Woodcraft sent me their catalog today and near the end i noticed a product called mirror coat made by system three i think.
Mirror coat epoxy review.
Easy application cures crystal clear exceptionally tough.
Is this epoxy easy to use.
Used the system three mirror coat on a red maple slab table.
The picture shows a really shiny tree stump tea table or something.
Applied a seal coat and a finish coat.
Scratch resistant waterproof alcohol proof a single application give the appearance of multiple coats of varnish 100 solids.
Unlike most bar or countertop coatings mirror coat is mixed in the ratio of two parts of resin to one part of hardener by volume.
Mirror coat will self level to create a hard consistently clear layer on most horizontal surfaces.
This is if you use 1 5 gallons over a 12 or 13 square ft.
Mirrorcoat is a pourable self leveling bar and tabletop coating.
Make sure the finish coat is applied when the work is dead nuts level.
Once applied it will be hard to the touch within about three hours.
It s an epoxy type finish to add high gloss finish to wood.
It remains liquid until it s mixed with the hardener and then it cures at air temperature until solid.
The coating will level out to be 1 8 thick.
You do not need to super sand the wood i went to 400 grit and it turned out perfect.
A resin and a hardener.
This unique formulation makes mirror coat the hardest and most heat resistant consumer epoxy coating available.
No solvents low odor apply multiple coats to create striking three dimensional effects can be.
In this case the resin is basically a clear synthetic polymer a kind of plastic.
Anyone know if it will work for adding a waterproof and high gloss finish for knife handles.
