2013-02-23DAVID ROBERTSON: I use dish soap and warm water. Do not use a scouring pad. I did and it left a permanant dull spot. The mirror coat leaves a nice gloss but the finish is not at all resistant to hot dishes nor is it hard enough to withstand scrubbing wit an abrasive pad.
2012-10-28MARK GARCIA asked: what is the viscosity of the product? I'm filling cracks in a 4" thick cross section of a tree for a table top. The cracks are at about 3/8 inch thick at the widest and need to be filled prior to surface coating.
+Expand Answers
2012-10-29NACHSHON PELEG: Viscosity is very low, think canola oil consistency. You can use silica to thicken the resin but you'll lose the transparency.
2012-10-29COURTENAY WHEELER: The thickness is about the same as warm honey. I put some on a piece of redwood for a bar top and it took a while for it to fill in the holes, so it did seep into the cracks. There were several holes that were mm's wide that it was able to get into. The table was 8 ft long and 3 feet wide. Not sure how much of the mixture it took due to a boneheaded mistake made, but when finished it looked fantastic.
2012-10-29BRIAN YOUNG: The product after mixing the 2 parts is not much thicker than water. I used it on a bar top constructed of tongue and groove oak planking. There were small knot holes in the planking as well as the joints between the planks. The mixture readily ran through the plank joints and knot holes. The planking was fastened to plywood underneath as a backing and stiffiner. After applying, the larger voids drained through, leaving voids in the surface. A second coat was required. It is very important to thoroughly mix the 2 parts. Areas that were not thoroughtly mixed remained sticky and had to be removed and redone.
2012-10-29CHRIS HAYTER: Mark,
I've used this product on the raceways of a few poker tables I've made. Have not had to fill too big of gaps. This issue I've found with trying to fill gaps in one pour is that you may not get all of the bubbles out of the deep fills. I'd suggest trying to fill the gaps in stages first prior to your final topcoat. This would also help avoid the generation of a dimple in the top coat.

2012-10-29DAN HUBER: The viscosity is thick somewhat that of syrup. I built a table with a nautical map inlay into the tabletop. I learned a valuable lesson that the map reacted to the mirror coat and yellowed the map badly. Next one I built I had the map laminated to prevent the yellowing.
2012-10-19A shopper asked: can this product be used outdoors? if so how does it hold up to weathering?
+Expand Answers
2012-10-22MICK GOLEASH: Depends on what its put over.I have done 4 tables made from wire spools 2 in direct sun get cloudy whitish blotches and crack....two smaller ones on patio are holding up very well.
2012-10-23JOHN SPENCER: I have never used this on anything out side of the protection of being indoors. I also am mildly interested in this and would like to know without the risk of permenantley damaging something. I AM aware of how strong sun damage can be and remain sceptical as to even trying it. If the sun does not damage it thre are also other factors. Raindrops tend to change resin and show up after drying, and rapid changes in temperature may also be a factor. Peace
2012-10-23RONALD VOIGHTS: I can't answer your question about how the outside weather could affect system 3 mirror coat . I used it on a table inside my tugboat and there isn't any sign of degradation. I suspect the mirror coat will live up to its lasting finish, but whether it could delaminate due to expansion miss matched between materials is something to consider. When wood is varnished, this mismatch is not of concern because of the properties of varnish and the thickness of the layer. With mirror coat, expansion rate of the mirror coat could affect bond between it and base material. If system 3 mirror coat is used outside in a climate like in the crib. (constant temp) it should not be a problem.
2012-08-03LYNNE LATHAM asked: I am covering a penny countertop, approx 3 ft by 6ft (actually it will be a little less as it is smaller on the ends). I have to pour a 3/16" depth including the pennies and I'm not sure how much to system 3 to buy?
+Expand Answers
2012-08-13ROBERT DI CARLO: I use System 3 very thinly but a little bit goes a long way,I would buy a quart of each(2part) and go from there.I have nothing but praise for the item.Good luck!!
2012-08-13CHRIS MORELLO: The 1 quart to two quart combo would work fine but I don't see it offered on the site. (Just the 1 pint to 1.5 )
2012-08-13ROGER HEINEN: 6x3x144 =2592 Sq Inches x 3/16 = 486 cu In. There are about 58 CU per QT so 8 to 9 qts should do it. You will not get a perfect QT when you mix these, so the higher amount seems better. Also, you should consider a two pour plan where you secure the pennies and get the initial air out - let it dry and then do the cover-gloss coat. You will not get a good finish coat if there is any trapped air in/around the pennies. A hair dryer or heat gun on low will help remove any bubbles. Read the directions carefully. Mirror Coat is terrific and very forgiving, but you need to follow the directions. There will be quite a bit of heat generated in the epoxy reaction. Take care of any dust as any that is there or gets in will haunt you every time you look at the table.
2012-08-14RONALD VOIGHTS: Not sure how many pennies you want to cover, but if you want to cover the 3 X 6 to a depth of .125 inchs you would need 6 quarts.
One quart covers 58 cubic inches.
2012-08-18JOHN SPENCER: You would have to convert "Length" times"Height" times "Width" to obtain the area. I would make it a quarter of an inch instead of 3/16 to allow for some sort of loss. 36"x62" x .25" . Then check the Square footage area of coverage on the can and convert.
2012-08-18JOHN SPENCER: OOOpppsss. Made an error. 36 x 72 x .25 NOT 36x62x.25
2012-05-15STEVE GILLESPIE asked: My friend and I recently painted the fiberglass deck of his 17' fishing boat, with a metallic spray paint, in an attempt to restore it's looks. It came out better than expected and now we would like to clear coat it. What would be the best product to go over the painted surface with, to achieve a deep, high-gloss, clear coat finish. A clear epoxy resin, polyester resin, this three mirror coat? Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

