Countertop Epoxy - FX Poxy - UV Resistant Resin - 2 Quarts

I used this product for a project where I wanted to inlay mother of pearl into black walnut, then seal everything up with a clear epoxy. The keys to having this product turn out with a glass finish are proper preparation using exact ratios and good supplies, and using a torch to "burst" any bubbles after the epoxy is poured. The problem is that when you mix the 2 part epoxy, you're going to be forcing a ton of air bubbles to form, and when you pour the solution, the bubbles remain. Quick heat with something like a butane torch will cause the bubbles to expand and burst, then the epoxy to lay flat. You need to apply the right heat from the right distance to pop the existing bubbles, but not cause boiling of any water that may be trapped (in my case in the wood), and need to watch out for scorching as the product becomes more solid. With proper technique, you will get professional results. Do your homework and make sure you have a heat source ready to go ahead of time. Cure time was ~48 hours, graduated mixing cups are highly recommended in my opinion, make sure you get the size appropriate for your project. I'd also recommend using PTFE tape or something similar to reseal these containers for future use after opened.

We were a little nervous about using this to finish our penny table project because we had never used epoxy before. However, we printed out all the instructions, and followed the directions exactly, and it turned out great! We poured it in our garage so we would have better control over the temperature. We didn't notice any fumes. A couple things to watch out for: 1) Make sure you order enough. We need a second coat on our table; it is 12.5 sq ft with ungrouted pennies, and two quarts wasn't quite enough for a glass-like, smooth finish. I had a feeling that we would be cutting it close, so I had already ordered a second 2 quart kit. If we had grouted the pennies, it probably would have been enough. 2) Make sure your torch has plenty of fuel! Our torch ran out of fuel in the process, and we didn't have time to get another one. So, we do have a few small bubbles, but at least no cloudiness. I am still very happy with it! 3) I'll say it again - follow the directions exactly, especially in regards to temperature. Don't so this if it is not warm enough!! The one thing the company could improve upon is making the instructions online more printer-friendly.

We were tired of the countertops in our kitchen and couldn't afford granite, so decided to try epoxy. First I covered the tile with water resistant hi-density fiber board. For being my first epoxy job, the results turned out better than I had hoped for. So I decided to try doing the same over the ugly 1970s tile in my shower, and will be posting again when the results are in on that project. This epoxy went on really clear, leveled nicely, and didn't have any problems with yellowing or bubbles, like I'd heard about with some other brands of epoxy. I did use all that I mixed right away, which may make a difference. If I could I would post pictures. I found the seller to be very helpful easy to get a hold of. A+ Follow-up: Ended up doing the upstairs shower, first running MDF backing beyond the original tile all the way to the ceiling. My favorite aspect of this system in the shower is being able to have seamless walls and counters with continuous natural stone patterns. Every time you take a shower, it makes you feel like you're standing under a waterfall at the bottom of a southwestern slot canyon. Eventually I did the downstairs bathroom as well. Maybe later I'll install a skylight in the upstairs bath, to complete the canyon experience. For bigger jobs I'd recommend the FxPoxy 2 gallon kit.

Wasn’t enough so I had to buy more to finish my project. Fast delivery

I particularly like the 1:1 mix on this epoxy. I used it mixed with silica sand for repairing cracks in a concrete driveway. It cured to a hard yet tough polymer even in thin films. The viscosity of the resin component is a little high but sitting it in a warm water bath lowere it to a nice consistency. I could see where air entrapment could be an issue if used for a tabletop application but I was surprised that it appears to be self de-airing. Residue left in plastic cups cured crystal clear with just a couple of retaine bubbles. That could have been on me as I mixed the A and B really vigorously. Product was also low odor and not irritating.

The product works great. Has a nice shine to it. However, every time I order it, part B comes yellow. And yes it will yellow over time but a customer should not receive it that way.

This was my first time using Epoxy. I watched many epoxy videos on youtube and was impressed with the Epoxy videos from countertopepoxy.com. Was not liking the volume/price they were offering on their website, until I found it on Amazon at a smaller volume/price. I am currently renovating my house and was working on the bathroom. I had pulled out the old sink and thought I could save some money by applying epoxy on the old sink instead of buying a new one. If it didn;t work out i'd just buy a new sink. I followed the mixing directions exactly using 2oz of A + B, after the final mix I poured off some for accent color. Mixed in base color Black and mixed in my accent color White. After mixing I had about 45 mins to work with the epoxy before it started to harden. This was enough time to pour and spread my Black base over the sink then add my White Veins to the sink. I used another 2oz to add more Black Base and White Veins. After it all dried up for 24hours there was some unevenness and bubbles I had missed on the sink. So i added another quart of Clear Epoxy all over the sink to smooth it out and shine it up. It turned out beautiful check out the photo and my youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI--kqEtbvM.
