Nice job, they look great
Hey this was really good, thank you so much!
I LOOOOOVVVVEE that blue river look!!! So beautiful!!
Thank you 😊
I have watched about 8 videos on how to make coasters with resin, you are the first that applied a backing. Thanks for the great instructions and the detail.
Great job. You inspired me to try it.
Great video!! Thanks.
This is a fantastic video - you explained the process so well. Thankyou for sharing.
Thank You 😊
Love this! I've been watching a lot of resin project videos and figured I'd start small with coasters. Your video kept it simple with a great step by step how to! I feel a bit more comfortable starting my project now! I was going to pre-cut and pour individually, glad I watched
Thank you and good luck on your project 😊
Wow, they are beautiful!!!
Thank you 😊
Beautiful work!
Danielle Dodd Thank you! I’m glad you like it
Tiffany, great video. I can’t wait to try making my own coasters! I really love seeing a woman in this field! Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
great result! Coasters are so fun to make! Never done it like this, but resin/wood coaster are my favorites to make😊
Thank you! 😀
You explain so clearly thanks
Kai Veprek Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

Brilliant tutorial really well done. I'm going to try this myself. Thank you. ♥️☘️
Awesome thanks!
amazing!
Thank you
Thought I throw you a comment, Very nice will done. Nicely explained for everyone can follow.
Thank you so much! 😊
Very, very nice!💗
Thank you 😊
I really like your large-scale approach! Most tutorials I've seen are in individual silicone molds. The construction tools I already have appreciate this approach
Thank you ☺️
I totally agree 🥰 I really love this video.
Great video and tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Consider using a stop block on the mitre saw to have the exactly equal lengths. It's far more precise than measuring each piece separately and also much quicker.
Thanks for the tip that’s definitely helpful!!
Oh my days I'm so happy you popped up in my search because I really love this tutorial. You not only explain things well, you do things well. I'm definitely subscribing & I can't wait to watch more from you. Awesome work!!!! Oh & Kia Ora from Aotearoa (New Zealand) 💞
Oh thank you 🥰
Impressive!
Thank you 😊
Awesome thanks
No problem!
Thank you !!
You’re welcome 🙂
Amazing tutorial, beautiful finished product. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
good video, and instructional. what did you use on the casting box to keep the resin from sticking, you did not mention it or list it? Craig
Hello Craig and thanks! On the casting box I used silicone spray. The casting box is covered with tuck tape. I went ahead and added both of these on the list with links on the description now. Thank you for letting me know.
Nice video. You can also set your jigsaw blade at an angle so the edges have a bit of a bevel along the edge like a live edge would have.
Thanks for the tip!!
Very nice
Thank you
Very nicely done! When you stained the wood did you just keep the stain off of the resin or does the stain not adhere to the resin? I would have thought it would have made the resin cloudy where it touched. Thank you?
I tried to keep it off the resin and wiped off what touch the resin right away
Invest in a good random orbital sander. It usually doesn’t leave sanding marks like other palm sanders. Board looks good though.
Thanks for the tip ☺️
Great job! Your video was well made and easy to understand. As someone who has never worked with epoxy before, I have 2 questions. 1, when you remove the project from the mold, which side of the project is the finished side? Are you using the side that was in contact with the bottom of the mold s as the finished side? 2, will the stain that you used on the wood wipe off the epoxy easily? How do you make sure the epoxy doesn’t get stained?
Hello, and sorry for the late reply.
1.When I remove the project from the mold the top is the finished side.
2.The stain wipes off easily as long as you wipe it right away. I just try to wipe off the stain as carefully as possible.
I hope that helps let me know if you have any other questions :)
Have you considered taping over your engagement ring to avoid any damage or accidents? Just a thought.
Funny you mention that, I have fully painted over it on accident lol. But yes that’s a good idea.
Just a quick observation: When using a Dremmel, be aware that it can burn the resin because of the high RPM it turns at. Just be careful when getting close to the part you want to keep.
Thanks for the tip I didn’t realize that
Looks great, thanks for taking us step by step. Did you let the first layer cure totally before pouring the second, or was it still tacky?
I normally let it cure for 24 hours, it’s good to touch after 24 hours. Some resins will tell you in the instructions that you can do a second layer within just a few hours.
These aren't very thick and I think I would have poured them all in one go and if they were thicker like 3/4" or 1 3/4" I'd switch to a deep pour epoxy just because I speeds up the process but the general rule for building layers is let it set till it's tacky and you can still poke it with you finger and it will leave an indent and then pour your next layer. Or let it cure rock solid them scuff it with and sandpaper and wipe it off with a rack cloth. I almost always go with the first option unless it's a tabletop but either way it's important to do to insure the epoxy bonds to it's self.
