The coverage of a 0.5 kg kit is approximately 4 m2 Each kit includes dyes and pigment in sufficient quantity for the amount of resin required.   HOW TO CREATE YOUR MARBLE EFFECT WITH EPOXY Guide Instructions:  Step N1: Primer  Start by carefully measuring the amount needed to cover the surface based on the consumption of 150 g/m2, making sure to follow the proportions indicated to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Once the base has been prepared, proceed with adding the dye, choosing between white or black depending on your needs. The quantity of colourant to add to the mixture can be measured in a few drops (max 5% by volume). This step is crucial to achieve the desired colour and ensure uniformity of the application. Before applying the primer, it is essential that the surface intended for treatment is adequately prepared. Sand the surface with a coarse grit (40 or 60) before any operation. Make sure it's completely clean, using a soft cloth or brush to remove any pigment, dirt or debris. The surface must also be completely dry; residual humidity can compromise the adhesion of the primer and its effectiveness in sealing the surface.  Once the surface is ready, apply the mixture evenly, using a suitable tool such as a brush, roller or spatula, depending on the size of the area to be treated and your personal preference. The key is to get a thin, even layer that can cover the entire area without leaving gaps or excessive product buildup.. After application, it is essential to allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding with further treatments or finishes on the surface. The recommended waiting time is 12 hours; this range may vary slightly depending on environmental conditions, such as humidity and temperature, but offers a good compromise to ensure the mixture has time to dry and adhere properly. During this period, avoid touching or stressing the treated surface to ensure optimal results. Don't worry if you notice any discrepancies on the surface, the next main pour will level everything perfectly.  Step N2: application  Start by applying masking tape around the perimeter of your countertop to contain the epoxy you're about to pour. This step is essential to ensure the resin stays where it is needed. After applying the resin, wait about 1.5 hours before gently removing the tape. To ensure coverage is even and complete, plan to use approximately 1.6kg of resin for every square meter of surface area.  When you are ready to mix the resin, use a drill equipped with a paddle mixer for quick and even action (use at low speed), taking about 2 minutes for this operation. If you prefer to mix by hand, be prepared to take double the time. Don't forget to scrape the sides and bottom of the container halfway through the process with a stick to ensure all the material is mixed well. Next, separate the already mixed resin into different glasses and add the desired colours, mixing the different colours in the different glasses until you obtain an intense and uniform colour per single glass.  To create a striking visual effect, pour the coloured resin in random layers into a larger bucket, being careful not to mix the colours together too much. After filling the bucket, spread the contents over the surface of the worktop, leaving a small amount of resin aside to finish the edges later. To remove trapped air bubbles, gently run a propane torch or heat gun over the surface.   Once the adhesive tapes have been removed, approximately 1.5 hours after application, if there are any dry edges, moisten them slightly by wearing a protective glove to promote an even appearance. Use appropriate tools, such as spatulas or plastic scrapers, to spread and level the resin along the edges, making sure to cover the entire area well. After letting the resin cure for 24 hours, you can apply a clear top coat or PoliShield scratch-resistant paint to further protect the surface.  Finally, for even more refined visual effects, spray 99.9% isopropyl alcohol onto the surface just before the resin begins to fully harden. This will create unique lacy textures. Remember that when you remove the tape, it is essential that the resin is partially hardened, neither too liquid nor completely solid, to avoid unwanted drips.  Attention! Safety Guidelines for Using Isopropyl Alcohol (99.9%) Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a highly flammable substance. Improper use—especially near heat sources like torches or heat guns—can result in fire or explosion. To ensure safe use, follow these precautions: Primary Risks Highly flammable: IPA vapors can ignite from sparks, open flames, or hot surfaces. Forms explosive vapor-air mixtures, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Strictly Prohibited: Using gas torches or heat guns near areas treated with IPA. Spraying IPA near active heat sources. Storing IPA near flames, heaters, or hot tools. Recommended Safety Measures: 1. Ventilation: Always work in a well-ventilated area when using IPA. 2. Wait Time: After applying IPA, wait at least 5–10 minutes to allow complete evaporation before using any heat tools. 3. Safe Distance: Keep IPA containers at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from heat or flame sources. 4. Storage: Store IPA in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures. 5. Fire Safety: Have a CO₂ or dry chemical fire extinguisher nearby when working with flammable substances and open flames. In Case of Fire: Do not use water to extinguish the fire. Use an appropriate extinguisher, cut off air supply if safe, and call emergency services if needed.

