What if my epoxy freezes during shipment?

Our testing has shown that epoxy freezing for a short period of time is not harmful to the product and will properly cure. You must bring the product back to its natural state. We strongly suggest not storing the epoxy anywhere which could result in freezing for more than a few days.

Returns Policy

You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).

You should expect to receive your refund within 4 weeks of giving your package to the return shipper; however, in many cases, you will receive a refund more quickly. This period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5–10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3–5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5–10 business days).

If you need to return an item, simply contact us at info@promiseepoxy.com so we can process a return request and send you a return label.

International Orders and Returns

There will be no returns accepted for international orders. Additionally, because a shipping forwarder is used for international orders, shipping times may vary and change, as the transit time is longer and is shipping from inventory located in the United States. Shipping/delivery time is never guaranteed on International orders.*

*Please also consider transit time from our warehouse to our shipping forwarder (2–3 business days).

Same-day shipping only applies to orders placed in the United States.

Are the packages insured?

By default, all international shipments are insured. We insure for loss of delivery, damages during transit, and shortfalls (such as if some items are missing). We will need some proof (usually a photo) from the consignee to file a claim. We settle all claims 45 days after the shipment was dispatched. We have to wait for 30 days to make sure that the delivery is not misrouted.

Handling Times

Orders placed before 1pm EST will typically ship same day.

Our standard lead times are two business days for ground packages and two weeks for freight shipments. We know you’re eager to get your order, so if there’s an opportunity to ship your package sooner, we’ll make it happen. While we aim to meet or exceed these timelines, please keep in mind that factors such as order size and shipping destination may affect delivery times.

Unused and unmixed epoxy resins are not waste and may be saved for future projects—tightly sealed in their original containers at room temperature for six months. Reusable tools may be cleaned as outlined above, while disposable tools may be safely disposed of once the resin has fully cured. The fully cured epoxy resin may be disposed of as non-hazardous waste in most municipalities—check your local waste management requirements.

Whether you are bonding, fairing or applying fabrics, the success of the application depends not only on the strength of the epoxy but also on how well the epoxy adheres to the surface to which it is being applied. Three critical steps for surface preparation of any secondary bonding operation.

Surface Preparation: Clean – Dry – Sand

1. Clean – Bonding surfaces must be free of grease, oil, wax, mold release or any contaminants. Use lacquer thinner, acetone or other appropriate solvents to clean surface. Then wipe the surface with paper towels before the solvent dries. Follow all safety precautions when working with solvents.

2. Dry – All bonding surfaces must be as dry as possible for good adhesion. To accelerate drying use a hot air gun, hair dryer or heat lamp. Use fans to move the air if working in confined or enclosed spaces. Watch out for condensation when working outdoors or whenever the temperature of the work environment changes.

3. Sanded – Sand smooth non-porous surfaces with 80-grit aluminum oxide paper will provide a good texture for the epoxy to “key” into. Remember to remove any flaking, chalking, blistering, or old coating before sanding. Remove all dust after sanding.

1) Keep it cool – keep your materials cool and out of the sun, work in the shade whenever possible, and try to work when it’s cooler.

2) Test mix a small amount – you’ll get a good feel for the amount of working time/pot life you have if you test mix a small batch first.

3) Substrate temps matter too – the temperature of the material to which you’re applying epoxy matters too, as it will heat up the polymer.

4) Your temp matters too! Keep yourself as cool as possible and hydrated when working in the summer heat and take breaks as needed.

5) And for those of you addressing boating or other nautical applications using marine grade epoxy resin, use a slow hardener for warm weather as it cures best at 80°F.

Epoxy resin functions best in cooler temperatures of about 75°F (22 °C). So if you can work in a climate-controlled environment, you’ll get better results. Significant increases in temperature of 15°F–20°F (10°C) can easily halve the working and application times of the polymer. Another quick tip when working in sunlight, be sure to mix your resin in plastic containers and not metal. Plastic will help keep the materials cooler.

If your product has a cloudy finish, you can use a multi-purpose clear gloss finish/sealer. Start by placing your project in a cardboard box in a well-ventilated area. The working conditions should be less than 75% humidity.

Alternatively, you can do a seal/flood pour on top and brush it on with a grey foam brush. Make sure to let it dry for at least 24 hours. This will add a clear glass-like finish.

Cold temperatures can affect epoxy resin in several different ways:

Curing time: More frigid temperatures slow down the curing time for the epoxy resin. This may be beneficial if you are looking for a longer working time, but it also means that your project will take an extended amount of time to complete.

