Cathie: I have purchased this brand a few times now. I’ve also purchased other brands. I ONLY do casting.
I usually get the 1 gallon but decided to start getting the 2 gallon. I have not noticed a yellow tint to any of the bottles I have received.
I do notice bubbles, but I don’t see any more than in other brands I’ve purchased. With this brand, I am able to take a little bit longer to do what I do than when I’ve used other brands....not sure why.
I live in Texas where it’s always warm or hot- but because of medical reasons...my house temperature is *never* over 68 degrees. Never.
I do mix in a slightly different manner than I’ve read how others do, and from what is suggested.
I mix my resin epoxy in 10 ounce cups. I’ve used larger but I feel the 10 ounce or smaller cups work better, even if I have to use 3 or 4 cups for a larger project. I stir with a tongue depressor for 5 minutes, then I let it sit for 5-10 minutes. During that 5-10 minutes...I torch the bubbles, usually 3 times, sometimes just 2. Right before I go to pour- I torch it again. This is when I add colorant (mica and/or alcohol ink) and/or glitter - or other cool things. I lightly torch one more...

Amazon Customer: Be very careful and due your research. Do not poor more then 1/4 inch thick pours with 6 hours between them. And faster and your defiantly in for some major work or throwing away your project. Keep your room at 75 degrees (plus 3 minus 1) do not let room change temperature quickly. Slow stir for a while making sure to mix very very well, do not use drill(it adds more bubbles)
Example of good and bad pours.
Good: Hard as a rock 6 to 8 hours after final pour.
Bad: sticky tacky days after. Multiple pours with not enough curing time or lower room temperature, first pour 1/4" thick 6 hours later next pour 1/4" thick 4 hours later, 3rd pour 5/16" thick. Last pour will dry to quick causing middle pour to not dry at all, possible mixing of layers causing softer gel like to end up on top.
Bad: 2 inch thick pour. Grab a fire extinguisher and hope nothing catches on fire. Final product will dry in 30 min to an hour instead of 24 hours. Will crack everywhere while drying. Imagine throwing molten glass in a freezer thats in an ice cube tray. The glass sticks to the tray and cracks as everything cools/shrinks.

Ron HRon H: This makes a great coating for a table or desktop. I would not use it in the kitchen or other areas where you may have high heat or hot pots/pans being placed on the surface. The table top in the picture above was done with a casting resin and this is NOT a casting resin. You CAN pour at about 1/4" increments to get to the total desired fill depth. I have done this on a tree limb with a lot of rot inside pouring 1/4" at a time and using a brush to help seal all the bug holes. It took perhaps 10 pours to get to depth and a good final sand and a flood coat to finish it to a smooth coat. Dont be afraid to sand between coats. 120 grit seems to work in the rougher stages and 360 to scuff for the final coats.
This material is temperature sensitive. 75F is the ideal temp and 70F and less will cure much more slowly. 8-F and higher really accelerates the pour. One pour on a table top was done at 84F and it was nearly a disaster. 10oz in a cup started to get really warm and you have to watch this. Anything above the ideal temp and the material sets exponentially faster. Mix it well and get it on the surface. Cooler temps are much more forgiving but may take up to 2 days or more...
