FAQs
How long does it take to cure?
Deep Pour epoxy will cure in 72 hours.
How much mica powder do I add to the mixture?
Start with a small amount and gradually add more, until you achieve the opacity desired. It is not recommended that you use more than 3 grams of mica powder to each gallon of epoxy.
Can I use Deep Pour for a top coat?
Deep Pour was designed to be finished, therefore, we would recommend that after it has cured, it is covered with our Table Top epoxy, for a high-gloss finish, or that it be sanded and polished for a lower-gloss finish.
Do I need a seal coat?
Yes. We always recommend applying a seal coat when working with wood and other porous materials. The sealcoat will fill the small cracks, crevices and pores in the material, which will eliminate most air bubbles during subsequent pours.
I see that this product can only be poured at a depth of 2”. Can I layer it to achieve a greater depth?
Yes. You can pour additional layers of 2” at a time, once the previous layer has achieved a tacky cure (approximately 24 hours). At this point, the epoxy will have gelled but the surface will be tacky to the touch. For larger projects, limit your depth to 1 1/2” at a time.
Can I pour additional layers of 2” on epoxy that has been fully cured?
Yes, but the previous layer should be sanded lightly with a 220 grit sandpaper and then wiped down with a soft cloth to remove any debris.
Is the epoxy food safe?
Yes, it is! It complies with the standards listed in FDA 21CFR 175.300, for food contact.
Is the epoxy heat and UV Resistant?
Our epoxy products can withstand heat resistance up to120F. It is also UV resistant for indoor and covered patio use, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or for use in full-outdoor applications is not recommended.
