Hi Robert,

Casting resin has a couple of quirks.

1/ Very self levelling – which may mean it doesn’t like hanging around on vertical surfaces.

2/ A much slower cure rate so that large volumes for casting don’t overheat.

I would be worried that it might not stay put when applied for both of these reasons unless the surface is horizontal.

Very much recommend checking with the manufacturer. They might have some suggestions.

Best wishes
Michael

I was given 10 gal. of good quality resin. It would be a real money savings.
