The resort I stayed at in Jamaica--Beaches--didn't care what kind if outside certification you had. You had to pay them to get "resort certified" aka pay up sucka.

Are you going to spray it on or paint it on? I honestly would go with a spray gun, rather then painting. It would give you the best coating, and you can go back over it three to four times without wasting much epoxy.

would something that thick even work in a spray painter?? only thing i'd be worried about is how even i would get it....i am planning on pouring it and using a v-notched spreader.

I am assuming this is going to be too thick also. I have never heard of anyone spraying on epoxy. If it would work though, it would be more consistent however.

If you have any fiberglass boat builders around, they know that epoxy pretty good.
Actually I'm going to Dorado Boats tomorrow. I'll see what they say about spreading that mas epoxy.

thanks, most likely i think pouring it is going to be the best option...i see spraying it be to easy for air pockets and it not being level across the board.

go rent a spray gun from a rental shop, it will be fine, I work in a cabinent shop and we spray glue (thick glue) for laminent, you should deff. spray, easier cleaner and you get better coverage and will look 100 times better.

no, if i'm correct you spread WITH the notched side...after spreading everything around it levels all out and away you go

So giving you a howdy, and also props for the adventure you have bitten into.