Product viscosity: In cooler temperatures, epoxy does not flow as smoothly. You may notice that the product seems much thicker than usual to pour and mix. If your product or surface is too cold, a self-leveling epoxy may not level properly and leave you with imperfections like fisheyes.

Humidity Problems: When you’re working in colder temperatures, increased humidity in the atmosphere may also affect your project. You may get moisture settling on the uncured epoxy which can lead to blushing, surface defects, or reduced shine/gloss.

Don’t worry if your epoxy has traveled through cold areas to get to you. Be sure to acclimate your epoxy back to the proper temperature (75°F) before use.

Once the entire surface is sealed, wait 4–6 hours to pour the flood coat. Do not exceed 10 hours or you run the risk of the flood coat not blending into the seal coat flawlessly.

You can add multiple flood pours. Each flood coat self-levels at approximately 1/8” thick. If depths thicker than 1/8” are desired multiple coats are necessary. You must wait at least 4–10 hours between flood coats. The epoxy will still be tacky so the next pour will stick to it.

If you wait more than 10 hours, you must scuff up the surface lightly with 222–300 grit sandpaper then wipe it clean with denatured alcohol or acetone before applying another coat. Just minor scuffing of the surface is all that you need to do so the next flood coat has some grip to stick to.

The best way to apply the flood coat is to start on one end and pour the resin the entire length of the surface, zigzagging as you go. After you are finished pouring, set the container down. Do NOT try to scrape anything else out of the bucket. Because you are pouring about three times the amount of product you did with the seal coat, the material will immediately start to flow out. However, you will still want to use a rubber squeegee or foam brush to help guide the material around. The less you use the brush, the better.

As long as the product is still mixable (i.e. not cured), it is still viable for use. The mixing process should thin out the discoloration, making viable epoxy resin for your use. Please also keep in mind that when mixed with pigments tints or dyes no yellowing will be noticed. All epoxies with time do yellow. However, when used it will cure just as it did the first time you used it.

First let’s take note as to why this happened.

Reason -1- under-mixed – Mixing is a crucial part of the project. Mixing of the product should be done by hand with a clean stir stick. The more product you are mixing, the longer it will take to achieve a complete mixture. One gallon of the mixture takes approx. 4–5 minutes of mixing. Two gallons of mixture take approx. 6–7 minutes of mixing. Timing this with a watch is a good idea. While mixing make sure to scrape the sides and the bottom of the container to avoid under-cured epoxy. Be sure to push thoroughly down with the stir stick or, you can end up with areas that are hard/dry with other areas that are sticky or tacky that will not harden.

Reason -2- inaccurately measured – If you have measured and mixed your resin correctly, this problem will not occur. You must follow the strict 1-to-1 ratio by volume. Do not guess or eyeball these measurements. Just dumping the product from their original containers is not a proper measurement. It must be measured with reasonably precise accuracy using a graduated tub.

Don’t worry – you can fix this!

Epoxy that remains sticky after the curing time will stay sticky unless the following measures are taken to repair the situation.

1. Scrape off the wet epoxy

You will have to start by scraping off all of the wet epoxy.

Don’t worry – your project or art underneath will not be disturbed. Be sure all the liquid epoxy is removed before you pour your coat of fresh Epoxy on top. If you do not scrape off the wet epoxy, this could result in leaking under the new Epoxy coat. Wipe with denatured alcohol.

2. Sand your project (finish it off with 222–230 fine sand grit paper)

You’ll want to sand the entire piece, next. Be sure to include the cured patch, if you needed to patch any holes or gaps. After sanding, wipe off any dust from the entire surface. (wipe it off with denatured alcohol or acetone)

The object is to create a layer that the new epoxy can adhere properly to.

Don’t be worried if it looks like a mess at this point—when you pour the second coat, it will look as good as new!

3. Pour The Second Coat (pour 1/8″new flood coat)

Be sure that your first coat is 100% cured and go ahead and pour your second layer.

We recommend using our epoxy within 6 months of purchase.

Store your epoxy resin and hardener at room temperature and keep it closed and in its original container to prevent contamination. With proper storage, resin and hardeners should remain usable for up to 6 months after opening. After lengthy storage, mix a small test batch to assure proper curing, before using.

Hardeners may darken with time, but physical properties are not affected by color. If clear finishing, be aware of a possible color change if very old and new hardeners are used on the same project.
