FAQ

Everflow resins are versatile and can be used for a wide range of DIY and professional projects — including countertops, tables, art pieces, jewelry, river tables, wood encapsulation, floor coatings, and more. Each resin system is formulated for specific applications, so make sure to check the product description or contact us for guidance.

All Everflow resins contain UV stabilizers to slow down yellowing over time. However, like all epoxies, they can still experience some degree of color shift if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. For outdoor projects or areas with strong UV exposure, we recommend using our UV-resistant topcoat or polyaspartic clear finish for added protection.

When mixed and cured properly, Everflow resins are non-toxic and completely inert. During the mixing and pouring stages, always work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves and a respirator mask to avoid prolonged exposure to fumes or skin contact with the uncured resin.

Once fully cured, Everflow resins are non-toxic and safe for incidental food contact. They are perfect for applications such as countertops, charcuterie boards, or serving trays. However, they are not certified for continuous direct food contact (e.g., cutting surfaces).

The average shelf life is 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always make sure the lids are tightly sealed after each use.

Crystallization can occur when resin is exposed to cold temperatures. To fix it, simply place the closed container in warm water (around 50–60°C / 120–140°F) for 10–15 minutes. The resin will return to its normal clarity without affecting its performance.

Yes! You can apply multiple layers as long as the previous coat is still slightly tacky. If it has fully cured, lightly sand the surface with 220-grit sandpaper and wipe clean before applying the next coat to ensure proper adhesion.

Absolutely. Everflow resins can be tinted using epoxy-compatible pigments, dyes, or metallic powders. Always mix pigments thoroughly before pouring, and avoid exceeding 2–5% pigment load to maintain proper curing.

Our DIY resins are typically mixed at a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio by volume, depending on the product. Always refer to your specific label or technical data sheet (TDS) before mixing. Precise ratios are critical for proper curing.

Mix for 2–3 minutes at a low speed (around 300–450 rpm) or by hand using a flat stir stick. Scrape the sides and bottom of the container frequently to ensure both parts are fully blended and avoid soft spots in the cure.

Cure time varies by product and temperature:

  • Initial cure: 12–24 hours
  • Full cure: 5–7 days
    Warmer temperatures will accelerate curing, while cooler conditions will slow it down.

Once fully cured, Everflow resins can typically withstand temperatures up to 120–150°F (50–65°C). For higher heat exposure (e.g., hot pans or mugs), use a heat-resistant topcoat or polyaspartic clear finish for added protection.

Coverage depends on the thickness of your pour:

  • 1/8″ (3 mm): ~12 sq ft per gallon
  • 1/4″ (6 mm): ~6 sq ft per gallon
  • 1/2″ (12 mm): ~3 sq ft per gallon
    Always calculate your total volume before mixing to avoid product shortage mid-pour.
