I'm sure that's the fourth or fifth product I've seen that's identical to Envirotex. Basically the same product marketed under a different name.
Tap Plastics also carries one, although I see they no longer have the gallon kit.
It's pretty easy to find in local paint shops. I buy mine at Menard's, a Home Depot type HIC.
Should save a ton on shipping.
As I've already mentioned, this product is VERY easy to work with compared to other epoxies. Just be careful when mixing.
To take full advantage of the self-leveling properties you need to pour each visible surface on a different day. Otherwise you'd have to brush the product and that does not work well.
That oak cage took four days, for example (one each for the back, bottom, and two sides). The bottom is not exactly visible but it's such a big surface that it was easier to pour it rather than brush it on.
Be very careful with calculating how much to mix and making sure you have the exact amount of each. You also need to make sure each panel you are pouring is perfectly level (I used wood shims).
I can go into all of this in more detail if you like.
One more thing... a one gallon kit is enough to pour the equivalent of a full sheet of plywood. ----- Current snakes:
