Does epoxy resin need a top coat
Answered By: Antonio Roberts Date: created: Mar 30 2021
Yes.
Since the epoxy has cured a chemical bond is not possible so what is called a mechanical bond is needed.
This simply means that the cured epoxy has to be lightly sanded before the next coat is applied: the first coat should have a matt, almost white, surface..

Do you need to sand resin before top coat
Answered By: Anthony Brooks Date: created: Jul 20 2021
A lot of first-time users ask, “Can you sand epoxy?” The answer is, YES! … The first thing you’ll want to do is clean the epoxy and ensure there aren’t any debris, sticky pieces, or dust particles on the surface. If you have a large divot in your epoxy, then you’ll want to fill it in before beginning the second coat.

Does resin stick to Vaseline
Answered By: Carlos Evans Date: created: Dec 09 2021
Petroleum jelly is a suitable mold release agent best suited for simple molds without fine details. The jelly thins when applied by hand, coating the mold material. If used on highly detailed molds, the petroleum jelly may be as thick as some of the fine details, resulting in lost details on your finished resin object.

Can you clear coat over epoxy resin
Answered By: Chase Brown Date: created: Mar 12 2022
Absolutely, epoxy takes other finish very well, as it is completely inert once its hardened. That looks great by the way. I have used spar varnish on top of epoxy for a boat before. I’ve also sprayed high gloss clear coat – if you have a hvlp spray gun, I recommend that over a can for better results.

Answered By: Robert Stewart Date: created: Jan 05 2021
Unfortunately, you cannot just add another layer on top, you will have to scrape the runny resin off. Make sure to get most of it off because if you leave any behind, this may leak into the new layer of resin. Once you are sure most of the gooey resin is gone, you can then pour a new layer of resin on to your surface.

Once epoxy has cured, it is non-porous. This gives the second layer of epoxy nothing to bond with. By sanding the epoxy between layers, you are ensuring that each layer of epoxy bonds properly with previous layers. This bond makes the epoxy last much longer.
