SEAL COATS: For porous surfaces, a sealer coat of a WATER-BASED clear coat or thin
coat of Glaze Coat prior to a flood coating is recommended. Certain woods with open
grains such as oak and walnut will allow air to escape causing bubbles. Porous fabrics,
papers or concrete should follow these steps as well. Mix about ¼ the amount normally
used for a full flood coat and spread it thinly over entire surface. THIS WILL SEAL AIR
PASSAGES. Allow to cure approximately 4-5 hours at 70 °F before applying second coat.
See Step 5 for reapplication and cure times.
DRIPS: Before pouring, protect the sides and edges of the surface area of item being
coated with painters or masking tape. After Glaze Coat has stopped self-leveling,
remove the tape before curing is complete. Drips may be scraped with a putty knife
about 30-40 minutes after pouring, or they may be
sanded or trimmed after completely curing.
MEASURE/MIX/POUR:
STEP 1: MEASURE
Pour equal parts each of resin and hardener into
separate clean, containers. Mix MUST be a one-to-one
ratio (by volume), meaning equal parts resin and
hardener.
STEP 2: MIX
First step: Pour the Hardener (Side B) into the
container with Resin (Side A) and thoroughly mix for
six minutes.
Mix with a stir stick using gentle, steady revolutions.
Scrape all sides and the bottom of the container with
your stirring stick as you mix.
Second step: Now, pour the Resin and Hardener
mixture into a clean mixing container and thoroughly
stir for an additional six minutes OR until temperature
reaches 90 °F (32 °C).
* It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT to allow mixture
to sit (or it will harden), overheat and become hot to
the touch.

When the hardener and resin are first poured
together, the initial mixture appears hazy.
STEP 3: POUR
Pour Glaze Coat IMMEDIATELY onto the center of the surface to be covered. You have
about 10-15 minutes working time after Glaze Coat is completely mixed before product
begins to harden.
Spread the mixture evenly over the area with a plastic spreader/plastic
squeegee/notched trowel/brush.
Don't over spread the mixture as it sets up, otherwise it will not self-level during the
curing action. Do not pour more than 1/8” thick in an application. Mix only as much as
