Hi, 

I was wondering which one of your products is most suitable for the bar top style casting more specifically coating a penny table?

Dravis you are right there are some resins that kind of work ok for it but all have some compromises. We won't sell something as a table top resin unless it "does what it says on the tin".  Too many of the resins out there simply are not in our opinion good enough to give the stunning finish many of our customers would want from such a product.

As a result we are trying to ensure we have the right product before we release it. We literally have dozens and dozens of test samples (borrowing all our copper change!!) using differing resins and differing techniques to see if we can get a good result. Although we are getting close to finding a good resin, so far none are quite there yet.  It's turned out to be a much more complicated subject than we originally thought!
