Epoxy Resin Resinpal 2416 – Video: Laminating & Coating

Resinpal 2416 is a crystal-clear, UV-stabilized 2-component epoxy resin for laminating and coatings up to 5 mm layer thickness. Virtually odorless, self-leveling, and crack-resistant – ideal for tabletops, surfboards, jewelry, and high-quality cast-in applications. In this video, we show the complete application process step by step.

Step by Step

Step-by-Step Application

  • 1

    Prepare the substrate Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease. Prime absorbent substrates (wood, concrete) if necessary. Room temperature min. 18 °C.

  • 2

    Weigh resin and hardener Use digital scales: 100 g resin to 50 g hardener (2:1 by weight). Larger quantities increase heat development – it is better to mix several smaller batches.

  • 3

    Mix components Stir thoroughly for at least 3 minutes – guide the stirrer along the sides and bottom. Stir slowly and evenly, avoiding air bubbles.

  • 4

    Transfer to a second cup (optional) Pour the mixture into a second cup and stir briefly again. This prevents unmixed residue on the inside wall of the cup.

  • 5

    Apply Pour the mixture slowly and evenly – max. 5 mm layer thickness. Spread with a brush or laminating roller.

  • 6

    Remove air bubbles Briefly pass a hot air gun over the surface from a distance of approx. 20 cm. Heat helps bubbles rise and burst.

  • 7

    Allow to cure Cover the surface to keep it dust-free and allow it to cure for 24 hours at min. 18 °C. Final strength is reached after approx. 7 days.

  • 8

    Finishing (optional) After full curing, sand and polish. Apply additional layers only after full curing and light sanding.

Professional Tips

Tips & Safety

At cool temperatures, place the resin container in warm water (approx. 35–40 °C) for 15 minutes. This reduces viscosity and makes air release easier.
If the resin is cloudy or crystallized: open the lid and place the container in a warm water bath at approx. 50 °C until it becomes clear again. Allow it to cool before mixing.
Wear protective gloves (nitrile), safety goggles, and respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas. Resin and hardener irritate skin and eyes (GHS07). Avoid contact with water bodies (GHS09).
Always weigh by weight – never mix by volume. Incorrect mixing ratios lead to sticky or brittle results.
Avoid Typical Mistakes

Common Mistakes When Applying Resinpal 2416

  • Application temperature too low (<18 °C) – resin does not cure completely or remains sticky
  • Stirring too quickly or intensely – air bubbles are mixed in
  • Incorrect mixing ratio – sticky or overly brittle layer
  • Layer too thick (>5 mm) – excessive heat development, cracks, yellowing
  • Mixing directly in the original container – unmixed material at the edges distorts the ratio
  • Insufficient mixing time – unmixed hardener remains as a sticky film
  • Surface not covered – contamination before curing
Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ – Resinpal 2416

What is the mixing ratio of Resinpal 2416?
100 parts resin to 50 parts hardener by weight (2:1). Accurate weighing on digital scales is essential for complete curing.
How long is the working time (pot life)?
Approx. 35 minutes at 20 °C. Higher temperatures or larger quantities reduce the pot life.
How long does complete curing take?
Approx. 24 hours until dust-dry. Full final strength is reached after approx. 7 days.
How thick can I apply Resinpal 2416?
Maximum 5 mm per application. Thicker layers generate too much heat and may crack.
Is Resinpal 2416 UV-stable?
Yes. UV stabilizers prevent yellowing even with long-term sunlight exposure.
Can I color Resinpal 2416?
Yes, but only with compatible epoxy color pastes or translucent pigments. Acrylic paints are not suitable.
Which substrates can I coat?
Wood, concrete, metal, GRP, and epoxy laminate. Prime absorbent materials beforehand or pre-coat with diluted resin.
The resin is crystallized / cloudy. What should I do?
Open the lid and place the container in a warm water bath at approx. 50 °C until the resin is clear again. Allow it to cool to room temperature before mixing.
How do I remove air bubbles?
Briefly pass a hot air gun or gas torch over the fresh surface from a distance of approx. 20 cm. Bubbles rise and burst.
Can I pour several layers on top of each other?
Yes. Allow the first layer to cure completely (24 h), then lightly sand it (e.g. 120 grit) and apply the next layer.
What protective equipment is required?
Nitrile gloves and safety goggles are mandatory. Use additional respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas. The product is classified as irritating (GHS07) and hazardous to the environment (GHS09).
