Kleer Koat is a 100% solid, two component, clear
polymer coating that is mixed at 1 to 1 ratio by volume. Each kit
containers a bottle of resin and a bottle of hardener. The product cures
to a clear, high build, glass like finish that resists scratching,
yellowing and will not distort with age. Items coated with it will become
permanently preserved and protected for your enjoyment throughout a
lifetime. This product will not exhibit blushing or sweat out under high
humidity conditions.
This product is commonly seen on bar tops and table
tops in many bars and restaurants.
The product should be applied in two stages.
The first stage is referred to as the seal coat. The seal coat is brushed
on in a thin layer and is used to seal any pores in the surface and
prevent air bubbles from forming in the following flood coats. This stage
is followed by the flood coat, which will flow and self level, clean
brushes can be used to help spread the epoxy. As many flood coats as
desired can be applied, however one to three coats is average for most
table or bar coatings.
Recoating/Between Layers:
Recoating can usually be be done within 4 to 8 hours. If re-coated within
this time period no sanding is necessary between layers.
If your previous layer has fully dried, light sanding with 220 or 320 grit
sandpaper is recommended to achieve a good bonding surface. After sanding
you should wipe down with a solvent such as denatured alcohol, acetone or
lacquer thinner to remove any impurities from the surface. (do NOT use
mineral spirits)
Imbedding Pictures:
Objects, such as pictures, maps etc. can be imbedded in this product
during the pours. Most photo quality paper does not require any special
preparation however sometimes thin paper objects must first be sealed with
a white glue or similar product to prevent the kleer koat from fully
penetrating the paper and causing it to become transparent.
Imbedding Solid Objects (wood, rocks, shells, etc.)
All porous materials should first have a seal coat of epoxy applied. This
will prevent air bubbles from occurring in subsequent flood coats. Usually
the objects can be set in place before sealing.
Working Conditions:
For best results the product should be used at temperatures from 70-80
degrees F. The room which you are working should be clean, dry, dust and
insect free. Settling dust can often cause blemishes on the glassy
surface.
Exterior Applications:
Please note that although this product will resist yellowing better than
other epoxies it is NOT 100% UV resistant. Continuous outdoor UV exposure
over months or years will cause the finish to lose its gloss and cause
gradual changes in color.
Coverage: See the coverage charts shown below to
calculate the amount you will need for your area. Remember not to combine
seal and flood coat coverage's. Flood coats are designed to go on
approximately 1/8" thick, which is about three times thicker than
that of a seal coat.
Example: A 6ft x 4ft bare wood table (24sq ft)
would require 2 Quarts to complete ONE seal coat and about a gallon and a
half to complete ONE flood coat for a total of Two Gallons.

Beginners Notes:
This material leaves professional results when applied correctly so
take your time and make sure to beware of these of the common
problems we have seen encountered by first time users.
1. Always make sure that your mixing container is clean and your
measuring device is accurate, this product REQUIRES that you mix at
a 1 to 1 ratio by weight or volume, any variances from this can
cause the epoxy to stay soft and not fully cure.
2. This product requires a THOROUGH mixing, usually between 3-4
minutes of solid mixing without excessive whipping of the mixture
(whipping will put lots of air bubbles into the epoxy).
3. After the two components are poured together and stirring begins
the mixture will turn a cloudy white color, this represents areas in
which the epoxy has not fully combined. You must continue to mix
until all signs of cloudiness and tiny white lines have completely
disappeared (usually takes 3-4 minutes of thorough mixing).
4. Always scrape the sides of your mixing container and also the
stick during those 3-4 minutes. If UNMIXED epoxy remains on the side
of the container or the stick it will cause wet spots on your
finished product if that UNMIXED material falls into your
project......Follow up: While pouring your epoxy onto the surface
NEVER scrape the container to remove every last drop, because no
matter how thorough you mix there will always be an unmixed drop on
the side of the container that will leave a wet spot.
