How It Works
UltraClear Epoxy is a two part, clear polymer coating that is mixed at a 1 to 1 ratio.
1. Pour an equal amount of hardener and resin into a container.
2. Mix thoroughly.
3. Pour epoxy onto your surface. Watch videos below.
YES, It's That Easy!
Specifications
1 Gallon Combined of Epoxy = 1/2 gal. Resin + 1/2 gal. Hardener
Flood Coat Coverage: 1 Gallon Combined covers 16 sq.ft at 1/8" thick
A flood coat is simply poured on the surface and it self-levels to 1/8".
Seal Coat: 1 Gallon Combined covers 48 sq.ft. per gallon
A seal coat is a small batch of epoxy that is brushed on in a thin layer to seal any pores in the surface and prevent air bubbles from forming in the following flood coat. Our epoxy is used for both the seal coat and the flood coat. It is the same product that is mixed up in a small container and applied to the surface with a paint brush. This stage is followed by the flood coat , which will flow and self level to 1/8". A seal coat is necessary for porous surfaces such as wood, concrete, cork, granite, tile, bottle caps, pennies, and glass. Surfaces such as copper, stainless steel, laminate, or formica do not require a seal coat.
*When pouring over the Sides and Edges of a table, counter, or bar top, make sure that you purchase extra material to account for spillage over the sides as you will lose material coating them.
**These calculations are not intended to give more than a rough estimate. Precise epoxy needs will vary according to many factors, including application type and surface material.
Application
For wood surfaces, we recommend applying a seal coat of epoxy (same material, just a smaller painted on coat) before pouring the self-level coat. The seal coat is brushed on in a thin layer and is used to seal any pores in the surface and prevent air bubbles from forming in the following flood coat. This stage is followed by the flood coat, which will flow and self level to 1/8". The flood coat should be poured approximately 4-6 hours after the seal coat. Do not exceed 6 hours. Flood coats are applied in 1/8" layers at a time, as many as desired can be applied, however one coat is average for restaurant tables, bar tops, and countertops. Additional coats are used to cover any items, such as memorabilia where you need to build up the epoxy to cover them adequately.
Additional Coats
Additional coats can usually be applied within 4 to 6 hours. If re-coated within this time period, no sanding is necessary between layers. If your previous layer has fully dried, light sanding with 220 or 320 grit sandpaper is recommended to achieve good bonding surface. After sanding, you should wipe down with a solvent, such as denatured alcohol, acetone, or lacquer thinner to remove any impurities from the surface. (do NOT use mineral spirits).
Embedding Pictures
Objects, such as pictures, maps, etc. can be embedded in this product during the pouring process. Most photo quality paper does not require any special preparation; however, sometimes thin paper objects must first be sealed with Elmer's glue or a similar product to prevent the epoxy from fully penetrating the paper and causing it to become transparent.
Embedding Solid Objects (pennies, rocks, corks, shells, bottle caps...)
Glue down items with Elmer's glue. All porous materials should first have a seal coat of epoxy applied. This will prevent air bubbles from occurring in subsequent flood coats.
Working Conditions
For best results the product should be used at temperatures from 75-85 degrees F. The room in which you are working should be clean, dry, and free from dust and insects.
Exterior Applications
Please note that although this product will resist yellowing better than other epoxies, it is NOT 100% UV resistant. Continuous outdoor UV exposure over months or years will cause the finish to lose its gloss and cause gradual changes in color.

Tutorial Videos
Video Below Shows How to Coat a Wood Surface:
When you are covering Wood or Concrete (or other porous surfaces), the product should be applied in two stages. The first stage is referred to as the seal coat. The seal coat is a small batch of epoxy that is brushed on in a thin layer to seal any pores in the surface and prevent air bubbles from forming in the following flood coat. You will use the same epoxy for the seal coat (just mix up a small batch). This stage is followed by the flood coat, which will flow and self level.
The "Seal Coat" is only necessary for wood and concrete surfaces. For all other material, you can skip the "Seal Coat" step.
The table below in the video is made from Color Copper Sheets followed by a coating of UltraClear epoxy.
The following video demonstrates how to properly mix a batch of UltraClear Epoxy.
Making a Penny Bar or Table Top with our UltraClear Epoxy.
Glue down all your pennies first with any type of glue. Make sure the glue is completely dry and then you will paint on a seal coat of epoxy. Wait 4-6 hours and then you can pour the flood coat of epoxy.
Bottle Cap Table and Bar Top Tutorial
How to make a bottle cap bar top or bottle cap table with our UltraClear Epoxy. In the video, you will see that we used the seal coat as our glue to hold down the bottle caps so they are securely fastened to the surface and do not float to the top of the flood coat. Just paint on a thicker seal coat so that it surrounds the bottle caps. Then wait until the next day and you can pour the flood coat. One flood coat is all that is neccessary to coat the bottle caps if you have a raised edge all the way around your surface.
Sticker Bar Top or Table Top
How to make a Beer Sticker Bar Top or Table Top with our UltraClear Epoxy. The same would work for beer labels, decals, and photos. Make sure your items are glued down. For thin material such as paper, maps, magazine articles, we recommend that you apply a coat of elmers glue over the items first to seal them as the epoxy can soak through and discolor them. You may also use a crafter paper coating called Mod Podge that is sold at Walmart or on Amazon.com.

Joe C Verified Purchase 20th Nov 2020
This product is amazing! I had never applied epoxy before and I was a little nervous going into the project. I read the directions at least three times prior to staring the application to ensure I fully understood them. My project was a large custom bar top. I followed the directions exactly as recommended and the bar top turned out beautiful. My friends and family are impressed with the finish as am I. Thank you for making my bar top stand out!

I can promise that I will be ordering this again in the future. It works just as advertised and it has the clarity of glass. I made a crafting table for my wife and she absolutely loves how it turned out. It has a rustic stained wood look and the top is glass smooth and its absolutely beautiful.

First time user. Was a bit apprehensive at first but, i read and re-read the instructions, follow every single step in them and everything turned out great! Now I have beautiful shiny countertops.
Melissa Verified Purchase 27th May 2017
Embedded Shells in a counter top (a rather LARGE one). Product was easy to use. The key is to follow the instructions to the letter. I had to do 7 pours to completely cover the shells. I ran short of product and thank goodness they were here in town. I was able to pick up what I needed and continue my pours in the allotted amount of time. It looks great!
Nick Verified Purchase 6th Aug 2016
I recently used his epoxy to make a penny bar top. The product was very easy to use and the directions were very thorough. I had called customer service a few times before using the product and it was EXTREMELY helpful. They answered any and all questions and concerns I had about the product. The finished bar is beautiful and we've gotten many complements and even recommended to product to a few of our friends who wanted to complete similar projects and thier own homes.
