Epoxy Surface Coat
A white, thickened epoxy material used to create the durable surface coat on room temperature epoxy molds. This surface coat can be brushed on as thick as 1/8" at a time without developing runs or sags. It is specially formulated to provide strong interlaminar bonds with the reinforcing materials, even if it is left unsupported overnight. #1099 resists chipping and cracking, and retains its high gloss.

Or you can make your own.
We use West System epoxy and add coloidal silica to increase the thickness, plus some pigment paste to achieve the required color.
Works very well indeed and the benefit is that you can vary the thickness, color and opacity to suit your own requirements. You can also make up only as much as you need at the time.
