Unfortunately, I think vp2050 is only available in gallons. Is there a reason you are not wanting to continue with the SL epoxy ?

Only a resin system that requires or uses a activator/catalyst/hardener ( crosslinks ) is a 2K product. A 2k product will generally have some amount of chemical and mechanical bond. Where a 1K product really only has a mechanical bond.

Lacquer paint is resin/thinner, no activator. 1k product.
Acrylic enamel, can be activated or not. Traditionally it was called a hardener. Drying times/durability of the product are much better. When a hardened is used.
