Hi

I am embarking on a project to cover an old laminate bartop with epoxy resin to modernise without completely removing the bartop. The issue I'm facing is there is one section of the U-shaped bartop that sits 5mm lower than the rest due to being installed that way. All sections are flat and level, this one section was just installed lower for some reason.

I would like to square off the edges of the bartop and level the lower section prior to applying the epoxy. I had thought about using epoxy to level the area and fill the gap between the new square edge using GlassCast 10 and then using GlassCast 3 to finish all over. Doing the maths this will be quite costly due to the surface area that needs levelling so I wondered if there was another self levelling material that I could use that would be more cost effective. The finish is less important here as I plan to do a colour layer with a marble effect followed by a clear coat to finish the project. Also if there is a better resin to use than GlassCast for the top layer of the project I am all ears. I've used GlassCast for smaller craft projects so I'm sticking with what I know.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,

Jemma
