Can you clean out the mixing buckets after using or do you need new ones each time?
Enjoyed the video. Is your epoxy suitable for kitchen worktops? Could it withstand a dish direct from the oven being placed on it? Thanks
Hi there, all our resins are heat resistant up to 55-60C. It is possible to increase the heat resistance by applying a heat resistant top coat.
Can you use resin with paint of walls? my dog makes the wall dirty some times and would be easier to clean, however is there a Matte finish?
Hi there, Our resin Sealer&Primer can be used to paint walls. It has a satin finish. Here is the link for our Sealer&Primer resin System : www.epodex.com/en/produkt/sealer-primer-system/
I'm still confused on how I could do this on my existing countertops. It just seems like the application is so runny.
Hello Jasmine,
This is called a Dirty Pour Technique.
Heres how it done:
If you wish to create a dirty pour you must first create a barrier (dam) around the edges with our strong, durable masking tape. Press the tape around the entire project. The tape should stick up at least a half-inch.
🎨 Pro Tip: One continuous piece of tape may be difficult to achieve but aim for as few seams as possible.
Don’t wait too long before removing the tape. If the resin completely hardens, it will be difficult to remove. For the least hassle, it is best to remove the tape no more than 16 to 12 hours after pouring. Gelling times can be found on our system comparison sheet. You want the resin to be set, but still flexible so that the tape pulls off easily allowing the epoxy to flow down the edges in a slow movement.
Upon removing the tape, you will notice some spots that will need to be treated with a paintbrush to ensure full coverage. Make sure you dip the paintbrush in the epoxy mixture before using it. Start using the paintbrush in a horizontal motion, spreading the epoxy over the edges. Do not worry about messing your design up if you have worked with various colours as the epoxy will still flow downwards bringing the design you have created over the edges. Only work on the face of the edges, not the top.
Once you have painted the edges with a paintbrush take a stir stick and run it along the bottom of the edges to scrape the bottom drips off. You will need to do this periodically for an hour or two.
For a final topcoat of epoxy, you can sand at a higher grit as the epoxy layer will then remove the scratches from sanding. You can round sand the bottom edges as well if needed to give the finishing touches to your edges.
Hope this helps :)

This looks amazing!
What kind of epoxy and primer did you use? As I want to 3 print a doll and the printer has lines very similar to the one you used and I’d like to smooth it out like you did
Hello,
Thanks for your interest!
Do you want to coat a surface with colour or without?

Do you do a heat resistant top coat product?
Hi there, all our resins are heat resistant up to 60°C. We do not have heat resistant top coat yet. But is it possible to apply any heat resistant PU top coat onto our resin after complete curing.
How to coat standing pole? Will the epoxy stay or fall down while coating?
Hi Praveen, thank you for contacting us and for your interest in our products. Our epoxy resins systems are mainly designed for horizontal surfaces as they are self-levelling. We do not usually recommend the use of our ECO, PRO, or PRO+ epoxy resin systems for vertical surfaces. This is because these systems have a fairly low viscosity level and would therefore run off vertical surfaces and create a high material loss. Yes, it is possible to use the Eco or Pro systems by applying several very thin layers after the mixture has become gel-like, but this requires a lot of effort and experience with epoxy. If you decide to try the process we recommend using the Pro System.
Be sure to check out our Paints as well that could be suitable for your project as well: www.epodex.com/en/paints/

Never add water to your epoxy. Wtf kind of advice is this?!?!?
Hi there, there are 2 types of epoxy resin. Most epoxy resin are non-water based and you should never add water to them. But some epoxy resin are water-based and can be diluted with water. The Priming resin shown in this video is water-based and can therefore be diluted with water.
No water should add in epoxy moron bipedal
I added water and I ended up with divots in my countertop. I attempted to "blow dry" some of the water with my heat gun but it was useless. I don't recommend adding water.
