    The product looks fantastic. How would you do this on a coin kitchen splashback where the coins are laid vertically against an upright wall? Would gravity makes this difficult?

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately, being self-levelling, it won't really work vertically as the resin will run off the surface. You could make the splashback on boards which could be made horizontally and then once finished, bonded or fastened into position on the wall.

  • @EmorettaRobinson

    You can pour it over fabric? Any fabric with a pretty design? Also having never seen a U. K penny before this video. I think they are kinda cute.

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes you can pour epoxy over fabric however the colours will usually darken as they become wet out with the resin. It's usually worth testing on a small piece first to ensure that the colour/dye doesn't bleed into the resin.

    • @glasscastresin

      With high volume traffic it will pick up more scratches than domestic use so would likely require polishing occasionally to keep the surface finish a high gloss.

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is a hard wearing epoxy resin normally used at around 2-3mm in thickness with a perfect self-levelling characteristic. An Automotive Clear Coat is normally used in much thinner applications and spray applied to a product whereby the resin is poured on to achieve a thicker finish.

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The resin is self-levelling so can't be used on vertical surfaces, it would just run off. The best way is to make splashback panels which can be made flat and then secured to the wall after curing.

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you mange to lay the floor completely with no gaps and completely level (no stacking) then the process would be exactly the same. If not and there are gaps or overlaps then you would need to level off the surface with an initial layer of resin, to give you an initially flat surface with which to complete the main pour.

      We wouldn't recommend it within the shower/wet room itself because it would be incredibly slippy plus would be very difficult to achieve a fall towards the drain as the resin is self-levelling.

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Toby, we tend to recommend a maximum of 4mm for GlassCast 3. You can go a little bit deeper but it will start to look a bit hazy. It's worth remembering that if you start going deeper than 3 or 4mm then you'll be using a LOT of resin, particularly if it's over a large area like a floor.

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi again Toby. If you're thinking of encapsulating really chunky things like old bullets and dear antlers you'd need to be looking at a 'casting' resin, rather than a coating resin. We do GlassCast 10 which can be used up to 10mm (just under 1/2") and we do GlassCast 50 which you can use up to 25mm (1"). As I mentioned earlier though, this really will be using a LOT of resin at this thickness.

    • @glasscastresin

      It depends on the wall paper itself, so we would recommend doing a small test. Some grades of wall paper may also change colour when wet with resin so a test will help show that too.

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  หลายเดือนก่อน

      GlassCast isn't really all that suitable for coating 3D shapes due to the self levelling capabilities and the relatively long cure time of the resin. You might be better looking at XCR which is a coating resin that can be built up in multiple layers if required. www.easycomposites.co.uk/xcr-epoxy-coating-resin

    Thanks for the video. This is great How slippery does the floor end up? I have a tiny home so this would be ideal for my floors, but I have large dogs, for whom a slippery floor would not be ideal. Would it be safe in a kitchen that has muddy feet from the garden, or does all water/mud need instantly cleaned up to avoid stain and/or slipping an breaking my neck?

    • @glasscastresin
      @glasscastresin  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      GlassCast can be quite slippery when wearing things like socks so may not be the best thing for your dogs, especially when wet. In terms of cleaning, it won't stain the surface however any grit from the mud could damage and mark the surface if trodden in. In most domestic applications it would be absolutely fine especially in low traffic areas.

      @glasscastresin  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      GlassCast is self levelling which means it will try and flow to the lowest point of the room and level out, this means that it's very difficult to use the product on a sloped floor such as a shower or wet-room which allows the water to run to the drain. The other thing to consider is that the smooth surface can be very slippy when wet.
