@barretthouchen623 thank you I was worried about air pockets or floating but had no problem with either. Thanks for watching.

@@DiF-y7i I bought then cleaned and just used them like that. Thank you for asking.

Wood species I used was black walnut and Elm for the coasters and Elm wood for the serving tray. Sorry about the delayed response.

On a router table cut the grove while the board is square then cut the curves. Hope that helps. Thanks for checking.

I have never had a problem with the boards warping from water popping. I just water pop with a wet sponge or rag not a submersion or real wet.

@@williamsparks5374 thank you for the response I will try that. I spray with a bottle cuz that’s what I’ve seen on TH-cam 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy New Year!!! I also water pop end grain boards.

I do also water pop the edge grain cutting boards. Sorry about the slow response I did not see your comment. Thanks for watching!!

@@williamsparks5374 very good. that's okay, I have started making charcuterie, cutting, and butcher boards. I have not sold any yet or finished one. This has been a very frustrating and aggravating experience. I have started on one board. It is osage orange from the crotch, and the wood is very beautiful. I have finished one side using lots of sandpaper and time and I treated it with Watco cutting board sealer. I used that because I have read that so many people who use mineral spirits-based treatments have to get their boards retreated after a year or so and with Watco, the treatment lasts several years between applications. The other side will be the cutting board side as that side has the best edge grain. You can see the grain of the wood from either end and while both sides are edge grain, the 2nd side has the best. I am a retired tool and die maker and I will be using my machine shop techniques and craftsmanship skills in this adventure.

I forgot to record the water popping.

I did not coat the backs of the coasters but would recommend it so the wood is more stable.

Hi sorry did not get right back to you I have been away. it is dry in 24 hours but not fully cured for 7 days. hope that helps thanks BJ

@@williamsparks5374 no problem thanks!

Thank you for watching!! I have not had a problem with it bonding. I do not water pop the grain, but you can. I like the higher sheen on the pieces.

Thank you for watching. 4' is about as wide as you can go without adding reinforcement to keep it flat. Thank you for the input.

Hi I am not real familiar with High temp Epoxy. I am not sure how the hot coffee cup will do with the Mono coat. I have never tested it. You might want to look into a ceramic finish for the final coat that is a hard finish. Hope that helps. Thanks

Hey I missed your message you can purchase the form at the below links. I have a few different models. Thank you for your interest and comment. B.J. www.etsy.com/shop/uniqueitemsBywiliam www.ebay.com/str/wspa2538

Yes the dividers in the form are adjustable.

Are you joking? 😂

@@2Much2lose he said adjustable so many times I have to question if it’s adjustable.

You use multiple coats of paste wax and the epoxy will not stick to the metal. You also need to seal up the adjustable sleeve with silicone so the epoxy does not go inside. Here is a video showing the release. th-cam.com/video/F8DTqWkIJcQ/w-d-xo.html

You can purchase the metal sleeves at either my e-bay store or etsy store. Here are the links below.
