FAQ - Microcement & Concrete Effect 

What is the difference between Microcement and Concrete Effect?

chevronBottom

Microcement is a highly durable coating applied in two layers and mixed with Liquid B (acrylic binder). It can be used on floors, walls, ceilings, and furniture and is available in two grain sizes.

The layered application creates a unique textured finish and provides excellent resistance to wear and scratches. When sealed with a PU topcoat, Microcement is suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, and outdoor areas.

CONCRETE EFFECT is a more cost-effective alternative designed mainly for walls and decorative surfaces that are not exposed to heavy wear. It is applied in one layer and comes in one grain size (slightly finer than Medium Microcement).

It is easier to sand, making it ideal for decorative or temporary projects. A PU topcoat can also be applied for additional protection.

In summary:
Choose Microcement for durability and high-traffic areas.
Choose CONCRETE EFFECT for decorative wall finishes with lighter use.

What is the mixing ratio for Microcement?

chevronBottom

Microcement is mixed by weight using Microcement Powder (A) and Liquid B.

Medium Grain Microcement

  • Mixing ratio: 100 : 20
  • Example: 15.4 lbs Powder + 3 lbs Liquid B
  • Add WB Pigment to achieve your desired color

Large Grain Microcement

  • Mixing ratio: 100 : 25
  • Example: 15.4 lbs Powder + 3.85 lbs Liquid B
  • Add WB Pigment to achieve your desired color

You can add between 2% and 10% WB Pigment to the mixture.

All Microcement sets are supplied with 2% WB Pigment, which matches the colors shown on our website.
For more intense or deeper colors, you can increase the pigment up to 10%. Additional WB Pigment must be ordered separately.

What is the mixing ratio for Concrete Effect?

chevronBottom

The mixing ratio for concrete effect is 5:2
that means 5 parts powder to 2 parts water (by weight).

For example:
2.2 lbs Concrete Effect powder mixed with 0.1 gallon of water.

What is the mixing ratio for the Putty Primer?

chevronBottom

The Putty Primer should be mixed as follows:

  • 11 lbs of Putty Primer
  • 0.5 gallon of water

Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency before application.

What is the mixing ratio for the 2K leveling compound?

chevronBottom

The mixing ratio is:

100 parts quartz sand : 60 parts resin/hardener

For example:

  • 22 lbs quartz sand
  • 8.8 lbs resin (A)
  • 4.4 lbs hardener (B)

Mix all components thoroughly until you achieve a uniform consistency before applicatio

What is the mixing ratio for the 2K bonding primer?

chevronBottom

The mixing ratio for the 2K bonding primer is 5:1.

For example:

  • 1 lb Bonding Primer (Resin)
  • 0.2 lb Bonding Primer (Hardener)

Mix both components thoroughly before application to ensure proper performance and adhesion.

Does the deep primer need to be mixed?

chevronBottom

The deep primer is ready to use and does not need to be mixed with any other product.

The coverage is approximately 2.2 lbs per 75.3 sq ft, depending on the absorbency of the surface.

What is the recommended application temperature for Microcement and Concrete Effect?

chevronBottom

Microcement and Concrete Effect should be applied at temperatures between 50°F and 75°F, with an ideal temperature of around 70°F for best results.

How do I apply and seal Microcement on walls?

chevronBottom

First, ensure the surface is stable, clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Sand any uneven areas.

Priming:

  • For tiled or non-absorbent walls, use PUTTY PRIMER.
  • For absorbent walls, apply 2 coats of DEEP PRIMER.
    Allow the primer to dry completely before continuing.

Application: 

Apply Medium Grain Microcement in two layers, mixed with Liquid B and WB Pigment as recommended.
Let the first layer dry, sand imperfections, remove dust, and apply the second layer within 24 hours. If more than 24 hours pass, lightly sand and apply a thin layer of Liquid B before recoating.

Sealing (after 48 hours):
Seal with 2K PU Topcoat (2:1 mixing ratio). Apply two thin coats, with the second coat applied after 6–20 hours.

The surface is walkable after 12 hours and fully cured after approximately 6 days.

How do I apply and seal Microcement on floors?

chevronBottom

Make sure the floor is stable, load-bearing, clean, dry, and sanded smooth before starting.

Priming:

  • Use 2K Leveling Compound for tiled or uneven floors.
  • Use 2 coats of Deep Primer for absorbent, leveled floors.
  • Use 2K Bonding Primer for non-absorbent, leveled floors.
    Allow the primer to dry completely to prevent cracking.

Application:
Apply Large Grain Microcement as the first layer, mixed with Liquid B and 2% WB Pigment (up to 10% for deeper colors). Let dry, sand imperfections, and remove dust.
Apply Medium Grain Microcement as the second layer within 24 hours. If more than 24 hours pass, lightly sand and apply a thin layer of Liquid B before recoating.

Sealing (after 48 hours):
Seal with 2K PU Topcoat (2:1 mixing ratio). Apply two thin coats, with the second coat applied after 6–20 hours.

The surface is walkable after 12 hours (at 75°F) and fully cured after approximately 6 days.

How do I apply and seal Microcement on furniture?

chevronBottom

Make sure the furniture is stable, solid, clean, dry, and sanded smooth before starting.

Priming:

  • Use PUTTY PRIMER if the surface needs leveling.
  • Use 2K Bonding Primer for non-absorbent surfaces.
  • Use DEEP PRIMER for absorbent surfaces.
    Allow the primer to dry completely to prevent cracking.

Application:
Apply Medium Grain Microcement as the first layer (mixing ratio 100:20 – e.g., 15.4 lbs Powder + 3 lbs Liquid B). Add 2% WB Pigment (up to 10% for deeper colors). Apply thinly with a trowel and let dry. Sand imperfections and remove dust.

Apply the second layer within 24 hours. If more than 24 hours pass, lightly sand and apply a thin layer of Liquid B before recoating.

Sealing (after 48 hours):
Seal with 2K PU Topcoat (2:1 mixing ratio). Apply two thin coats, with the second coat applied after 6–20 hours.

The surface is walkable after 12 hours (at 75°F) and fully cured after approximately 6 days.

What is the correct waiting time between Microcement coats?

chevronBottom

At 70°F, the waiting time between coats is:

  • Minimum: 8 hours
  • Maximum: 24 hours

If you apply the second coat too early (before 8 hours):
The first layer may still contain excess moisture, which can lead to cracking.

If you apply the second coat too late (after 24 hours):
The first layer may be too dry and porous, allowing trapped air to rise into the fresh coat and cause bubbles.

If more than 24 hours have passed:

  • Lightly sand the surface
  • Apply a thin layer of Liquid B
  • Apply the second coat while the Liquid B is still wet

Important in warmer temperatures (above 70°F):
Microcement dries faster, increasing the risk of bubbles. In warmer conditions:

  • Sand as you approach 24 hours
  • Apply a thin layer of Liquid B before recoating
  • Slightly increase the amount of Liquid B in your mix to slow hardening and improve self-venting

Following the correct timing ensures a smooth, durable, and bubble-free finish.

How long does Microcement take to dry?

chevronBottom

At an ideal temperature of 70°F, Microcement dries and reaches initial mechanical strength within 8 hours. Full chemical curing is completed after approximately 7 days.

How do I apply Concrete Effect?

chevronBottom

Ensure the surface is stable, dry, clean, and sanded smooth.

Mix Concrete Effect powder with water in a 5:2 ratio by weight (e.g., 2.2 lbs powder with 0.1 gal water). Add approximately 2% WB Pigment for color.

Apply evenly with a trowel.

  • Working time: approx. 30 minutes
  • Coverage: approx. 0.24 lb/sq ft per 1/32” thickness
  • Drying time: approx. 24 hours

Mix in small batches and use cold water to extend working time.

How long does Concrete Effect take to cure?

chevronBottom

Concrete Effect dries and reaches mechanical strength within approximately 20–24 hours.

However, full chemical curing is completed after about 7 days.

What is the working time of Concrete Effect?

chevronBottom

After mixing, you have approximately 30 minutes of working time with Concrete Effect, as it sets quickly.

The pot life is also around 30 minutes, so we recommend mixing in small batches to avoid material waste.

