Crystal clear epoxy resin cures to a brilliant high gloss finish. Our General Use – CRYSTAL CLEAR EPOXY is a clear polymer used for coating wood, veneer, metal, stone, painted surfaces, tabletops, bar tops, many other surfaces to give rich super gloss look and protect from scratching and air humidity. Surfaces coated with this General Use Epoxy are durable, water-resistant and easy to care. The finished product will be very rigid, smooth, clear, and display a brilliant high gloss finish similar to glass. Our epoxy resin provides a fast cure and property development at ambient and low temperatures without accelerators and allows for a quick return to service. The typical pot-life on this item is roughly 45-50 minutes based on mass and temperature. Thin-film set time 3mil. Film is roughly 5 hours at 78F. Fast cure and green time while exhibiting low exothermic temperatures 120C. Makes this product ideal for all applications. The full cure is 24 hours at normal conditions. Mixing, Storage, and Application for epoxy resin. Mix this resin 1:1 by volume. If mixing by weight, mix 100 parts of resin into 83 parts of hardener. When mixing this product, make sure to use a round cup & mix thoroughly scraping all sides and bottom of the mixing container. Improperly mixed epoxy can create a major headache. Remember that thermoset plastics are temperature sensitive. Cold weather slows the curing process down, whereas heat speeds curing up. Always try to mix chemicals at room temperature. For best results, try pouring epoxy into the hardener. Pour along the side of the container to help alleviate air entrapment. Mix for at least 3-5 minutes. Use a round motion until the chemical is clear and free of striations. Allow the mixed components to stand in your mixed cup for at least 5 minutes. This allows for bubbles to rise to the surface. Small castings and potting units may take longer to cure than larger items. This chemical needs to be stored in a dry, safe, temperature-controlled environment. Always keep the lids tightly sealed when not in use. Remember, oxygen and moisture oxidize and can rapidly degrade the epoxy and hardener. Moisture is also a potential issue. Always keep the bottles sealed when not in use. When applying this product, use gloves, goggles, and proper safety equipment. Please refer to the safety data sheet before using any of our epoxy products.
