When using a 1:1 ratio epoxy, measuring your amounts is extremely important. Here is the brand of mixing cup I trust and has never let me down https://amzn.to/3iGUHU0
I use Diablo 5" random orbital sanding discs (I use different grits, working my way up to 220 - there is no need to go beyond 220 grit when using epoxy) https://amzn.to/2MizlAv
With the exception of a little hand sanding, I use this Dewalt Random Orbital Sander https://amzn.to/3iJVxzx
This is an epoxy cleaner which I use before delivering any epoxy product to a client. It also contains an epoxy polish to help maintain your finish. https://amzn.to/3iHRYd6
