Anyone who has ever used epoxy resin for a building in the aquarium or perhaps in boat building, often does not know where epoxy resin is still in there. Whether as a metal adhesive or for the construction of gliders on the interior painting of hair spray cans. Here's what epoxy resin is used for. Construction adhesive or reaction resin mortar Reaction resin mortar says nothing to most home improvement initially. But if they want to cast a stone carpet to make a floor-level shower, they will need just this plastic-based mortar. At the same time, epoxy resin is a special metal adhesive and construction adhesive for household, model making and boat building. Painting and repairing compound for concrete Industrial floors are now often sealed with epoxy resin. The material is impact resistant and virtually indestructible after complete curing. That is why concrete walls are also coated in sensitive areas. In addition, the epoxy resin is used to repair concrete and old wood. ...

Anyone who has ever looked into the forums on the subject of aquaristics, there is often the reference to epoxy resin. Not only the glass panes can be connected to it, but above all additional components made of polystyrene or styrofoam can be built thanks to epoxy resin in any desired shape and size for your own aquarium. Epoxy resin and its applications Epoxy resin can seal both metal and wood as well as mineral substrates such as tile adhesive. After complete drying, the surface is completely hard and even has a good impact resistance. Here are some more applications : Aquarium and terrarium boat building Motorsport Food industry Bathrooms and swimming pools Metallkleber Mortar for stone carpets Architecture in the aquarium Epoxy resin is completely solid and releases no chemical substances after curing. This makes it ideal in the aquarium to use home-made accessories. Entire landscapes of Styrofoam or polystyrene can be created, which then enrich the life as ...

These materials are fashionable at this time because of the excellent price and the resulting finish. Epoxy resin and resin cement are two materials with similar uses and many common characteristics.  What is the best for your home? Here are the most important main features of both: Resin: what is it? It is in liquid form: thanks to its physical properties, it is able to self-level (forming a smooth layer and mirror effect) and, hardening, it becomes solid and resistant. Highly resistant material, waterproof and wear-resistant. Fast application and clean finish. Smooth finish, in different colors and with reduced thickness. Cement-resin: what is it? It is a mixture of aggregates, water, pigments and adhesives.  The result is a solid finish of 1 to 3 mm thick. It is applied in a traditional way, with a metal grader, acquiring a superficial grain. It is a continuous coating, without joints.  Smooth finishes are the most common, but ...

In this part, we will see how to achieve, step by step, this famous creation that has united the innovative material (epoxy resin) and the traditional (wood). This application makes it possible to create really incredible artifacts and can be made with any material (fabrics, caps, metal, etc.).  1) Once you have chosen your WOOD (with a thickness of 2 to 3 cm), sand it with sandpaper. The finer the abrasive paper (300-400), the smoother the surface of the sanded wood will be, but also "closed" reducing the absorption of the resin and thus you will preserve the natural color of the wood. On the other hand, if the grains of the abrasive paper are "big" (60-80), the tone of the wood will be darker (it depends on the taste!). 2) Cut the part into 4 parts (quantify the parts as you want) and then clean them using compressed air, or simply a soft brush, to remove all the dust. 3) Let the wood dry in the sun (or during the cold season near a r...
