Hi everyone, I'm putting down a 2p floor and just about to put in my order for Glass cast resin when I've been reading in the forums about all the problems people have had weather or not it is only by mistake and I find myself talking myself out of doing this now. I'm a bit of a worried at the best of times! Has anyone done this floor who could help reassure and give as much help and advice? I would be most greatful.

Hi Craig,

If you watch our Video Tutorial and follow it closely, you won;t have any problems - the GlassCast3 is very reliable; you just have to use it correctly. Things that catch people out are the temperature (needs to be at least 20'C), Mixing Ratio (2:1 by weight so 200g Resin to 100g hardener or multiples thereof) and the actual mixing needs to be done thoroughly (which is why we recommend the double pot method). If you follow the instructions and pay careful attention to the above, you won't have any issues.

You could as above have a small test run first so that you are assured that you have the processes dialled but it really shouldn't cause you any issues if you're careful and attentive.
