Back to School... again !!! The big shocker to people considering a thick poured-on epoxy finish is the amount of epoxy necessary. After that comes the amount of time and space needed. You can read more on creating a great poured finish here:

The Basic Math :
1 gallon of anything applied 1/4 inch thick will only cover slightly less than 6.5 square feet.
1 gallon of anything applied 1 inch thick will only cover 1.6 square feet.
At 1/2 inch thick that gallon of epoxy will only cover about 3.2 square feet.
There 231 cubic inches in a gallon. One square foot is equal to 144 square inches.
Of course all of the above is only true if you are filling a form. If you are covering a table and the edges, throw all that out the window.
There are a lot of techniques that can help, but rather then go into them in detail, please visit our blog:
