I've watched a lot of these boards lately but have to say this is bare minimum top 3 I've ever seen ever! Maybe even number one! Wow truly inspirational! Beautiful work!
Looks amazing! I'm doing my first river table, a small coffee table. I want to finish it with a flood coat so my kids don't ruin the wood. I had originally planned on a chamfered edge but I'm thinking I need to go with a rounded edge based on the video here.
Fabulous piece!! I love all the different colors... would love to have a paper template for that charcuterie board... cool shape...reminds me of antlers
The stir stick itself controversialy if wood, causes bubbles, so they say, so silicone stir stick/spatula. Closer to 8 ounces is when they say/recommend a drill to eliminate unmixed resin. Hope to try mica powders someday, awesome project.
That actually makes a ton of sense. If you drilled carefully, thr bubbles just can't come from nowhere They'd have to be introduced by folding essentially, but for a large batch, using a large wood stir stick, depending on thr epoxy viscosity, I could see a ton of bubbles coming out
It doesn't. Any finish you put on the epoxy is being applied to the epoxy, not the wood unless the wood is exposed. I don't know how I feel about flood coats. I think I prefer the surface having both wood and epoxy
nice videos here in this channel ,i finish a table top with a flooding epoxy finish and 3 days after its cupping down ,table looks perfect and now dont know what to do because is finish ,i cant flatten it again because is 1.5 inches .is cupping the opposite way that boards does ,i let it to cure over some acrylic cubes on the underside ,can i fix it ? what can i do ,? turn the board over and put some wet towels and clamp it down or what? im very upset i have been working on this table for weeks .
In this thickness, if we get micro bubble air pocket , because usually because of dirt silicone i need to sand it off with 220 or 320 , so in that case the micro air pockets gets filled by resin/ sand dust .. Can we cut those off on this thicker layer
Do you use walrus oil on a table top that is totally sealed with with epoxy or would that be a waste since the epoxy wouldn’t absorb it - I have been using walrus furniture finish on wood pieces and love it. Have a epoxy writer desk from blue stained pine wondering about a cost of walrus when flood coat is set up thanks
Beautiful job- one question and perhaps I’m missing something- you mentioned 1 oz/SF for the seal coat and used 28 oz. The workpiece doesn’t look like it’s close to 28 SF. Is there some measurement or calculation that I missed?

Thank you very much, Paul!
Nicely done piece
Thank you! Cheers!
So is the flood coat only on one side and then mineral oil on the other?
The stir stick itself controversialy if wood, causes bubbles, so they say, so silicone stir stick/spatula. Closer to 8 ounces is when they say/recommend a drill to eliminate unmixed resin.

Hey there 👋.
Wondering what grit you sand the table with before your initial seal coat. Excellent video btw! Thanks.
Man!! Sweet!!
Thanks!
I realize this video was 2 years ago, but a question- could you use sanding sealer first as a sealant for a first coat? Thanks I like the tutorial👍
Thanks for watching! While sanding sealer can be used under some finishes, it is not specifically designed for use under epoxy resin.
great info I was wondering why you did not sand the sides. Was It not necessary?
Do we need to sand off those drips at the bottom with 80 grit first?
Put painters tape around the bottom so you can just pull them off
How does the oil get to the wood if you have poured a couple of flood coats?
It doesn't. Any finish you put on the epoxy is being applied to the epoxy, not the wood unless the wood is exposed.
I don't know how I feel about flood coats. I think I prefer the surface having both wood and epoxy
No PPE? Should have glasses and an n100 mask, unless I’m missing something?
Before pouring your seal coat, how did you prep the board? Sand to 320 grit? Did you wipe off sand dust with water?
How do you prevent the underside edges from getting drip marks that stick. That’s my problem.
nice videos here in this channel ,i finish a table top with a flooding epoxy finish and 3 days after its cupping down ,table looks perfect and now dont know what to do because is finish ,i cant flatten it again because is 1.5 inches .is cupping the opposite way that boards does ,i let it to cure over some acrylic cubes on the underside ,can i fix it ? what can i do ,? turn the board over and put some wet towels and clamp it down or what? im very upset i have been working on this table for weeks .
So you sealed fron side with epoxy and back side with oil. And that wont be a problem cause both sides are not sealed same?
How did you add the flame effect
Was it cut out after the pour
In this thickness, if we get micro bubble air pocket , because usually because of dirt silicone i need to sand it off with 220 or 320 , so in that case the micro air pockets gets filled by resin/ sand dust ..
Can we cut those off on this thicker layer
I use Upstart and regardless, I always end up with a few bubbles in the flood coat. How can I finish those without pouring another flood coat?
Good video! Did you sand the edges of the board before the seal coat?

If the table is already sealed, there is no need to apply walrus oil. It won't absorb through the epoxy since it creates a seal.
What kind of oil is he saying at the end?
Walrus
We're you located can or if u have any wood for a vert special apoxy coffee n river tables 😊😊😊
How do you deal with the bottom that has all the drips from the seal coats?
I run painters tape around the bottom edges that way when it’s done you just pull them right off
Hi Steve, before the top coat do I sand ? And after? Won’t it scratch it?
No
Beautiful job- one question and perhaps I’m missing something- you mentioned 1 oz/SF for the seal coat and used 28 oz. The workpiece doesn’t look like it’s close to 28 SF. Is there some measurement or calculation that I missed?
Recycle resin? Are you talking about catching it in a mold under your project?
should hardener not be put in and then resin?
100% doesn’t matter at all. I’ve been doing it for years and don’t even pay attention to which one I grab
If you redo before it is completely cured…. Let’s say, 12 hours do you still need to sand?
