Quick Coat is not a two-part epoxy resin. It is a resin-art sealer and adhesive that helps create a prepared surface for epoxy application. Choose the 4 oz trial size for smaller projects or the 8 oz bottle for regular crafting.
What Does Quick Coat Do?
- Seals glitter, vinyl, decals, paint, alcohol inks, and marble-dip designs
- Helps secure glitter, fabric, paper, and other decorative materials
- Creates a smoother prepared surface for the next layer of resin
- Helps seal porous raw wood before resin application
- Dries clear without adding unwanted color to the project
- Can be applied with a brush or gloved finger
Quick Coat Project Ideas
Quick Coat works well for epoxy tumblers, resin artwork, glitter projects, fabric tumblers, waterslide wraps, painted canvases, raw wood, coasters, pens, ornaments, wine glasses, mugs, keychains, gold leaf, stencils, acrylic paint, and alcohol ink projects.
How to Apply Quick Coat
- Apply a thin layer with a brush or gloved finger.
- Allow the first layer to dry to the touch before applying another thin layer if needed.
- When using Quick Coat as an adhesive, position glitter, fabric, or other material while the applied layer is still tacky.
- When applying epoxy afterward, allow Quick Coat to dry completely before adding resin.
- A dryer or heat gun may be used carefully to help speed drying.
Always test the complete finishing process on a sample when working with a new surface, paint, ink, adhesive, or resin combination. These application directions follow Counter Culture DIY’s published Quick Coat instructions.
