    OK, I admit the mold isnt even finished yet, but....
    What is your favorite finish to put over sanded west epoxy?
    I'm just trying to plan ahead. Thanks for your input. :)

    vermin Novice but learning

    Paint over epoxy

    I used Jotun Penguard HB as first coat. Then Jotun Imperite 300 as top coat. Easy to apply and great finish.
