TotalBoat Table Top Epoxy Resin

I checked out all the different products, read reviews and selected TotalBoat Clear. I was very happy with the outcome. This was the first time I tried an epoxy. My project was a live edge slab of walnut for a bar top between a kitchen and living room. I watched several you-tube videos but was still very nervous about starting my project. I fixed up a room that could be all mine for my project for awhile, knowing it might take me longer than those videos! I had a large hole to fill and thick bark that I needed coated (so no one would pick at it!). I knew small mixes at a time would be best. I taped a piece of plastic under the hole so the epoxy would not run through it. I would always place my epoxy in front of a heater first to warm while I got my gloves and things ready. I started by using small plastic condiment or jello shot cups to measure and put into a plastic cup to stir. I always put the thick part in the mixing cup first, then the thin part on top and stirred in front of the heater for 5 minutes. I first tried the 10 minutes that I saw recommended a couple times in reviews, but that was over-kill. I found it was harder to work on the surface and made my wrist sore! For the hole being about 1 1/2 inches, I probably used 4 fills before I did the hole surface. At the same time that I was filling the hole, I also poured over the bark since it was really rough. I used a brush to get it in the grooves. The blow torch is important - and cool! But what I learned was to go back and look again after you think you got it all. Bubbles seem to work their way up out of nowhere, and I missed some the first go around. Doesn't hurt to fire up the blow torch again! The reviews I saw showed people putting dust covers over the project, but if you do that, you might do it too soon and not see the bubbles. Use a toothpick to get any dust out of the surface. I also learned to continually go back and scrape the drips underneath, and here was how I was trying to get the epoxy up into the bark edge from underneath. So I didn't use a dust cover, I just closed the door and didn't let anyone in! I did make a mistake by sanding the bubbles I missed. It left the fine residue in the pits. I tried to vacuum and blow out the sanded particles, then I tried to pick them out with a pin, but I couldn't get it all out. Made me sick, but they are very small and most people might not notice. So I stress for you to keep checking on your project for the 1st hour or so and use the torch! After the top was complete, I could feel a small area with a bit of a rough edge underneath, and the last thing I wanted was someone trying to pull the bark apart from underneath. So I flipped the top over and made up one last small batch and smoothed out the edge on the bottom. I am thrilled with the bar top. It was a bit of work, but was well worth it. This product mixed well and is a nice hard clear coating.

I bought this for practice boards. It really works great, has a beautiful finish. Easy to use and directions we clear.

Still my favorite! I have pieces resined years ago with this resin that still look like it’s the day after it cured. This resin withstands the elements and is durable. The color stays true over time. I reordered this recently and it’s still the quick curing, easy to mix and pour resin I remember. With a heat gun you won’t have bubbles. If you make a mess it will be harder to clean than other brands but it’s worth it!

I normally use stone coat epoxy for my countertop builds but I thought I would try this to save some money. I read reviews that said there is no difference..... that's not true. This is a good epoxy but it is not as fluid as stone coat. It also has alot less working time. I tried to do a sample board the way I usually do and could not move the colors the way I wanted. It seemed thicker and less fluid. The final product looks awesome but I did not like the 20 min from mix working time or the thickness of the epoxy. I also make epoxy cutting boards, coasters and other items that I will use this epoxy to complete. The faster set time and thickness works awesome for that purpose. It also holds patterns you draw in the epoxy better than stone coat due to the thickness. Bottom line....total boat is not good for countertops unless you are doing clear coat only, colors are not easy to do with this, use stone coat countertop epoxy, its the best and worth the price. This works great for coasters or epoxy serving boards with 1/4inch or less pour, sets fast and holds patterns well.

After watching 2 different YouTube videos of how to use 2 part epoxy to fix my 20+ year custom made coffee table and found this product after my research, I am very pleased with the outcome. It was not hard to use, but it required lots of prep work. It was getting the measurement and then calculating how much each part (A & B) that I needed to use to mix the product. That’s why I googled and watched videos. Anyway, my coffee table now looks better than when I brought it new. It looks like it has a clear thick layer of customer made plastic/wax shine and smooth (like bar countertop.) I don’t even need to do a second layer. Oh don’t forget to get Flexible Resin Spreaders - V-NOTCHED EDGE spreads the resin the best. Hint: I only found out recently. In between layers, I was told I can add pictures, sprinkles, anything to make the table top interesting and protected from wear and tear and waterproof.

I have been using Total Boat epoxy for years. I operate a wood shop and use a lot of epoxy in our process. Total Boat is ultra clear, low Voc and low odor. Can be used in smaller areas has long as it is vented.

It made my counters look better and more durable. It didnt have an odor. I was concerned doing it in my kitchen.

Laid down very nice and even, easy to work with. Just follow the instructions, do not cut any corners.
