High Build Liquid Glass Crekoat NB3001 is a high-performance, two-part epoxy resin designed mainly for creating stunning 3D metallic floors. It is also versatile enough for tabletops, art projects, and crafts. High Build Liquid Glass Crekoat NB3001 can be poured up to 5 mm deep, with most applications involving building up layers of 1.5 mm to 4mm at a time.
Key Features of Crekoat NB3001
100% Solids Formula: This means the liquid resin does not contain solvents that evaporate. When it hardens, it retains its full thickness, creating a highly durable, thick, and seamless finish.
3D Metallic Effects: It is specially formulated to be mixed with metallic powders and mica pigments, allowing you to create beautiful, swirling, liquid-metal appearances on concrete floors or as wall art with other mediums for the base.
Versatile Pouring: It can be poured up to 4mm deep at a time, but it is typically applied at about 2mm thick.
Safe and Tough: It is VOC-free (no harmful fumes), low odour, highly resistant to scratches, and holds up well under heavy foot traffic.
How to Use High Build Liquid Glass Crekoat NB3001
Mix Ratio: It is usually mixed in a ratio of 3:1 by weight (3 parts resin to 1 part hardener). You must measure these amounts precisely for the epoxy to cure correctly.
Pot Life: Once mixed, you only have about 30 to 40 minutes of "pot life" (working time) before it starts to harden. Please pour and spread it quickly.
Application: It is usually applied by pouring it onto a surface and spreading it with a trowel, notched squeegee, or roller, then allowing it to self-level.
Curing: It generally dries to the touch within a day or two, but takes several days to cure and reach its maximum strength fully.
Why depth matters for NB3001
-
Heat buildup: When the two parts of epoxy (resin and hardener) mix, they create a chemical reaction that generates heat.
Surface coating vs. casting: NB3001 is designed as an industrial-strength topcoat. It is thicker and cures faster, meaning a deep pour will cause it to trap heat, warp, and yellow.
How to achieve a deeper look
If your project requires a thicker final finish (like a deep river table or casting a thick mould),
Do Not Use NB3001 for the entire depth. Use
Ocean Cast 100 for the bulk of the build-up, then pour High Build Liquid Glass over the top once cured to create the desired effect.
Pouring in layers: Pour your first 3 mm layer of NB3001 and let it partially cure for 24 hours.
Build up: Once it is firm to the touch, pour the next 3mm to 5mm layer on top. You can use multiple Mica pigments for blending unique-looking final pours.
Use the right product: For solid pours deeper than 1 cm, switch to Ocean Cast 100, which releases heat slowly to allow for thick single pours up to 100mm
