What makes epoxy so durable is that it is a non-porous substance so it will not soak up any of the spills or food debris. This means that an epoxy surface will not stain, and will not allow for the growth of bacteria, mold, or mildew. Epoxy is also easy to maintain and keep clean, and is the perfect material from which to make a bar top.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Options for Bar Top Epoxy<\/h2>\n<p>You will be faced with a great variety of epoxy resins when searching for the best brand with which to create your bar top.

Examples of items that you can embed in the epoxy include magnets, bottle caps, pennies, or any other mementos that fit underneath the coated surface of this resin.<\/p>\n<p>RTG epoxy isn\u2019t difficult to use, as it has been formulated so that even a beginner can use it without facing any problems. You just have to follow the standard process of mixing the hardener and resin in equal portions (1:1 ratio). Once mixed, you can then pour it onto the surface.<\/p>\n<p>You may create some bubbles when you pour your RGT epoxy onto the surface, but the majority of the bubbles will pop automatically. If a few bubbles remain beneath the resin coating, you can use hot air over the surface to remove these bubbles. By applying heat, the bubbles are caused to rise to the surface and will pop.&nbsp;RGT also has amazing heat deflection properties, which make it an ideal product to use in your kitchen, as you will be able to place hot food dishes (up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit) directly onto the cured surface.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sue-shadow-wrap su-u-trim sue-shadow-inline-no\"><div class=\"sue-shadow sue-shadow-style-simple\"><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\"><div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Self-leveling<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Durable and resistant to yellowing<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Simple mixing ratio<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Easy to use<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Heat- and UV-resistant to a point<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Cures quickly<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Resistant to amine blush<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Not intended for outdoor areas exposed to sunlight<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Shorter working time<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>EAST COAST RESIN Crystal-Clear Epoxy Resin<\/h3>\n<p>East Coast Resin is the ideal epoxy resin if you are looking for a shorter curing time.

The coverage capacity refers to how much resin you will get per ounce, gallon, or pint. Anything more than a coverage of&nbsp;25 square feet is a bargain, as long as the formula gives you coverage of a decent quality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Scratch-Resistance<\/h3>\n<p>The biggest cause of damage to wooden furniture is that of scratches. All wooden furniture gets scratched over time, and even more so if it is in a home where there are children or pets. Through using an anti-scratch epoxy coating, you can significantly decrease the chance of scratches on your surface. Such an epoxy will also further protect your furniture from any other accidents or damages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>UV-Resistance<\/h3>\n<p>The rays of the sun negatively impact epoxy due to the harmful effects of its UV light. If you have chosen to use an epoxy that is not UV-resistant, as time goes by your epoxy will no longer be its crystal-clear color but will begin to turn yellow. To be sure that an epoxy resin is UV resistant, double-check the packaging to make sure that it states it specifically.&nbsp;If you have chosen to apply an final coating over your epoxy, also ensure that the coating is also UV-resistant, otherwise you will have no choice but to keep that item of furniture indoors and out of any sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Blush-Resistance<\/h3>\n<p>You should buy an epoxy resin that is blush-resistant, which refers to amine blush. Amine blush is a by-product of curing that changes the color of the wooden item and can also cause a jagged edge to form on the surface of the wood. It also causes a waxy substance to develop over the surface of the resin.&nbsp;The majority of brands are made to be blush-free, but ensure you only apply your resin when the surface is completely dry, as doing this will stop the wooden surface from blushing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Water-Resistance<\/h3>\n<p>Water can do serious damage to wood; even if your wood has limited exposure to water, it can result in significant damage. It is important to ensure your epoxy coating is water-resistant, particularly for any outdoor furniture. A bonus is that a water-resistant formula epoxy gives a glossy finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Ease of Use<\/h3>\n<p>An easier mixing ratio will help anyone working with resin to ensure the perfect results. A simple mixing ratio will allow for an optimal curing period. If the mixing ratio is complicated, you will be more likely to miscalculate the amount, which can result in your epoxy not curing at all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>High Gloss<\/h3>\n<p>It is up to you as to whether or not you would like a glossy finish, but we can recommend it as it gives an attractive finish to your pieces of wooden furniture. A glossy finish adds clarity and brightness to your piece, and it is why a lot of people choose to use a glossy finish.