1 - MEASURE

Pour 3 parts resin and 1 part hardener by volume into a clean mixing cup (DO NOT mix more than 1 total gallon of material at a time).

2 - MIX

Stir for 2-3 minutes to mix thoroughly. Pour into a clean mixing cup and stir for another 2-3 minutes.

3 - POUR

Pour slowly, to minimize air bubbles. Use the spreader to help level out the layer. The maximum single-pour depth is 1" for large pours, and 2" for casting in small molds.

Step pouring additional layers: Wait until the previous layer is cool, but still soft enough to indent with a fingernail, and pour the next layer of ThickSet directly on top.

IMPORTANT!

• Multiple, step pours are recommended, rather than one thick coat, which will generate excessive heat, distorting the surface.
• Do not place items hotter than 125°F on the cured surface.
• Not designed for continuous UV exposure. If the item will be used outdoors, the cured surface must be coated with a UV-filtering varnish to prevent yellowing and fogging.

Should I Use TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy or TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy?

Both of these epoxies give you beautiful results for crystal-clear coating, casting, embedding or encapsulating projects. However, TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy is more of a 'coating' epoxy, and TotalBoat ThickSet epoxy, is more of a 'casting' epoxy designed for thicker pours.

TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy Advantages

• Requires fewer pours to achieve final thickness of 1/2" and more
• Reduces possibility of banding (ability to see individual layers)
• Gives you longer working time at room temperature

Designed for thick casting, ThickSet allows you to do deeper single-layer pours than you can do with TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy. For example, you can pour a single layer of TotalBoat ThickSet 1/2"-1" deep when pouring into large areas or molds, and up to 2" deep when pouring into small molds.

TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy Advantages

• Faster cure time for coating and shallow-depth embedding projects
• Simpler 1:1 mix ratio (ThickSet is 3:1)

The maximum single-layer depth for TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy is 1/8"-1/4".
