MAS Epoxies Table Top Pro Epoxy Kit, 1-Gallon, (0.5-Gal Part A + 0.5-Gal Part B) Crystal Clear Resin Casting for DIY Arts, Crafts, Countertops, Wood Tables, Tabletops, Bar Tops

I first used this product a couple years ago on a bottle cap bar counter and loved how it turned out. Now, recently I wanted to resin a slab coffee table that I finished. Didn't think I had enough of the MAS product left to complete it so I bought a cheap alternative on Amazon. Whooo-boy, did I have problems! Everything that could wrong did and I returned it, sanded down the entire project, ordered more MAS and the project turned out beautiful. I'm now finishing up two slab end tables and I can't get over how easy this product is to work with. Edges can be a little tricky but a foam brush works perfectly and the top self levels to a glass like finish. I'm an MAS convert now!

Excellent product. Easy to work with.

Bought a cabin with 20 year-old tile counter tops in kitchen. Did not mind the tile but grout was worn down, old, very dirty and tiles were uneven in some places. Grout was just gross and difficult to clean counter tops. Decided to try MAS epoxy and wow, it changed my life in this kitchen. Now I have a smooth, hygienic surface that's easy to clean and looks great. So happy with results and love my kitchen now. Would definitely recommend this product. Things to keep in mind: It is very shiny/glossy so took a little getting used to but now we love it. If doing the backsplash as well as counter tops, do backsplash first because of the vertical surface and drips. The product is fairly easy to use and come with good instructions but helps if you do your research, watch some videos for application tips, and plan it out with checklists. We did and did not have much difficulty. If doing a large area, plan on doing multiple mix/pours as it's easier to work with small batches. Make sure you have enough plastic containers/mixing tools/brushes. The dollar store is your great for disposable plastic containers and brushes. Break up areas if you can. After doing the first pour on small area to left of stove, it helped us estimate 5-6 more pours for remaining project and we ended up ordering more epoxy. Cover cabinets and floors with plastic. You will have lots of drips over edges. Do not use if you notice any hardening (you'll feel the heat) of epoxy in the container. That happened with one of our mixes and it just made a mess and was unusable. We just started up another batch when that happened. Do not do this without a heat gun. We were amazed at how well it got out the bubbles. And quickly too.

I'm relatively new to epoxy resin art and was using this product to mold two geode pieces ... after mixing 10 ounces (total), and stirring 4 minutes, I began mixing with mica powder for the 6 colors I needed ... then, it was about 8-10 minutes to craft the first geode from when I began until I was done ... total time from initial mixing of the resin until completing the first geode was no longer than 15 minutes ... BUT, by then the remaining epoxy had gotten too hot to handle and had solidified beyond pouring ... previous brands of epoxy resin typically gave 35-45 minutes of pot life and I was totally surprised at the short time with this product ... other than that, the product worked very well.

Ok so the honest truth of the matter is that I rarely leave a review on amazon because with our busy life and household I just lack the time. But on my free time I like to work with live edge wood and do projects to relax from a hectic corporate workweek. So after trying several products and even some varnishes here and there this product left me and my family and friends very impressed. This product is user friendly and leaves an excellent result and if you have any questions Paul will respond to you ASAP from their family run office and he is awesome. I had some questions and he resolved it right away. It makes me confused to the earlier review where he said it left a bunch of bubbles because as long as you follow the directions and blowtorch or heatgun off the bubbles after they rise the product looks immaculate. So far I did a live edge table and a platter for a Christmas gift. Because I’ve now purchased two kits from them because it works so well it seems to me as long as you follow the very simple directions you will get pretty much professional results. I rarely give a five star shout out but this family run American business stands for what American made used to mean in the old days, quality and trust with the company you work with because they believe in their product and stand behind it. Just remember when using any epoxy product it takes a few days up to a week to properly cure, this stuff is pretty much solid after 24 hours but before giving any of your wood products hard use like a coffee room table give it some extra time to set and cure properly and you won’t be disappointed and make sure no one puts anything super hot on your table to mess it up lol!

The epoxy resin works as it should, you use 1:1 ratio and you're good to go.
