Decided to try it but didn’t want to invest a huge amount of money.
#Mas epoxy 60 cc how to#
I saw some videos online on how to use epoxy on countertops. Good luck to you, take your time and read the instructions and you wont fail. I had alot of leakage of good material through my cardboard I used as a backer around the sink hole. Its alos important to know that I had cut my hole where the sink would be. Too much work than just beiong ready to do a pour within the 4 to 10 hour mark. After 10 hours, you have to prep the hardened epoxy with 220 grit paper to prep another pour. Make sure you have 4-10 hours of wait time available if you plan to do more than one pour. if you get them in time, then it will self level but also make sure your product is mixed well and that its at room or just above room temp, just to help the flow.
Making a longer story abit shorter is that all three pours went perfect, it was the fact that tiny dust particles does cause a dimple. Thats where time, a clean room and lev eling is critical. The hard part was to take two 1/2 gallons of the epoxy resin and hardner to make one gallon, then divide it by 3 for three seperate pours to make sure I was doing it right. Resanded then sealed with 3 coats of a natural stain and poly to seal per instructions. I then used sealed any areas that had gaps with plastic wood putty. I sanded the top down to a fine smooth look. Once that project was completed it was stapled and glued to a backer plywood board for stability. I made a stackable spruce slat top 1"x.75 " and used a biscuit cutter to glue the stack together 24"圆0". I made a bathroom vanity top for a new sink and I didn't want to pay $700+ for a vanity and sink 60". Will be purchasing more in the future.Īnyone can use this epoxy resin, its the setup and pour that can be complicated. A propane torch concentrated to much heat on a small area. This just wasted material.Īlso, a heat gun set on low worked a lot better for the bubbles. Needless to say we have to grind the bubble out and reflood coat. We tried to go straight for the flood coat and ended up having to do a second flood coat because the pores in the wood weren't sealed up properly and we couldn't get it to stop bubbling. We found that one of the most important steps is to do a tack coat, let it dry and then do the flood coat. Be sure to go online and follow their directions to a tee for the best results, product doesn't ship with the directions. My wife and I have poured two table tops with this product so far and are extremely pleased.
Looked at all brands of table top epoxy and found the prices to be all over the board.
