Hi,
In first sorry for my English, i'm french...
I have a project for a dinner table in wood and epoxy.
Two lumber with an epoxy river in the center. 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
