epoxy resin or polyester resin? or will either do?

Great video. I am amazed at how simple the process looks. I can't wait to try it myself.

if you only coat every other layer you will not use as much resin, and when you come to clamp the layers you will not get the epoxy resin all over the floor.

the ratio of resin to harderner is important. if you do not put enough harderner in then it will not cure properly and you will not get a hard resin finish. the ammount of resin you use dose not change the speed of the setting of the resin. you can buy slow or fast set resin, if theres not enough time for you to complete this task then you can use a slow set combination.
