Have a stained board. I used a scotch bright pad to lightly go over board before adding a light coat of epoxy. Soon after applying some areas seem to repeal the epoxy.What is causing this, and how do I fix the problem?
Just a bit more information please
What type of stain? oil, water or alcohol-based
How much time between application of stain and then epoxy?
What kind of epoxy and what mix ratio?
Thanks
This plywood that has a dark oil base stain.Been stain for a couple of months.Scotch bright was new.epoxy is a 2 to 1ratio and is made by entropy resins.
I have not used the Entropy resins. These new bio-based green resins look promising. So all I can do is guess that oils in the stain are causing the problem. Possible solution would be seal the stain with dewaxed shellac and then apply epoxy. Hope this helps
