HIGH BUILD EPOXY COATING
FAMOWOOD GLAZE COAT|USA/CAN/MEX/AU/NZ|Rev 17 – Effective:12.30.19 Approved: TMorgan(12/30/19)/MStark (6.13.19) /EDavis (2/15/19) Page | 6
• LIQUID DYES, FOOD DYES & WATER-BASED INKS: Produce a semi-transparent
coating when using in thin coat applications (approx. 1/8” and under).
• ACRYLIC/WATER-BASED PAINT: Acrylic and water-based pigments can be
used. Some disperse better than others. Color saturation is dependent on the
color and brand used. Water-based paints sometime produce more bubbles
due to the water throughout the mixture.
• SOLVENT-BASED STAINS: The addition of solvent-based stains normally
produced a dark, translucent to opaque coating.
COLORANT TYPES NOT RECOMMENDED
• POWDER PIGMENTS: Not recommended as the powder does not dissolve well.
• CONCRETE LIQUID DYES: Not recommended.
• METAL OXIDE PIGMENTS: Some colors may not be compatible.
DIRECTIONS FOR UNICORN SPIT:
1. Measure and Mix Glaze Coat as directed.
2. Add drops of undiluted Unicorn SPiT to achieve desired color. DO NOT use
more than 1-part Unicorn SPiT to 5-parts epoxy. Remember…A tiny bit of Unicorn
SPiT goes a long way.
3. If multiple colors are desired, gather smaller containers to work with in
advance. Measure, mix, and pour Glaze Coat epoxy immediately into smaller
containers and add Unicorn SPiT.
4. Pour tinted epoxy onto project. For best results, a pour thickness of no more
than 1/16” is recommended.
5. Follow epoxy pouring, curing and clean-up instructions.
FOLLOW UP:
• Surface Care – Once Glaze Coat is thoroughly cured, wax or polish may be applied to
restore fresh, new luster and help hide minor blemishes. Test small area to ensure
compatibility. If surface is marred (deep scratches, cigarette burns, etc.), lightly sand
entire surface ensuring all discoloration is removed. Wipe clean with a cloth dampened
with alcohol or acetone. DO NOT use a tack cloth. After surface is ready, re-coat with
Glaze Coat. Do not use bleach to clean surface.
• Heat Resistance – Items/objects cooler than 120 °F place on surfaces that have been
Glaze Coated without any problems. Otherwise, distortion may occur. Always use a
coaster or hot pad on surfaces where Glaze Coat has been applied.
• Glaze Coat is pliable. It may dent if something heavy is left on it for an extended
period. Once the item is removed, the dent will gradually disappear.
• Product Storage – Store in dark place. Do not store above 95 °F.
• Shelf life – 2 years (unopened).
