IMPORTANT: Do not place items over 125°F on cured surfaces. While this epoxy is designed for continuous UV exposure, we recommend applying a UV-filtering varnish, such as TotalBoat Halcyon Clear, over the cured surface for maximum protection.

AREA: Length x width X depth = Volume needed in cubic inches. 1 quart of mixed epoxy = 57.75 cubic inches 2 quarts of mixed epoxy = 115.5 cubic inches 3 quarts of mixed epoxy = 173.25 cubic inches 1 gallon of mixed epoxy = 231 cubic inches You can also check out our epoxy coverage calculator! HOW MANY LAYERS WILL I NEED TO POUR? Most river tables will require you pour multiple layers. Some resins like TableTop can only be poured up to 1/4" thick, requiring time and effort to build up. And while it is possible to use a deep pour epoxy like Fathom to pour up to 2-4" per layer, these formulas also come with extended curing times that could take days before your river table is ready to use. Thickset offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to pour up to 1/2" per layer to build up faster and only requiring 4-6 hours between coats for a faster cure. EPOXY TIPS AND GUIDELINES:  After epoxy is mixed thoroughly, add mica powder or liquid pigments as desired. A little bit of color goes a long way! Use the TotalBoat Helix mixer for more thorough mixing with fewer bubbles. To pop bubbles, wave a heat gun back and forth quickly, above the surface. Wait 4-6 hours after pouring the first layer before applying the next coating. Do the next pour when the previous layer is still in the gel state. You don't have to wait for full cure! Wait about three days until the final coat of epoxy is fully cured.
