I wouldn't mix the two together, but you can put epoxy over cured PG.

TO: Spencer: I'm still wondering what would happen if you do put them together, wouldn't the PG help the epoxy harden, and the epoxy give the whole mix longer life, to apply? Write me asap. The guy who ask just might try that, and I wouldn't want anything to go wrong! Thank you!

I would call Permagloss and talk to them. You can add PG to and epoxy finish after the tack time or vise/versa.. I would not mix the 2 together one is a Urethane the other is a 2 part

I would say
Don't do it PG cures by moisture Epoxy by chemical reaction.

The epoxy could prevent moisture from getting to PG stopping it from curing, or the PG could change the chemical make-up of the epoxy enough the prevent it from curing

Good point Steve!! Not being a chemist I would think the 2 would separate and gel and never cure. It would be like mixing a oil paint and a Latex paint. Wont work and all you get is a sloppy mess
