How to Achieve Professional Results

Use equal parts of Part A and Part B by volume. Stir gently for at least three minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of your mix cup for a thorough blend. Pour within the working time to let the resin self-level. Always pour in a clean, temperature-controlled environment for the clearest results.

Plan ahead using the Resin Calculator to estimate the required amount. For porous or bubble-prone surfaces, start with a sealing layer of Quick Coat before your main pour.
