How to use TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy:
Mix resin and hardener (1:1 ratio) in a mixing cup.
Pour out epoxy in an S shape onto the surface. When pouring, fill the lowest part first.
Spread with foam brush or plastic epoxy spreader.
Let sit for 5 minutes.
Move a propane torch or heat tool 6 inches above the surface. Going back and forth across the surface will eliminate air bubbles. Do not leave the torch on one area or it will burn & distort the epoxy
Allow epoxy to cure.
Simple Instructions for Using TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy
Taping the Edges: To contain the liquid epoxy, apply plastic packing tape around the edges of the table. Plastic packing tape is best because it releases easily & cleanly after the epoxy is cured.
Mixing: For best results, use the "2-cup mixing method": Add resin and hardener to the first mixing cup at a 1 to 1 ratio by volume. Stir for 3-5 minutes, then transfer the mixture to a second mixing cup and continue stirring until blended thoroughly. Be sure to use clean tools for mixing and application.
Temperature & Application: Warm conditions are critical for success. For best results, only apply in temperatures between 70-80°F. First, apply a thin seal coat to the surface. After the seal coat has set, apply additional flood coats, up to 1/8" thick. Wait 4-8 hours between each flood coat.
Leveling Tips: Flood coats will self-level but epoxy spreaders and brushes can be used to spread it over the surface.
Recoating: Additional coats may be applied after 4 to 8 hours without sanding or additional prep work. However, if the previous coat cures fully, scuff sand with 220-320 grit sandpaper before applying another coat. After sanding, wipe down with acetone or denatured alcohol to remove sanding dust and let dry before applying an additional coat. Sanding between coats will not adversely affect the cosmetics of the final product—the hazy surface will become clear when the next flood coat is applied.
IMPORTANT!
Multiple, thin pours are recommended, rather than one thick flood coat, because a thick coat can trap air bubbles beneath the surface, and generate excessive heat, which will distort the surface, resulting in an improper cure.
Do not place items hotter than 125°F on the cured surface, or it will discolor and become distorted.
Should I Use TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy or TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy?
Both of these professional quality epoxies give you beautiful results for crystal-clear coating, casting, encapsulating or embedding 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 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".
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.

Is two gallons the largest size you can mail?

We can get 55-gallon drums but they would have to ship by common carrier. To ship UPS, 2 gallon would be the largest size we have.

Is your total boat table top epoxy compatible with liquid and powder tints and 5-minute epoxy used to fill holes?
Mary
Most of life is trial and error. I like to use 2 oz plastic cups to try,After your mixture is thoroughly mixed, add your tint{s}. In order toreproduce the desired color, record the volume or weight of the addedtints. Record the volume of epoxy used. Scale up your recorded amounts forthe amount you need to do the job. My wife has an inexpensive digital scalethat is accuse for even 1/2 gram mounts. Good luck

I have used MIXOL pigments and have been very happy with them. They are an intense non reactive pigment from a German company.Cheers

I am using this product to cover a pine table top tha was stained with iron oxide ( steel wool soaked in vinegar) and black tea. The stain was left to dry 1 week. When I began applying the epoxy I noticed areas around knots in the wood that became " milky". I scraped the epoxy off those areas and it seemed to work but later when working out the bubbles with a heat gun they came back. Since the areas were small and the epoxy began to set I left them to cure assuming I could sand them out. When I began sanding with 220 grit I noticed areas that originally clear began showing white specks (looked like over spray from white paint - no paint was used near this project). The more I sanded the worse it became. I tried a wipe down with acetone but no luck. Temp was 71 degrees Fahrenheit, 60% humidity. Product was mixed for 5 minutes.. what caused the white specks and can it be easily fixed?
Larry
Not sure what the white specks are. Could be tiny air bubbles in the epoxy. Try over-coating to see if they disappear.
JD Tech Team
Mixed 1 to 1 with pumps provided. The epoxy pump was painfully difficult to press. The harder pressed very easily. Poured thin application, 5 days later still tacky.
clarence
Probably because of the epoxy wasn't warm enough.Too thick or cold outsidetemp?
capoequipment
Not sure what pumps you have but we don't have a 1 : 1 pump set. If it was the Tabletop Epoxy you used that is a 1:1 mix, if you used pumps for that and it's not 1:1 ratio, it won't cure. You will need to wipe if off with acetone.

