Suitable for surfaces like countertops and tables once properly mixed and cured.

1. Measure equal parts of resin and hardener (1:1 ratio)
2. Mix thoroughly for 3–5 minutes, scraping sides and bottom
3. Apply a seal coat if working with porous surfaces like wood
4. Pour your flood coat evenly across the surface
5. Use a heat source (torch or heat gun) to remove bubbles
6. Allow epoxy to self-level and cure undisturbed
⏱ Full Cure Time: Approximately 72 hours
🌡 Recommended Working Temperature: 70–75°F

• Always work in a clean, dust-free environment
• Avoid pouring over oil-based paints or stains—this can cause separation or defects
• Seal porous surfaces first to prevent bubbles from escaping into your flood coat
• Mix slowly to avoid introducing excess air
• Use controlled heat to remove bubbles—do not overheat
• Maintain consistent room temperature during curing
💡 Following proper prep and mixing steps will significantly improve your final results

General Questions
What is the mix ratio for Eye Candy Table Top Epoxy?
This epoxy uses a simple 1:1 mix ratio by volume—equal parts resin and hardener.

How long does it take to cure?
You can expect a full cure in approximately 72 hours. The surface may be tack-free sooner, but full hardness takes time.

What temperature should I work in?
For best results, work between 70–75°F. Lower temperatures can slow curing and affect clarity, while higher temperatures can shorten working time.

How thick can I pour this epoxy?
Table Top Epoxy is designed for thin applications such as flood coats, typically around 1/8" per layer.

Application & Results
Why is my epoxy cloudy or hazy?
Cloudiness is usually caused by:
• Moisture contamination
• Low working temperatures
• Improper mixing

Why am I getting bubbles in my epoxy?
Bubbles can come from:
• Mixing too fast
• Pouring on porous surfaces without sealing
• Air trapped in wood

Do I need to apply a seal coat?
Yes, especially on wood or porous materials. A seal coat helps prevent air from escaping into your flood coat.

Why is my epoxy not curing properly?
This is typically caused by:
• Incorrect mix ratio
• Incomplete mixing
• Low temperatures

Can I apply a second coat?
Yes. You can apply another coat once the previous layer has cured or is still slightly tacky.

Surface & Compatibility
Can I pour epoxy over paint or stain?
Avoid oil-based products. These can cause defects such as fisheyes or separation.

What surfaces can I use this on?
Wood, concrete, metal, canvas, and most sealed surfaces.

Is this epoxy food safe?
Yes—once fully cured, it is suitable for surfaces like countertops and tables.

Pigments & Creativity
Can I add pigments to this epoxy?
Yes. It is fully compatible with mica powders, pigment pastes, and dyes.

How much pigment should I use?
Start small and gradually increase until you reach your desired color.

Will pigments affect curing?
Not when used properly. Avoid adding excessive amounts.

Durability & Performance
Is this epoxy scratch resistant?
It is highly durable but not completely scratch-proof.

Is it waterproof?
It is water-resistant and protects surfaces from moisture.

Will it yellow over time?
Designed to remain clear, but prolonged UV exposure may cause slight yellowing over time.

Storage & Safety
How should I store unused epoxy?
Store in a cool, dry place with lids tightly sealed.

Do I need protective gear?
Yes—wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area.

Is this safe to use indoors?
Yes, when used in a properly ventilated space.
