Epoxy glazing

Ceramic fixtures are being more commonly glazed with 2 part epoxy compounds.

The first component is a clear or opaque resin combined with a catalyst or hardener.

The proper procedure requires that the nonporous fixture be sand blasted to create a rough surface for the epoxy primer to adhere to.

Since a true epoxy begins to yellow at the age of 1 year acrylic polyurethane compound is used in the topcoat.

Formica countertops can also be glazed in this fashion using a faux stone or granite look.
