How to do it?

  1. Degrease the surface of the table with Veropal LV PC 213,
  2. Weigh the desired amount of resin into the cups in a weight ratio of 100 : 30. You can use an online calculator to get the proper numbers. Pour component A into component B. Mix both components sufficiently – for about 3 minutes, thoroughly but carefully (so that bubbles do not get into the resin). Don't forget the sides and bottom of the cup.
  3. Add a small drop of test pigment to the resin mix. For a more saturated cast, add more pigment.
  4. Pour the resin onto the table and spread it in all directions.
  5. Use the heat gun or hair dryer on the resin and create interesting effects. Do not use at one place for too long, so that the resin does not come to a thermal reaction (exothermic).
  6. Let the resin harden for about 3 days and then you can use the table.
