Consumer CraftEpoxy Guide

Consumer Craft Epoxy GuideEpoxy resins are a combination of two liquid chemicals thatwhen mixed together produce a durable plastic. They are easilymolded into different shapes and can also be used as protective ordecorative coatings, such as on tabletops. Consumer craft epoxies,specifically, are odorless, self-leveling, and do not require a primer.This type of epoxy has superior physical properties that allow it toform a clear finish quickly and easily. Many artists and craftsmenrely on consumer craft epoxies to create a variety of visuallyappealing and functional projects.www.coppsindustries.com 800.672.26222

Consumer Craft Epoxy GuideThe Different Types ofConsumer Craft EpoxiesUltra clear epoxies are a popular type of epoxy resin that works well in a varietyof applications. They have numerous benefits, including high durability, simplemix ratios, glossy finishes, excellent blush resistance, and excellent adhesionproperties. There are two major types of ultra clear epoxy: table top epoxy andcasting epoxy.Ultra Clear Table Top EpoxyAs the name implies, table top epoxy works best when poured over a flatsurface. It is a self-leveling type of epoxy typically intended for pours of1/4’’ or less in thickness. Pour thickness varies according to the needs ofeach application; however, embedding a thick object often requires severalapplications and many hours of dry time. Table top epoxy’s main advantagesover casting epoxy include a faster curing time of 12-24 hours and higherviscosity of 4,000-6,000 cP.Since table top epoxy has a recommended epoxy-to-hardener mixtureratio of 1:1, it is easy for beginners to use. This type of epoxy is usedby commercial restaurant chains, contractors, and DIY users forapplications such as restaurant table tops, bar tops, countertops, andother artistic projects.www.coppsindustries.com 800.672.26223

Consumer Craft Epoxy GuideUltra Clear Casting EpoxyCasting epoxy is also referred to as deep pour resin and is used inapplications requiring a thick pour of up to 2’’ in thickness. Casting epoxyfeatures a lower viscosity than table top epoxy, which can be an advantagein certain applications. For example, if you’re encapsulating an object, a lowviscosity epoxy allows for easier pouring and ensures that all features of theobject are surrounded. Casting epoxy cures at a slower rate than table topepoxy, typically taking between 24-36 hours. Since curing takes so long withthis type of epoxy, users have a long working time. However, it is importantto ensure no dust or debris falls into the resin before it has fully set.The typical mix ratio of a casting epoxy is 2:1 epoxy-to-hardener makingit easy to proportion and mix. Ultra clear casting epoxies feature a lowviscosity of 600-800 cP and are a great choice for applications where a longerworking time is desired. Casting epoxy is commonly used by woodworkersand artists to create jewelry, river tables, and other large castings.www.coppsindustries.com 800.672.26224

Consumer Craft Epoxy GuideApplications of ConsumerCraft EpoxiesCommercial-grade craft epoxies can be used in many applications whereencapsulating or coating an object in a durable clear coating is desired.Some of the most popular applications among professionals and artists include: Bar and table tops. These epoxies are ideal for restaurant and bar end usersthat want to quickly create a high gloss finish on their surface. Using epoxiesin these applications has the additional benefit of protecting and refiningthe underlying wood finishes. When working with a porous material, epoxiesadhere strongly, coat evenly, and bring out the natural beauty of the wood. Casting resins. Casting resins work ideally to create a clear encasing orsuspension for memorabilia or objects such as dried flowers or coins.This type of resin is thinner, with a water-like consistency, and functionswell in thicker pours. River tables. Craft epoxies can be used to create trendy and aestheticallypleasing river tables, which feature a channel of resin running throughout thelength of a table’s surface. These designs are highly flexible as various pigmentscan be mixed into the epoxy to add a pop of color to the finished product.Other ways in which consumer craft epoxies are used include the creation ofmosaics, encapsulating objects in place, and on the surface of a piece to preventpeeling or shedding. Craft epoxy’s hardness and durability make it an excellentchoice for adding a protective and easy to clean sealant to surfaces. There arecountless ways that people can get creative using consumer craft epoxies tocreate new products.www.coppsindustries.com 800.672.26225
