How Much Epoxy Do I Need? Our rule of thumb regarding coverage is 12 sqft per mixed gallon at 1/8 inch. Family Owned Business, Made In USA. One mixed gallon covers approximately 12 sq.Coverage must include surfaces, edges, and an extra 2% for run off on the edges. Although it is not possible to address every type of surface the following is a generic guideline: Bare wood should be sealed with a thin coat of epoxy, decoupage articles should be tested for color fastness prior to application. When re-coating an existing coating the coating should be scuff sanded and cleaned with a cleaning solvent. Denatured Alcohol or Isopropanol 99% are recommended. Be sure that the surface and the epoxy to be mixed are at the same temperature.
Mixing is the most important part of the project. Improper mixing will cause soft or tacky spots in the surface. First be sure you are preparing to mix containers of Hardener and Resin, believe it or not mistakes happen, check the labels.
Graduated mixing containers are recommended for measuring and mixing. Hand mixing with a paint type stir stick is recommended, mixes should not exceed 1.5 gal.
Continual mixing including sweeping the sides and bottom of the mixing container while mixing should take approx. The product may cloud a little during mixing but will clear as mixing nears completion. It is important to mix without inducing air. After mixing is complete, allow the mix to stand 3-5 minutes and remix for approx. The completed mix should then be poured into a separate container for the final pour. The reason for this is that no matter how complete the mix is, there are unmixed portions on the sides and bottom of the mixing container.Epoxy is self leveling, therefore the surface must be level for uniformity. The epoxy may be poured on the surface and spread with a plastic hand squeegee or a dust free foam brush. It is not recommended to apply more than 1/8 in.
Thick films are achieved through multiple coats. Once the epoxy is applied to the desired thickness tiny air bubbles will appear on the surface.
The bubbles need to be eliminated by passing the flame of a propane torch systematically over the surface keeping the flame at least 3 inches from the surface. The same technique can be used with a heat gun. It will be necessary to repeat this process until the bubbles stop surfacing. You will now have a glass like surface. Cure times will vary with temperature and thickness.
