    I've looked a lot online and I think it's Epoxy Resin I need to buy for my bar countertops. I want the "Glass like" finish on them. I've called a few paint stores and none of them have it / know what I'm talking about. Where can I get the epoxy that you pour on timber counters to give it the glass / plastic finish? Preferably in Cork!

    I use West system epoxy for boat building and get it here http://marineparts.ie/epoxy-kits-and-sundries/ it's a bit more expansive than other epoxies but I find it's worth the extra few quid, I mostly use 105 and 205 the 205 has a tint of yellow but if you want 100% clear go with 207 special clear hardener they might have to order it in for you as I think I'm the only person that uses it :)

    I take it this is what you are planning on doing.

    That video is exactly what I want to achieve. Are those West Systems products suitable? I'd rather have a clear finish without yellow colouring
