Review on 🌞 Durable and UV Resistant Pro Marine Supplies Countertops: Protect and Beautify Your Space by Adam Hardy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for long lasting coverage.

This is a great table or desk cover. I wouldn't use it in the kitchen or any other place where you might have high heat or hot pots/pans on the surface. The table top in the picture above was made from cast resin which is NOT cast resin. You MAY pour in about 1/4 inch increments to get the overall depth of fill desired. I did this on a branch with a lot of rot inside, pouring in 1/4 inch at a time and using a brush to caulk bug holes. It took about 10 fills to get in depth and a good final sanding and fill to bring it to a smooth finish. Don't be afraid to sand between layers. The 120 grit is suitable for coarser work, while the 360 grit is suitable for fine sanding. This material is temperature sensitive. 75F is the ideal temperature, and 70F and below will cure much more slowly. 8-F and above really speed up filling. A countertop pour was done at 84F and it was almost a disaster. The 10 ounces in the cup were starting to get really hot and you should be able to see it. Anything above the ideal temperature and the material will cure exponentially faster. Mix well and apply to the surface. Lower temperatures are much gentler, but depending on the temperature it can take up to 2 days or more. Air gets in when the material is mixed. I haven't tried a vacuum chamber and there is no need for one as the sealing and potting coating is light enough to blow out air bubbles with a flashlight. 2 or 3 passes at 15 or 20 minute intervals will usually remove all air bubbles, but some problem areas may arise. I usually try to make a protective layer and fill it completely before pouring the layer. This is an excellent coating resin and note this is not a casting resin. You can pour up to 1/4" layer at a time, which comes in handy when embedding/layering various items in the resin. I won't get into mold making, but I suggest using plastic sheeting under the project to catch it you open the overflow. I make a 2x2 perimeter around the mold in case the mold leaks. Just a sheet of plastic wrap will do if you are applying sealer or flow coat. Mix well, watch temperature, monitor depth of pour, ignite air bubbles, between rub off the layers and practice.It's relatively inexpensive for results you can get.This is my resin coating product.

Pros
  • UV RESISTANCE: All clear epoxies will yellow over time. But ProMarine clear epoxy countertop has superior UV resistance. This helps stop the yellowing process, keeping your projects looking squeaky clean for longer.
Cons
  • No power
