What the numbers mean for a pour
Pours needed with a limit of 1/4 in per pour, the strictest of the limits the documents give. Worked out with the layer planner.
| Total thickness | Pours | Earliest start of last pour | Notes |

| 1 in (25 mm) | 4 | 9 h after the first, if the conditions below are met | – |
| 2 in (51 mm) | 8 | 21 h after the first, if the conditions below are met | – |
| 3 in (76 mm) | 12 | 33 h after the first, if the conditions below are met | – |

Only if these published conditions are met: between ¼ in coats/layers at 70°F
What the manufacturer says
Paraphrased from the manufacturer’s documents.
Heat
- Mixed epoxy left in the cup past its working time can heat to 200-300°F while curing.TDS
- The TDS lists a heat deflection temperature of 118°F.TDS
Other notes
- The TDS advises against mixing more than one gallon of epoxy at a time.TDS
- Gel time is 72 minutes for a 150 g mass at 77°F.TDS
- Cured density is published as 1.05 g/cm³ (cured solid, not mixed liquid).TDS
- A drill mixer should not be used to mix TableTop.TDS
- The product page advises gloves and good ventilation, or a respirator in confined spaces.Page
Temperature
- Working above 80°F can make TableTop set too quickly and overheat, leading to yellowing, surface distortion or cracking.TDS
Layering
- Coatings thicker than ¼ in are built from ¼ in layers with at least 3 hours of cure between coats.TDS
Surface preparation
- Wood and other porous surfaces always need a seal coat before the flood coat.TDS
Coverage
- A gallon kit covers about 6.4 sq ft at ¼ in thick.TDS
UV and color
- Under extreme UV exposure a clear urethane or varnish top coat is recommended to prevent yellowing.TDS
Intended use
Where the manufacturer’s documents disagree
- Minimum cure for use: ready for light use in 48 hours (TDS cure section, ¼ in at 70°F) vs. Minimum Cure for Use: 3-5 days (TDS data table; product page FAQ also says 3-5 days) (TDS, Page).
Not published
The documents listed below give no value for: Minimum pour depth; Recoat window; Specific gravity, mixed; Density, mixed. We leave these blank rather than estimate them.
