Table Top Epoxy Resin Superclear 64 oz | 2 Quart Kit, Anti-Yellow Highest UV Impact Resistance, Food Grade Safe, Ultra Crystal Clear Gloss, Bubble Free, Bar & Surface Coat, Tumblers, Wood, DIY

I have done several countertops using a popular and well-known seller that is a bit more expensive. I wanted to try a cheaper alternative but did not want to give up the quality. I tried this product as an alternative to do an exotic kitchen countertop pour, and I was not disappointed. It is a bit thicker, so it does not cover as easily. I found heating with a hair dryer moved it around quickly though, so I just needed to get used to a slightly different consistency. This stuff is thicker and cures a bit faster, but I actually like that it cures quicker, because I did not have to wait around nearly as long before removing the tape from the edges. Now that I have used it once, I can confidently say it is a good product, it just works slightly differently from what I had used before. No huge differences, it is just thicker and cures a bit faster, but again, that turns out to be a positive. Another benefit I found is that this epoxy has few if any bubbles, and I did stir it with a drill and paint paddle stirrer. I mean few if any bubbles occurred in the epoxy at all. The key to stirring is to keep the paddle in the epoxy and to hit the bottom and sides fully and stir it for a good 3 to 4 minutes. Once you no longer see any of the white streaks, it is thoroughly mixed. I had no soft or sticky spots at all, and it was nice and dry and hard within 20 hours when I went back to check it. The tops were perfect and I'm more than pleased. If you are having problems with soft or sticky spots, you are probably not mixing it properly. Do not be afraid to mix with a drill and paint paddle, as that worked well for me. In the end, I got a beautiful set of counter tops at about half the usual costs. I give it 5 stars for now. I will try and update this later as to how well it holds up but mixing and pouring and the outcome so far are first class! I give it a full 5 stars for now. No smell at all, very clear so far, mixed easily and the colors are perfect.

Worked and cured well - watch a few project videos first, and you'll be pouring resin like a pro in no time. Very low VOC - can be used indoors without mask as a result, which is HUGE! Make sure your pouring surface and work area is at least 65 degrees F for best results... and keep a hand torch ready, as just a quick pass of the Bernzomatic open flame will remove troublesome and unsightly "bubbles" that form during the early curing phase (before the epoxy sets). Took the dyes flawlessly, I had light gray base with blue and moss green details for walls, snow white for the ceiling (it was a multi-color, multi layer, multi piece custom bath enclosure) - sorry for the blurry image. Project came out looking great, the edges sealed perfectly with silicone, custom fit shower enclosure is 100% waterproof. Beware "buggy" grades of plywood as pouring substrate: I used a construction-grade 1/2 plywood as my flat base - and though nothing of it, as a good strong substrate. But if you use plywood as a base, especially construction grade, be careful as many commercial grade plywoods can have small "bugs" living just below the surface! I was unaware of this, and when my first coat of epoxy went on, I had to spend several minutes and intervals during curing picking "bugs" (small, gnat-like critters) which migrated out from the sub-layers of the plywood. At first i though I had a hole in my window screen, but no, they were coming from inside the plywood, and migrating INTO my lovely epoxy resin! Honestly I have run into this issue before, when 1st-coat painting fresh plywood projects - so it was more of a distraction, and actually did not harm the wood, the piece, or the project. It was just annoying, picking gnats out of setting epoxy... had I used particle board or another substrate, I would not have had this issue, so "my bad" but no harm done. I will definitely purchase this epoxy again: And excellent product, handles and performs very well, easy to use and "master"... looking forward to my next epoxy project!

It’s a really good product that has been around for a long time. It’s always predictable if you use it according to the directions. It’s super clear and hardens in 24 hours. The key is to prep the surface to prevent air bubbles. It’s a 1 to 1 ratio.

I've been in the epoxy game for years, and have used many different products and have installer status with other brands. This 4star review is for their 1:1 ratio surface epoxy. I think this company's de ep pour product is a great formula for that intended use. Short version: This product works fine for the price, but there are better 1:1 epoxies for a little bit more money . I've have gotten good results with it, but I've been doing this a long time (see photos attached). Pros: it is very reasonably priced, fast shipping, it hardens to a clear decently tough top coat finish (haven't used long enough to comment on uv resistance). Cons: it seems to trap alot more bubbles than most products I've used. I've found myself continually torching this product to remove excess bubbles alot of which are micro bubbles that pop like carbonated soda. It has cure time similar to most 1:1 epoxies, but doesn't mix as well if you add a second accent pour after the initial flood coat (finish looks different). I've found that I need to pour my detail colors all in one first pour for it to blend properly. As all 1:1 epoxies do, it will heat, harden, and spoil if left still in a cup with in any sort of volume, so be quick about it or have someone constantly stirring anything not poured yet. It also has a stronger smell to it. My assistant whines about it. If you have experience, for the price, it's worth a try. I'm using it to make cheaper sample boards for showrooms. If youre new to epoxy, this product may not give you the results you want as easy as others might.
