Table top epoxy resin is a type of epoxy coating specifically formulated for surfaces like tables, countertops, bar tops, and other flat surfaces. It's known for its durability, high-gloss finish, and crystal-clear appearance. Below is a detailed overview:
What Is Table Top Epoxy Resin?
Table top epoxy resin is a two-part mixture (resin and hardener) that cures to form a strong, clear, glass-like surface. It's designed to be poured onto flat surfaces in a thick layer, typically 1/8 inch (3mm) per pour, but can be layered to build up thickness.
