Crystal Clear Bar Table Top Epoxy Resin Coating by Pro Marine Supplies

artv4nd3l4y: I did a lot of pours with this gallon and only one of them had any issues. I can only speculate what happened. I noticed on the bad pour the measuring was slightly over for the epoxy so I tried to match how much off it was with hardener. The other mention is I did not use a second container to mix it a second time, instead I mixed it the full 6 minutes in the same one. I had success 5/6 times doing this, but I do recommend you use two containers and mix it 3 minutes in the first, transfer it then mix 3 for minutes in the second.

I have not had an issue since I started using a second container each time, and made sure the levels never go over. If they do you should just mix slightly more, trust me the bad batch still has not cured and the rest of it usually cures overnight. Also be careful not to mix too vigorously since that will add bubbles, and you do not want to pull the paint stick in and out since that will add bubbles.

BuddhaShaolin: This epoxy worked pretty good for my project. I liked it but it can be difficult to use. Read on if you're bored.

I used this stuff to cover my concrete countertop that I made. It was "L" shaped with a cut out for a small bar sink and I used black pigment to get a midnight colored countertop. I used a mold for the front edge to give it a chiseled look. Poured the countertop and then I prepped it for epoxy. Using a wet grinder I polished it as best I could and then set to pour the epoxy. I made a small batch per the recommendations to put a starter coat on. I then followed up with a heavy "flow" coat. I ringed the countertop with tape to hold the flow coat in, in order to let it "set up" and then removed the tape and used a torch to heat up and "flow" the epoxy over the edge using a throw away brush. Overall it worked pretty good and my friends thought it looked awesome. Some things to note and things I would do differently. I should have polished the top first and then did an infill coat. I knocked out some very small aggregate in the concrete that left very small holes that created bubble problems for me. Not the end of the world. I plan on sanding and putting a new coat...

Jake: For first time users, I would highly recommend mixing small amounts and trying little jobs. The product can produce amazing results BUT has many nuances. This is my 2nd kit (and was substantially better than the first from a different manufacturer).

I used the product in a cool garage - 55-60f so realize my comments relate to THIS TEMPERATURE. This is a big deal as the viscosity changes dramatically based on temp. If you're using this in the summer in Phoenix in your garage with the door open, this will flow like water!

Viscosity will dictate 1) how this flows and if not properly contained completely, how quickly it drips out 2) how it traps bubbles and how thick you can/should pour it 3) if it will level itself out or not. There is NO optimal temperature as you need to figure out how to use it and then decide what works best for your application.

I needed a build up to about 1" in certain areas of my project. I took 4-5 applications to get it there based on temp and bubble trap. To that, adding epoxy in layers is super easy, takes no prep other than keeping to clean and then pouring again within 24-36hrs. In fact, I routinely needed to sand edges off based on...

Natisha: WOWOWOW came out better than i could have ever imagines smooth self leveling and no bubbles and hard as a rock VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FROM PROFESSIONALS ON YOUTUBE can be very helpful and save you from ruining your own DIY and save you from wasting a lot of product! Im a 26 year old woman and i found this to be so easy to maneuver with by myself although a hand is always a nice touch and the working time was a little stressful but i watched so many videos and decided along the line of what i might have wanted and executed with precision in a timely manner and followed most steps i wish i was more consistent with wiping away drips while wet due to having to cut off drip from the botting of the counter but everything else PERFECTION! ill be careful to not do nothing too crazy untill i get the untimate gloss finish to cover my perfect work ill be back with a photo so oyu can see my finished results!

nyeent: I decided to try this brand to see how it performs and I liked the results. I only did thin pours of about 1/2", with colours added as an accent and I was very pleased.
There was a right balance of working time and ease of pouring. I did not use any vacuum pot or heat to remove bubbles but there were not any significant or easily noticeable bubbles. Being that this was a relatively thin pour, bubbles should not be an issue anyway.
I admit that I am new to resin pours but by measuring accurately, I was able to achieve an end product that I am proud of.
Photos to follow.

Michelle BeaudryMichelle Beaudry: I have never used, or worked with epoxy. I decided to give this a shot after doing a lot of research, and watching videos on how to apply epoxy (I was looking to refinish my bathroom vanity). When choosing the epoxy, I read alot of the reviews. I settled on this one, and I am glad I did! It turned out beautiful- and I would like to describe my process to give guidance to others.
1- The below supplies are what I obtained for the epoxy countertop- ALL of which I got at the dollar store!
- latex gloves
- 1 cup plastic measuring cup (x2)
- 2L food storage container (the ones for watermelon slices with the lid, but didn't use the lid)
- 2" paint brush
- 9'x12' plastic drop sheet (x2)
- sandpaper(100grit)
- masking tape
- paint mixing stick
After sanding, cleaning the countertop and repainting it (regular white paint) and letting it completely dry overnight- I taped my plastic drop sheet first to the floor, up the side of the vanity, and then took the other drop sheet, and taped it under the counter and let it drape to the floor over the other drop sheet. Make sure you have ALL your supplies on hand before starting, including paper towels. Here comes the...

SweetNiffer: This is a beautiful resin, in that it hardens crystal clear, applies to surfaces beautifully. And mixes easily. There isn't a strong scent, that I've noticed. But I work near a fan regardless. The bubbles rise fairly quickly, however, if you are using this for closed-in molds, you might want to consider a pressure chamber, or a vibration plate to help get the bubbles out. It's curing time is exactly as the instructions state. I've noticed that, if I'm doing a closed mold, I want to basically mix and pour IMMEDIATELY, to give the bubbles more time to escape. If you're doing open molds, or table top surfaces, then you have a bit more time to work with it. It does get quite hot during curing, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I will buy again, when the finances permit. It is a bit pricey.
