Hello,

May I use GlassCast3 on the top of GlassCast 10/50 to have a flat coating?

Yes you can.  It is commonly done in the way you describe for exactly the reason of a smoother floor.  You can either pour the GlassCast 3 when the previous resin layer has cured to the firm but tacky stage or if you wait until it has gone hard, you will need to sand the surface and clean before pouring.

Hi,

Is 3 much harder than 10, I'm sure I read it's good for counter tops etc?

many thanks,

Paul

The hardness is pretty similar.  The use of GlassCast 3 on top of 50 is primarily done for the surface smoothness and hence the ability to pour it without further finishing.

Great cheers Warren.  It's definitely a lot harder now, just ordered a load of fine papers to get it to a nice finish! 

Thanks for your help.
