- Simple Instructions for Using TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy
- 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.
- Faster cure time for coating and shallow-depth embedding projects
- Simpler 1:1 mix ratio (ThickSet is 3:1)
- 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
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!
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
The maximum single-layer depth for TotalBoat TableTop Epoxy is 1/8"-1/4".
TotalBoat ThickSet Epoxy Advantages
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.

This epoxy is exactly what I was looking for and did the job exactly as expected. Super clear and made my projects pop and the price is crazy. Extremely affordable, easy to use and clean up afterwards. Will be ordering from Total Boat going forward.

When my customer wants a hole filled in epoxy resin or a river running through a table top, I always reach for Totalboat table top epoxy resin. It mixing well together and with color pigments. I am very happy with this product and my customers are too.

Getting it mixed compared to some of the "cheaper" epoxies I've tried is like the difference between room temperature and cold honey. It loosens up with mixing and coloring agents, but it does seem to produce a better product and a little less bubbles, however you need a little extra vigilance as the bubbles do rise later than the other epoxies I've used. For those who do small projects like myself, smaller squeeze bottles like ketchup bottles, must be tight caps, do wonders instead of pouring from a large bottle and almost eliminate drips. Non pro tip right there.

The product is okay. The microscopic instructions made things somewhat difficult. There's plenty of room to use a larger font. The instructions and those that I got from tech support were terrible and just plain wrong. The room, at 75 ,reduces the working time to about ten minutes. The method for coating a rolled edge was altogether wrong. Thank heavens for YouTube.

This is so easy to mix and work with even though you have 20 minutes from the start of mixing the epoxy and hardener together. I did a countertop for my dad's kitchen and it turned out FLAWLESSLY!