&nbsp;You can achieve a glossy finish by choosing a product that advertises a crystal-clear finish, although a mirror-like resin will also achieve similar results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Materials You Can Coat with Bar Top Epoxy<\/h2>\n<p>By applying the epoxy resin, you can revitalize or restore worn, old, or outdated bathroom bar tops, kitchen bar tops, and floors. It is not an option to purchase pre-made epoxy finished bar tops or slabs like quartz, marble, granite, or laminate bar counters. Instead, you will have to construct them in place.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>It can be noted that Corian is a resin-based bar top material that you can purchase in slabs, and that epoxy is thought of as a solid-surface bar top as well.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Epoxy resin is a durable option to use for refinishing, as it is scratch resistant and will give you years of use before it begins to dull. The majority of cleaning products can be used on epoxy resin, without causing any damage to the overall luster.<\/p>\n<p>You can use epoxy resin on most materials used to make bar tops, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Concrete,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Formica,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wood,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ceramic, and&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Metal.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Epoxy resin isn\u2019t usually used on granite or marble bar tops, as there are alternative options to finish these materials that give better results. You can use epoxy to recreate the look of these materials at a small price in comparison to granite or marble. You can also use epoxy resin as a sealant for concrete bar tops.&nbsp;Keep in mind that there is an assortment of epoxies available on the market, some of which are of a better quality than others.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5320\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material.jpg\" alt=\"Best Bar Top Material\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Best-Bar-Top-Material-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How Are Epoxy Bar Tops Made?<\/h2>\n<p>To create the epoxy required to make your bar top, the first step is to combine your resin with your hardener. When combined, the two liquid substances become solid when the epoxy resin is left to cure.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest disadvantages to working with epoxy are that it cures and hardens quickly, and can be difficult and potentially quite messy to work with. But the work is completely worth it, as when done you will have a crystal-clear and glossy finished surface (unless you have chosen to use an epoxy product that is textured).<\/p>\n<p>You can add roughly one-eighth of an inch of a shiny protective coating, depending on the amount of epoxy that gets used.&nbsp;To make your epoxy bar top you can either hire a professional, or you can buy an epoxy bar top kit. By using epoxy, you can save yourself a lot of money and create some unique designs to upgrade your kitchen bar tops or bathroom, although it will take a lot of work and the results can be unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Epoxy Resin Application Tips:<\/h2>\n<p>To use epoxy resin, you will need to ensure you have prepared all your materials beforehand. You can then mix the resin and hardener according to the specified mixing ratio and apply the epoxy resin, taking note of the following guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be sure to thoroughly clean the bar top.<\/strong> Should there be any dust or dirt on the surface that has not been cleaned off, it will be sealed in when you apply the epoxy resin. This would then be visible in the coating and can cause an unlevel surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use plastic sheeting to protect floors and cabinets.<\/strong> As epoxy resin is in liquid form when it is applied, it will often spill over the edges of the bar top, landing on nearby surfaces. You can temporarily apply a piece of wood, or another form of a barrier around the edge of the bar top so as to stop the epoxy from landing on unwanted areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Begin with a thin coating to form a seal.<\/strong> You do this by combining the hardener and epoxy resin in a container and then pour it onto the bar top. The process of applying a thin coat as a sealant is referred to as flooding and decreases your chance of bubbles forming.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Once the two substances are combined, the epoxy will harden quickly.<\/strong> You have roughly 20 to 30 minutes to work with the epoxy resin before it begins to set. Should any air bubbles form, you will need to attempt to remove them immediately by using a torch or blow dryer, as the heat will cause the bubbles to rise to the surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allow your epoxy resin to harden before beginning with your second layer.<\/strong> After a few hours, your epoxy resin will be hard enough that you can begin adding the second layer. After 24 hours the epoxy resin will have cured to give you a stunning epoxy finished bar top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5323\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat.jpg\" alt=\"Resin Bar Top Clear Coat\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Resin-Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Pros and Cons of Having an Epoxy Bar Top<\/h2>\n<p>There are many advantages to using epoxy resin over your kitchen table or bar top, but with these benefits come some disadvantages as well.

