This two-part epoxy, when mixed with its 'Part B' hardener (pictured), will cure in an amber color. The final result will *not* be clear.

Yes its the best epoxy on the market its marine grade .You have to let it cure over night and the nice thing about this epoxy is it has some flex to it so it want crack . good luck

I use barkeeper's friend on all the stainless steel in my kitchen. It's the only thing I've found so far that makes things look like new and doesn't leave streaks. It's great for sinks and pans, but kind of a pain to use on stoves, fridges, dishwashers since it's a powder that you have to wet, then rub all over, then rinse off. I just get it at the grocery store. It comes in a tube container like comet.

My advice is to give it a try. It does very nicely in improving the "chalky/hazy" appearance you can get over time with dark synthetic sink materials and I don't think it could do any harm, whatsoever. It does add luster. You might also find Hope's Perfect Sink at your local Lowes stores.

There are different types of epoxy but ultimately it is basically just a very hard resin that will scratch and scorch if you put a hot pan on it. There are epoxies that are marketed just for countertops you may want to look into. They come in larger quantities as well. For what I used this product on it seemed pretty hard but it isn't getting any wear though.

I only covered flat surfaces (counter top) so my only guess would be that since your covering something bowl shaped you'd have to constantly rotate it to keep the epoxy flowing smooth until it dried. Sorry that's just a guess though. Do they make rotisseries for things that aren't food? You could probably call the company though. I looked them up online countertopepoxy.com

If you want the epoxy to go all the way to the edge of your project then some of it will inevitably run off. It has a high surface tension though so it wont all just fall over the edge like water. Pour it close to the edge and in the middle (like in the picture on the box) and then use something to spread it / push it closer to the edge. In order to get all the way to the edge you will probably end up pushing some off, but most of it should stay on top. I would add that I used the exact amount recommended for my square footage (I think it was 64 oz for 9 sq ft) and I wished I had just a bit more. Also if you have any cracks do a pre seal or seal with some polyurethane first as it will leak through. There are some decent youtube videos demonstrating the proper application process as well.

My counter top has held up very well. Liquid left on top of it does not affect it. It has not stained to date. I don't see that it would be a problem around a sink if you were able to caulk around the sink so that water could not get under it. I don't think that it would work very well if your kitchen sink is bottom mounted. Hope this helps.

I used it on my kitchen sink. it looked great for a few weeks but then it started to wear away. Better to have it professionally done.

Yes, I've used diluted bleach in and on sink. Not really certain if I should have but there was no immediate change to sink surface. I now wonder about long term exposure or use. I need to check manufacturer's recommendations. The sink is great though.

This putty is formulated to create a watertight seal between plumbing fixtures and sinks or other surfaces. It is oil free and according to the manufacturer will not stain porous surfaces. It really depends on what you want to achieve. If you want something that will just create a a seal and the cook-top has flat surfaces on the granite it would help. If you are trying to cushion the cook top from the granite or prevent it from moving the putty would not be suitable.

A plastic welding epoxy putty would work better if it is a crack in the plastic.You would want to roughen up and then clean the area first before you seal it over.

Would expect the LN 950 to do the job. Follow !!!! the instructions. KEEP the sink in place for several DAYS until the adhesive has cured & gained its strength. Don't depend on the adhesive to hold the sink in place. JUST to be the waterproof bond. You might want to contact Liquid Nails Co to verify.

Michele: It's a very good underwater epoxy product that I use to seal open spaces between my metal skimmers and edges of hard plastic trim that surrounds them. at times a little of the epoxy will get on a small area of liner and will eventually separate. I don't know your exact use but I use other glue/ materials made to seal problems, like small rips in the vinyl liner.

I'm not sure I'm qualified in this case, because I have only used this epoxy for small projects, but I think this would not be an appropriate adhesive for a project like that - epoxy is super good at filling spaces and cures very hard, but it is extremely brittle once cured, and I would not think that an area which will be frequently wet would be great over the long term. This is such a specific thing that it might be worth emailing the manufacturer, just in case I'm wrong!

I used on my porcelain sink w/o removing any grime or stains prior to use of it. It worked really great, even cleaned stains from around the drain. I 1st used a regular sponge cleaner over the stains, no response. I used a magic eraser, cleaned some, but not as much as I wanted. Used hope with magic eraser and almost effortlessly removed stains and "appeared" to cover scratches. I have white sink, so, whether it helped the scratches or not, I don't know. But my sink looked awesome after cleaning and rinsing!

If you do try it, use it in a inconspicuous spot before doing it on the whole fridge! It works wonders on my stainless steel sink. I apply it rub the sink with some paper towels, rinse the sink with water, then (dry) shine it up with a soft kitchen towel. That is where you might have a problem, not be able to rinse it off. There is a stainless steel spray that they make that could work better, called Hopes perfect stainless steel polish. That is for appliances. It is right here on Amazon
