What Is Epoxy?
Epoxy is formed when you mix resin with hardener. It is also known as a polyepoxide. The two come in liquid form. When mixed together they slowly become a solid that is crystal clear and extremely durable. It is a thermoset plastic that once dried will leave a coating that is typically 1/8” thick along the surface area. This is ideal for protecting wood so that you do not have to worry about water damage or scratches, but it also has many other uses.
It can be used as a coating or an adhesive. You can use it to attach items that are decorative to wood or glass and then put a layer of epoxy over it to protect your creative ideas. Although you should consider using grout or some other type of filling as well; it can be used to seal up gaps between wooden slats or over tile so that you can worry less about buildup attaching to the grout.