This material produces an extremely durable, glossy finish, is easy to clean, safe to use with the proper precautions, resistant to heat, scratches, and water, and can be used to accomplish almost any project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>High Gloss Finish<\/h4>\n<p>Epoxy provides you with a glossy, polished finish with an incredible shine. Over time, the glossy sheen will wear down, but you can maintain it by applying mineral oil to the surface on occasion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Easy to Clean<\/h4>\n<p>You will be able to use almost any cleaning products on your epoxy surface without any concern that you may damage it. The nonporous surface of epoxy resin ensures that bacteria and mold are unable to grow on it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Durable Resin Finish<\/h4>\n<p>Once the epoxy has hardened, it forms a solid surface that is very durable and will last for years, while still providing a gorgeous shine. For other products such as varnish, you would need to constantly reapply it as it begins to dull, but this is not the case with epoxy resin.&nbsp;Your epoxy finish will last longer in comparison to other &nbsp;coatings and bar top materials, as it rarely becomes damaged or begins to crack.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Nontoxic and Food Safe<\/h4>\n<p>Most of the epoxy products available on the market are non-toxic and food-safe, which are ideal for bar top surfaces.&nbsp;You will require good ventilation when applying your epoxy coating, as the chemicals that are activated when the resin components are combined contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Allow for good ventilation for a few days after application as well to allow enough time for any remaining VOCs to evaporate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Heat-Resistant<\/h4>\n<p>Epoxy protects your bar top from heat damage, meaning that you can place a hot dish directly onto the surface without causing any damage. It is important to note that leaving a hot dish on the epoxy surface for a long period of time will eventually cause some damage, as while the epoxy is heat resistant, it is not heatproof.&nbsp;We suggest using a trivet onto which you can place your hot pots so as to protect your bar top from long-term heat damage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Seamless<\/h4>\n<p>Epoxy is the only option for a bar top that can guarantee a seamless surface. Thus, this kind of material is ideal for creating unique colors and patterns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Unlimited Design Potential<\/h4>\n<p>If you are looking for a versatile bar top material, epoxy is your best option. Using epoxy will allow you to create any pattern or color you can think of.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5322\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top.jpg\" alt=\"Laminate Bar Top\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Laminate-Bar-Top-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Disadvantages of Epoxy Bar Tops<\/h3>\n<p>In spite of its many advantages, there are too a number of disadvantages that come into play when working with epoxy resin. Indeed, this material requires a great deal of time and effort to apply, is costly, and offers very little room for error.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Time-Consuming to Apply<\/h4>\n<p>Applying epoxy can be difficult, labor-intensive, and very time-consuming. It is important to ensure you have prepped your surface sufficiently before you begin. This may require you to sand down the bar tops, remove any stains, and essentially to make sure that the surface is completely clean and dry.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to cover any exposed surrounding surfaces with plastic sheeting for protection. You will have to tape off and cover any cabinets, sinks, cooktops, walls, and floors around the area you will be a coating to protect them from any epoxy drips or overflow.&nbsp;A good idea is to get a plastic sheeting that has been pre-taped, as this will make it a lot easier to cover the areas accordingly. For the floor, you can use a heavy tarp to ensure you don\u2019t trip or tear the plastic.<\/p>\n<p>Do not rush the application of the epoxy as this can result in air bubbles forming. Once applied, the curing time can take anywhere between 24 hours to a week. You should now have a&nbsp;good idea as to why making a DIY epoxy bar top is not an easy or quick option.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Inconsistent Quality<\/h4>\n<p>Unfortunately, not all epoxies on the market will give you the same results, as the products can be very inconsistent.&nbsp;You will discover that many inferior products on the market are potentially less heat-resistant, or are brittle in comparison to the recommended products.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you begin to pour the epoxy, you will be able to notice the quality. Your cheaper epoxies tend to be very runny when compared to better quality epoxies, which tend to be thicker. A cheaper epoxy will give you a thin layer that won\u2019t hold up as well in comparison to the better products.