For this operation i think Glasscast 50 is the best. But i want to cover all the table with epoxy and for this operation, i don't know which product must i use glasscast 3 or another ? Another question will come later... Thanks for your answer Regards from frogs

The ideal time for the second pour is when the first is firm but still tacky, at which point you can pour the resin straight on with no surface preparation needed.

The resin seems white instead of the over package. Look at the photo --> left: glasscast 3 / right: glasscast 50 What can i do ? all products are in the same area and the T° is an average 20°C. Thanks for your answer Bye

Welcome to the Forum! Yes you are correct in that you can use GlassCast 3. If you are pouring the final resin pour and then leaving the natural resin finish, then we would recommend doing the main.....

You will always get a mark of you are putting anything hot directly on the surface. Coffee cups, dinner plates etc. Don't put anything like that directly on the surface, use a coaster or a place mat....

When sanding, to get to a high gloss, work your way up the grits to 1200-1500 and then you should be able to polish the resin back to a high gloss. GlassCast 3 can be used on flooring to give a high...

For thicker work like encapsulating lego you definitely want GlassCast 50. I did a lego table with the original GlassCast 3 in many layers (before we had GlassCast 50 - which is what i would use...
