I was paging through a Woodworkers Supply catalog recently and noticed an item that I thought about a number of months ago. With plans to build a large bar for the garage conversion that I am currently in the middle of, this product caught my eye.
This 2 part epoxy that is supposedly "poured on" and is supposed to give the look of a finish resembling up to 50 coats of varnish "only a lot more clear". From the looks of the picture in the ad, it seems to be called Crystal Shine or something similar to that. Is anyone familiar with this product, or other similar products?
It seems to be just what I am looking for and do what I am hoping to achieve. In the ad, it says that it is perfect for bar tops and other projects such as decopage which will be similar to what I want to do with the top of the bar surface. I am thinking of making the bar top a collage of pictures from the sport that I have grown up attending (auto racing) and I have always loved the "built-up" look that this product perports to render.
Can anyone tell me how easy it is to work with? How easily it achieves a nice smooth surface? How messy it might be and what their thoughts are of its end results? I would appeciate it immensely.
