How to apply clear resin to Red Gum coffee table?

[richard56]

Afternoon all.

Making a Red Gum Coffee Table (well..I've glued the top together but it's not too late to turn it into kindling) which has a few large (ish) Bug holes & splits in the boards.

So... has anybody used Protite Clear Casting Resin to fill said cracks & holes?

If anybody has used it at all, is it a very thin liquid, or that thick it won't fill small cracks?

Now for the curly one. Will it accept Resin Colouring?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi @richard56 

I personally dont know that product first hand.  But I am very sure 98% of resins operate in a very similar way.

That is there is a Part A and curing part B.

If part A is runny enough to fill the holes in your opinion, then when you're ready add part b and go to work.

Given increased amount of part B will cause the resin to set faster.  Less will slow this process down maybe this will be a factor for you to consider if you need more time filling the holes.

As for a resin coating into any resin types it should be like a duck to water.   I have added ordinary house paint to resin, and it worked.

Not  solid answer for you but I hope it helps.
