This epoxy is a 1:1 formula designed for all your needs from arts, crafts, to epoxy woodworking & has the highest UV INHIBITORS on the market! It is a FAST SET epoxy, and a second coat of epoxy can be poured over the first without displacement in as little as 1 hour, allowing you to get more done in less time, with little waiting. Warmer environments allow it to be sanded in 3 hours. It is extremely durable and crystal clear! Check out the portfolio tab for all the art pieces finished with this product! It is especially perfect for tumblers and ocean scenes that require multiple layers to get a finished product!
It has a wonderfully thin viscosity making it easy to stir, zero VOCs, and added UV Inhibitors!
ONCE MIXED - Pot life (working time) approximately 7 to 10 minutes, gel time is 14 to 20 minutes, and set time for second layer is 1 - 1.5 hours.

TECHNICAL DATE SHEET
Thin Pour Fast UV Pro
Description: Thin Pour Fast Epoxy is a 100% solids, self-leveling, primer-less, odorless, water clear
coating often used for seal coats, art works, and other projects that require multiple layers in a quick amount of time. Thin Pour Fast Epoxy can be used anywhere a hard, durable, crystal clear coating is required. Thin Pour Fast Epoxy will cure to a clear, glass-like finish. Thin Pour Fast Epoxy has been enhanced with both a UV absorber and a HALS (hindered amine light stabilizer) to help lessen the effects of UV light to protect against loss of gloss, cracking, chalking and to reduce yellowing.
Product ~ Ideal 1:1 Mix Ratio
Advantages: ~ Extremely Tough Surface
~ High Gloss
~ Blush Resistant
~ Excellent Adhesion to Wood
Application Product is usually applied in multiple stages (see Application Section). Maximum pour depth is 1/8”. Do Guidelines: not vary or deviate from mix ratios, failure to do so can result in soft spots or partial curing. For best results the material should be used at temperatures from 70°-80°F. Work areas should be clean and dust/insect free.
Cure Info: The time to full cure depends upon the volume applied. Thin portions harden slower than thick ones. In 7 days @ 72-77 degrees F (22-25 degrees C) physical parameters reach specified values.

Surface To achieve excellent adhesion, the substrate must be free of all loose and foreign material and should be
Preparation: clean. Oils, grease, waxes or other contaminates must be removed prior to coating. For hard to bond substrates (e.g. PE, PP, etc.) use conventional surface preparation methods.
Mixing: Before blending Resin and Hardener stirring may be necessary, especially in case of filled materials. The storage temperature of Thin Pour Fast Epoxy will greatly affect the ease of mixing, application and curing time. For best results, Thin Pour Fast Epoxy should be stored at 60-80 °F for at least 24 hours before use. Mix 1 part A (resin) to 1 part B (hardener) using a spatula or stir stick until uniform. Be sure to scrape sides of mixing container while mixing (any unmixed or partially mixed material will cause wet spots on finished surface). DO NOT mix more material than can be used within the stated working time. REMEMBER - you will have less working time at higher temperatures. For room temperature cure systems, once the Resin and Hardener are mixed an exothermic reaction takes place developing some heat which accelerates the process of cure. The viscosity of such a self-heating system first decreases then, at the end of the GEL TIME, increases until the material gels. At this moment the temperature of the product keeps rising, and in the case of large batches can result in overheating with unpleasant fumes and smoke.
Application: Thin Pour Fast Epoxy can be applied with a foam brush/roller or squeegee. Material is typically applied in stages. In the first stage a thin layer of material is applied to seal the substrate and prevent any air bubbles from forming in future coats. The second stage requires thicker flood coats applied at 1/8”. How many flood coats are needed depends on your particular application but one to three is typical. Recoats can be applied as soon as current layer has “tacked up”. If your previous layer has fully cured then very light sanding with a fine grit (220) sandpaper followed by a solvent wipe (isopropyl alcohol or acetone) is necessary before application of subsequent layer. A heat gun or torch may be used after the pour is completed and the material is still liquid to burst/pop any remaining air bubbles. If a torch is used the flame should never come in direct contact with the epoxy, smooth strokes 6-12 inches above the material is all that is required.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Mix and pour in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact does occur, wash skin with soap and water and seek medical help. Read and understand all CAUTIONS on container labels and safety data sheets before using this material. Avoid breathing of vapors. Forced local exhaust is recommended to effectively minimize exposure. NIOSH approved, organic vapor respirators and forced exhaust are recommended in confined areas, or when conditions (such as heated polymers, sanding) may cause high vapor concentrations. DO NOT WELD ON, BURN OR TORCH ON OR NEAR, ANY EPOXY MATERIAL. HAZARDOUS VAPOR IS RELEASED WHEN AN EPOXY IS BURNED.