2012-05-16DAVID WOOD: Steve,
System Three Mirror Coat is designed to be used indoors. It is my understanding that it has no UV inhibitors and will break down if used outside in the sun. Your best bet is to use an automotive or marine clear coat paint that is compatable with the paint that you used on the deck.
Dave Wood
2012-05-16WILLIAM ADAMS: If the boat lives outdoors, it needs a finish with uv inhibitors. A two part varnish system will be the best.
2012-04-15A shopper asked: I have recently taken on the task of restoring a small sailboat from the early 60's. Right now I've stripped all the paint off of the boat and have been sanding the whole boat so that it is down to just the original wood. I don't have any experience in this sort of thing, and would very much appreciate any information that you could throw at me! Here are just a couple of my questions...
What type of stain, sealer, and varnish?
Does the top of the boat require a different finish then the bottom?
What keeps it waterproof?
What is the right sandpaper grit?
How would you recommend filling any cracks, nail holes, and flaws in the wood?
I do have some pictures of my progress and what the boat looks like if that would help.
Thank you for taking the time to read my email and hopefully you can help answer some or all of these questions!

2012-04-17JOEL HEYBOER: hey jeff, you are not going to want to use the mirror coat as a finishing product on the boat. you will want to use some kind of wood putty to fill cracks and holes within reason i recommend famo wood putty from ace. it is dry within 20 minutes and it takes stain. for stain i would use either a water stain or for boats i would recommend the interlux chris craft stain. it is a little labor intense but it really turns out nice. you only need to sand up to either 100 or 120 for the interlux stain. then i would do 2 coats of pettit 2018 clear sealer and then 7 to 10 coats of pettit flagship varnish. sanding with 320 in between coats. be extremely cautious on the first 3 coats not to burn through your stain. eventually you will be able to flat sand your varnish and have a perfect surface. as for paint i would recommend an epoxy paint for below you waterline and iterlux single part brightside for the topside of the boat, assuming it is all painted. the more work you put into getting your surfaces perfect in the early stages the better your final outcome will be. as for waterproofing the boat is meant to seal itself shut through swelling but you can protect the wood from the inside with a bilge paint. i hope that answers some of your questions. good luck with your project.
2012-04-17KENNETH BYRD: Dear Jeff, I don't understand why Jamestown D. has sent my your inquiry since it has not much to do with the product Mirror Coat. Besides that, your questions cover just about everything one needs to know when restoring a wooden boat. There are many, many magazines and complete books written to answer the questions you have. My one piece of advice is not to use stain as that can jeopardize the bond that the coating has with the wood. If the wood is not beautiful enough on it's own coloring, then it is intended to be painted! :) Ken Byrd, Pres. Charleston Yacht Carpentry
2012-03-15JEFF V asked: I would like to restore grayed teak coaming tops [caprails] and then coat with clear epoxy. First, the teak is rough and I think the epoxy will provide a smoother surface. Second, it will hopefully prevent the teak from further weathering. Would this type of product be suitable?

2012-03-16MICK GOLEASH: Jeff, I made 4 outside tables out of electic wire spools and they are holding up very well.To make them smooth and cover the cracks between the boards,I covered them with fiberglass and cloth.One I painted black and put a beer sign and gold coins in.The other shows the wood grain through.With little effort they have a glass like finish.

2011-10-22A shopper asked: can mirror coat be tinted or colored?
+Expand Answers
2011-10-24DAN MIRON: Sorry,
I don't have the answer to that question.
2011-10-24WILLIAM ADAMS: Yes, do a web search for Castin Craft Dye and you'll find all kinds of dye pigment and additives for clear and casting resins.
2011-10-24HAROLD HOEG: I apologize, but I don't know the answer to your question. I would imagine though that since it is essentially a plastic (resin) it would be able to be tinted. I would say acrylic paint would be the best to tint it with as that is plastic as well. If you could spare a small amount, I would definitely test it before you go ahead with your project. I wish I had a more definitive answer for you, but I figured even having someone else to bounce ideas off of could still be helpful, no matter. :)
2011-10-25STEPHEN FRITZ: Yes it can. I know it can be tinted black, I do not know about any other colour but I couldn't imagine why not. I'd call System Three for more help, they were very helpful to me even finding a local distributor as I couldn't have this shipped to Canada.
Used this product on a maple kitchen table. The finish was superb. Super smooth and glossy. waited six full days. Placed a warm, not hot plate on the table and it left a permanant mark. Very gentle use and I am seeing lots of fine scratches already. This stuff is not nearly hard enough.

I do custom woodworks and outdoor combinations.Recently used mirror coat to finish and adhere a elk skull sunk in a stump for a table base.The black pigment made a shinny void the head seamed to melt into and with the clear finsh over everything,well this project went from good to great because of your product,and it couldn't be any easier to use.Can't wait to come up with more custom uses.