When can the PU Topcoat be applied?

chevronBottom

The PU Topcoat can be applied:

  • At least 48 hours after the final layer of Microcement
  • At least 24 hours after the final layer of Concrete Effect

This waiting time ensures the surface has properly dried before sealing.

Can I use Concrete Effect on floors?

chevronBottom

No, 1K Concrete Effect is not suitable for floors.

For flooring applications, we recommend using Microcement, as it is more durable and better suited for high-traffic areas. We offer a dedicated Microcement flooring set for this purpose.

For maximum protection, we also recommend applying two coats of PU sealer on top of the Microcement.

Additionally, a suitable primer must be applied underneath the Microcement, depending on the type of surface.

Is Microcement waterproof?

chevronBottom

Microcement is only waterproof when it is properly sealed with our 2K PU Topcoat.

Without the protective topcoat, Microcement is not fully water-resistant. For bathrooms, showers, wet rooms, or outdoor areas, applying the 2K PU Topcoat is essential to ensure long-term water protection and durability.

How can I make Concrete Effect waterproof?

chevronBottom

You can make Concrete Effect waterproof by applying two layers of 2K PU Topcoat.

The PU Topcoat seals the surface and provides protection against water and moisture.

Do I always need to prime before applying Microcement?

chevronBottom

Yes, priming is always required before applying Microcement.

Using the correct primer for your specific surface ensures proper adhesion, durability, and long-term performance.

If primer is not applied:

  • The Microcement may not bond properly
  • The surface can weaken or delaminate over time
  • Porous substrates can release air, causing bubbles
  • Cracking or detachment may occur

Priming reduces surface absorption, strengthens adhesion, and helps achieve a smooth, durable, and long-lasting finish.

Do I need a primer before applying Concrete Effect?

chevronBottom

No, you do not need a primer under Concrete Effect.

It is only important to ensure the surface is properly cleaned and degreased before application.

If you want to level tiled walls before applying Concrete Effect, you can either use Putty Primer or apply an additional layer of Concrete Effect to achieve a smooth surface.

Can I use Microcement in a pool?

chevronBottom

Yes, Microcement can be applied in a pool — but it must be sealed with our 2K PU Topcoat.

Microcement alone is not waterproof and cannot be used in a pool without proper sealing.

We recommend applying at least two coats of 2K PU Topcoat and allowing it to fully cure before filling the pool with water.

Can I apply Microcement outdoors?

chevronBottom

Yes, you can apply Microcement outdoors.

Please note that sunlight and temperature fluctuations may slightly affect the final color. If possible, protect the surface from direct sun exposure while it is drying.

Make sure it does not rain during application and for at least 48 hours after applying Microcement. If the surface gets wet while drying, it may cause permanent stains.

If staining occurs, allow the surface to dry completely and apply a new layer of Microcement to cover the affected area.

Can I start with Medium Grain Microcement on floors?

chevronBottom

No. When applying Microcement on floors, you must begin with a layer of Large Grain Microcement.

The large grain provides higher compressive strength and improved durability, creating a strong and stable base. The second layer is then applied using Medium Grain Microcement to achieve the final texture and finish.

Can I use Putty Primer on floors?

chevronBottom

No, Putty Primer cannot be used on floors, as it is not resistant to heavy wear and mechanical stress.

For flooring applications, please use the appropriate floor primer, such as 2K Leveling Compound or 2K Bonding Primer, depending on the substrate.

Why doesn’t the Microcement look textured after the first layer?

chevronBottom

It is completely normal not to see a strong Microcement effect after just one layer.

The desired textured finish is typically achieved with two layers. The first layer acts as a base, while the second layer builds up the texture and enhances the overall visual effect.

For the best result, always apply the recommended two-layer system.

What is the maximum thickness and coverage of Concrete Effect?

chevronBottom

The maximum coating height of Concrete Effect is 4 inches per application process at 70°F.

The consumption of Concrete Effect is approximately 0.24 lb per sq ft per 1/32” layer thickness.

Will the 2K PU Topcoat change the color of my Microcement?

chevronBottom

Yes, the finish you choose can slightly affect the appearance.

Applying 2K PU Topcoat Glossy may slightly darken the color of the Microcement.

Applying 2K PU Topcoat Matte will not significantly change the color and keeps the appearance closer to the original shade.

What should I do if my floor has an expansion joint before applying Microcement?

chevronBottom

If your floor has an expansion joint, you have two options:

Option 1: Keep the expansion joint
You can keep the joint visible in the Microcement and seal it with silicone or acrylic after curing to prevent dust and dirt buildup.

Option 2: Fill and reinforce the joint
Clean the joint and remove any old filler. Fill it with ECO epoxy system mixed with quartz sand and allow it to cure. Then apply two thin coats of ECO epoxy resin over the area, embed a fiberglass mat (1 oz/sq ft) into the second coat, and apply another thin coat on top to secure it.

Proper reinforcement is essential. If the substrate is not stabilized correctly, cracking may occur in the finished Microcement surface.

Do I need to add an edge strip or expansion joint before applying Microcement?

chevronBottom

No, if your floor is stable and not subject to movement, you do not need to add an additional edge strip or expansion joint before applying Microcement.

However, the existing substrate must be professionally constructed and comply with building regulations. A stable and properly built floor is essential to prevent cracking in the finished Microcement surface.

Is Microcement sufficient waterproofing for my bathroom?

chevronBottom

No. Microcement is a finishing layer and does not replace the required structural waterproofing.

Your bathroom must be properly sealed in accordance with building regulations before applying Microcement. Proper substrate waterproofing is essential to ensure long-term durability and prevent moisture damage.

How do I apply Microcement across multiple rooms?

chevronBottom

When applying Microcement continuously across multiple rooms, it is recommended to create an expansion joint in the Microcement layer at door transitions.

After the Microcement has cured, cut a 2 mm joint at the doorway using a circular saw. This allows for slight movement between rooms and helps prevent cracking.

Seal the joint with silicone or acrylic to prevent dust and debris from entering and to maintain a clean finish.

When can I apply Microcement on concrete or screed?

chevronBottom

It is important to wait until the concrete, screed, or leveling compound is fully dry and no longer moving before applying Microcement.

In some cases — especially in new buildings — concrete or screed can continue to move for up to one year. Applying Microcement too early may lead to cracking.

To determine the correct waiting time, consult the professional who installed the concrete or screed.

Can I use Microcement to fill cracks?

chevronBottom

No, we do not recommend using Microcement to fill cracks.

Microcement is designed as a finishing topcoat, not a repair product. It should not be applied over a cracked or unstable substrate.

All cracks must be properly repaired and the floor stabilized before applying Microcement to prevent future damage or cracking in the finished surface.

Can I apply Microcement on tiles that are no longer watertight?

chevronBottom

No, not without proper preparation.

If the existing tiles are no longer watertight, they must be professionally waterproofed before applying Microcement. Microcement is a decorative and finishing layer and does not replace structural waterproofing.

Ensuring the substrate is fully sealed and compliant with building regulations is essential to prevent future moisture damage.

Can I apply Microcement on vertical surfaces or slopes?

chevronBottom

Yes, Microcement is applied with a trowel and can be used on vertical surfaces and sloped areas.

It is suitable for walls, stairs, and other inclined surfaces, provided the substrate is properly prepared and primed.

What happens if I apply Microcement before the primer is dry?

chevronBottom

If you apply Microcement while the primer is still wet, the trapped moisture can migrate into the Microcement layer and cause cracking.

Always allow the primer to dry completely before applying Microcement to ensure proper adhesion and a durable finish.

Can I make Microcement self-leveling by adding more Liquid B?

chevronBottom

No, our Microcement cannot be made self-leveling.

We do not recommend adding more Liquid B than the specified mixing ratio. Adding too much Liquid B may cause discoloration and negatively affect the final result.

What happens if I apply Microcement in hot or sunny conditions?

chevronBottom

Applying Microcement near a heat source, in a hot room, or in direct sunlight will cause it to harden faster.

If Microcement dries too quickly, it can lead to color variations and may even cause cracking.

For best results, apply Microcement in recommended temperature conditions and avoid direct heat or sun exposure during application and drying.

