[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 372393, member: 15636"] Lowest End: Curing epoxy will flow, so for best results, one end should be appreciably higher than the other end. Taping off the low end w/duct tape forms a seal. 2nd coat once tacky: Some epoxies form an amine blush on the surface whilst curing and that blush MUST be removed prior to adding a 2nd coat. Doing so allows the 2 coats to chemically bond to each other as if they were in fact, one thicker coat. However, one can add a 2nd coat of Raka epoxy to a tacky 1st coat. But as w/ other finishing methods (epoxy, LPUs, varnishes, paints, etc.) ... multiple thinner coats are stronger and will last longer. [/QUOTE]
