What is Polymer-resin?
In its simplest terms, it is a thick, 2-part, high-gloss resin which, when cured, is comparable to 6-8 coats of a high-gloss varnish. In essence, it is a hard "poly-ethelene" or "epoxy" (hard plastic), permanent clear-glass-type finish which is highly resistant to water, alchohol, some chemicals, and changing room temperatures, and will not fade or yellow (unless placed in direct sunlight over a long period of time). Cleaning of the surface, when necessary, only requires normal cleaning with a light touch of mild soap and moderate rinsing with only a damp cloth of the area with clear water. Minor surface scratches can easily be removed by intense rubbing on the scratch itself to produce enough of heat-friction to, in essence, melt the surrounding surface's hard plastic area together. Commercial polishes and finishes, because of their harsh chemicals, are always to be avoided.
It seldom happens, but if necessary, the product may be re-coated to re-new its appearance. We at Kearns' Woodcrafts have always offered this service to our previous customers free of charge.
