Table Top Epoxy Resin Superclear 2 Gallon | 256 oz Kit, Anti-Yellow Highest UV Impact Resistance, Food Safe Epoxy, Crystal Clear Gloss, Bubble Free, Bar & Surface Coat, Tumblers, Wood, DIY

The product itself is a good one and does what it is supposed to do. It cures out very clear and glossy and brings out the grain in wood. I especially appreciate the good customer service that is available. A technician spent time with me on the phone detailing the process further than what you read on the container or pamphlet. It took 5 hours to cure to a non sticky state rather than the 2-4 that it states, in what seemed to be ideal conditions. I used a heat tool (gun) to pop the bubbles after the pour, which worked perfectly. I will be interested to see how the glossy finish stands up to normal use, how easy it is to keep it looking good, etc.

I've used this product on 2 woodworking projects that I carved, a door and a headboard for a king size bed. I also used the deep pour version to mate 2 oak slabs for the door and this table top version to finish it off. Due to the success of my door project, I chose it again for my headboard project. In both cases, Superclear epoxy was easy to use, and the results turned out better than I was expecting. I'll definitely continue to use Superclear for future projects!

This is the best epoxy I have found for ease of use.Least amount of smell.Least amount of bubbles.Easy to work with and mix.Use at correct temperature for best results.Customer service is incredible and stands behind their products 100%.

I originally chose Superclear Tabletop for my countertop project because it has outstanding reviews, a long history of excellence, and the item description includes "countertops" and color mixing as a usage. Hindsight says, I shouldn't have. Murphy's law has dogged this project every step of the way and I just bought my 3rd kit for the one project. 🙃 Ugh. But I actually do like this product, I just didn't fully understand it and its limitations early on.Here's what I learned that I wish I had known initially:*Low viscosity: very very thick. If you have lots of colors you are trying to add to a large surface, good luck. Dirty pours do not like to self level unless you have tons of helpers to get those colors mixed super fast.* Highly reactive: we followed the manufacturers instructions to a T. Or so we thought. They didn't have the youtube vid up for the first pour, about slowly hand mixing the product at the time, so we used a drill paddle. Bad. BadbadbadbadBAD. Don't do that. Use a stir stick and go S.L.O.W.And when they say, no more than 1/2 gallon at a time. They mean, don't even approach a 1/2 gallon at once. On attempt #2 when we switched to 1Litre mixes, it worked brilliantly. Use the metric system for large pours and have a helper who solely mixes product.Otherwise overheating and flash curing is a very real risk. Very easy to trigger with this eppxy.* Other brand's Dispersion fluids do work with product for mixing colors. Thank God, too! Or our project would be a total bust. Of course, use the absolute least amount necessary (>5% volume) but at 3% it was fine. Yay!* Self leveling can be tricky with colors. Expect to do some flood coats for large surfaces. Small areas are no problem (5sq ft easy, but 20sq ft, not so much) I think the 2nd flood coat should be perfectly level. Fingers crossed anyway. So plan for your project to gain thickness if it needs to fit in a prescribed space* Oh, and the working time is short. So move move move when you start mixing. Have your colors already measured and ready to go as soon as the 2 parts meet. Have a plan and do not take your time at any point if you are doing colors. And get some assistants. 2 people with so much real estate was a bad idea. Get some helpers and you should be fine.* Also, this product absolutely refuses to spread nicely over my edges. We had to fill in bare spots by hand with a cheap paint brush. Nightmare moment. If you tape dam, you must pull the dam quickly. Like, 30min - no more than 1 hour and be diligent about breaking surface tension. Also, I highly recommend mixing enough for your edges first, spread with your gloved hands to get 100% edge coverage, then do the top pour. Learned that the hard way too.After all that, we are sticking with Superclear for this project because 'the devil you know'and also, it really does cure beautifully. Perfect hardness throughout. Few bubbles (after the paddle fiasco was corrected). High gloss finish, easy sanding, fast cure, forgiving on thickness (up to 1/4" per pour) and allegedly high durability (remains to be seen for us) makes this a great product. Just so happened that Superclear Tabletop was not the right product for our project, but the price tag is decent and now for the final flood coat it seems risky to switch resins, so hopefully the last will give us the perfect levelness we need. 🤞In summary, if you have a large project where you want to add lots of micas and dye, this is going to be tough with this product. Not impossible, but tricky. Consider their new 2:1 'countertop' (yes I am grumpy it came out just a few weeks after we were committed to 'tabletop') epoxy. I haven't tried it, but I suspect they addressed some of the more challenging traits of tabletop epoxy with it. Tabletop is phenomenal for floodcoats. Or basically clear pours without additives or for small surfaces, but the greater the surface you need to cover, the more challenging it will be with this reactive epoxy.