What happens if I apply Microcement at low temperatures?

chevronBottom

If the temperature is too cold, Microcement will take longer to cure.

At very low temperatures, it may not dry properly at all.

Cold conditions can also cause color variations in the finished surface.

For best results, apply Microcement within the recommended temperature range and keep the temperature stable and consistent during application and curing.

Can I apply Microcement on a wooden floor?

chevronBottom

Yes, Microcement can be applied to a wooden floor — but only with proper preparation.

Wood is not dimensionally stable and can move over time. It is essential to stabilize and reinforce the wooden substrate before applying Microcement to prevent cracking in the finished surface.

Can I apply Microcement on a surface that is not dimensionally stable?

chevronBottom

Microcement can only be applied on a surface that is properly stabilized.

Warping or non-dimensionally stable surfaces must be reinforced and stabilized first. If the substrate continues to move, it will lead to cracks in the finished Microcement surface.

Failing to stabilize the surface before application will almost certainly result in cracking.

How can I achieve a seamless Microcement finish between walls and floors?

chevronBottom

To achieve a seamless finish across multiple surfaces (such as wall and floor or wall and furniture), you must use the same grain size for the final layer.

If you use the same color but a different grain size on each surface, slight color variations may appear.

For a truly seamless wall-to-floor Microcement finish, always apply the same grain size in the top layer on all connected surfaces.

Will the same WB Pigment look identical in all products?

chevronBottom

No, the same WB Pigment color can look slightly different depending on the Microcement grain size and when used in Concrete Effect.

Differences in grain size and texture influence how the color is reflected, so slight variations in shade are normal — especially when products are placed next to each other.

Can I use the Floor Set on walls and the Wall Set on floors?

chevronBottom

You can use the Floor Set on walls if you prefer, although it is more than what is technically needed for vertical surfaces. For walls, we recommend the Wall Set because it is more cost-effective and designed specifically for wall applications.

However, you cannot use the Wall Set on floors. Floors require the large grain size base layer that is only included in the Floor Set. This ensures proper strength, stability, and long-term durability under foot traffic.

How does the grain size of Concrete Effect compare to Microcement?

chevronBottom

The Concrete Effect grain size is slightly finer than Medium Grain Microcement.

This results in a smoother texture compared to Medium Microcement.

What grain sizes are available for Microcement?

chevronBottom

We offer Microcement in different grain sizes to suit your project needs:

  • Large Grain: 80 µm
  • Medium Grain: 330 µm

Each grain size creates a different texture and is used depending on the surface and desired finish.

Can I redo just one part of my Microcement, or will it be visible?

chevronBottom

For the best and most seamless result, we recommend applying each Microcement layer to the entire surface on the same day.

If you’re working on separate areas (for example, different walls), you can complete one wall one day and another wall on a different day without any issues.

However, patching or redoing only a small section of an already finished surface can be visible. Blending Microcement into an existing area requires advanced technique, and even then, slight variations in texture or shade may appear.

For the most consistent finish, full-surface application is always recommended.

Can I apply Microcement to my ceiling?

chevronBottom

Yes, Microcement can be applied to ceilings. 

We recommend using the Microcement Wall Set for ceiling applications, as it is designed for vertical surfaces and is easier to work with overhead.

How do I apply Microcement around a drain and protect areas I don’t want coated?

chevronBottom

Use masking tape and plastic drop cloths to protect drains and any areas you don’t want to coat with Microcement. Apply the tape carefully to create clean edges.

For the best result, remove the masking tape before the Microcement is completely dry. This helps achieve a sharp, clean edge and prevents the material from lifting or cracking along the tape line.

Can Microcement be applied over existing bathroom tiles?

chevronBottom

Yes, Microcement can be applied directly over bathroom tiles with the correct preparation.

For tiled walls:
Prime the surface with Putty Primer, then apply the Microcement Bathroom Set (Wall Option).

For tiled floors:
Prime with 2K Leveling Compound to create a stable, even base, then apply the Microcement Bathroom Set (Floor Option).

Proper preparation and priming are essential for strong adhesion and a durable, seamless finish.

What should I do if it rains on my Microcement?

chevronBottom

If rain hits your Microcement before it is completely dry, let it dry fully first. Then sand the surface, apply a thin coat of Liquid B, and reapply a new layer of Microcement.

Rain on drying Microcement can cause stains that will not disappear after drying, so refinishing the surface is usually necessary.

Can I apply Microcement over vinyl?

chevronBottom

No, Microcement cannot be applied over vinyl. The vinyl must be completely removed before applying Microcement to ensure proper adhesion and long-term durability.

Why does my Microcement change color when wet?

chevronBottom

When Microcement gets wet, it can temporarily appear darker or stained — especially if it has not yet been sealed.

Let the surface dry completely. If the marks disappear once dry, simply apply 2 layers of 2K PU Topcoat to properly seal and protect it. If the stains remain after drying, lightly sand the surface and apply a new thin layer of Microcement, then seal it with 2 layers of 2K PU Topcoat once dry.

Can I apply Microcement to a wet substrate?

chevronBottom

No, Microcement must not be applied to a wet substrate.

Applying Microcement on a damp or wet surface can cause cracking or bubbles as the substrate dries and releases moisture. Always ensure the surface is completely dry and properly prepared before application.

Can I apply Concrete Effect in my shower?

chevronBottom

Yes, Concrete Effect can be applied on shower walls when properly sealed with our PU Topcoat. Proper sealing is essential to protect the surface from moisture and ensure long-term durability.

Can I apply Microcement or Concrete Effect inside a camper van or moving vehicle?

It is important to properly level the grout joints first using a suitable leveling product. Microcement is a finishing layer and should be applied to an even, stable surface.

Is it necessary to use mesh when applying Microcement on a floor?

chevronBottom

No, fiberglass mesh is not required on stable, non-moving floors.

Mesh is only necessary when reinforcing an unstable substrate or when covering existing expansion joints (if you do not want the joint to transfer through the Microcement). For solid, stable flooring, no mesh reinforcement is needed.

Why does my Microcement have bubbles and how can I fix and prevent it?

chevronBottom

Bubbles in Microcement can appear in either the first or second layer.

If they occur in the first layer, the substrate was likely too porous or not properly primed.
If they appear in the second layer, the first layer may have been too dry, allowing trapped air to rise into the fresh coat.
Bubbles can also form if the Microcement was mixed too quickly and did not have time to vent.

How to fix it:
Once dry, sand the surface smooth, apply a thin coat of Liquid B, and then apply a new thin layer of Microcement.

How to prevent bubbles when mixing:

  • Use an electric drill on the lowest speed setting.
  • Keep the mixing paddle fully below the surface.
  • Avoid fast or up-and-down movements.
  • Let the mixture rest for up to 5 minutes after mixing to release trapped air before application.

I have unmixed clumps in my Microcement or Concrete Effect when applying — what should I do?

chevronBottom

If you notice small clumps in your Microcement or Concrete Effect during application, don’t worry.

Simply go over the unmixed clumps with your trowel and smooth them out until they disappear. With proper pressure and technique, the material will blend evenly into the surface.

Why does my Microcement have different color variations?

chevronBottom

Color differences in Microcement can happen for several reasons:

  • Adding slightly more or less WB pigment can change the final color.
  • Applying the Microcement thicker or thinner will affect the shade.
  • Different grain sizes naturally have slight color variations.
  • If the surface dries too quickly (sun or high heat), the color may change.
  • Adding too much Liquid B can alter the tone.
  • If the WB pigment is not mixed thoroughly, uneven color can appear.

For the most consistent result, always measure carefully, mix thoroughly, and apply evenly under stable conditions.

What are the black marks on my Microcement?

chevronBottom

Black lines on Microcement are usually burn marks caused by using the wrong trowel.

To avoid this, use a rounded-edge trowel with a maximum thickness of 1/8". The correct trowel helps prevent surface burns and ensures a smooth, clean finish.

Why does Microcement look uneven right after application?

chevronBottom

It’s normal for Microcement to look slightly uneven or patchy immediately after application. This is due to the natural drying process, the size of the surface area, and variations in layer thickness.

