VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hoe leg je een epoxyharsennyvloer?

GlassCast® 3 is a remarkable clear epoxy resin developed specifically to provide a beautiful, hard wearing, clear gloss surface for tabletops, bartops, decorative floor effects, furniture and creative projects such as penny floors, bottle top tables, crushed glass features and more.

This step by step guide will show you how to do a copper penny floor using simple equipment and techniques from start to finish. The same technique can be used for a range of similar projects such as encapsulating records, bottle tops, crushed glass and even advanced composite materials such as carbon fibre for a new technical look


UITSPLITSING TUTORIAL

Laying the pennies

1. Laying the pennies

Zorg er eerst voor dat je vloer zo vlak mogelijk is en schoon en vrij van stof en vuil. Vervolgens wil je de penny's vastlijmen. Elke doe-het-zelflijm van goede kwaliteit is geschikt. Je hebt maar een dun straaltje nodig om de centen op hun plaats te houden, want de hars zelf hecht de centen aan de vloer. We hebben gekozen voor een lijm die transparant uithardt, zodat je kunt zien wanneer de lijm droog is en klaar is voor de volgende stap. Laat de lijm volledig uitharden voordat je verder gaat met de volgende stap.

Grouting the floor

2. Grouting the floor

Door de vloer te voegen krijg je een gladdere algemene afwerking van de hars en worden ook de gaten tussen de pennies opgevuld, zodat de vloer er mooier uitziet. Elk zwart voegmiddel van goede kwaliteit is geschikt. Breng het voegmiddel aan volgens de instructies van de fabrikant en gebruik een trekker om het voegmiddel te verspreiden en eventuele kieren op te vullen. Zodra het voegmiddel is aangebracht en schoongemaakt, laat je het volledig drogen voordat je verder gaat met de volgende stap. De voeg MOET droog zijn voordat er hars op wordt gegoten omdat GlassCast 3 gevoelig is voor vocht, wat het cosmetische effect en de uitharding van de hars ernstig zou kunnen schaden.

Mixing and pouring the GlassCast® 3 resin

3. Mixing and pouring the GlassCast® 3 resin

Als de voeg volledig droog is, veeg en stofzuig je de vloer even om ervoor te zorgen dat er geen stof of los vuil is dat de harsgieting kan verpesten.

In deze stap wordt beschreven hoe je een centenvloer hars aanbrengt. Voor grote vloeren raden we aan om in één keer 5 kg hars en verharder te gebruiken. Label twee emmers 1 en 2. Weeg in emmer 1 de GlassCast® 3 af. Vergeet niet de mengverhouding van 2 gewichtsdelen hars op 1 deel harder te volgen. Meng met een schone mengstaaf het hars en de verharder grondig gedurende 3 minuten en zorg ervoor dat alle hars van boven naar beneden en langs de zijkanten volledig gemengd is. Breng na 3 minuten de hars in emmer 1 over in emmer 2. Meng nog eens 3 minuten grondig. Meng nog eens 3 minuten grondig.

Zodra de hars is gemengd in emmer 2, begin je onmiddellijk de hars op de penny vloer te gieten. Je moet in dit stadium snel werken om te voorkomen dat de hars in de emmer gaat exothermen. Zodra de emmer leeg is, herhaal je het mengproces in emmer 1 en 2, waarbij je opnieuw onmiddellijk begint met het gieten van de hars op de stuivervloer, totdat alle benodigde hars is gegoten.

Elke volgende gieting van hars zal naadloos overgaan in de vorige gietingen wanneer de hars zichzelf begint te egaliseren en zich over de vloer verspreidt. Je kunt het proces op grote oppervlakken helpen door een spreider met inkepingen te gebruiken om de hars te verplaatsen zodat deze de randen van de vloer bereikt.

In dit stadium kan het lijken alsof de hars veel kleine luchtbelletjes bevat. Maak je echter geen zorgen, de unieke formulering van GlassCast® 3 bevat stoffen die helpen lucht te verdrijven tijdens het uithardingsproces. Wacht ongeveer 10 minuten na het gieten en verspreiden van de hars en je zult zien dat de meeste luchtbelletjes naar de oppervlakte komen en verdwijnen.

