To apply ProGlas 1000:

1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Use painter’s tape to protect edges.
2. Mixing: Combine equal parts of resin and hardener. Mix thoroughly for several minutes.
3. Pouring: Pour the mixed epoxy onto the surface, spreading it evenly with a brush or a plastic spreader.
4. Removing Bubbles: Use a heat gun or torch to remove any air bubbles that appear.
5. Curing: Allow the epoxy to cure for 24-48 hours, depending on the environmental conditions.

ProGlas 1000 can be used on various surfaces, including wood, concrete, granite, and other solid surfaces. It is ideal for creating high-gloss finishes on tables, countertops, bar tops, and art projects.

To maintain a ProGlas 1000 epoxy-coated surface:

• Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water solution for regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.
• Protection: Use coasters and placemats to prevent scratches and heat damage.
• Polishing: For a deeper shine, you can polish the surface with a non-abrasive polishing compound.

Yes, ProGlas 1000 can be tinted with compatible pigments to create custom colors. You can also embed objects like shells, stones, and other decorative items within the epoxy. Ensure that objects are clean and dry before embedding them to avoid bubbles and imperfections.

The ideal pour depth for ProGlas 1000 Table Top Epoxy Resin is typically up to 1/8 inch per pour.

Why is it recommended to pour in multiple layers?

Pouring in multiple layers helps to:

•Prevent Overheating: Pouring too thickly can generate excess heat, potentially leading to bubbling, yellowing, or cracking of the epoxy.
•Ensure Even Curing: Thinner layers cure more evenly and reduce the risk of imperfections.
•Achieve Desired Thickness: By building up layers, you can achieve greater thickness and depth without compromising the integrity of the finish.

How to achieve deeper pours with ProGlas 1000?

To achieve a thicker finish:

1.Pour in Layers: Pour the epoxy in layers, allowing each layer to cure before adding the next. Typically, you should wait 4-6 hours between pours, depending on the environmental conditions.
2.Monitor Temperature: Ensure the workspace is at a stable temperature around 70º F to optimize curing time and reduce the risk of issues.

What if I need to pour thicker layers?

For thicker pours beyond 1/8 inch:

•Specialized Epoxy: Consider using a deep pour epoxy designed specifically for thicker applications. ProGlas 1000 is optimized for table tops and art projects but may not be suitable for very deep pours.
