WiseBond Table Top Epoxy Resin 1 Gallon Kit, Made in USA, Food Safe Bubble Free, Anti-Yellow UV Resistant, Clear High Gloss, 2 Part 1:1 Mix Ratio, DYI Bar Tops, Countertop Surface Coating

For a first timer it went well. Product levels well and makes for beautiful finish. Be sure your wood is dry.

I have tried a lot of different brands of epoxy some costing twice as much or more. Wisebond tabletop is by far the clearest and all around just prettiest epoxy I have found. It a little bit thick, more viscous, than a lot of brands which reduces your working time. You will get used to that very quìckly. Bubbles aren't a problem as they release easily. I haven't notice any yellowing although I normally use dark colors and I have been using wisebond exclusively pretty much for two years. If I am spending ⁸ than $200 I buy from Amazon for the free shipping. Over $200. I buy directly from Wisebond as free shipping kicks in at $200 and you can usually find a discount code. I try to keep some on hand all the time. I highly recommend it.

I’ve used this brand for approximately 2 yrs now. Very good! No yellowing and very quick set! I will recommend!!

We have tried several brands of resin and this is our favorite. The quality and price work very well for our projects. The delivery is always quick and the packaging is great. We've never had any issues with it at all.

First time using Epoxy and I really liked this 1.1 ratio for my bar top. After looking at various videos I found that for the best results, you should use a water based stain, not oil. If you use oil base then you will need to put a coat of polyurethane on first as the seal coat. Tape off edges and any holes really well before pouring as the epoxy will find a way to seep through, then you will end up with mess on the floor. MIXING both the "A and B" according to direction to the "T" is a MUST.Torching the air bubbles out it also a must. Just dont touch the board after it starts to gel as it will leave marks that only sanding will fix.

**UPDATE**It turns yellow! So mad going to have to redo my table. This is an inside table that has no direct sunlight.I have bought this brand twice now and I love it. So far I haven't had any curing issues. I initally bought it for a table top but used it on several othe small projects to get a feel for it. All of my small projects (tumblers, candle holders, vase) turned out great. Really clear, no bubbles, no fish eyes. Works great with alcohol inks wheater you are dripping it on or mixing the ink into the resin. I finally got brave and did a thin inital pour on my table. It turned out AMAZING no bubbles, self leveled wonderfully. Lightly sanded and poured a second thicker final coat same results, beautiful. In between my two purchases of wise bond I did purchas a different brand. It was a little less in price and it had good reviews. It was terrible! Tumblers had fisheyes, the same candle holder I had made previously never cured and were a sticky mess. I went back to wise bond and plan to keep using. Wish it was a little less expensive though.

If I could leave zero stars I would have! We purchased the 2 gallon set and as per the instructions we mixed the 1:1 ratio for each gallon 3 minutes then poured both into a new clean container and mixed together for 1 additional minute. The instructions couldn’t be any clearer and we followed them exactly. Before we even had half our counter covered the mix had turned to a solid gooey mass and heated the bucket to the point it burned my husbands hands. We have spent 4 days prepping our old tile countertops. We cleaned, sanded, removed any old caulking, applied a primer coat, applied versabond and sanded, applied levelquik and sanded again. Used a white primer paint to get the effect we wanted and then this. Now the dream counter top we worked so hard to create will have to be sanded again and we will have to purchase new epoxy and start again. I can promise you we will go with the brand I should have purchased in the beginning. And just a note to the manufacturer - if your product can’t combine 2 gallons (after mixing and following your instructions to the letter) DO NOT SAY IT CAN BE AND HAVE INSTRUCTIONS STATING YOU CAN!!!!! The time, energy and money we have spent (not to mention the tears now over this) on this is ridiculous.The photo of the bucket is what happened within 20 minutes of us starting to pour it. The second photo is the morning after were the entire piece we were able to somewhat pour completely lifted off.

It's thinner than what I was using, but has so many fewer bubbles! I love that it's made in the USA. It mixes easily and as you can see the results are amazing!
