but I would not think a beginner would know such things and thought an epoxy with the name "Clear Cast" might cause some confusion with "casting plastic" which is in fact a polyester.  Having never used that particular epoxy before, it confused me when I saw the name and I just was pointing that out in case we had some beginners reading this thread.  At any rate, I would suggest a beginner try some of the simpler forms of water products  before tackling polyester casting formulations. Their use does tend to be a little more involved.

Thanks for all of the tips. Now to proceed on to using the product. Again thanks.

I've used another product with good results.  Americana (now DecoArt) brand Triple Thick Gloss Glass is an acrylic product that is easy to apply and clean up.  Just brush it on and let it dry for a couple of days. You can add additional layers to create a thicker look.  And because it is an acrylic product it can be tinted with water soluble (craft)paints.  I buy mine at my local Michaels Arts and Crafts store; around $6 for an 8 oz. jar.

has been used as water before. I've never tried it personally but I've heard about it. Makes an excellent gloss coat on model rockets too....but that's another hobby.
