Envirotex pour-on finish?

Anyone here ever try this Envirotex Lite stuff on a pedal? This is that thick high-gloss pour-on epoxy that's often seen on bartops, looking like it's maybe 1/8" thick and almost wet.
Thinking it might be fun and probably pretty protective. Anyone try it, or do I need to take one for the team?

I cant remember what bartops look like , but i think Envirotext is worth to try. I add this to mysugarinthegourd wrote:Anyone here ever try this Envirotex Lite stuff on a pedal?

Ooooh, that Crystal FX stuff looks friggin sweet!
I've seen the bartops with the coating you're talking about. Besides being careful not to layer it on too thick, I think it'd be pretty nifty! The nicest bartops I've seen like this are boxed in at the top, with at least 1/8" of this stuff poured inside.

I bought some of the Envirotex stuff about a year ago for exactly this same purpose... I still haven't gotten around to trying it.
I should try doing some kind of decoupage thing or something with leaves and nature junk all over it or something like that. You know, have a bunch of small sorta flat object in it; take advantage of the whole 3D depth possibility.
Yes, that would be much more interesting than just using it to cover paint.

I've got some Envirotex on the way, and hope to try it soon...
how to you get it to be a smooth finish if you pour that stuff on. Don't you get a huge mess?
