Epoxy finishes
« on: June 30, 2009, 02:59:00 PM »
For those of you who use an epoxy finish, is the satin a true satin or does it come out more like a semi-gloss?

I only have experience with two products. If you are using T Bird , the satin can become cloudy after several coats. I usually use clear for my base coats and finish with 1 or 2 light coats of satin. With Fullerplast( I think it is a true satin ) you can use satin through the whole process and get a nice dull finish that still shows off the wood grain.
NO matter where you go there you  are !

Some batches of T bird satin have more shine then others.  I've gone through about 4 different batches and they were all a little different.  I like the finish though.  Chad

That's what I've heard Chad. Just looking at alternatives.
