin. Is this correct? Seems if it were truly a 1:1 either way, the bottles would be empty at the same time.
