SECTION 1 --- Basic No Blush Epoxy BARTOP (tm) Version

A specially formulated version of our popular Basic No Blush epoxy. Note that blushing is a waxy film that can form on the top of cheaper, lower-quality epoxies. We use only non-blushing epoxy chemicals.

Typical orders are for 1 - 3 units (each unit being 1 gal of Epoxy Part A and a half gal of BARTOP Part B epoxy hardener).

FYI: A 1.5 gallon unit of Basic No Blush epoxy will cover about 200 sf if rolled on a flat surface. If poured 1/4 inch thick into a 'framed' table top or bar top, that same 1.5 gallons will only cover 9 sf.

Basic No Blush BARTOP has the specific properties helpful for bar top, table top, and penny floors:

• Contains bubble breakers (bubbles are a real problem with epoxy pours - even the other online vendors are forced to address this issue). We are the only people with bubble breakers in this class of epoxy resins. It gives the part a cloudy look in the jugs, but totally clear when used on tables and bars.
• Reduced viscosity - a thinner epoxy system for better self-leveling and spreadability.
• Longer pot life - about 20 or 25% more working time per batch of epoxy than the regular Basic No Blush epoxy. This is helpful in warmer weather and when covering larger surface areas.

Other Versions of Basic No Blush Epoxy:

• One version of Basic No Blush allows boat builders to work with the epoxy in temps at or below freezing. Picture building a small boat in an unheated barn in Vermont in February.
• Another version of Basic No Blush (standard cure) is used to re-seal pebble decks around patios and pools (usually in Florida) in the spring and summer when temperatures are cooler.
• A third version of Basic No Blush is used in very warm temperatures (mostly boat repairs in summer time southern USA).
• The TABLETOP version was formulated and added into our family of No Blush (tm) epoxies in Aug 2020 (explaining the lack of customer pictures, quotes, etc.).

Basic No Blush - Special "BARTOP" Version (Sold in 1.5 Gal Units). Great for Live Edge or "Framed" Projects

A specially formulated version of our popular Basic No Blush epoxy. Note that blushing is a waxy film that can form on the top of cheaper, lower-quality epoxies. We use only non-blushing epoxy chemicals.

Typical orders are for 1 - 3 units (each unit being 1 gal of Epoxy Part A and a half gal of BARTOP Part B epoxy hardener).

SECTION 2 --- Thin Non-Pour Epoxy Surfaces with Non-Epoxy Top Coat

Thin non-pour epoxy surfaces with non-epoxy top coat.

Usually, this is our ESP 155 epoxy (tm) sealer with INDIA SPAR VARNISH (and sometimes the $$$ ACRYLIC POLY UV PLUS on top of the India Spar Varnish).

The INDIA SPAR VARNISH can be waxed and buffed to a mirror finish (picture sliding that pitcher of beer down the bar top surface!). We like the INDIA SPAR VARNISH top coat because it provides good outdoor UV protection (like you see on the wood trim on boats), and a fresh coat can easily be re-applied to return to the 'like new' appearance.

Typical orders are for one unit of ESP 155 (one quart of Part A and one quart of Part B) and one or two quarts of the India Spar Varnish. Usually, two coats of ESP 155 and two or three coats of India Spar Varnish are applied. Note that you can also brush on the thicker and solvent-free Basic No Blush BARTOP instead of the ESP 155. The Basic No Blush epoxies can be shipped to California.

ESP 155, India Spar Varnish, and Acrylic Poly UV Plus all contain solvents and cannot be shipped/sold in California. They can only be purchased at our PRIMARY ONLINE STORE. Please do not purchase if your SHIP TO address is in California. (click here for purchase links).

Thick epoxy layers are expensive. Perhaps you really don’t need the “thick look” of a poured epoxy surface. Seal and stabilize the surface with our solvent-based ESP 155 epoxy and then top coat with our India Marine Spar Varnish. Do not apply over white surfaces (as these products have a slight tint to them and will show up unevenly against a white background).

These products all have other popular applications outside of Table Top Bar Top projects:

• ESP 155 is:
  • a common concrete sealer, primer
  • sealer over old fiberglass boat hulls
  • wood sealer
• INDIA SPAR VARNISH is a common UV blocker over epoxy surfaces, usually in the boat repair and maintenance market.
• ACRYLIC POLY UV PLUS has UV blocking additives. Commonly used on epoxy floors to stop yellowing and/or in the application of colored paint chips to epoxy floors. It is NOT a user-friendly product and not recommended for users with limited experience using 2-part polyurethanes.

