Preparation
1. Read all instructions before opening epoxy containers.
2. The tin with mixed epoxy may get warm so set it onto cardboard or another layer.
3. Cover surface of the work area and the carpet or flooring under the countertop to protect these areas from drips or spills
of the Surface Prep Coating.
4. On the underside of the counter, use a pencil to mark the general outline of where the heater will be attached. Surface
Prep Coating should be applied to the area, ensuring that the perimeter of the heater will be attached to coated stone.
Oversize the coating area somewhat to provide some extra assembly tolerance.
5. Do not mix the Surface Prep Coating epoxy directly on the stone. Use the mixing tin provided.
IMPORTANT: Once the two tubes of epoxy are mixed together, the coating has a limited work life.
Do not mix the ingredients until just prior to brushing on the coating.
The mixed epoxy will begin to harden in about 3-5 minutes. This is a very short time frame so brush on the
epoxy fast with the primary focus on the perimeter of where the heating mat will be placed.
IMPORTANT: If you have two kits included with your FeelsWarm mat, mix and apply one kit at a time.
Applying the Coating
1. In the mixing tin, combine the entire contents of the tubes containing both Part A and Part B of the epoxy. Rapidly stir
together using the tongue depressor. It is important to thoroughly combine Part A and Part B. Again, only mix one kit at
a time if you are provided two.
2. Use the enclosed brush to apply a thin layer of the Surface Prep Coating to the underside of the countertop. Start
by applying an inch-wide path (inside the penciled outline) around the entire perimeter of where the heater will be
attached. The coating must cover where the edges of the heater will attach to the countertop. It is not critical to coat
the entire surface where the heating element attaches, but you may do so if there is enough coating available. Focus on
working quickly and not precision. Bristles from the brush may come off, but the heating mat will cover them up. Speed
is essential.
3. The consistency of coating is similar to thick honey and brushes on in thick strokes. The consistency of coating is similar
to thick honey. The coating will not drip down vertically if a thin coat is applied.
4. Complete the application quickly. The coating will start to harden and will no longer be usable within 5 minutes after
mixing the epoxy.
After Application
1. The coating will harden completely in approximately 30 minutes (at 70 degrees F). Avoid touching the coating prior to
that time.
2. Once the surface is no longer tacky, the surface is ready.
3. Attach the heating element to the counter following the instructions in this manual.
