I'm using this epoxy resin...http://www.ebay.com/itm/EPOXY-RESIN-...item483544bccc

Check some of the links within their page for some great tips..(at least they were great for a noob like me)

And this method of application...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rTWaV1imzs

With liberal wet sanding & a couple coats of uv clear coat to finish.