Thicker areas take longer to dry, which can temporarily affect the appearance of the color.

After applying two coats, Microcement typically requires 24–48 hours to dry fully. Once completely dry, the true and final color will become visible.

For best results, allow the surface to cure fully before evaluating the final appearance.

Why can the color of Microcement look different in various rooms?

chevronBottom

The appearance of Microcement can vary depending on the lighting conditions.

In bright rooms with cooler light sources, the color may appear lighter and cooler in tone.

In rooms with warm lighting, the color can look warmer and slightly more yellow.

Lighting plays an important role in how the final shade is perceived, so we recommend testing a sample in your actual space before making a final decision.

What should I do if my Microcement mixture is too thick?

chevronBottom

If the Microcement is too thick, you can carefully add a small amount of Liquid B to adjust the consistency.

Recommended mixing ratios (by weight):

  • Large Grain Microcement: 100:25 (maximum 100:28)
  • Medium Grain Microcement: 100:20 (maximum 100:23)

Please note that adding more Liquid B than recommended may slightly lighten the final color of the Microcement.

How should I store Microcement?

chevronBottom

Store Microcement in a dry area where the temperature stays above 50°F.

  • Do not allow Liquid B to freeze — if it freezes, it cannot be used.
  • Keep opened bags of Microcement powder tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

Exposure to cold or humidity can damage the product and make it unusable.

Do you offer marbling powder?

chevronBottom

No, we do not offer marbling powder.

We offer a marble spray for creating marble effects instead.

How long does an epoxy countertop last?

chevronBottom

Epoxy countertops are designed to be long-lasting and durable.

Over time, minor surface scratches may appear, but they can usually be polished away to restore the finish.

Can I pour thicker than 1/16" with the Countertop Set?

chevronBottom

No, the Countertop Set is designed for layers up to 1/16" thick.

If you plan to pour thicker layers, we recommend purchasing the epoxy and primer separately. This allows you to order the correct amount of epoxy without ending up with too much primer.

Is the 1K Primer included in the Epoxy Resin Countertop Set?

chevronBottom

Yes, the 1K Primer is included in all Epoxy Resin Countertop Sets, except for the transparent version.

Can I store mixed epoxy resin for later use?

chevronBottom

No. Once the resin and hardener are mixed, the chemical reaction begins immediately and the epoxy cannot be stored.

It must be used within its stated pot life.

How do I use alcohol ink in epoxy?

chevronBottom

Alcohol ink can be used in epoxy for decorative effects in layers up to 1/2" thick (not recommended for deep pours).

To create the effect:

  1. Pour your mixed resin while it is still liquid.
  2. Add a few drops of your chosen colored alcohol ink.
  3. Add white alcohol ink on top of the colored drops.

The white ink pushes the color downward, creating unique patterns and cells. The more white you add, the deeper and stronger the effect will be.

For best results, test your technique on a small sample first.

Can I use pigments or dyes from another brand in your epoxy?

chevronBottom

Yes, you can use pigments or dyes from another brand, provided they are not water-based.

We strongly recommend testing them in a small batch first, as some colors may shift or react differently after curing.

For the most consistent and predictable results, it’s best to use colorants that have been specifically tested with the epoxy system.

Are the drop-in dyes and alcohol inks the same?

chevronBottom

No, they are different.

Transparent drop-in dyes create a uniform, transparent color throughout the epoxy.

Alcohol inks are used to create decorative effects, such as the petri dish pattern. They do not produce an even, uniform color.

What protective equipment should I use when working with epoxy?

chevronBottom
  • Wear an FFP2 mask while working.
  • Use nitrile gloves to protect your skin.
  • Do not use latex gloves, as epoxy can pass through latex.

Always work in a well-ventilated area and avoid direct skin contact.

What happens if I use expired epoxy?

chevronBottom

Using expired epoxy can result in improper curing or the resin not curing at all.

For reliable results and full performance, always use epoxy within its recommended shelf life.

How do I dispose of epoxy leftovers?

chevronBottom
  • Fully cured epoxy can be disposed of with regular household waste or at a local recycling center (check your local regulations).
  • If you have unmixed resin or hardener, mix them together and allow them to fully cure before disposal.
  • Never pour liquid resin or hardener down the drain or into rainwater systems.
  • Empty containers can typically be taken to a local recycling center.

Always follow your local waste disposal guidelines.

Can I apply paint over epoxy?

chevronBottom

Yes, you can paint over fully cured epoxy.

For best results, wait until the epoxy has reached full chemical cure, then lightly sand the surface to ensure proper adhesion before applying paint.

You can use our 2K PU paint or an acrylic-based paint to coat the epoxy surface.

Are UV resin and UV-resistant resin the same?

chevronBottom

No, they are different.

UV resin cures under a UV lamp. We do not sell UV resin.

UV-resistant resin is a standard epoxy that contains special UV additives to help reduce yellowing over time. Our epoxy resin offers very high UV resistance.

Do you offer high-viscosity epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Our epoxy resins are self-leveling and low viscosity. We do not offer a high-viscosity version. 

If needed, you can let the mixed epoxy sit briefly to thicken before application. However, monitor it closely, as epoxy can heat up quickly while thickening.

Do you offer a matte epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

No, we do not offer a matte epoxy resin.

To achieve a matte finish, you can either sand the cured surface without polishing or apply a matte PU Topcoat.

Can I apply epoxy resin on furniture?

chevronBottom

Yes, epoxy can be applied to furniture.

However, keep in mind that vertical surfaces can be challenging, as epoxy is self-leveling and may run or drip on upright areas.

Do you offer a glossy topcoat for epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Yes, you can apply our 2K PU Topcoat (glossy) over cured epoxy to achieve a high-gloss finish. 

If you don’t want to polish your sanded epoxy surface, simply apply the 2K PU Topcoat to restore the shine without polishing.

Can I apply epoxy resin in areas exposed to water or humidity?

chevronBottom

Yes. Once fully chemically cured, epoxy resin is resistant to water and humidity changes.

Make sure the resin has completely cured before exposing it to moisture.

Which materials are incompatible with epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Epoxy resin adheres to most surfaces and materials.

However, it does not bond well to silicone or polypropylene.

For best adhesion, lightly sand (roughen) smooth surfaces before applying epoxy.

Is epoxy resin resistant to chemicals, petrol, oil, or acids?

chevronBottom

Once fully cured, epoxy resin is resistant to most common chemicals, petrol, and oil.

However, resistance can vary depending on the specific substance. Some acids or strong chemicals may affect or dull the surface. We recommend performing a small test in advance to ensure compatibility.

Harsh cleaners can also reduce the shine over time. If this happens, the surface can be polished to restore gloss or protected with a 2K PU topcoat.

Is your epoxy pre-colored?

chevronBottom

No, our epoxy resins are not pre-colored.

This allows you to customize the color and effect to suit your specific project.

How can I prevent epoxy resin from yellowing?

chevronBottom

It is not possible to completely prevent epoxy from yellowing over time, especially with UV exposure.

Adding colorants or pigments can help hide yellowing in clear resin. A 2K PU topcoat can slow down and minimize yellowing, but it will not stop it completely.

How can I prevent metallic pigment from sinking in epoxy?

chevronBottom

To prevent metallic pigment from sinking, apply it when the epoxy has reached its gel stage.

At this point, the resin has a thick, gel-like consistency, which helps hold the pigment in place and maintain your desired pattern.

Can I use a bonding primer under epoxy on tiles?

chevronBottom

We do not recommend using a bonding primer under the epoxy kit.

To achieve a smooth, level finish over tiles, either:

  • Apply enough epoxy to fill the tile joints, or
  • Use a suitable self-leveling compound first to create an even surface before applying epoxy.

What are the white lumps in my epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

White lumps or a cloudy, milky appearance are usually caused by crystallization of the resin component due to cold storage or transport. You may also notice white residue on the rim or bottom of the container.

No need to worry — this is reversible.

To fix it:

  1. Place the sealed resin container in a hot water bath for a few minutes.
  2. If needed, leave it longer and gently increase the water temperature.
    (Alternatively, place the container on a heater and shake it occasionally.)
  3. Once clear again, let the resin cool to room temperature before use.

