OR mix epoxy then cut 50/50 with denatured alcohol. Dip, then let cure. Awsome sealer. Heck I even use it as a top coat... |

Yup, this is what I have done plenty of times, and it works great as a top coat, shines forever  |

Yup, it works GREAT as a sealer and as I top coat. Probably not quite as durable top coat as full strength epoxy... but tough enough. After sealing with it i am never going back to oil based sealers. |

Oil base sealers don;t last. With the west epoxy you do it once and it is done for good. |

Measurments have to be exact with E-tex, use Flex Coat syringes to get exact measures and make sure to mix thoroughly for the full 2min like they say. Also keep your temp above 70, cure time doubles for every 18 degree drop in temp! Dont try to weigh the parts either, the hardener is more dense than the resin and will give you a mix that is about 30% off.

Time your mix to your watch. You will be surprised how little you mixed it when you time it. |