Where did you get the red frame? Or how did u make it? TY VERY HELPFUL VIDEO
Thanks! I made the frame out of melamine boards and covered it with Tuck Tape.
I agree with all the nice comments you are getting. Can you start to sand the resin too soon? How can you tell that it's cured enough?
Thanks! Depends on the resin, I recommend following the instructions on the specific resin you’re using. I believe this one is 3 days before you can sand.
hello great video, 1 question what material is that RED cover that you use in your mod??? Thanks
Thank you! I used a tape called Tuck Tape . I got it off Amazon
@@diytiff Thanks for your Reply, great video.
Hi, I noticed that you didnt seal the cut edges first before using the blue resin. Other videos suggest that sealing is important, could you give your opinion based on experience? Also, I assume the blow torch is used to simply warm the surface to release any bubbles? Thanks
Yes sealing the edges is a good idea because it will prevent bubbles, and yes the blow torch is to get rid of the bubbles.
You should use a stop block and you will have a same and consistent
Thanks for the tip I will consider doing that next time
I put painters tape at cut line just for added security against chipper and tear out
Good idea 👍🏻
❤️❤️
Very nice coasters! I made some myself too on my channel! You got yourself a new sub👍🏻
Thank you! You got pretty cool stuff on your channel I’ll check out later 😊

Kind of new to this.. What is the red colored film you're using on inside of frame?
It’s called Tuck tape. Is a construction sheathing tape and epoxy resin won’t stick it. I believe other brands will work too but this one has always worked for me. I have the Amazon link in the description if you’re interested in ordering it.
@@diytiff Thank you for your help
Do you have to wait for the first layer to cure all the way before putting the 2nd layer?
Rob I it depends on the resin, the one I use I believe I can do a second layer after 6 hours but if I miss that timeframe I have to wait until it fully cures. Most times I leave it drying over night so I end up waiting at least 24 hours before a second pour.
Thank you for your reply!
Hello mam
That's so pretty
But one thing I want to know that it was sticky or not after put the hot cup
Plze mam reply me
Hello sorry for the late reply. I use a heat resistant epoxy so I’m able to use hot cups on it and it doesn’t get sticky.
Thank you mam for your reply
Will you please share the link that epoxy which is available in flipkart or amazon
bhawna589 This is the one I use and this is for the 1 gallon kit: Stone Coat Countertops Epoxy (1 Gallon) Kit www.amazon.com/dp/B07MBH96DB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XscnFb4KZTA6Y
bhawna589 This is the 1/2 gallon kit if you want to buy a smaller size: Stone Coat Countertops Epoxy (1/2 Gallon) Kit www.amazon.com/dp/B07ML5LWLX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7scnFbKQ0KBEC
Thank you so much
What wood are you using?
I’m using pine wood
Can you use a heat gun instead of a torch?
Yes you can
Make you make a vedio how you made the frame
Kai Veprek Yes, I’ll make one soon when I make my next frame
Nice to see a woman doing great work in a male dominated profession!
Thank you ❤️
Did u use table too epoxy
I’m not sure if I understand the question. I made a non stick mold (the red tray) to pour the resin.
Sorry ok my fault I went back to look ! Thank I sorry duh
Why not stain the wood prior to joining the resin?
Because I have to sand afterwards
Instead of using the dremel to remove the excess resin, I would just start with 80 grit and work up from there. 80 will take that crap off in no time
I’ll give it a try next time. It’s always taken me a while to sand epoxy down when it that thick. Thanks for the tip
Do you sell any projects?
monique wright I do. Most of my work sells locally since a lot of times I post my work in progress on social media, but I have an Etsy store where I list my finished projects if they are not sold locally.
I will definitely be checking it out! Thank you for the quick response!
cool project but you should do some research on how to shop for wood before giving advice on what wood to use because it "warps" I have seen specific videos that teach you how to shop for wood and they will teach you what to look for in the end grain of wood to know whether it is going to warp or not.
Thanks for the tip. I had mentioned the warping on this video because I noticed it after the project was done unfortunately. But each project is a learning experience :)
I bet the reason it leaked over is because your floor isn't level. The table is only as level as the floor it's sitting on. I've had this problem before! LoL
True! Lesson learned though
Len by ma zaujímalo či sa s tým nič nestane keď dám na to horúci hrniec. Treba vyskúšať.
I wouldn’t do a hot pot it think is too hot, but a coffee cup would hold up
