I used to take a brush and paint on a thin layer of epoxy. Using a brush, I got the epoxy pretty thin but it took a while. This morning I tried using a plastic squeegee to spread out a thin layer of epoxy. It worked great! Super fast AND probably used 1/4 of the epoxy because I could get the layer so thin. Just another simple and twisted little gem that makes my life complete!