Carbon Polish Black (250ml) is the defined product for polishing your carbon, dark or black surfaces. The aesthetic and economic value of the carbon product is high, and for this reason it is essential to treat the surface with specific and dedicated products, which enhance the beauty of the “carbon look”. It is important to avoid “generic" products that can spoil the work done, with insufficient gloss or even worse, fail to remove scratches. EASY TO APPLY AND REMOVE MISCIBLE WITH WATER ODOURLESS DOES NOT WHITEN PLASTIC PARTS DOES NOT CONTAIN SILICONES VERY LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The carbon polishing paste Carbon Polish Pro Black has been developed in a black colour precisely to ensure a brilliant finish and without white dots, typical of generic abrasive pastes. It can therefore be used for all dark surfaces (especially resin).   Carbon Polish Pro Black is the specific paste for carbon; black colour prevents residues from remaining visible on surfaces after polishing. Thanks to the NAP (Nano Abrasive Particles) it is a 2 in 1 product; in fact it quickly removes scratches and defects from the surface and gives at the same time a deep shine like only a polish can do.   In addition, its Synthetic Polymers allow you to correct and fill all the imperfections on the surfaces of Resin and carbon fiber artifacts.   Eliminate scratches, defects and mirror shine with a single product!   Carbon Polish Pro Black carbon polishing paste can be used both on the painted carbon and directly on the epoxy resin that covers the carbon fibers. Unlike commercial Polishes, Carbon Polish Pro Black is 100% Made in Italy, born from over 50 years of tradition in polishing. It allows both the hobbyist and the professions to obtain performing results quickly and easily. Here are the simple steps to polish or eliminate blemishes from your carbon fibre surfaces: If you need to use glass paper to remove the deepest scratches, you can do so without hesitation. The polishing paste will then be able to remove the sanding marks and make the surface smooth and shiny. Here's how:- The polishing paste Carbon Polish Black can be used by hand with extreme simplicity, with the help of a microfiber cloth or a foam pad. Or it can be used with electric tools, such as a drill and flexible, equipped with a special shepherd and foam pad (8000-12000 rpm) or with a polisher (1000-2000 rpm both rotary and ro orbital) with foam pad or wool (also synthetic). The use of tools of this kind will speed up the maintenance and ensure optimal results in even faster times.   How to prepare the surface to be polished? Here are the tricks to make the most of NAP (Nano Abrasive Particles) technology:-   Removals defects and scratches from sanding Depending on the depth of the scratch/defect, start with abrasive papers grit 800-1000 (for deep scratches) or simply 3000-4000 (for light scratches), always tend the surface wetted with water (this will help to make the result homogeneous) Apply the polishing paste for carbon fiber on the surface and spread it with circular and more or less energetic movements depending on the defect you want to remove. Or by directly attaching the buffer of the polisher / hose. We recommend one / two drops of carbon polishing paste every 3-4 cm. You can apply it several times thanks to synthetic polymers, without risking consuming the carbon, until the result is perfect. Clean up simply with water and a clean cloth. Put on your sunglasses and enjoy the dazzling result! Surface renewal: The product is also suitable as a fast and effective tool to renew your precious carbon surfaces, which wear out with normal use or exposure to atmospheric agents. In this case, the process is even easier: it is sufficient to apply the paste on the surface (well cleaned) and roll it out with circular movements, or by directly applying the buffer of the polisher / flexible.   We recommend one / two drops of carbon polishing paste every 2-3 cm.   The carbon polishing paste Carbon Polish Pro Black has been developed in black colour precisely to ensure a brilliant finish and without white dots, typical of generic abrasive pastes, and can therefore be used for all dark surfaces (especially resin). The special formula is free of volatile silicones and is therefore not harmful to health; it can also be used in painting processes.
