If you want to brew your own you can get epoxy and all the trimmings from
www.raka.com . They have the best prices on epoxy I know of and Larry
Steves (owner) is good about answering questions.

Epoxy is one of the best self levelling coatings you can get. You can color
it, add graphite to make bearings, aggregate to make poly concrete or
phenolic microballoons to make easily machined castings. Shrinkage is
practically nil if you get 100% solids formulations. Baking raises the heat
deflection temperature and various other properties.

Epoxy isn't cheap - about $40/gal in small quantities. However, you will
find a bazillion uses for it as you start reading up. I just bought 12
gallons plus fixins'. Its more useful than WD40!