After that, it can be processed as usual.

How do I prevent and remove bubbles in epoxy?

chevronBottom

Our epoxy resins are self-venting, meaning most bubbles rise to the surface on their own.

Common causes of bubbles:

  • Overheating during curing
  • Low temperatures (resin becomes too thick)
  • Improper mixing
  • Pouring onto unsealed or porous surfaces
  • Air released from inclusions or wood

Epoxy naturally generates heat while curing. Too much heat can create bubbles, while low temperatures make it harder for trapped air to escape.

How to prevent bubbles:

  • Mix slowly and thoroughly
  • Don’t let the resin sit too long in the mixing container
  • Seal porous surfaces with a thin layer of resin before the main pour

How to remove bubbles:

  • While the resin is still liquid or gel-like, gently apply heat (hairdryer, heat gun, or torch) at a safe distance and keep it moving.
  • If fully cured, sand the surface to open the bubbles and apply a new layer of epoxy.

Which mixing containers are suitable for epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Silicone or polypropylene containers are ideal for mixing epoxy.

Epoxy does not bond to these materials, so once the residue has cured, you can easily remove it and reuse the container.

Is your epoxy safe for contact with food?

chevronBottom

Yes, once fully chemically cured, our epoxy resins are suitable for contact with food.

Always allow the resin to reach full cure before using it in food-contact applications.

What are white streaks or cloudy spots on epoxy?

chevronBottom

White streaks are usually amine blush (carbamates). This happens when uncured epoxy reacts with moisture in the air. It is more common in high humidity, low temperatures, very thin layers, or when applied over water-based coatings that are not fully dry.

How to fix it:

  • Let the epoxy fully cure.
  • Wash the surface with white vinegar to remove the blush.
  • If needed, lightly sand the surface.
  • For a glossy finish, sand progressively (e.g., up to P3,000 or higher) and polish.

After removal, you can apply a PU topcoat or an additional epoxy layer to reseal and protect the surface.

Why is my epoxy not curing properly?

chevronBottom

Curing problems can have several causes. Epoxy requires the correct mixing ratio, thorough mixing, and proper temperature to cure fully.

Common reasons include:

  • Incorrect mixing ratio
  • Not mixed until completely streak-free
  • Not transferring to a clean container and mixing again (no double-mixing)
  • Scraping unmixed material from the sides or bottom into the pour
  • Measuring inaccurately or mixing by volume instead of weight (if weight is required)
  • Working temperature too low
  • Applying the resin too thinly
  • Adding too much or incompatible pigment

If the resin is still soft or sticky, try increasing the room temperature to support curing. If there is no improvement after 24–48 hours, the uncured material usually needs to be removed before applying a new, properly mixed layer.

Why are some areas of my epoxy still sticky?

chevronBottom

Sticky or soft spots are usually caused by improper mixing or an incorrect mixing ratio. If the resin and hardener are not fully combined, some areas may not cure properly.

Common causes:

  • Not mixing until completely streak-free
  • Incorrect mixing ratio
  • Not transferring to a clean container and mixing again (no double-mixing)
  • Scraping unmixed material from the sides or bottom of the cup into the pour
  • Very thin or uneven areas

How to fix it:
Remove all uncured material completely. Clean the surface with a suitable solvent (e.g., acetone) and let it evaporate fully. Then sand the area, remove dust, and apply a new layer of correctly measured and thoroughly mixed epoxy.

Do you offer bio-sourced epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

No, we do not offer bio-sourced epoxy resin.

Can I apply Deep Primer under epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

No, we do not recommend using Deep Primer under epoxy resin.

How can I remove cured epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Fully cured epoxy resin can only be removed mechanically, typically by sanding or grinding.

If the resin has been absorbed into the substrate, complete removal will also require removing the affected portion of the underlying material.

Can I put epoxy resin in the dishwasher?

chevronBottom

No, we do not recommend placing epoxy items in the dishwasher, even after full chemical curing.

High temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the surface over time.

Can I put my epoxy in the microwave?

chevronBottom

No, we do not recommend putting your epoxy resin in the microwave.

Does epoxy resin shrink after curing?

chevronBottom

Yes, epoxy resin naturally shrinks by about 1% during the curing process. In larger projects, such as river tables or deep pours, this shrinkage may be more noticeable.

Depending on the mold material, the effect can vary. In rigid molds (e.g., wood), the resin may sink slightly at the corners. In flexible molds (e.g., silicone), the edges may rise a little while the center sinks slightly.

This shrinkage is a normal part of the chemical curing process and cannot be completely avoided. If necessary, the surface can be corrected by sanding or by applying an additional thin layer of resin.

How long can I store EP Colour paste?

chevronBottom

For best results, we recommend using EP Color Paste within 6 months after opening.

Before starting a large project or throwing it away, simply mix a small amount of the opened EP Color Paste with a little epoxy resin to test it.

Can I do aquarium decorative items with your epoxy?

chevronBottom

Our epoxy resin is not classified as hazardous to health under GHS08 and is non-toxic under GHS06.

You may use our epoxy to create decorative items for aquariums. However, the resin must be fully chemically cured before placing it in the aquarium.

We do not recommend building the aquarium itself entirely from epoxy resin.

What is the density of your epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

The density of our epoxy resin is approximately 9.2 lb per gallon.

To convert:

  • Gallons = Pounds × 0.11
  • Pounds = Gallons × 9.2

This helps you easily calculate the required volume or weight for your project.

What is the pot life of your epoxy?

chevronBottom

Pot life is measured at 70°F and depends on the mixed quantity. Larger batches and higher temperatures will shorten the pot life.

  • ECO: 25 minutes (100 g / 3.5 fl oz)
  • PRO: 65 minutes (145 g / 5 fl oz)
  • PRO+: 6 hours (22 lbs)

Always mix only the amount you can use within the stated working time.

Do you sell molds?

chevronBottom

No, we do not sell silicone molds or pre-made molds. 

However, if you’re working on a larger project, such as a custom table, we offer everything you need to build your own mold, including release tape, silicone, and other essential tools. We also carry RTV Silicone Molding, a 2-part liquid silicone that allows you to create your own reusable molds.

Why did my epoxy crack?

chevronBottom

Epoxy resin can crack for several reasons, most commonly due to overheating or stress during curing.

Overheating may occur if the pour is too thick, the room temperature is too high, too much resin is mixed at once, or the resin remains in the mixing container for too long before pouring. Since epoxy generates heat during the curing process, excessive heat buildup can lead to cracking. Overheating may also cause issues such as uneven surfaces, yellowing, or bubbles.

Cracks can also develop if the substrate is unstable or, in projects like river tables, if the wood was not properly sealed.

If cracking has occurred, the damaged area can usually be repaired by filling it with fresh epoxy. After curing, only a fine hairline may remain, which is typically barely noticeable.

Why does my epoxy resin coating have craters?

chevronBottom

Craters in cured epoxy can have several causes. They often occur when too little resin was applied, when the layer was too thin, or when the substrate was very porous and absorbed too much material.

If the surface was not properly sealed or primed beforehand, air or absorbed resin can create small voids during curing.

To repair craters, lightly sand the surface if necessary and apply a new layer of epoxy. We recommend a minimum thickness of about 1/16" (approx. 1.5 mm) to ensure proper coverage.

Why has my epoxy resin turned yellow?

chevronBottom

Yellowing in epoxy resin can have different causes.

If the resin turned yellow immediately after curing, it may have overheated during the curing process. This can happen if the layer was too thick, the room temperature was too high, too much resin was mixed at once, or the resin sat too long in the mixing container before pouring. Since epoxy generates heat while curing, excessive heat buildup can lead to discoloration.

If the yellowing appeared over time, it is usually caused by UV exposure. All epoxy resins will yellow to some degree when exposed to sunlight. UV-stabilised systems are more resistant, but no epoxy is completely UV-proof. Even indirect sunlight through windows can cause gradual yellowing.

To reduce the risk of yellowing, avoid excessive heat during curing and protect finished projects from prolonged UV exposure.

