To keep the mess to a minimum, catch any spills with a layer of plastic sheeting under your work area. Put plastic packing tape around the table edges to form a dam. Be sure your work surface is level before you pour. STEP 2 – MEASURE THE RESIN & HARDENER Put on your disposable gloves and pour 1 part resin and 1 part hardener into a clean, dry plastic mixing cup. To get ready for the next step, have a second clean mixing cup nearby. STEP 3 – MIX WELL Stir slowly so you don’t get air bubbles. After 3-5 minutes, pour into a second cup and stir for another 2-3 minutes. STEP 4 – SEAL THE SURFACE Use a brush to apply a thin seal coat of epoxy. Delicate objects that may be damaged by epoxy (e.g., photographs) may need to be sealed in a clear coat before embedding. STEP 5 – APPLY FLOOD COATS After the seal coat sets, pour the first flood coat up to 1/4″ thick. Use a plastic epoxy spreader to help spread the epoxy evenly. Wait 4-8 hours at 70°F between each flood coat. STEP 6 – POP BUBBLES & LET CURE Remove surface bubbles by waving a hair dryer or heat gun quickly back and forth just above the surface. Recoat after 4-6 hours (up to 12 hours) directly on the previous layer. Let cure 24 hours before use or before removing tape around edges.       More Details 100% solids, high-build, high-gloss, pourable epoxy Apply to properly prepared wood, metal, stone, ceramic, and concrete surfaces Simple 1 to 1 mix ratio Self-levels as it cures Sizes: Available in a 2-Quart Kit (1 Quart TableTop Epoxy Resin Part A, and 1 Quart TableTop Epoxy Hardener Part B), a 1 Gallon Kit (½-Gallon TableTop Epoxy Resin Part A, and ½-Gallon TableTop Epoxy Hardener Part B), a 2 Gallon Kit (1 Gallon TableTop Epoxy Resin Part A, and 1 Gallon TableTop Epoxy Hardener Part B), and a 4 Gallon Kit (2 Gallons TableTop Epoxy Resin Part A, and 2 Gallons TableTop Epoxy Hardener Part B)   Get the crystal clear, high-gloss, durable coating seen on restaurant bar tops and table tops TotalBoat Table Top & Bar Top Epoxy is a pourable, 2-part, clear coat epoxy system formulated for ease of use and superior results.

Upon full cure, TableTop provides unsurpassed finish clarity while preserving the surface underneath for a lifetime. Table Top Epoxy is great for embedding objects into your table, bar top, or counter top Table Top Epoxy makes it easy to cover a prepared level, horizontal surface containing just about any collection of personally priceless, glued-down objects (such as photographs, postcards, bottle caps, coins, charts, baseball cards, buttons) with multiple, thin layers of crystal clear protection. To make objects appear to float beneath the surface, embed them between coats. Just remember to seal delicate things (like photos) that the epoxy might damage, in an alternate clear coat before embedding them in the TableTop Epoxy. Or, skip the glued-down objects altogether and just coat the flat surface as is. Wait 4-8 hours between coats to get the maximum self-leveling benefit and a crystal clear finish. Almost any horizontal, level surface is fair game. Chart tables, galley tables, cockpit tables, and coasters are just a few of the creative possibilities. No BPA, No VOCs It’s time to skip the noxious fumes and unknown safety of other resin systems. TableTop contains no volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. This means a safer, healthier work environment when you are stirring, pouring, and spreading. And, because the hardener component is BPA-free, Tabletop is more suitable for limited contact with food. Note: we don’t recommend using epoxy for a cutting board, though. Specifications: Application temperature: Apply only in temperatures between 70-80°F. Warm conditions are critical for success. Edge taping: Before mixing the epoxy, contain the liquid epoxy by taping the edges of the top. Packing tape is best because it releases cleanly and easily after the epoxy cures.

Maximum Pour Depths for TotalBoat Epoxy Systems Recommended TotalBoat Epoxies Listed by Project Type TableTop Epoxy Resin Part A SDS TableTop Epoxy Hardener Part B SDS Frequently Asked Questions How does Resin Table Top Epoxy hold up when left out in the sun? Although resistant to yellowing, this product is not recommended for continuous outdoor exposure to UV light, and finishes may slowly lose their gloss or discolor over time if left outdoors. We recommend applying a varnish with strong UV resistance over TableTop epoxy for outdoor applications. Sand cured epoxy with 320 grit before varnishing. How thick can you pour this resin? We recommend doing multiple 1/8″ pours until you get to the desired thickness. Once a coat dries, you can recoat. Does Table Top & Bar Top Epoxy Resin dry clear or does it have a color or tint?

Apply only in temperatures between 70-80°F. Warm conditions are critical for success! What is the total working time and cure time? The total working time will be about 20 minutes at 70°F. Gel time will be about 30 minutes at 77°F, and it will take about 3-5 days for it to be fully cured. How long should I wait between coats? We recommend waiting 4-8 hours (without needing to sand between coats). What is the shelf life? At least one year, as long as it is stored properly. We recommend storing the epoxy at 60°- 90°F in a dry place. After use, tightly reseal all containers. What causes sticky or tacky spots and how can I fix them?
