Thanks for watching!
Excellent table, and great directions, exactly what I was searching for. You explained more in detail in 5 posted steps than many do in a 20 minute video. Thanks for that
Great vid. To the point, concise and clear. Thanks
Thank you for the instructions!
Thank you, great video!
Beautiful table and useful tip thanks I struggle with hybrid wood and resin with small pieces that I can get my ROS on just the resin
so clean
that would make a sweet door . love it doing my own.
This is exactly what I’m doing tonight.
Hey there
One question, what commpresor should i use so it has the force to cleand the sandpaper?
Thanks
Hi there from Nepal. I have been involved in resin projects and particularly with the sanding, I used the sand paper till 2000 grit which is the last grit available in our market. However, I am not able to find the polishing machine for fine finishing in the hardware shop. I have been planning to buy the angle polisher used in polishing car, can I use it for polishing the resin top ?
On a car what can you sand dried epoxy primer with I painted over the epoxy sealer primer and it's hard to get back to a flat finish. I started to paint my truck with a roller and didn't like it but sanding it some after because I put some paint after applying the epoxy but didn't like the finish so was sanding my truck down with as low as 80 grit. Still it is hard to sand down to a flat surface now because the paint coats are over the top of it
Hey, this is an awesome table. One question though...if sanding resin to a very high grit, what do you do where the wood is concerned? It's not supposed to be sanded to as high a grit as the resin, yet in some cases would be very difficult not to sand. This difference in sanding will certainly show up as soon as oil is applied. Or, do you just sand the whole thing to whatever grit you're using on the resin? HELP!!!
What did you do your whipe down with ?
After sanding , what are you wiping on the table to clear up the color ?
Hey! I love this table! I also love the tips. Wondering if you know what to do when there is holes like chips from flattening with a router and jig. Also do you think the Bosch GET75 is a good sander. I feel like the Festool is very expensive for me and I see a lot of people saying the Bosch is similar. Thank you so much!
Hi Max, thanks so much for the kind words. I know exactly the holes you are referring to after planing the resin with a router. This happened to me quite a few times from a dull router bit or trying to remove too much material at once. I remove the debris with an air compressor and fill the holes with clear resin before sanding.
Bosch makes great tools and the GET75 will work just as well as Festool. I use festool bc I opted for a mobile workshop. I chose to get rid of all my stationary tools except for my bandsaw and go all festool bc of the cohesive system and portability. Plus, I am German and love German tools. ;)
Is that a rotating sander or just oscillating? Thanks
Do these grits apply to clear epoxy too w no pigment?
My epoxy gets sticky when warm . Is it a bad batch . It was 1:1 an d measured correctly
Question , how did you keep the resin from getting on and staining the wood surfaces surrounding the river?
It’s cured it won’t come up if fully cured
Great video friend and thank you for it. However you said for glass look use 1200 grit or above. I have seen people use all the way up to 7000 grit. How high would you go with the grit? Which would be your finish grit if you wanted the clearest look possible and you were making jewelry? Thanks!!
From what I've seen, if you want a glossy look, you're gonna want to add polish when you're around the 4k grit or higher.
Any tips for if you already got swirls/pigtails from the first pass of sanding? Would I be able to get rid of them?
usually oil or resin will get them away
I often get pockmarks/divots when I start sanding the cured resin. What am I doing wrong?
Two things:
1) if you clean with water and a rag priot to finishing, you will raise the grain of the wood again. Did you water pop the grain to minimize the raising?
2) you say to sand upwards of 220 and up to several hundred or a thousand depending on the finish sheen. But rubio monocoat explicitly recommends to sand NO HIGHER than 180 grit due to the hardwax not being able to penetrate the pores nearly as well. This has always been my gripe with RMC. How are you able to sand so high? I would imagine this would look spotty over time due to the RMC not adhering completely
Water pop will raise grain in lower grits but not much at higher grits. And the sanding recommendation was for the epoxy only, not the rest of the table.
What solvent did you use to wipe it down at the end
Water and a rag to remove the dust before applying the finish.
Hey, greetings from Germany, thank you for the great content! I successfully built a small river table, but now I am working on a dining table and Im having a problem. Yesterday I flattened the bottom side of the table and this morning I woke up to see the bord has bended big time- 5mm in the middle. Please help me solve this problem.
Hard to say without seeing a picture, but it's probably because the wood was not completely dry.
Btw, I am German. Both of my parents are German.
Do you speak german as well ?
Wie hast du das denn gelagert ?
Have a few air bubbles on the surface of my table. Will lightly sanding the top take these out?
Hi Linda, it depends on how deep the air bubbles are in the epoxy. I would try to sand with 220 grit and see if that works.
What was the final sanding grit for this project?
320 grit
The words on the screen were too small and faded too quickly.
It was nice video, but frustrating to have to rewind every tip when they could have been left up until the next one
Are you going to say anything or is it just spray your sander and that’s the video? So if I wanted to see a video about how to spray an orbital sander this is it
Epoxy resin dust is carcinogenic. Why aren't you using a dust collection bag?
He’s using vacuum attachment.. don’t you hear it running?.. much better than bag..
