🧰 Application Tips
Surface Preparation: Clean and sand surface. Seal porous wood before pouring (prevents air bubbles).
Mix Thoroughly: Mix slowly for 3–5 minutes. Scrape sides and bottom.
Pour in Layers: For deep pours (>1/4"), use multiple layers or deep-pour epoxy.
Use a Torch/Heat Gun: Pass gently over surface to remove bubbles.
Cover During Curing: Prevent dust or debris from settling on the surface.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
Use in a well-ventilated area.
Wear gloves, goggles, and a respirator if needed.
Keep away from open flames (epoxy can be flammable when uncured).
Some epoxy resins may yellow over time, especially with prolonged UV exposure.