Why does it look like epoxy resin is missing from my bottle?

chevronBottom

Our products are precisely measured and automatically filled to ensure the correct quantity. However, it is normal for some material to remain on the inner walls of the container after pouring. This can make it appear as though less product is inside.

Thicker resin flows more slowly, especially at lower temperatures, which can increase the amount that sticks to the container.

For best results, allow the resin to reach room temperature (around 70°F) before use. This improves flow and makes handling easier.

Why did my epoxy project deform?

chevronBottom

Deformation usually happens due to insufficient support or exposure to heat.

For larger projects (like tables), make sure the piece is properly supported to prevent bending over time.

If your project has warped:

  1. Place it on a flat, even surface.
  2. Gently heat the epoxy to soften it.
  3. Apply even weight to bring it back into shape.
  4. Let it cool completely in the corrected position.

Once straight, add proper support to prevent it from deforming again.

How to calculate the amount of resin and hardener I need?

chevronBottom

Use our calculator to quickly find out how much resin and hardener you need for your project.

Simply enter the length, width, and height of your mold, and the calculator will show you the exact amounts required.

For coating projects, we recommend a minimum layer thickness of 1/16 inch.

What is the mixing ratio?

chevronBottom

The mixing ratio for our kits is 2:1 (e.g., 64oz resin: 32oz hardener). 

We recommend using a scale for precise accuracy. Always transfer your resin and hardener mixture to a clean mixing cup and mix again until the mixture is streak-free to ensure both components are completely mixed together.

Can I change the mixing ratio of resin and hardener?

chevronBottom

No. Always follow the specified mixing ratio exactly.

Changing the ratio will prevent the resin from curing properly. Adding extra hardener will not make it cure faster — it can actually stop the resin from curing at all.

How long should I mix the epoxy?

chevronBottom

Mix the resin and hardener thoroughly until the mixture is completely streak-free and uniform.

Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of your mixing container, as the components can settle due to different densities.

For best results, once fully mixed, transfer the mixture into a new clean container and mix again (double-mixing method). This helps ensure a proper cure.

What is the recommended working temperature for your epoxy?

chevronBottom

We recommend working at 70°F for best results, as long as you do not exceed the maximum pouring depth.

The minimum working temperature for all our epoxy is 60°F. This is also the recommended temperature when working with the Deep Pour Epoxy Kit for thicker pours.

Please note that working temperature does not only refer to the room temperature. The epoxy resin, hardener, and the surface (substrate) should all be at the proper temperature before you begin.

Is your epoxy safe?

chevronBottom

Our epoxy resin is solvent-free, low odor, and not classified as hazardous to health under GHS08, nor as toxic under GHS06. We still recommend wearing nitrile gloves and an appropriate mask during handling to ensure safe use.

Once fully cured, the epoxy is safe for indirect food contact. However, cutting directly on the surface may create small particles, so using a cutting board is recommended.

The cured surface is resistant to most common chemicals and food acids, but prolonged exposure to strong or aggressive substances should be avoided.

How do I sand epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Before sanding, make sure the epoxy is fully cured

Start with a coarse grit such as P100 and gradually work your way up to finer grits like P3000 or higher for a smoother finish. Do not skip grits — each step should remove the scratches from the previous one to avoid haze or uneven spots.

For best results, wet sanding is recommended, as it reduces dust, prevents clogging, and creates a smoother surface. 

Work in small sections, clean the surface between sanding stages, and check your progress with good lighting.

Avoid overheating the surface by sanding in short intervals, and always wear proper protective gear such as a mask, goggles, and gloves.

How can I polish my epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Epoxy resin can only be polished once it has fully cured.

First, make sure the surface is clean and free of dust after sanding. Wipe it down with a soft cloth or a damp cloth and let it dry completely.

Next, apply a small amount of polishing compound using a soft cloth or polishing pad. 

Spread it evenly in gentle circular motions without applying too much pressure. Avoid using too much product, as this can leave a cloudy finish.

Finally, buff the surface with a clean microfibre cloth until you achieve the desired shine. Repeat if necessary.

Tip: Work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves during the process.

Can I cut and turn cured epoxy?

chevronBottom

Yes, once the epoxy resin is fully cured, it can be cut, sanded, drilled, or turned just like other hard materials.

Curing time depends on the product used and the surrounding temperature. Make sure the resin is completely hardened before starting any machining work.

For clean and precise results, use sharp tools that are suitable for hard plastics or similar materials.

How do I store my epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Store your epoxy resin tightly closed in a dark, dry place.

The recommended storage temperature is 50–85°F for the ECO System and 60–85°F for the PRO and PRO+ Systems.

When stored properly, unopened epoxy can be kept for up to 1 year. After opening, it should be used within 6 months for best performance.

How long do I need to wait between epoxy resin layers?

chevronBottom

At 70°F, the recommended waiting times between layers are:

  • ECO System (3/8” layer): wait at least 6 hours
  • PRO System (3/4” layer): wait at least 12 hours
  • PRO+ System (2” layer): wait 48–72 hours

If you pour thinner layers or work at temperatures below 70°F, the waiting time will be longer. Always ensure the previous layer has properly set before applying the next one.

When can I draw patterns in my epoxy?

chevronBottom

The right time to create patterns in your epoxy depends on several factors, such as room temperature and the amount of resin used.

As a general rule, you can start drawing patterns once the resin has thickened to a consistency similar to liquid honey. At this point, it is thick enough to hold the design, and the pigments will no longer sink to the bottom.

How can I achieve a strong glow-in-the-dark effect?

chevronBottom

For a strong glow-in-the-dark effect, we recommend a layer thickness of at least 3/8". In general, the thicker the layer, the more intense the glow will appear.

This is also why glow-in-the-dark pigments are not suitable for very thin applications such as countertops or floor coatings.

How much pigment or dye should I add to epoxy?

chevronBottom

The amount of pigment or dye depends on the type of color effect you want. Below are the recommended mixing ratios:

  • Powder pigments (Metallic, Neon, Glow-in-the-dark): 1 g per 2 fl. oz. of epoxy or 70 g (2.5 oz) per gallon
  • Transparent dyes (except white, black, gray): 1 g per 17.5 fl. oz.or 7 g (0.25 oz) per gallon
  • Transparent white, black, gray: 1 g per 53 fl. oz. or 2.5 g (0.1 oz) per gallon
  • Semi-transparent dyes (except white): 1 g color + 0.5 g white per 26.5 fl. oz. or 5 g color + 2.5 g white per gallon
  • Semi-transparent white: 1 g per 17.5 fl. oz. or 7 g (0.25 oz) per gallon
  • Solid colors (RAL color paste): 1 g per 3 fl. oz. or 40 g (1.5 oz) per gallon
  • Glitter pigments/flakes: 1 g per 3 fl. oz. or 40 g (1.5 oz) per gallon

Important: Do not exceed the recommended amounts. Adding too much liquid dye or color paste can interfere with the chemical reaction and cause curing problems. Always mix thoroughly and add color gradually.

Can I mix different pigments and dyes in epoxy?

chevronBottom

Yes, you can mix metallic pigments, RAL color pastes, and drop-in dyes together in epoxy — including different shades within the same type.

However, keep in mind:

  • Metallic pigments and RAL color pastes are opaque and can hide transparent drop-in dyes.
  • Metallic pigments become opaque at around 1.5%, which may fully cover other colors or effects.
  • Drop-in dyes follow color theory (e.g., yellow + blue = green). Adding white creates a semi-transparent effect.
  • Mixing transparent dyes with RAL paste is technically possible, but the opaque paste will dominate the final color. In most cases, choosing the desired RAL color directly is recommended instead of mixing.
  • Combining multiple opaque pigments (metallic, neon, glow-in-the-dark, RAL paste) in one mixture can reduce or completely hide special effects such as shimmer or glow.

For best results, always test your color combination in a small batch first to find the right ratio and desired effect.

How can I pour multiple colors without them mixing together?

chevronBottom

Prepare separate mixtures for each color. You can mix a larger batch of clear resin first, then divide it and tint each portion individually.

To prevent colors from blending, wait until the resin reaches a thick, gel-like consistency before pouring.

Monitor the resin closely, as it can heat up quickly at this stage. Use it at the right moment to avoid overheating and unwanted mixing.

