    Where did you get it and was it really expensive? Just curious as I haven't messed with that stuff for years now and I have a few projects that it would work well with.
    Lowe's has it now in quart and gallon size. the Gallon I used for this top was 58 bucks, but that table is like 78"x48. It's near the stains and varnish. It self levels, you just need to push it around a bit after the pour with a brush. You have like ten mins to get it right. I also used a propane torch to go over it right away to get what few bubbles there were out.

      Wow, it is much cheaper now. Cool, I have a few projects to use some on and a Lowes (plus a Depot and Menards) 3 minutes from my house. Thanks for the info.


      And it is applied the same way we used to do it. Pretty much a pour over and it would self level just as you said. We made some sweet "stoner pictures" with that stuff. My best friend still has 2 of them hanging in his bathroom.

        Yea man, I just kinda pushed it around with a brush to make sure it got everywhere, a smaller piece you wouldn't even need to do that. I did take a propane torch for the bubbles, but there weren't many. It give you the quantity to mix for the sq footage your working with. Then it's exact equal amounts of resin and hardener mixed together.
