Instructions
to Refinish Epoxy Resin Tabletops |
| |
| 1. Tops should be thoroughly
cleaned of oil, wax, or residue, using
lacquer thinner. |
| |
| 2.
Existing finish should then be thoroughly
sanded with an 80-grit sandpaper to feather
edge any nicks, scratches, etc., and remove
any buildup of residue. |
| |
| 3.
Tops should then be thoroughly sanded
with a fine abrasive 150-grit to 180-grit
sandpaper to prepare them for the new
finish. |
| |
| 4.
Apply a primer coating by brush and/or
roller. The primer coating should be formulated
to be compatible with the epoxy finish
coat. |
| |
| 5.
After the primer coating is thoroughly
dry (8 to 10 hours), sand with a fine
grit sandpaper, 180- to 200-grit. |
| |
| 6.
Remove all sanding dust with a tack rag
and apply the epoxy finish coat with brush
and/or roller. |
| |
| 7.
If a second coating is required to obtain
desired finish, repeat steps 5 and 6.

is a recommendation only. Due to the many
possible variations of materials used
for tabletops, Flinn Scientific is not
able to warranty the final results or
accept any liability for failure of the
applied finish. |