What is the total working time, after thorough mixing?
Kim
Pot time about 10 min @ 75 degrees Working time 20 - 25 min the warmerthe temp the less working time*Sent:* Friday, May 18, 2018 10:46 AM*Subject:* Can you help a fellow shopper?
leroy
I'd say about 10 mins.But that is based on only one use. I would not plan on more than 10 mins.
choppichoochoo
Depends on temperature, but I would guess it's over 1/2 hour.
cozycom
I did not have very good success with this product. However I am positive that was my fault. All I can say is make sure your mix is correct and don't go to thick right off. Mine never hardened all the way and had to sand it all off. I refinished with a product called waterlox which is an amazing product.
danielpate1345
The ambient temperature is the biggest factor concerning working time. If it is 95 degrees, you have about 10 minutes. If it is 60, you have an hour. You can gain more working time by refrigerating the mixture and by keeping the substrate cool. Also, the larger the batch, the quicker it will start to set, so pore it out as soon as possible to avoid premature setting. If you are poring a large area you will need to make small batches and keep them coming. You will need an assistant. Do not reuse the same mixing tools and mixing container because that will shorten the working time.Bruce
ogc
This is a a factor of ambient temperature, temperature of the product, and the volume of epoxy that was mixed. Under most circumstances you should have 30 minutes of working time @ 77 deg. F if you do not keep it sitting in a mixing cup, and you have applied it to a substrate. If you just leave it in a mixing pot, you may only have 10-15 minutes or less (from my experience).

I've used this product on a birch wood counter top and just have one question. What have I done incorrectly to cause sticky spots on the surface??
Chuck
Most likely you didn't mix thoroughly enough. My recommendation is wipe asmuch of it off as possible, clean up the area with acetone, sand and tryanother pour. Epoxy is one of those things that you really cannot skimp onmixing with.
avi
If they are just a few spots, then most likely incomplete mixing of the two components. They do mix poorly and the recommended mixing of (I think ) 3 minutes is absolutely required.
karlseder
Would say two possible reasons:1.. did you mix it fully?2. Was there any resin spots in the birch?Sent from my iPad. Tom swayne
swayne.tom
Hi Chuck, the main cause of sticky spots is not stirring thoroughly enough. Generally what we notice is the bottom corners of the mixing pail does not get stirred enough, and what we have been recommending is to mix in one mixing pot, then pour into a second mixing pot and stir for another 3-4 minutes. This makes it so that any material that was on the bottom of the first pot is now mixed in evenly.

I have a table that is 96" x 40". Will one gallon be enough?
Frank
Coverage is typically 12.8 sq ft for one gallon at 1/8" thick. You would need about 2 gallons.

Is there a shelf life for the TableTop Epoxy?I have leftovers from a year ago, can that still be used or buy new sealed product?
Anne
Yes, it should still be good.
JD Tech Team
Totalboat Tabletop Epoxy: I've tried unsuccessfully to do same thing your video did with placing a chart on a table top with the Totalboat Tabletop epoxy resin over it. Did you secure the chart to the table with a glue or just lay it flat and pour the resin on top of your chart? My chart is waterproof and glue did hold it down very well. While waiting on glue to dry chart wrinkled in a few spots before I even attempted to pour the resin on top. Any suggests to keep chart completely flat and wrinkle free?
Tommy
First glue the chart down to the surface, be sure it is clean and the glue you use will secure it to the table. Then apply the Table Top Epoxy.

Easy to use 1:1 resin. I use it for my sealing my artwork and also creating artwork. It blends well with the pigments I use. Quick cure time. Also great results when using this resin!

Not as good as expected

I used this for a coating on a new bar top. After the fourth coat I gave up on self leveling and tipped the entire surface. Overall the epoxy aerated way to easily, did not release bubbles well and did not self level. All proper steps for preparation and application where taken. As a professional fiberglass worker I use epoxy systems everyday and have had much better outcomes with different ones. Maybe good for small projects but could not recommend for coating a large area.

I'm so happy that I decided to try out TotalBoat resin. I wasn't getting the consistent results I needed from the resin I was using and felt that the quality of it had started to decline with every order I made. I use the resin to create artwork and coasters. I needed the resin to be clear and bubble free in order to produce products I was proud to sell and put my business name on. TotalBoat has provided just that! Clear and consistent results. I love that it cures much faster and harder than others I have tried. I am able to pour several layers in one day without the risk of ruining my project. The bubbles easily rise to the top to produce a glass like surface every time. It also cleanly pulls out of the plastic containers they send you to mix in it so I am able to reduce my waste and save money by reusing the container over and over. Because of the fact it does cure faster than most I am able to clean up the sides and drips from my pieces leaving a clean finished look saving me time and frustration! Do yourself a favor and try out TotalBoat, you won't regret it!
