[QUOTE="Rawr-DQ, post: 5024314, member: 558585"] Look, the first thing is you will probably need 1/2 gallon resin. For every 8-16 oz resin (whatever the directions say) you will need about 3.5-7cc of mekp (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide) It is the catalyst that makes the resin harden. I usually get several plastic cups and pour about 3-4 8 oz cups of resin when doing a couple layers. Right before you use your resin, you add the hardener to the liquid and stir with Popsicle sticks (something disposable) You will need several 1" brushes (do not use foam) and several latex or butyl nitrile gloves. Your working time will be around 5 to 10 minutes, at the point the resin starts to gel up, you might as well switch to some fresh resin. when you lay your glass (thinner sheets are easier to work with) You can wet the area first to get it sticky then apply the glass evenly on the flat surface, dab (poke) resin onto the glass and get it transparent. If you have any bubbles wet the brush the try to stab them out. when working around curves keep the brush wet dont try to thin it out too much other wise it slide the glass and mess everything up. Once a layer is done, you can do another layer real quick, but between a few layers let it dry. if you can't get the glass to wrap let it dry then cut it off. [/QUOTE]