&nbsp;When selecting which brand of epoxy to use, it is important to always do your research and read reviews so as to make the best decision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Challenging and Messy to Apply<\/h4>\n<p>Epoxy can be difficult to apply and can be very daunting for a novice DIYer.&nbsp;Adding an epoxy finish to an existing bar top and can be a complicated and messy process, particularly if you have never worked with epoxy before.&nbsp;We recommend practicing before you tackle your initial project to ensure that you do not make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent any air bubbles and to ensure that your surface is free of lumps, the epoxy will require an even application. Worst case scenario, you may have to remove the epoxy you have applied and start again, which is not only difficult to do, but it is a waste of materials and your time.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of epoxy products are \u2018self-leveling\u2019, which means that they will flow across the surface and over the edge, causing the epoxy to level out automatically. This does, however, result in a lot of the epoxy dripping off the edge of the bar top.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Prone to Staining<\/h4>\n<p>The epoxy may be durable, but it stains very easily. You need to ensure that anything spilled on your epoxy surface is cleaned up immediately, as this will decrease your chance of permanent stains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>No Second Chances<\/h4>\n<p>When working with epoxy, every step is done on the fly where you can only hope for the best results. You will create any patterns and color within a very limited time frame, putting you under pressure to complete the casting before the resin begins to harden and cure.<\/p>\n<p>On a positive note, you are creating something which is a once-off and is unique, although on the other hand, it can sometimes turn out looking far too much like a \u2018craft project\u2019.&nbsp;You can always choose to redo the epoxy surface if you are unhappy with your first attempt, but this just means more money, effort, mess, and time. We suggest that you keep the colors and pattern simple if it is your first time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5317\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat.jpg\" alt=\"Bar Top Clear Coat\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Bar-Top-Clear-Coat-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Clean Epoxy Bar Tops<\/h2>\n<p>It is very easy to clean your epoxy surfaces, as you can use an assortment of cleaning products and methods without causing any form of damage to the surface. You need to keep the following in mind though:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Try not to use any abrasive cleaning products.<\/strong> These could potentially dull the surface or leave scratches. Certain abrasive cleaners can even leave swirl marks on your bar tops. Do not use polishes, waxes, or scouring pads on your epoxy surfaces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>To ensure that the shine of the surface lasts, we suggest applying a small quantity of high-quality mineral oil directly to the epoxy surface periodically.<\/strong> Doing so once a week or even once a month will help to stop the surface from dulling. However, you should make sure to not use too much oil as this can result in a cloudy effect.&nbsp;Should you incorrectly add too much oil, be sure to wipe it up with a cloth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>With regards to the the quality of an epoxy resin, lower-end epoxies can stain easily.<\/strong>&nbsp;One does not have to worry too much about potential staining with brands of higher qualities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The best way to avoid stains is to clean up spills immediately using either a washcloth or a paper towel.<\/strong> You can also make a baking soda paste, which can aid in removing tougher stains.&nbsp;You can make the paste by combining four parts of baking soda with one part water. Once you have made the paste, you can apply it directly onto the stain and leave it to sit for 5 minutes. You can then wipe it away using a cloth, and hopefully, the stain should be removed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you find the stain is still there, there is one other option you can attempt.<\/strong> You can try using acetone or a paint thinner to remove an assortment of stains, such as those caused by berries, wine, or coffee.&nbsp;Using a cloth, dip it in the acetone and carefully rub it over the stain in a circular motion. Try using a bit more pressure if the stain doesn\u2019t come out at first.&nbsp;Never attempt to use bleach try to remove any stains, as bleach can stain the epoxy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Now that you have a thorough understanding of what it takes to coat your bar top with epoxy resin, you too can refurbish your countertops to create an epoxy masterpiece!<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking to make a bar top that is long-lasting, unique, and beautiful, we recommend you make an epoxy bar top.
