Pro Marine Supplies Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin & Hardener for Table Tops

Ashley StullAshley Stull: I’m a full time artist and have tried a gazillion resins…and have found pro marine to offer the most bank for my buck. Crystal clear, not many bubbles (is mixed slow) and so far appears to be non yellowing. However I haven’t left my creations out in the sun to totally do the test but I know sometimes w different brands you can. See yellowing on items that have been inside. But I’ve made pro marine my preferred brand because the quality of my work turns out great and ultimately that’s what matters…they help me get my job done

Faliesha Ewing: Not sure how to feel to be honest. The smell is the worst part I think. I’m used to working with resins with low odor and man.. this stuff hits you hard. I haven’t ever seen this many bubbles in the years I’ve worked with resin, but they also pop very easy.. however little bubbles go in the air and have popped on my skin and goggles so it would have gotten in my eye without them, so be careful. It is crystal clear. Mixes well. Someone complained about it being thick and sticky... it’s resin. It’s actually one of the thinnest ones I’ve used before, it coats easy and looks beautiful. But it also gets extremely hot quickly if made in too big of a batch, so it makes it harder to wait for bubbles to rise. Idk.. is there a perfect resin out there that doesn’t take me pulling out a second mortgage? If not, this ones worth the price. But if there’s something that doesn’t have issues with odor and bubbles, go for it.

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...

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...