Can epoxy resin be applied to porous surfaces?

chevronBottom

Yes, epoxy resin can be applied to porous or absorbent surfaces, but proper preparation is essential.

Highly absorbent substrates must be sealed first. This usually requires several thin priming layers of epoxy resin to fully close the pores and prevent the material from soaking in.

Plan to use more resin than usual and apply as many sealing coats as necessary before pouring the final layer. Proper priming ensures an even surface and a better overall result.

How heat-resistant is cured epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

After full chemical curing, epoxy resin is generally heat resistant up to about 140°F. If epoxy is exposed to temperatures above 140°F (60°C), it may soften and deform.

The heat resistance can be increased through a controlled post-curing process. Place the fully cured piece on a stable, flat surface to prevent bending. Slowly heat the resin until it becomes slightly soft, then allow it to cool completely. Repeat the process while gradually increasing the temperature (e.g., 150°F, then 160°F, 170°F, etc.). Using this method, the heat resistance can be increased to approximately 180°F.

For larger pieces that cannot be easily post-cured, applying a heat-resistant topcoat, such as a PU topcoat, can also increase the heat resistance to approximately 180°F.

What can I embed in epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

You can embed most objects in epoxy. However, keep these points in mind:

  • Some plastics may not bond properly to epoxy.
  • The object should withstand temperatures up to 140°F (60°C) during curing.
  • Fragile or porous items should be sealed first with a thin layer of epoxy.
  • Items that may discolor (such as dried flowers or pictures) should be sealed with a clear acrylic spray before embedding.

When in doubt, test on a small sample first.

Can LED lights be embedded in epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

Yes, LED lights can be embedded in epoxy resin. For the best effect, use clear, transparent, or semi-transparent resin so the light remains visible.

In thicker pours, colors naturally appear darker. Add dyes gradually and in small amounts until you reach the desired shade. The color of the uncured resin will remain the same after curing.

Avoid using opaque pigments, such as metallic pigments, color pastes, neon pigments, or glow-in-the-dark pigments, as these can block the light and prevent the LED from being visible.

How do I clean and maintain epoxy surfaces?

chevronBottom

Clean cured epoxy with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner (gentle surfactants work best).

Avoid acid-based, chlorine-containing, or strong alkaline cleaners, as they can dull (mattify) or damage the surface over time.

Can I buy epoxy resin components separately?

chevronBottom

No, our epoxy resins are only sold as complete systems. We do not offer the individual components for separate purchase.

Can I mix different epoxy kits together?

chevronBottom

We do not recommend mixing different epoxy kits in the same pour.

However, it is generally possible to apply one compatible kit as a new layer on top of another, once the previous layer has been properly prepared.

For best results and performance, always use one kit per pour and follow the recommended guidelines.

What is the minimum layer thickness for epoxy?

chevronBottom

At a working temperature of 70°F, the minimum recommended layer thickness is 1/16 inch.

How can I avoid visible lines between epoxy layers?

chevronBottom

There are two effective methods:

1. Sand between layers
Let the first layer fully cure, then lightly sand the surface and remove all dust before pouring the next layer.

2. Pour at the gel stage
Apply the next layer while the previous one is not fully cured — when it has a thick, gel-like consistency.

Be careful: the layers will chemically react, so stay within the maximum pouring depth and keep the room temperature moderate.

If you miss the correct timing or skip sanding, a line may be visible — usually only when viewed at a 90° angle.

What is the gel time (processing time) of your epoxy?

chevronBottom

Gel time is measured at 70°F and varies depending on the thickness of your pour. Warmer temperatures will shorten the working time.

ECO (Countertops & Laminating)

  • 1/16" layer: 60 minutes
  • 3/8" layer: 25 minutes

PRO (Art Resin & Crafting)

  • 1/16" layer: 120 minutes
  • 3/8" layer: 90 minutes
  • 3/4" layer: 60 minutes

PRO+ (Deep Pour)

  • 1/16" layer: 360 minutes
  • 1/16" to 3/4" layer: 360 minutes
  • 3/4" to 2" layer: 240 minutes

For best results, always consider room temperature and pour thickness when planning your project.

How long does epoxy take to cure?

chevronBottom

Curing times are based on 70°F. Lower temperatures will extend curing time.

ECO (Countertops & Laminating)

  • Touch / light use (mechanical cure): 20–24 hours
  • Full chemical cure: 7 days
  • Sensitive to water and scratches until fully cured

PRO (Art Resin & Crafting)

  • Touch / light use (mechanical cure): 20–24 hours
  • Full chemical cure: 7 days
  • Sensitive to water and scratches until fully cured

PRO+ (Deep Pour)

  • Touch / light use (mechanical cure): 48–72 hours
  • Full chemical cure: 14 days
  • Sensitive to water and scratches until fully cured

For best results, keep temperature stable during the entire curing process.

Why does my epoxy look matte after sanding?

chevronBottom

A matte finish after sanding is normal. To restore clarity or shine, continue sanding with progressively finer grits.

  • Start around P100 (if heavy leveling is needed)
  • Gradually work up to P3,000 or higher (up to P10,000 for a high-gloss finish)
  • Do not skip grit levels

Each step must fully remove the scratches from the previous grit. Skipping a grit can leave visible haze or dull spots.

After each step, clean off the dust and check the surface under good lighting to see if further sanding is needed.

Do I need to polish between epoxy layers?

chevronBottom

No. Polishing is only necessary after the final layer has fully cured — and only if you want a polished finish.

How can I protect epoxy resin from scratches?

chevronBottom

Our epoxy resin kits are scratch-resistant but to increase the resistance to an even higher level we recommend applying our PU Topcoat to the surface once the epoxy has cured.

How can I clean my tools after working with epoxy?

chevronBottom

Tools and accessories should be cleaned immediately after use, before the epoxy begins to cure.

Mixing sticks and cups can usually be wiped clean with a paper towel. Once the resin has fully cured, it can often be peeled or squeezed out of mixing containers.

Brushes and rollers should be cleaned promptly with a suitable solvent, such as acetone, to prevent the resin from hardening.

Can I apply epoxy to vertical surfaces or slopes?

chevronBottom

We do not recommend applying our epoxy resin to vertical surfaces or slopes. Because of its low viscosity, the resin can run and cause streaks or uneven areas. While it is technically possible to apply epoxy in multiple layers on vertical surfaces, this requires advanced skills and precision. 

For best results, apply the epoxy on a flat, horizontal surface. For example, remove doors or panels, coat them while lying flat, allow them to cure fully, and then reinstall them.

How do I build a frame for my river table?

chevronBottom

Start by determining the size of your table and building a box frame slightly larger than your final piece. 

Use smooth plywood or MDF for the sides and a flat board for the base. The side panels should be high enough to contain the full resin pour. Secure the sides to the base with screws and make sure everything is level.

Seal all inner edges with silicone to prevent leaks and allow it to cure fully. Then apply separating tape to the inside surfaces (without overlapping) and spray with separating agent to ensure the epoxy does not stick to the frame.

Place your wood slabs inside the mold, check alignment and level again, and you are ready to pour the epoxy.

How do I make a river table?

chevronBottom

Start by preparing your workspace. Make sure the room, wood, and epoxy are around 70°F, and that everything is clean and dry.

Build a mold to the size of your table using smooth boards. Seal the edges with silicone, line the mold with separating tape (without overlapping), and apply separating agent spray. Place your wooden slabs inside the mold and secure them in place.

Before the main pour, apply a thin primer layer (about 1/16”) of mixed epoxy to the wood surfaces and the river area. This helps prevent air bubbles and reduces material loss. Let the primer cure.

For the main pour, mix the resin and hardener in a 2:1 ratio and add pigments if desired. Pour the epoxy slowly into the river area, making sure not to exceed the maximum pour depth of your epoxy. Allow the table to cure completely.

Once cured, remove the mold, sand the surface from coarse to fine grit, and polish to the desired gloss level. You can finish the table with oil, varnish, wax, or a durable PU Topcoat. Let the final finish fully cure before use.

