Description
MR. JO Artglue – CT50i is a two-part clear epoxy coating. It has medium thickness and gives a shiny, glass-like finish. In addition, it is easy to clean and solvent-free. Once cured, the surface is safe for food and drinking water. You need to mix the two parts in a 2:1 ratio. Therefore, it works well on art surfaces, tabletops, and countertops.