Curing the GlassCast® 3 resin

4. Curing the GlassCast® 3 resin

Nu het gieten klaar is, moeten we de hars volledig laten uitharden om ons de harde afwerking te geven die we wensen. De hars zal na ongeveer 24 uur uitharden - afhankelijk van de temperatuur. Tijdens deze periode mag je de vloer niet aanraken of proberen te gebruiken en moet je vermijden om deuren en ramen in die kamer te openen om de kans te verkleinen dat er stof en vuil op de vloer vallen.

Zodra de initiële uitharding is bereikt, is de vloer veilig beloopbaar. Het kan tot 7 dagen duren voordat de hars volledig is uitgehard, dus we raden aan om het verkeer gedurende die tijd zoveel mogelijk te beperken.

Je hebt nu een verbluffende vloer die met de nodige zorg vele jaren meegaat en zowel je familie als je gasten versteld zal doen staan. Na verloop van tijd kunt u kleine slijtplekken en krassen oplopen, maar deze kunnen worden weggepoetst om de hoogglansafwerking te herstellen.

Tina Bzdziak
Can I use gems instead of pennies?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes you can, although coloured ones work best as clear gems and crystals tend to blend into the resin as the resin makes the edges less visible.

Tariq Hakim
Does GlassCast resin yellow under UV?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Under high levels of UV, such as outside in the sun, GlassCast will eventually slowly yellow over a long period of time. Although GlassCast has a very high level of UV resistance, in common with all epoxies, it is not 100% UV stable hence we recommend it for indoor use.

Super Whites
Does this work with underfloor heating?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes it is fine with underfloor heating. In fact, turning the heating on during the cure can help speed up the cure process.

Retro X
Does this work for making a clear desk top?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes, this resin system can be used on desktops as well. If you are looking at a totally clear desk top, perhaps with some wood or similar (like a river table), then you may be better off looking at our GlassCast 50 product.

MeteoSprite
Can this resin be used for jewellery making?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes, it can. You can do small clear castings (or embedments) or you can use it as a domed coating over the top of badges/broaches/pendants etc.

Benjamin Whiffen
Could I use GlassCast resin to make a window?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
No, although it's called GlassCast it's not intended to be a glass substitute. If you wanted to do something along the lines of a stained glass window then there are different resins from our range that we would suggest but in all cases the cast resin would not be as strong as glass so you'd need to do some experimentation and keep this in mind when you plan your project.

Archie Flint
How should a resin floor like this be cleaned?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Cleaning should just be done with a mild detergent and water. Epoxy resin is a tough material and resistant to most chemicals. For obvious reasons, the cleaning materials to be avoided would be any abrasives or surfactants.

Benjamin Dietz
what do you use to fix the coins on the ground? is it a simple glue?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes, most household glues will do the job. In this tutorial we used a 'no more nails' product. Remember that the epoxy will do a very good job of bonding the pennies down so the glue used to stick them down is more of a temporary measure.

Mike Blalock
Will this work in a garage with cars driving on it and tools falling on it?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
No, It is not an industrial grade floor coating so in a hard use environment like that then it will quickly get scratched.

Alex R E
How will it react to stuff like pieces of cardboard, from say old game boxes?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
The resin is fine with those sort of things but what you're more likely to see is that absorbent or porous inclusions (like paper, card, photos, magazine cuttings etc.) will soak up resin and look wet, rather than look how you would want them to look. To overcome this, it's normally recommended to seal them first using PVA glue; once it's fully dried they will look dry again but no longer be absorbent to the resin.

DeathValleyDebbie
Would it work with any fabric, or do you need to use heavy specialized fabrics.
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
It works with just about anything. We've seen customer projects over the top of denim, sack cloth, carbon fibre, all sorts! There might be different techniques to get the most out of different materials but generally speaking, anything the resin can bond to will be OK.

Sandra Williams
Can you do the same concept except with pictures/photographs in place of the pennies?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes you can although depending on the grade of paper, you may need to seal over the paper with a thin coat of PVA wood glue to stop the resin soaking into the paper and making it go translucent.

Apollo
Can metallic powders be added to this product? I really love the finish with absolutely no bubbles
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes you can add a variety of metallic/pearl type pigments to the GlassCast 3 resin as well as other epoxy compatible pigment pastes and tints. You can see our range of pigments for GlassCast on the GlassCast website at www.glasscastresin.com

Resinit Ltd
Can your resin be mixed with a mixer on slow speed? of course need to keep mixer to the bottom. Thank you
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
We do not recommend using mixing machines as they tend to aerate the resin.

