    Default Liquid Glass

    I have been playing around with "Aristocrat" Liquid Glass, a high gloss epoxy. It doesn't seem to be as liquid as I was hoping. Does anybody know what other brands and where (preferably in Australia) I could get them from?

    Has anyone come across a nice liquid style exopy, in high gloss?
    Is there an epoxy thinner or is pre-heating the only way of thinning it?
    If there is a thinner, will it compromise the job or the finish?

    All feedback welcome.

    Hi Lancechris

    Try Home page

    Bunnings used to sell it but think they have recently stopped stocking it.. (try Masters)

    Much more liquid and 1 to 1 mix ratio..
    Use torch to pop any bubbles... I've got a pack (bunnings had it on special) but I'm yet to do it myself

    Thanks Alen. I'll see if I can track some down. I noticed "Glass Coat" didn't get much of a wrap in other threads although we're all different. I do like that it is Australian with telephone support for technical enquiries. This could come in real handy. They should also be able to tell me a local distributor if I can't find one.

    I'll let you know how it goes.

    How did you go with this? I've got an epoxy here distributed by Resimax here in Adelaide. They have many types, 3 are glass clear. #132 has the consistency of honey and can be thinned, but you can hit it with a heat gun and it flows out pretty well and loses bubbles. Super hard, sands and buffs. The other is called HX and is nearly like water, you could make a lens out if it just about. They also do a 5 minute "glass hard" pf liquid, but don't go there, if it goes off during the operation you're screwed. Great glue though. I put a acid cat on top of it.

    I did my bed and bedside table in Adeze finish about 30 years ago and its still rock hard, won't push a thumbnail into that.
    From a quick search of the web it seems to be still available.
    Don't know if its epoxy or poly but its rock hard, has not yellowed and the gloss I used is still like glass.
