A-Plus A&B® Crystal Clear Casting Epoxy is a professional grade 2-component pure epoxy resin that is mostly used for table tops, river tables, wood and marine works, and art crafts. It cures to a non-yellowing crystal clear glossy material that is extremely hard, durable, and resistant to abrasion, chemical spills, and UV exposure. It is formulated to have a slower curing time which makes it an ideal casting material for prolonged workability.

Surface Preparation & Precautions
Safety Precautions:
- Surface to be applied on must be thoroughly cleaned, free of any contaminants that can affect adhesion such as wax, oil, grease, moisture, and loose particles.
- WARNING! Pot life of mixed Epoxy and Hardener is around 4-6 hrs at room temperature.
- Clean up excess material with A-Plus® PG Epoxy Reducer while material has not cured.
For River Table/Wood:
- Make sure wood material is fully kiln dried/treated. Surface must be clean, dry, and free from foreign contaminants.
- Sand surface smooth to eliminate surface imperfections.
- Tape or seal the jointing gaps to avoid leaking of the casting material. Use a wood clamp for bigger moulds.
- Apply 1-2mm A-Plus A&B® Crystal Clear Laminating Epoxy as a base layer to fill up initial cast/mould. Allow to cure for 2 hours before pouring casting epoxy.
Application Procedure
- Apply 1-2mm A-Plus A&B® Crystal Clear Laminating Epoxy as a base layer to seal the mould and prevent any unwanted leaks or gaps. Allow to cure for at least 2 hours before next step.
- Apply A-Plus A&B® Crystal Clear Casting Epoxy by stirring and shaking both components separately before mixing together.
- Slowly add the hardener to the resin and mix slowly and thoroughly for 5-10 minutes before application. For better mixing, transfer both components to a larger container. Mixing ratio: 2:1 by volume, Resin and Hardener
- Pour and spread evenly using either a squeegee or spatula. Maximum thickness is around 2″. If a mould of more than 2″ is desired, pour another layer after the first has cured.
- Optional: Pearlescent Metallic Pigments or dyes can be added to the Part A prior to mixing with Part B to create striking designs.