The table top epoxy is excellent and is a great value. The only improvement that I could suggest is to increase the open time so it could be worked longer before hardening.

realy good my first on cam out real nice.had to work fast 24 x8 ft came out like glass

I am a veteran in the world of epoxy countertops and have had a small business since 2018. Needless to say, I have tried many epoxy brands, and my go-to is purchased from Grand Junction, CO (great results every time, heat resistant to 500 degrees.) We were doing our own kitchen, 78 sq. feet of counters, so since it was a personal project I decided to test out this brand and save some money. You get what you pay for. Thankfully I was wise enough to first do a small pour (about 1.5 sq. ft) making a small dog food tray and the design came out great and cured quickly. A few days later I poured the clear coat. It was 2.5 ounces of part A and B for a whopping total of 5 ounces. I mixed for a full five minutes in a silicone cup (exactly how I had done the design/color coat.) Yes--I mixed thoroughly, and definitely for long enough, and the epoxy was over 75 degrees (it has been in the low 100s where we live this summer and the garage is always warm.) Poured it on my dog tray project and it simply never cured. In fact, it has been two full weeks already and it is STILL sitting out in the garage, tacky. The entire thing is tacky, every square inch, not just one or two spots.I called the manufacturer and got in touch with customer service. The rep there, a young kid, told me that the ONLY reason the epoxy wouldn't have cured is if I "scraped the sides of the cup and maybe some unmixed epoxy was on there." He then said, "I mean, yeah, we get it, you want to get your money's worth since you paid for the product, but if you scrape the sides of the cup, you risk having unmixed epoxy get onto your project." Um, NO DUDE. That is not the problem. I have mixed literally hundreds of epoxy projects big and small and yes I ALWAYS scrape the sides to mix thoroughly (I am fanatical about mixing properly) and then ALWAYS transfer to a second clean cup/bucket to ensure there is no unmixed epoxy (I did not tell this to the kid who must have thought I was an idiot.) I have never once ever poured a project that did not cure, ESPECIALLY the entire surface (not just a few soft spots.) His reasoning was absurd. So, one is just supposed to mix the epoxy in the middle and not touch the sides of the cup for fear of coming in contact with unmixed epoxy?? That doesn't make sense. And even if it that WERE a plausible explanation, at least some parts of the pour should have hardened up and the "unmixed epoxy" areas would stay tacky. This was not the case. The entire thing, no matter where I touch it, is still tacky. To top it off, the entire design yellowed terribly within just a couple hours of being in sunlight. EDIT-I have attached a few photos showing how, after 2.5 weeks, we had to scrape off all the gooey epoxy using alcohol, acetone, and chisels. The entire thing had to be cleaned, sanded, and re-poured (clearcoat) using my regular go-to brand which never fails.Thank goodness we did not use this on our huge kitchen project. I will never purchase this epoxy again for anything, not even craft projects. I am sorry I bought the 2 gallon kit. Waste of money for a product that does not perform, EVERY time, exactly as it should. There is something sub-par about this formula. Mixing exactly 2.5 ounces of each for a full five minutes by timer should have definitely mixed up enough to cure properly with a rock hard finish. And the yellowing thing is a deal breaker too. The only plus about it was that it did finish out crystal clear with absolutely zero bubbles.