DeletedVelna
Would this be suitable for a shower floor ? What could I lay on it to mold some stripes (to avoid glittering) ?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
We would not recommend the use of GlassCast in Showers and other places subject to constant water exposure.

Brynley Lewis
Surely the epoxy could end up all scratched under foot? People with stiletto heels and furniture being scuffed around etc?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
The GlassCast 3 is a very durable resin but like any glossy surface it will eventually start to pick up scratches, especially if it's subjected to stilletto heals and dragged furniture. However, if this does occur there is always the possibility to polish out such scratches.

Charles Moore
If I put the pennies on a plywood sub-floor I am worried it will flex and crack the epoxy. Do you think this is likely to happen?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
If the substrate is well supported and does not flex too much then there should not be a problem. Most floors that the system is used on are plywood/Sterling board and we have not seen or had reported any problems of cracking after the floor has flexed. Use your judgement though, if the floor is really springy then it might be better to improve the way it's supported first in the same way that you'd need to for tiles.

Helly's Abstract Art
Hi I am an artist and wondered if this would be suitable for covering paintings, embedding embellishments and also for pouring into wood ??
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Yes you can use the GlassCast 3 over paintings and Artworks. For thicker castings up to 10mm I would look at our GlassCast 10 and for thicker sections - especially wood such as river tables and knot filling then our GlassCast 50 may be more appropriate.

The Yorkshire Digger
Can I use this to cast paperweights with items added into the resin? I metal detect and would like to make paperweights or display pieces with it.
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
No, GlassCast 3 is not really intended for 'casting', it's more of a coating resin. You would be better using GlassCast 50 for casting paperweights.

Travis Pope
Easy Composites Ltd what do you recommend to use as a physical barrier? Don't want it to be stuck and end up peeling/ cracking the edge of the resin
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Polypropylene plastic is ideal as it does not stick to resin - you can get it in sheet and strip form from building merchants. Alternatively any hard plastic or metal treated with a release agent will work fine. If you struggle with either we sell both release agents and polypropylene sheet if you need it.

Michelle Hancox
Hi I have floorboards, rather than concrete, what is the best surface to put down before using epoxy resin? (May just use glitter/mica, rather than pennies) Great video, by the way!
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
As long as the surface is sealed then you should be fine. If there are lots of large gaps or movement in the boards then skimming it in plywood or a thin layer of OSB will help stabilise the surface.

bmb1980
I plan on GlassCast-ing over my existing penny floor. I have underfloor hearing which means the plywood floor sometimes shifts with the heat. Will this affect the glasscast and cause it to split or while the weight of the resin ensure it is firmly pressed down?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Glasscast is compatible with under floor heating systems that go up to around 40-50°C in temperature. We would not expect any movement of the GlassCast itself once it has fully cured.

Dj Archie
I'm embraking on a table project with some inset lighting. I've used Silicone to seal the inset perimeter under the light tubing. I've read reviews online of epoxy melting silicone, are there any issues with compatibility between the silicone sealant and GlassCast epoxy resin?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
We have not heard of this happening with any epoxies before and certainly in our experience, the GlassCast range of products are not known to have any issues with silicone.

L. F.
Very nice but how do you make sure you have put enough resin to make the floor perfectly level with the other rooms' floors? For instance if I were using pebbles other than pennies.... Also is this durable for years or will you end up with scratches all over the floor in 6 months' time?
Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
Normally you would be using a self levelling screed or similar to ensure the floor is properly flat before you start and giving you a reference point to get the height correct. Other situations you just need to measure it correctly. You then need 1kg of resin per mm depth per sqm of coverage. GlassCast is highly durable and is unlikely to be heavily scratched and worn in such a long period.

Gemakkelijk samenstellenMat
You will need to build a physical barrier at the door opening. Many floors will have a wooden or metal door threshold which can be removed while a temporary barrier is put in place. You can then neaten the edge after curing of the resin to refit the threshold or fit a new one to suit. If done neatly, you should be able to hide the edge of the penny floor casting under the threshold trim piece.
