I use an art resin for my art work but it WILL scratch... seems that a 'bar top' epoxy would be made NOT TO SCRATCH and I correct in my thinking?

It will scratch it just won't scratch as easily. I wouldn't use it as a cutting board. But as Bar top finishes go it is excellent.

Seems to hold ok on plastics if allowed to completely dry (at least overnight). For things like stone and metal it doesn't adhere so well. Agitation more so than water itself is the problem (such as rinsing the glued item under running water). Probably better off using 4-minute epoxy, testing an inconspicuous area first to make sure the adhesive doesn't dissolve the items being glued.

If you rough up the Bondo a bit and wipe it down with acetone the epoxy should adhere very well. Thank you.

I do not know if it will scratch the paint or not I've only use them on a aluminum pontoon boat. also on a fiberglass ski boat. they work great on these have never use them on a painted surface.

I would advise you not to do that, and explain why... I bought the clear two part epoxy two coat, which comes with a small baggy of sand that is to be mixed in when mixing the base and catalyst. It adds a very nice sand paper like texture and coats the confetti flakes nicely and prevents them from being dislodged. If you have any more questions or want to see the pictures of my garage, hit me up at badandywsu@gmail.com.

I'm going to guess probably. My molding is slightly damaged from use. I would imagine damage would be worse without any molding. I probably should have put a towel or something between the bar and the molding to prevent wear.

The resin top is very bumpy, not smooth. It really depends on how you want to use table. Resin top not good for writing or dining, but it is very durable.

Yes, I've haven't had any problems using it directly over epoxy primer within the recoat window but in the U-Pol Raptor TDS (Custom Coat is the same thing) it recommends waiting for the epoxy to fully cured and then sanding or scuffing.

If you want the epoxy to go all the way to the edge of your project then some of it will inevitably run off. It has a high surface tension though so it wont all just fall over the edge like water. Pour it close to the edge and in the middle (like in the picture on the box) and then use something to spread it / push it closer to the edge. In order to get all the way to the edge you will probably end up pushing some off, but most of it should stay on top. I would add that I used the exact amount recommended for my square footage (I think it was 64 oz for 9 sq ft) and I wished I had just a bit more. Also if you have any cracks do a pre seal or seal with some polyurethane first as it will leak through. There are some decent youtube videos demonstrating the proper application process as well.

My best guess is yes. If the paint is older it may take longer than is breaks up latex paint. I used it on wood painted50 years ago and at least 4 paint layers. It took the first two off fast. I reapplied it and it seemed to take 2-3x longer but it worked. If you use it i'd recommend a plastic brush vs metal as to not scratch up the metal. On wood i scraped it to bare wood.

I also haven't used this product as of yet. I would ask a paint professional such as Lowes or Ace. They have very knowledgeable people there...or test it on a old piece of wood! I believe that your paint top coat has to be flat paint . Also try YouTube; there is a ton of videos on there! Good luck!

It may work, but I would suggest going to a Jewelry repair. You would be surprised how cheap they will fix your jewelry. This epoxy would most likely make a mess of what you were trying to fix. It has a strong bond, but I would not use it on anything you would want to see.

Robert, the Light tracer is like sturdy plexiglass. While you could certainly cut on top of it, it would permanently scar/scratch the surface.

I just use EasyCast resin. I haven't experimented with any other resins, but it works well so I feel no need. (:

It is not a glue -- and glue/adhesive does not stick it very well -- you might take a look at an epoxy, Bob Smith brand is very good.

I find that painting over laminant is a bit tricky, a good spray paint that will adhere to plastic seems to work the best, cleaning the surface and lightly sanding with a very, very fine grit sandpaper helps, but even still sliding heavy objects across the freshly painted surface may leave scratches. Good luck.

I'm not sure about a table top,but I haven't found it to scratch anything of mine as of yet. The only copper that I used it on, was my stainless steel pots have copper trim on the bottom and center, and it shined them up perfectly! I would probably test a small area first, maybe.
