Bar & Table Top Epoxy vs. Deep Pour Epoxy
One is a hard, glossy top coat. The other is made for thick, crystal clear pours. Here's how they differ and when to use each, or both.
Side by side comparison
| Bar & Table Top Epoxy | Deep Pour Epoxy Extreme | |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | A protective top coat for bar tops, tables and countertops | Thick pours: river tables, live edge fills, castings and embedded objects |
| Pour depth | 1/8 inch per flood coat. Add coats every 4 hours, up to 1 inch | Up to 1 inch per layer, with 12 to 24 hours between layers |
| Mix ratio | 1:1 resin to hardener | 2:1 resin to hardener |
| Coverage | 14 to 16 sq ft per gallon as a flood coat, about 48 sq ft as a seal coat | A 1.5 gallon kit fills about 360 cubic inches (10 sq ft at 1/4 inch) |
| Hardness | Shore D 98, our hardest, most scratch resistant finish | Cures slightly softer, so finish surfaces with a Bar & Table Top coat |