Can I apply epoxy on oiled, waxed wood?

chevronBottom

Yes, it is generally possible to apply epoxy to oiled or waxed wood. However, the oil or wax must be fully absorbed and completely dry before applying the epoxy.

We strongly recommend doing a small test first to ensure proper adhesion and compatibility for your specific project.

Do I need to remove the bark from wood for a river table?

chevronBottom

Yes, we recommend removing all bark and any loose wood before pouring epoxy.

Bark and loose material can weaken the bond between the wood and resin, which may cause adhesion problems later on.

Which molds can I use with epoxy resin and how do I prevent it from sticking?

chevronBottom

Epoxy works best with silicone molds, as it does not stick to silicone and can be removed easily after curing. Using a separating agent spray on silicone molds helps extend their lifespan and makes unmolding even easier. Be sure to wipe off any excess spray before pouring.

If you are using a wooden mold or building your own frame (for example, for a river table), you should line it with separating tape, placing the tape side by side without overlapping. Overlapping can cause surface marks that require extra sanding after curing. For best results, we recommend using both separating tape and separating agent spray to make demolding easier.

How dry should my concrete or wood be before applying epoxy?

chevronBottom

Before applying epoxy, the surface must be properly dry.

Wood should have a moisture content of 12% or less, and concrete should not exceed 3% residual moisture.

Ensuring the correct moisture level helps prevent adhesion issues, bubbles, and curing problems.

When can I remove the masking tape when working with epoxy?

chevronBottom

Masking tape should be removed once the epoxy has started to set but is not fully cured. The surface should no longer be liquid or able to flow when the tape is peeled away.

If the epoxy forms thin “threads” while removing the tape, they can easily be trimmed with a utility knife while the resin is still slightly soft.

How hot does epoxy resin get during curing?

chevronBottom

When the recommended processing temperature and maximum pour depth are followed, epoxy resin typically does not exceed about 140°F during curing.

If these guidelines are not respected, the resin can overheat and temperatures may rise above 200°F. Excessive heat can lead to problems such as cracking, yellowing, or bubble formation.

Are WB Pigments compatible with epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

No, WB Pigments are not compatible with epoxy resin.

They are designed to color the 1K primer included in certain countertop kits, not the epoxy resin itself.

What is the Shore hardness after curing?

chevronBottom
  • ECO System: Shore D 87

  • PRO+ System: Shore D 80

What is the viscosity of the epoxy resin?

chevronBottom
  • ECO System: 700 cP
  • PRO System: 530 cP
  • PRO+ System: 350 cP

How can I thicken my resin but keep it transparent?

chevronBottom

Adding fillers or thickening agents (such as microglass beads) will make the resin cloudy — it won’t stay transparent.

The only way to keep it clear is to let the mixed resin sit for a short time until it naturally thickens.

Be careful: resin can heat up quickly as it reacts. Stay nearby and monitor it closely to avoid overheating. Use it as soon as it reaches the desired consistency.

Why is my epoxy from a silicone mold matte?

chevronBottom

The finish of your epoxy depends on the mold surface.

  • A glossy silicone mold will produce a glossy result.
  • A matte silicone mold will create a matte surface.

If your piece turns out matte, you can:

  • Polish it after full curing to restore gloss, or
  • Apply a clear acrylic spray for shine (especially on irregular shapes that are hard to polish).

Always wait until the resin is fully chemically cured before polishing or spraying.

Is there a PRO+ A-component resin?

chevronBottom

No, there is no separate PRO+ A-component.

The PRO A-component is used for both systems and is compatible with the PRO B-component and the PRO+ B-component.

Can I use epoxy resin indoors?

chevronBottom

Yes, epoxy can be used indoors when applied correctly. Follow the recommended temperature and pouring guidelines to prevent overheating.

Keep the room conditions stable while curing — sudden changes in temperature or humidity can affect the surface finish.

Can I work with epoxy in a humid room?

chevronBottom

We don’t recommend working with epoxy when humidity is above 60%. For best results, keep humidity below 60% until the resin is fully cured.

High humidity can cause surface issues such as whitening (also known as amine blush) and may affect the final finish.

Can I apply epoxy outdoors?

chevronBottom

We don’t recommend applying epoxy outdoors, as temperature and humidity can’t be properly controlled. This can affect curing and the final finish.

For best results, apply and let the epoxy cure in a controlled indoor environment. Once fully cured, the finished piece can be moved outside if needed.

Can I use epoxy in an unheated garage or workshop?

chevronBottom

Epoxy requires a stable, recommended working temperature to cure properly.

Make sure your workspace maintains a constant temperature day and night during the entire curing process. Working in an unheated space can lead to curing issues if the temperature drops or fluctuates.

Is your epoxy self-leveling?

Can I use 1K primer under transparent epoxy resin?

chevronBottom

No, we do not recommend using a 1K primer under clear, transparent, or semi-transparent epoxy resin. Since the primer is colored, it may remain visible through the final layer.

For transparent applications, it is best to prime the surface with a thin layer of the same epoxy resin that will be used for the project. Depending on how absorbent the substrate is, one or more sealing coats may be required.

How do I apply the Art Resin & Crafting Epoxy Kit?

FAQ - Rock Design Wall

What is a Rock Design Wall?

chevronBottom

A Rock Design Wall is a decorative wall finish created using Concrete Effect to achieve a textured, rock-like appearance.

It is designed to replicate the natural look of stone while maintaining a modern, seamless finish.

How do I achieve a Rock Design Wall?

chevronBottom

A Rock Design Wall is created using Concrete Effect applied in 2 layers.

Mixing:

  • Mix Concrete Effect powder with water in a 5:2 ratio
    (Example: 5.5 lbs powder with 0.25 gal water)
  • Add approx. 2% WB Pigment for color
    (Example: 100 g pigment for 5.5 lbs powder + 0.25 gal water)
  • Do not mix more than 5.5 lbs at once, as the material thickens quickly.
  • Working time: approx. 30 minutes

Application:

  1. Apply a thin first layer using a trowel.
  2. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Mix fresh Concrete Effect and dab it onto the wall using two trowels to build texture.
  4. Lightly smooth from top to bottom with a clean trowel.
  5. Finish by dabbing the surface with a bristly brush to enhance the rock texture.

Each layer requires approximately the same amount of material to achieve the full rock effect.

Do I need a primer before applying the Rock Design Wall set?

chevronBottom

No, priming is not required before using Concrete Effect.

However, if applying over tiles, Putty Primer can be used to fill grout lines beforehand to reduce the amount of Concrete Effect needed and create a more even surface.

What happens if I move the trowel from bottom to top instead of top to bottom?

chevronBottom

Changing the trowel direction will create a different texture and pattern.

If you move the trowel from bottom to top, the finish will not match the Rock Design Wall texture shown on our website. Consistent top-to-bottom movement is recommended to achieve the intended look.

We recommend broadcasting quartz sand onto the freshly applied Concrete Paint 2K to help protect it from materials with high plasticizer content, such as new winter car tires.

How should I apply Concrete Paint 2K on large or continuous surfaces?

chevronBottom

Apply the paint wet-on-wet and work carefully to avoid overlaps and visible marks.

Will the surface show wear or color changes over time?

chevronBottom

Floor coatings can show signs of wear depending on how they are used. Scratches, grooves, or color changes may appear from abrasion, dirt, organic substances (such as coffee, tea, or red wine), or chemicals like disinfectants and acids.

These are visual changes only and do not affect the technical performance of the coating. Keep in mind that lighter or brighter colors may show dirt and wear more easily than darker shades.

  • 1x Masking Tape 1 1/4 x 164ft
  • 1x Mixing Bucket 8 litres
  • 1x Plastic Drop Cloth – Large – 495sqft

Why is Concrete Paint 2K peeling off?

chevronBottom

Peeling can happen if the surface was not stable or properly prepared, if too much time passed between coats, or if the Concrete Paint 2K is exposed to water-rising moisture or too many plasticizers.

Why does Concrete Paint 2K scratch easily?

chevronBottom

If Concrete Paint 2K scratches easily, it may be a sign that the coating did not cure properly, the surface was not stable or well prepared, or too much time passed between coats.

To help identify the cause, check the surface preparation, curing conditions, and the waiting time between layers.
