Epoxy counter top coating?
« on: Oct 10, 2013, 07:39 AM »
Has anyone ever used the epoxy bar to coating. The stuff that they say 1 coat is equal to like 50 coats of varnish. I just looking for some tips to make it go easyer as I have never done it before. Thanks. and as always I promis to post pics of it.

I have once. They say 2 parts epoxy 1 part resin. the amounts should be on the directions. Once you spread it out, you are suppose to use a torch to get the bubbles out. This is where I made my mistake. Don't get the torch to close to the epoxy or leave torch in one spot to long. I use this on my reloading bench. The scorched epoxy never hardened and remained tacky in the spots I got to close with the torch. I ended up taking the top off and varnishing a new one.

Well I just finished the first coat useful seal the wood. And all I have to say is what a pain in the butt. Now I just have to wait 5 hrs to pour the top coat.

Looks good. The stuff is really tough and cleans up nicely. It will prove to be worth the hassle
