🌡 Temperature is one of the key factors you need to keep in mind for a glass-like finish.. Craft Resin Table Top formula is thick, as it’s designed to be a professional finish for countertops and tables. To let it flow properly, your room needs to stay between 22-25°C. Once poured in a stable environment, the resin self-levels, spreading across the surface smoothly. Make sure that the temperature stays the same during the curing process, as even the slightest temperature change might affect the cure.

⚖️ A level table is the foundation of a level pour. Double-check your surface with a spirit level before you start. When your table is flat, your finish stays flawless. Use your spreader gently to move the epoxy to the edges, don’t push it too much.

🔄 Craft Resin Table Top is thick, so you have to ensure Parts A and B are perfectly blended. If they don’t blend, the chemistry stalls. Mix for three full minutes. Keep the stick submerged at all times to avoid bubbles. Scrape the sides and bottom to make sure the ratio stays even.

💎Make sure the surface of your project is clean of oils, dust and moisture before pouring - they’re the main culprits of spoiling a smooth, clear finish. Watch out for household cleaners - some leave a greasy film that spoils the quality of your pour. Make sure to seal porous materials like wood or canvas. This stops air from escaping and causing trouble from underneath. Once the surface is clean, keep your bare hands off it.

📏 Stick to 3mm per layer. This formula is built for coatings, not deep pours. If you go too deep, the heat builds up too fast and the resin can't "breathe." It’ll end up sticky and wavy.

✨ Keep your environment still. While the resin is gelling, it can be affected by tiny vibrations from heavy footsteps or loud equipment. For the smoothest result, let your piece cure in a quiet, stable area.
