liquid glass

[billym]

Hope I am in the right forum.Wonder if anyone has used liquid glass to cover a tiled bench top? What I am tring to do is have a smooth clear finish on a small bench top that is hardwearing (in a bathroom) and scratchprof Be glad to hear any ideas .

If you mean water glass (sodium silicate), I think it's probably too brittle. Epoxy or polyester resin is usually used in this application, although it may need occasional re-polishing.

Does the tile itself have inadequate resistance?

Cheers,
Joe

Liquid glass would not be hard enough. It is quite soft and scratches easily.
Try Rustins plastic coating it is scratch and water proof.
