I'm glad to hear you had good success with it. I personally like the stuff but after recommending it to a few people and finding out they had back luck I've backed off a bit.



One thing for sure is that the stuff is darn expensive, even if poured thin. But that is always a trade-off.



Now that you are familiar with it you might try heating up the product before mixing and doing the pour in a heated room. You can get a very thin coat this way but you need to be confident in what you are doing. I can talk you about this more if you like.



My questions:



What product did you use exactly?



Did the manufacturer recommend the 72 hour cure time?



What wood species was on the veneer side of your plywood?



Did you seal the wood before pouring the epoxy? If so did you use a flood coat of the epoxy or something else (I have always used waterborne polyurethane to seal the wood).



What method did you use to break up the bubbles?



How thin/thick did you pour it?



What mixing method did you use? Did you use the "two-pot" method?
