It is a liquid plastic that becomes solid when resin and hardener are mixed. It can be colored and molded into any desired shape. Epoxy resin grades differ in terms of the maximum possible pouring height per casting operation as well as the additives they contain.

The most popular applications are epoxy floors for interior and exterior use. It’s also popular in industrial warehouses and stores.

You can also use it for coating tables, countertops, and other furniture as well as boat building, mold making, and all repairs. It is also suitable for art and jewelry.

To polish epoxy resin surfaces, it is best to use a special polish such as the EPODEX POLISH. This contains ultra-fine abrasive particles that give the surface a glossy shine.

The mixing ratio for our kits is 2:1 (e.g., 64oz resin: 32oz hardener). We recommend using a scale for precise accuracy.

Always transfer your resin and hardener mixture to a clean mixing cup and mix again until the mixture is streak-free to ensure both components are completely mixed together.

The epoxy resin is not hazardous to one´s health after complete chemical curing has occurred. Please note that cuts in the epoxy resin can leave residues on the cutlery. Our epoxy resins are resistant to most chemicals and acids (also present in food). Nevertheless, it may be that components of the cured material, which should not be consumed, are dissolved by acids or the like.

Our epoxy resin kits are scratch-resistant but to increase the resistance to an even higher level we recommend applying a PU (polyurethane) varnish to the surface once the epoxy has fully chemically cured.

Our Flooring Kits are slip-resistant however to increase the resistance to an even higher level we recommend adding Micro Glass Beads to the epoxy mixture. This product can be found under the Accessories tab and creates a more abrasive surface.

Yes, all epoxy resins once fully chemically cured are waterproof and chemically resistant.

Products formulated without the addition of UV stabilizers will turn yellow over time. The world's clearest epoxy resin grades currently on the market are EPODEX PRO and PRO+.

Sand with a grit between 800 and 2000.

All our kits have a maximum heat-resistance temperature of 140°F. Higher temperature resistance can only be achieved by annealing, which means that you place the castings in the oven starting at 140°F and increase the temperature accordingly at intervals. In this way, you achieve a higher heat resistance.

If you work with metallic & mica powders and want to draw patterns, it is very important that you control the gelling time so that the drawn patterns and powders do not sink as metallic & mica powders are heavier than the resin and hardener mixture. The gelling time depends on the three factors (reactivity, casting volume, temperature) as well as how much time the mixture spends inside the mixing jug. If you work with the Coating & Sealing Kit or the Art Resin & Crafting Kit the gelling time is usually within the first two hours after mixing, depending on the volume and temperature of the cast. The gelling time for the Deep Pour & Casting Kit is usually within the first 6 hours, again depending on the volume and temperature of the cast. We recommend drawing your patterns on a regular basis if the mixture can be processed. This way you will be sure to get the desired pattern.

Our epoxy resin kits are not pre-colored or pre-mixed. Our products are DIY and easy to use. Mixing instructions and our coloring guide can be found on each product page.

Unopened containers last 12 months and opened containers last 6 months. If the lid of the container is closed directly after opening, the shelf life after opening is at least 6 months.

If your epoxy resin hasn't cured properly, it means that the chemical reaction between the resin and hardener did not take place. Sticky resin is typically caused by inaccurate measuring, under mixing, or working in cold temperatures. Move your project to a warmer spot. If it does not harden, then remove the resin and pour a fresh new layer.

If liquid resin does not cure, this can be caused by several reasons. In most cases, it is due to an incorrect mixing ratio. The material does not cure if there is no or insufficient cross-linking between resin molecules and hardener amines.

Likewise, excessive humidity or contamination with other substances can cause the chemical reaction to subsequently fail. Please follow our instructions for use carefully and always remember to transfer your mixture to a clean mixing jug and remix before applying to your surface. This ensures the components are properly mixed together.

If the material has not yet hardened, adding heat is beneficial as it will cause the bubbles to rise to the surface. You can therefore use a hair dryer or heat torch, for example, and apply heat to your epoxy resin project at a slight distance. If the resin has already cured, the bubbles can no longer be removed.

Removing the uncured epoxy is essential. Use a putty knife to scrape it off. Any leftover residue can be removed by sanding or using Denatured Alcohol.

This is called amine blush. It forms when moisture encounters uncured material. You can easily sand it down and then polish the resin back up. To bring your surface to a high gloss, use our sandpaper, found under the equipment tab. Start with a grit of P100 and gradually sand up to a P3,000 grit. If you wish, you can also sand up to a P10,000 grit until you have achieved the desired effect. Finally, polish your surface with EPODEX resin polish found under the equipment tab.

This is caused by poor inadequate sanding techniques. If the surface is not smooth, the polish will settle in the sanded layer causing the cloudiness.

Sanding between layers is optional.

The minimum time limit to further cast for each kit is as follows:
Coating & Sealing Kit: 6 hours at 70°F
Art Resin & Crafting Kit: 12 hours at 70°F
Deep Pour & Casting Kit: 72 hours at 70°F

There is no maximum time limit to further cast.

No, the epoxy resin must be properly mixed in the correct ratio. A scale must also be used for precise accuracy. This is the key factor in generating great results. If the ratio is not precise the epoxy will not harden.

The best way to mix the resin and the hardener components is to use a stirring rod which is flat on the sides. This allows you to reach the material that sticks to the bottom and sides when stirring.

Crystallization is the natural solid state of a product and resins, and hardeners can all experience crystallization. It primarily occurs with two-component systems and crystallization does not mean you have defective material. Crystallization occurs when the A component is exposed to extremely cold temperatures.

How to de-crystallize?
Always check for crystallization in your Resin A-component before you begin working. It is possible that when the Resin A-component is first opened there are no signs of crystallization. To check simply, pour a little resin A-component into a mixing cup.

1. If detected, place the containers in a water bath with boiling water (100°C) with the lids on. Container sizes will affect the length of time needed for de-crystallization. We recommend turning the sealed A-components in the boiling water every 2 minutes until every side has been heated.
2. Stir resin including container sides and bottom thoroughly to ensure all crystals have been melted and that heat has been evenly distributed.
3. If crystals are still present continue the process until there is no evidence.
4. Let the epoxy cool down to room temperature and then proceed to use as normal.

(Note: The treatment with boiling temperatures doesn’t damage the epoxy or impact its properties. The Resin A-component will also not cure as it hasn’t been mixed with the Hardener B-component.

In the case of heavily crystallised epoxy, it can take up to 1 hour in boiling water to de-crystallize the A-component. Please contact us before using your epoxy if you have any doubt.
