How to Treat Wood Before Epoxy Resin Application



Preparing Wood for Epoxy Resin Application

Before you apply RESINPRO resin on wood, it?s crucial to ensure the surface is clean and free from dust, dirt, or any residues from previous treatments. For optimal outcomes, we recommend cleaning the wood with a damp cloth and allowing it to fully dry before proceeding with the treatment.

Thorough Sanding

Sanding the wood is a vital step to achieve a smooth and uniform surface prior to applying the resin. Use fine-grit sandpaper to gently sand the wood, ensuring to eliminate any imperfections and scratches. Sanding also serves to open up the wood pores, enhancing resin adhesion.

Applying a Protective Base

To prevent the resin from penetrating too deeply into the wood, it?s advisable to apply a protective base before pouring the resin. We suggest using a primer or a specialized wood sealer to enhance resin adhesion and safeguard the wood from potential damage.

Checking Wood Moisture Levels

Before proceeding with resin application, it?s crucial to ensure that the wood has an appropriate moisture level. Wood that is overly wet can hinder proper resin curing, while excessively dry wood may absorb the resin excessively, impacting the final result. We recommend utilizing a moisture meter to assess wood moisture before resin application.
