What’s so special about iCoat Epoxy Resin?

Epoxy resin arts and crafts are just beginning to gain widespread popularity in America. The old myth that epoxy is too dangerous for everyday use has been dispelled—modern blends are now food-safe for food preparation, non-toxic, and contain no VOCs, making them fairly harmless.

The ability to add colors, additives, and use silicone molds has unlocked new creative possibilities for artisans, sparking imaginations and lighting up studios across the country. From river tables and cutting boards to tabletops and countertops, these stunning creations often sell for top dollar on sites like Etsy—and rightly so. But you don’t have to be an expert to make something beautiful with epoxy resin. Moms, dads, and their children are enjoying casual craft classes, making decorations, pendants, drinkware, and pet accessories that bring bling to a whole new level. It’s a wonderful way to connect, create, and share art with others.

Not all epoxies are created equal. The chemical reaction between resin and hardener (the A and B parts) has been refined over the years to meet the high demands of artists and craftsmen for crystal-clear finishes and faster cure times in countertop coatings, castings, and deep pours. This innovation hasn’t come only from large petrochemical companies—it’s also driven by professionals like Tim Phelps of iCoat Products, who works daily with these materials and strives to offer his clients the very best epoxy resin available.

iCoat epoxies are proudly made in the USA, where high-quality standards and low environmental impact are priorities. Many other companies import their epoxy from countries like China, where lower standards and environmental harm are common. This often results in lower-quality resin that doesn’t last as well over time.

Tim’s journey began in the U.S. Military, bringing a strong commitment to service that continues today in helping contractors and tradesmen deliver top-quality work. His dedication to excellence shines at the annual World of Concrete Show, where he is a recognized leader.

Known in the industry as “The Wizard,” Tim Phelps has spent 30 years perfecting his craftsmanship in epoxy and decorative concrete. Not content to just use existing products, he collaborated with a chemist to develop proprietary formulas that outperform the competition and deliver superior results. Combined with comprehensive systems and training for countertops, flooring, walls, and stamped concrete, working with Tim and iCoat feels nothing short of magical.

So when someone asks, “What’s so special about iCoat Epoxy Resin?” you can confidently say you’re choosing the highest-quality product—made with care in the USA—and not contributing to the environmental footprint of cheaper foreign brands.

Tim has also been featured on TV home improvement shows such as Flip This House, Extreme Home Makeover, and SpacesTV, as well as various online productions.

Tim is passionate about giving back and is always available to support both seasoned professionals and newcomers. You can reach him at 877-669-1110 or tim@icoatproducts.com.
