Pourla Epoxy Resin FAQs

They're made for different jobs. Here's the quick breakdown:

• Art/Craft resin: thin pours and clear, glossy finishes for crafts and small projects.
• Deep pour resin: thicker casting pours (commonly used for river tables and larger castings).
• Countertop/bar-top coatings: surface coatings for counters, bars, and tabletops.
• Heat-resistant options: for projects where higher heat performance matters.
• Flooring systems: primers and top coats designed for concrete floors.

For exact limits (thickness, recoat window, cure schedule, coverage), use the product page FAQ + TDS.

Start with your thickness and your surface:

• Thin coating / crafts → art/craft resin.
• Thick casting → deep pour system.
• Countertops / bartops → countertop coating product.
• Concrete floors → floor primer + compatible floor top coat.

If you want help choosing, send your substrate, square footage, target thickness, temperature, and a couple photos via the Pourla Contact Us page.

On the product page. Each product page has its own FAQ and TDS.

It depends on the product. Many Pourla products use either 1A:1B or 1A:2B, but always confirm on the product page FAQ/TDS before you mix.

Follow the method listed on your product page. Some products specify mixing by volume; others provide a weight ratio. Don't switch methods unless the TDS tells you to.

Most "tacky spots" come from off-ratio measuring or incomplete mixing.

• Mix slowly and scrape the sides and bottom of the cup.
• Don't rush the last 30 seconds--this is where most failures happen.

One habit that helps a lot: Double-Cup Mixing Method for Epoxy (Pourla guide).

Temperature and batch size are the big ones. Warm rooms and large mixed batches shorten pot life (the resin heats up faster). For bigger projects, mix smaller batches and pour in layers.

Check the deep pour product page FAQ/TDS for the verified max pour depth. If you need more thickness, do multiple lifts (layers) and follow the recoat window.

Yes. Layering is common and often the safest way to build thickness. The key is the recoat window: recoat within the window, or sand/clean if you miss it (see your product page FAQ/TDS).

Most bubbles come from fast mixing, porous materials (like raw wood), or working too cold.

• Mix slowly (don't whip air in).
• Seal porous surfaces with a thin seal coat before the main pour.
• After pouring, use gentle heat briefly to pop surface bubbles--don't overheat.

Many epoxy projects use resin pigments, mica powders, metallic pigments, alcohol inks, glitter, and fillers. Keep it controlled:

• Use additives made for epoxy.
• Don't overload additives (too much can affect cure).
• Test a small batch first.

It depends on the product and conditions (temperature, humidity, and thickness). For the correct cure schedule, check your product page FAQ/TDS. In general, colder conditions slow curing.

Most of the time it's one of these: wrong ratio, incomplete mixing, or low temperature.

1. Confirm the ratio on the product page FAQ/TDS.
2. Confirm mixing (double-cup method helps).
3. Check the temperature during cure.

Stable, moderate temperatures usually work best. Too cold slows curing and increases defect risk; too hot shortens pot life and increases overheating risk (especially in large batches). Use the product TDS for the recommended range.

UV exposure can cause color shift over time. Many clear epoxies are formulated to resist yellowing, but long UV exposure can still discolor. If UV exposure is high, consider the right product choice and protective finish for that environment.

Wait until the epoxy reaches the recommended cure stage for sanding/finishing. This varies by product and conditions--check the product page FAQ/TDS. If you're recoating outside the recoat window, sanding and cleaning are commonly needed for adhesion.

Always read the product label and the SDS. Basic precautions include:

• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Wear gloves and eye protection.
• Avoid skin/eye contact; wash thoroughly if contact occurs.
• Keep products sealed and away from children/pets.

See: Pourla Safety Data Sheet (SDS) page.

Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures. Avoid cross-contamination between Part A and Part B.
