Help to epoxy rock tile bathroom floor

Any advice on how to pour resin onto this rock bathroom floor? And what kind and how much to use. It's 70" x 59"...

fyi- I was hired to tile this floor, and I told them not to use these, but that's what they wanted so that's what I did... A year later, they want me to pour epoxy resin onto it to level it and seal it. They have a talent for flooding their floors and keeping it wet... because the grout is getting stained and it hurts their feet... please help. I'm handy and capable. Just out of my realm here a bit.

Help with epoxy resin rock tiled bathroom floor

Was hired to retile a client's bathroom floor. I told them not to but they chose rocks. The ones that come already on the mesh. I did it. Took forever. Grout and all. They have a talent for getting their floor really wet and not cleaning it up... anyhow, they now want me to pour epoxy resin on it. Bathroom is 70" x 59". I am wondering what is the best type of resin to use, and how much yall would think I may need? And even the process would help. I would post a Pic but I'm not allowed here. Tops maybe ⅛" of rock sticking out. They are, of course, at different heights. Client jumped the gun and has already purchased fast acting geekart resin from temu- 40 min acting time- mainly used for art and molds... I have past experience of pouring resin onto a table that I had arranged beer bottle caps onto to make a checker board... that was 15 years ago. Any help would be appreciated! I will state again... I expressed how bad of an idea this tile was and epoxy just sounds like an even worse idea. If there's a way, let me know please.

Not sure if here is the place to ask... I do a lot of work for these folks. One day I am asked if I can remove "sticky stuff" from a door. Of course easy peasy... and then I saw the door... She was trying to sound proof her door/room and used a cheapo temu stick on roll of thin crap foam stuff. Note: she put her soundproofing on the wrong side of the door too. This, after I explained to her how to properly sound proof a room... this, is what she went with...

I have tried the usual, solvents or the like and scraping- it will take an unreal amount of time this way. The most effective method has been a heat gun and a palette knife. Much faster but it will still take a long time. I really don't want to sand and refinish the door... anyone have any suggestions? And if sanding it down is it, if someone could maybe elaborate on how I can do this with minimal damage? (FYI I know how to sand carefully, but any extra advice is so welcome.) I'm starting to lean towards buying a new door. Honestly, new door was my first thought upon seeing it...

I have tried: Rubbing alcohol Lemon juice Vegetable oil Baking soda/white vinegar Mineral spirits WD40 Goo Gone- (as well as a similar but much stronger product I don't recall the name of leftover from a picture frame shop I used to work at) Lighter fluid Acetone Heat gun/hair dryer Scraping in general Magic eraser Scotch Brite pads... I think that's everything so far...

You can see the goo gone and scotch Brite pad in the pic 😊

Heat gun, palette knife combo worked great but will still take a long time. And the scotch Brite also worked very well, better than the magic eraser.

Also, I'm in the testing stage. Testing different methods on small areas. No real labor has gone into it yet, just nothing is making it easy enough where I'm like, ok I can do this in a reasonable time...
