Surface Prep
All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of contami- nation. Contaminates include, but are not limited to dust, oil, moisture, sap, lint, and sanding debris. DO NOT use tack cloth, paper towels, dirty rags, contam- inated sandpaper, or touch surface with oily fingers. Sand as needed and clean off sanding debris. Wipe surface down with a clean cotton t-shirt rag soaked in an oil free solvent like denatured alcohol prior to applying epoxy seal coat. DO NOT apply epoxy over oil based stains.
Mix Epoxy
Mix thoroughly at a 2:1 ratio. 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener (2A:1B) by volume or 100 parts resin to 43 parts hardener (100A:43B) by weight. Using the recommended mix ratio is VERY important. Combine resin and hardener at recommended mix ratio. Mix thoroughly for 5-10 minutes while occasionally scrap- ing sides and bottom of container until no streaks or striations are visible, transfer to a second contain-er, mix 5-10 minutes again until fully blended. Add colored pigment powder or dye to mixture if desired. Before pouring, let fully mixed epoxy dwell in mixing container for 30-45 minutes at 60-80°F to allow release of air bubbles caused by mixing. For larger pours, mix with a drill and paddle mixer.
Pour and Let Cure
Pour epoxy into form and allow epoxy to fully cure for 24-48 hours depending on the thickness. 2” pours or less may take up to 72 hrs to cure.
