How to Use 24 Hour Liquid Glass® Deep Pour Epoxy

• STEP 1: Determine the amount of epoxy you will need for your project. Be sure to order Superclear® Table Top Epoxy for a seal coat to ensure best results!
• STEP 2: Ensure your working environment is clean, dry and at least 70 degrees for best results. Lay down plastic sheeting below your project for a safe, easy cleanup. Make sure your surface is completely level, as the epoxy will self-level.
• STEP 3: Seal Coat: If working with wood or any substrate added to the casting, be sure to clean the surface with Isopropyl Alcohol 90% + (or our Superclean Epoxy Cleaner) and apply your seal coat with a brush, following all mixing directions for that product. Let it get tacky before pouring your deep pour. If the seal layer is fully cured, for best results, lightly sand the surface with 320 grit sandpaper and clean with Isopropyl Alcohol 90% +, and then pour the epoxy.
• STEP 4: Mixing Deep Pour 24: Measure 2 parts Resin to 1 part Activator and pour into a clean, dry bucket or mixing cup. Stir the mixture for at least 6 minutes with a stir stick. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom to ensure all of your epoxy is properly mixed.
• STEP 5: Transfer contents to a new, clean, dry bucket or mixing cup and continue mixing for 3 more minutes to ensure proper mixing, again scraping sides and bottom.
• STEP 6: Pour mixture directly into your mold at your desired depth, without scraping the sides. Up to 1” deep, at no more than 2 quarts volume per pour. However, greater depths can be reached by reducing your pour volume.
• STEP 7: Use a heat source, like a heat gun, to remove any surface air bubbles. Do not try to “work” bubbles out. This will actually cause more bubbles by heating the epoxy. Start at 6” minimum above the surface and sweep back and forth until no bubbles remain. Do not leave the heat gun over the surface too long, as to prevent surface distortions and overheating.
• STEP 8: Allow the surface to cure, up to 24 hours in a dust-free environment. The epoxy will start to get tacky between 8-12 hours but do not disturb for at least 24 hours to ensure a proper cure. If the temperature is too cool, it may take longer to cure.

Safety Precautions

Working with epoxy resin requires proper safety measures. Always wear gloves and protective eyewear, and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid skin and eye contact, and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for safe use and disposal.
