MAS Epoxies Table Top Pro Epoxy Kit, 1-Gallon, (0.5-Gal Part A + 0.5-Gal Part B) Crystal Clear Resin Casting for DIY Arts, Crafts, Countertops, Wood Tables, Tabletops, Bar Tops

I first used this product a couple years ago on a bottle cap bar counter and loved how it turned out. Now, recently I wanted to resin a slab coffee table that I finished. Didn't think I had enough of the MAS product left to complete it so I bought a cheap alternative on Amazon. Whooo-boy, did I have problems! Everything that could wrong did and I returned it, sanded down the entire project, ordered more MAS and the project turned out beautiful. I'm now finishing up two slab end tables and I can't get over how easy this product is to work with. Edges can be a little tricky but a foam brush works perfectly and the top self levels to a glass like finish. I'm an MAS convert now!

Ok so the honest truth of the matter is that I rarely leave a review on amazon because with our busy life and household I just lack the time. But on my free time I like to work with live edge wood and do projects to relax from a hectic corporate workweek. So after trying several products and even some varnishes here and there this product left me and my family and friends very impressed. This product is user friendly and leaves an excellent result and if you have any questions Paul will respond to you ASAP from their family run office and he is awesome. I had some questions and he resolved it right away. It makes me confused to the earlier review where he said it left a bunch of bubbles because as long as you follow the directions and blowtorch or heatgun off the bubbles after they rise the product looks immaculate. So far I did a live edge table and a platter for a Christmas gift. Because I’ve now purchased two kits from them because it works so well it seems to me as long as you follow the very simple directions you will get pretty much professional results. I rarely give a five star shout out but this family run American business stands for what American made used to mean in the old days, quality and trust with the company you work with because they believe in their product and stand behind it. Just remember when using any epoxy product it takes a few days up to a week to properly cure, this stuff is pretty much solid after 24 hours but before giving any of your wood products hard use like a coffee room table give it some extra time to set and cure properly and you won’t be disappointed and make sure no one puts anything super hot on your table to mess it up lol!

So first off let me say I don’t normally do reviews, but in searching for a resin it was very nerve racking picking which resin to order as there were so many polar opposite reviews. I ordered this product to do a color filled wooden sign for my soon to be daughters room. I cut the name out of a 3/4 sheet of pine and then affixed it to a solid backer piece. So many reviews here on all the different resins talk about cloudiness, tackiness, etc Let me say, this product comes with everything you need aside from measuring cups(I recommend solo cups for measuring and mixing). I followed the instructions, making sure VOLUME measurements were 1:1 and followed mixing and pouring instructions. I poured a glaze coat prior to step pouring 1/8-1/4” pours of the color mixed resin in the letters, followed bubble removing instructions(buy a heat gun, not a torch, and keep it moving, don’t hold it over one spot) and continued step pouring until letters were filled (3 step pours of color, 1 step pour clear resin with glitter. ) For the final glass top, I did another glaze coat, to fill the porous wood, and then 2- 1/4” flood coats. This product hardened beautifully, was easily to work with and has a longer set time (which means it’s more forgiving and you have more time to move resin, remove a pesky dog hair etc) I will continue using this product for woodworking in the future!

I have purchased this epoxy twice now. This is the one and only epoxy that I have used and I can say that I love it. It is pretty easy to work with and my finished products look amazing. The epoxy looks like glass on these stainless steel tumblers that I create. The only challenge that I have with this epoxy is the amount of bubbles that I get when mixing it and most do not pop before I am ready to use it. I do have to put extra heat on it to try to get the bubbles to pop and sometimes have a difficult time getting them all out. That is frustrating. However, since I am no professional with epoxy, I may not be doing something right. I have made over 30 cups and I have NOT had any problem with yellowing or discoloration. I have given 4 stars only because of the bubbles. Thank you ..

The resin prep is easy as long as directions are followed and it is an exact 1:1 ratio. It cures relatively quickly. 4-5 hours and it was dry to touch but 12 hours is the safe window. It cures clear with high gloss. I used it for my live edge bar top and it turned out great. The only but I have is setting time. I followed the directions and let it sit for a couple of minutes after mixing to let the bubbles rise. After 3 minutes I poured and needed to work fast as the resin was starting to cure and became very viscous and challenging to work with. Out of 3 brands of table top epoxy this one has the shortest working time. It is a good product but I think next time, I would use it to pour over a smaller surface. It either cures too fast or I'm too slow. It would be 4 stars but I added 1 star for including the plastic (came in handy) and sponge spreader which I didn't use because the resin was just too thick.

Let's start of by saying the customer support team is fantastic. They respond to questions quickly and thoroughly. The other reviews will tell you how great the product is, so I wanted to make sure you knew that the company has your back too. Now, the product is so simple I actually worried I was missing something. Just mix 1:1 by volume as perfectly as possible, have 3 mixing cups available cuz you'll pour A into one, B into another, and then A into B and mix it, but then you'll need the 3rd cup so you can pour the mixture into a clean cup. Mix for a few more minutes and let it sit 2 minutes, then apply it. The coverage is actually better than advertised, the hardest finish I've achieved from any epoxy I've used so far, and has a good gloss without being too glossy. Not over stated or obnoxiously glossy. I haven't put the finished product through very much yet, but it polished up super well and looks fantastic. Also holds mica powder excellently. If you let it sit a minute after mixing fully before you add the powder it suspends better than most I've used. Very happy with this product so far

Let me start by saying when I ordered this product I had absolutely no experience with this type of epoxy or anything similar. I have laid a dozen or so garage, warehouse, patio and workshop floors but that’s a completely different material and project which is probably obvious. I picked this material after searching mostly on price but also on overall rating. I always try to read the reviews I’m basing a decision on but this time I admit I was excited to get started on the project and hit the “buy now” button without my usual individual product scrutiny. After I read some of the more critical reviews of this product and after seeing other people’s attempts at using this and other products I got a little nervous. A little self doubt crept in. The product arrived exactly as I was lead to believe same day I was told in the brand new condition and the amount that I ordered. So all good so far. The material does come with an instruction sheet and it tells you step by step how to use the product. I found the instructions to be easy to read, understand and follow. They come right out and tell you in the instructions what to watch for, conditions, temperature and mixing requirements and they stress the importance of following the instructions especially in regard to the mixing and temperature of the materials. It’s all there in easy to follow steps even includes a troubleshooting guide and tips on how to fix and avoid certain and common issues. I followed the directions and had no problems at all. The product was a breeze to use with working time that was more than sufficient as i did find myself working really quickly because I didn’t know what to expect. I set everything that I anticipated needing up prior to mixing, kept all my tools in the same place each and every pour so I would have no confusion and would be able to have what I needed in hand when I needed it and I am a very happy customer. I have now done multiple projects, sinks, counters and a small river table and I couldn’t be more pleased to have found this product right off the bat. They even sent me a personal email asking if I had any issues or if they could provide any help or advice. I am a customer for life. Thank you

Excellent product. Easy to work with.

The epoxy resin works as it should, you use 1:1 ratio and you're good to go.
