Bar & Table Top Epoxy 1:1 Ratio
MATERIALS NEEDED:
• Mix and Measure Buckets
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Power Drill and Mixing Sticks
• Notched Spreader, Brush, or Foam Roller
• Butane Torch or Heat Gun
Incomplete and incorrect mixing are the most common causes
of poor results. It will leave uncured, tacky areas on your
project. For best results, mix in one bucket then pour mixture
into second bucket and very thoroughly mix again.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Step 1: The ideal working temperature is around 77°F. Best
results can be obtained at temperatures between 70°F and
85°F, in a clean, dry, dust-free environment. Avoid working in
high humidity. We recommend using this product on a leveled
and flat work surface.
Step 2: Using the Coverage Chart, measure product in
accordance with your intended use. Prepare 1 part Resin A to
1 part Hardener B by liquid volume — not by weight. Pour the
Hardener B first and then the Resin A into a clean, smooth-
sided container large enough to hold all the liquid and allow
room for mixing. Add colorant(s) at this time if desired.
Step 3: The material must be mixed thoroughly for at least 3
minutes. Be sure to scrape the container sides, bottom, and
corners as you mix. Be careful to not whip excessive air into
the mixture. If mixing a gallon or more, use a power drill set to
low speed. For smaller quantities, use stir sticks.
Step 4: Pour the mixed resin onto the surface and distribute
evenly with a notched trowel, squeegee or gloved hand. Brush
or roll the sides and edges of the table top and continue to
pour remaining material to achieve the desired thickness.
Push and drizzle the resin over the project’s sides to flow
evenly for a smooth edge.
Step 5: See Additional Information for guidance to help
eliminate bubbles that have risen to the surface of the resin.
Step 6: For additional thickness pours, the first pour should
still be lightly sticky. On consecutive pours, bubbles may once
again need to be removed. Material will feel hard after 48
hours, light usage requires up to 7 days cure, and a full cure in
30 days depending upon the temperature.
SEAL COAT: Most table top surfaces will take the
epoxy well however, many surfaces may require a
seal coat to prevent air bubbles from rising out and
ruining the surface or edge. Older, more porous pieces
of wood may contain both air and moisture that can
contaminate the epoxy. We recommend first painting
on 2-3 thin seal coats of WiseBond
™
Bar & Table Top
epoxy. Let each thin seal coat dry set before pouring
the final flood coat.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
• This product will work well with wood, glass,
ceramic, stone aggregate, cement, electronic parts
and most metals. Do not use over an oil-based stain.
• WiseBond
™
Bar & Table Top Epoxy should be thin
pours of no more than 1/4 inch.
• To remove air bubbles that have risen to the
surface of the poured epoxy: quickly swipe a
butane torch or a heat gun over the epoxy surface.
Avoid heating any one spot for too long so as to
prevent any distortions in the finished product.
• If you wish to apply paper decals or other objects
under the WiseBond
™
Bar & Table Top Epoxy
surface, those objects need to be sealed and
bonded to the surface with epoxy or craft glue.
• If a second coat of WiseBond
™
Bar & Table Top
Epoxy is required, apply while the first coat is still
lightly sticky. If the first coat has fully hardened,
a light sanding is suggested before the recoat to
allow the second coat to bond with the first coat.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TESTING A SAMPLE PIECE BEFORE BEGINNING
YOUR FINAL PROJECT.
