What the numbers mean for a pour
Pours needed with a limit of 1/4 in per pour. Worked out with the layer planner.

What the manufacturer says
Paraphrased from the manufacturer’s documents.
Intended use
- FGCI positions this 1:1 system as a clear coating for table tops, bars, wood finishes, see-through encapsulations and artwork.TDS
UV and color
- It is formulated to resist UV yellowing, but FGCI still does not recommend it for permanent outdoor use.TDS
Heat
- The set can be sped up with mild heat up to 160°F.TDS
- The TDS gives a 100 g gel time of 35 minutes (±5 min).TDS
Other notes
- Part A weighs 9.65 lb per gallon with a viscosity of 12,000 (±2,000) on spindle #4 at 6 RPM, per the TDS table.TDS
- Part B weighs 8.0 lb per gallon with a viscosity of 900 (±100) per the TDS table.TDS
- The SDS lists resin density as 9.68 lb/gal and activator density as 8 lb/gal.SDS
- The product page says the cured coating is food-safe for indirect contact once fully cured at 30 days.Page
- Shelf life is 6-12 months unopened and 3-6 months once opened, depending on storage.Instr.
Layering
- A layer that has already hardened needs light 240-grit sanding and a 90%+ isopropyl alcohol wipe before the next layer.Instr.
Temperature
- Best results come at 70-74°F; FGCI warns against pouring outdoors, especially above 84°F.Instr.
Surface preparation
- FGCI recommends a very thin seal coat, which this product can provide by brushing it on.Instr.

Protective equipment
- Wear chemical splash goggles and/or a face shield.
- Wear impermeable gloves and clothing that limits skin exposure; discard contaminated gloves.
- A NIOSH-approved vapor respirator may be needed if exposure limits are exceeded.
Ventilation
- Install proper mechanical ventilation so exposure stays below permissible limits (resin SDS).
- Ensure adequate natural or mechanical ventilation to remove activator vapors from the work area.
A summary, not the full SDS. Read the SDS for both parts before use and follow its first-aid section in case of exposure. This is not medical advice.
Where the manufacturer’s documents disagree
- Working time: begins to thicken within 30 minutes (instructions) vs. working time is approximately 25 minutes (product page) (Instr., Page). The table shows the value from the Instr..
