Environmental Technology 128-Ounce Kit Lite Pour-On, High Gloss Finish

We had ugly blue laminate counters that we didn’t have the budget to fix, but wanted to fix the aesthetic. I was very stressed about this due to the bad reviews about how hard this was, BUT it was so much easier than I anticipated. I watched a bunch of videos before and had the correct tools. A plastic flat edge spreader and paint brush worked wonders spreading the product. We had plenty of time to work with it until it got tacky. Definitely get a blow torch because it is a miracle worker on bubbles and imperfections. A month later and I am still happy!

Good quality

Wow. That is it. I wasn't expecting to pour this on my countertops, but after adding the mica flakes, I didn't have an option if I wanted a smooth finish. I was definitely nervous as I have very large areas to cover. I watched a ton of videos and read quite a few blogs, so I thought I was prepared. NOT! I have one very, very important piece of advice to anyone that plans on using this. Buy more than you think you need, and don't skimp on it! I thought that I didn't want to waste a lot of the product, so I went light near the edges of the countertops, resulting in a drippy, uneven feel. I repoured and the second coat and fixed some of the issues, but by then, I was running out of product near the wall. The result was an uneven pour that I was only able to correct by ordering more product, (which took a week to get), sanding and recoating everything. Make sure to cover the floors with dropcloths, because the drips make quite the mess! The end result is beautiful, but the length of time without use of the countertops was excessive, due to my miscalculations. The product is wonderful, and I love my countertops! If I had to do it again, I would definitely buy what I thought I needed, and add in an extra gallon for good measure.

This is the only 2 part resin I’ve used since I started using resin and I’ve had no issues with it. It has absolutely no smell, but I will run an air purifier when I’m working with it and have worn a mask if I’m working for extended periods of time just to be on the safe side. Occasionally I’ll get fine bubbles, but I know it’s because of my process. I mix and use it in my basement so it’s a little cooler temperature, therefore I put it in smaller containers that I place in warm water for 5 minutes before mixing the 2 parts together. I’ve made coasters, poured over ceramic coasters, made key rings and zipper pulls, poured over painted canvases, and have made free form bowls. I have a very small business and have sold some of my resin projects.

I only use this brand for my projects. Easy 1 to 1 ratio.
