Two part epoxy mixed with polyurethane? Whoops!
My friend is renovating an apartment and he's done some gorgeous woodworking pieces by using clear epoxy to create a mirror-like finish. The instructions on the bottles say to mix 1:1 ratio of resin and hardener, however he tried out mixing resin with polyurethane instead, and it never hardened. What's left is a kind of oily l, mostly-clear substance that tends to stick to things. I removed a bunch of it using a drywall knife AKA taping knife and removed some of what was left using sandpaper. There's still a very thin layer of the stuff adhered to the wood. So I'm wondering if I paint a very thin layer of hardener on there, if it'll solidify what is left and then I could proceed to cover it over with epoxy or polyurethane, or if there's some other solution I should consider. I would rather not throw out the wooden countertop he made because although the wood was super cheap, it looks really nice and would take him at least a few hours to re-create submitted by /u/Julianbrelsford [link] [comments]