Customer Review

"I bought some ESP 155 as a prime coat and used your India Marine Spar Varnish on top - unbelievably good! Forty-year-old mahogany seats in my dingy look as good as the brand new gunwales. Not sure how well it projects on the camera - dark basement - but looks so, so good!" John 1/15

Why ESP 155 Epoxy Sealer and Primer is the Best in its Class:

SECTION 3 — Bio Clear 810 Epoxy (tm) - Our Original, Professional Grade Surface Epoxy

Bio Clear 810 Epoxy (tm) - Our Original, Professional Grade Surface Epoxy

This is the favorite epoxy resin for professional epoxy artists and top specialists. The Bio Clear 810 epoxy is known for its thin layer with reduced yellowing and very low surface tension, which ensures superior self-leveling. If applied too thin on smooth surfaces, it can cause fisheyes, so it's recommended to pour at a minimum thickness of 1/4 inch with no "live edge".

Because of its high-quality resin formulation, Bio Clear 810 Epoxy sometimes begins to self-crystallize over time. We ensure our inventory is fresh, so you get the best product.

This epoxy uses cyclo-aliphatic formulation and contains NO nonyl phenol, which is why it is highly regarded and favored by professionals.

The Bio Clear 810 Difference:

• Professional-grade epoxy with minimal yellowing over time.
• Self-leveling properties for smoother finishes.
• Highly durable and clear finish, even for large-scale projects.

The PROs use Bio Clear 810 because the 'other bargain internet' stuff just doesn't perform up to commercial standards.

A commercial epoxy pour contractor recently used our Bio Clear 810 to replace a badly yellowed epoxy-covered logo on the inside floor of a regional airport terminal with our 'almost no yellowing' Bio Clear 810 (cyclo-aliphatic epoxies to the rescue!).

Don't be like the first contractor that just poured some cheap clear epoxy over the airport logo and thought they did a good job. It looked fine to start with, and the contractor made a few extra dollars using generic clear epoxy. Too bad. The airport was lucky they could redo their badly damaged cheap epoxy mistake. Most folks cannot redo their special poured epoxy table top.

One contractor/customer was hired to do a poured epoxy floor in the Hawaii-based recording studio (the 1156 sf example mentioned above) of a retired famous rock star with our Bio Clear 810 epoxy (plus lots of commercial bar tops and airport terminal logo floors). All we can add is that most of our commercial contractor Bio Clear 810 customers started out with other epoxy brands and shifted over to us.

Bio Clear 810 Epoxy (tm) Testimonials and Reviews

"Love the product (Bio Clear 810) these past six years I've been using it." - John R. 8/15

"Damn! We love this product. Been using it to create VERY high-end gaming tables for 8'ish years." - John R. 10/17

"We've been using the Bio Clear 810 for many years for game tables. We probably do 4-6 per year using a little less than 1/4" of epoxy. Here's a link to just a very small sampling of the tables we've made." - John R. View the samples here (10/18)

"Bio Clear 810 (tm) - Table top epoxy for Professionals. The PROs keep coming back, year after year."

"Great Product. Works great on burying wine and craft beer labels on tabletops, etc." - C.G.H. 11/16

"As a professional woodworker, I was recently contracted to make a 14-foot curling table for a customer. After doing some research, I came across your Bio-Clear 810 epoxy product and chose it for the price and the eccentric website. I figured that such a 'different' website MUST be offset by a truly quality product."

"I was right! My customer was delighted with the product and I hope to sell many more of these curling tables in the United States." - Joseph

"I just wanted to thank you for such a great product. I completed my first bar top table and gave it as a wedding gift to my niece and her new husband. They absolutely loved it. (pictures below!)"

"I read and reread all the information regarding the usage of the Bio Clear 810, including all the input from the other customers. They are right, and you are right about reviewing all the information. Thank you again on a great product. I sent some pictures on the process."

"Thanks!"

"I thought I would send two pictures of a project my son and I completed with your Bio-Clear 810 tabletop epoxy. My son collected beer caps while traveling in the US and around Europe. I made the table to fit between two lounge chairs in his Man Cave. We filled the caps with caulk (so they would not float) and glued them to the one-half inch deep table, then poured the epoxy. I had talked to some people in your office, received some good advice, and the results were great." - Ray

"As a complete novice using epoxies, I was nervous about pouring a bar top over wine corks. Thanks to your great advice and superb Bio-Clear 810, the finished product looks fantastic!"

"We cut the corks roughly in half and glued them down using a hot glue gun covering the entire bottom of each cork. The corks were sealed with polyurethane as was the deck. We did two pours with the first not quite covering the majority of the corks. There was very little odor." - Jay from Michigan

"All in, you made this look like a pro job even though I was a rookie! Thanks!"
