I've watched quite a few videos on this topic and this is the best. Extra tip - put the resin and hardener bottles into warm water for a few minutes prior to mixing, this greatly reduces bubbles forming!
The best? 🤣 this guy messed every stage up, threw about 10ltr on as a flow coat... then sanded the entire thing back to the first coat🤣🤣🤣😂😂 then you gave totally bogus advice and introduced water into the equation, No!! don't put anything into water with epoxy. If you need to heat epoxy do so by dry means of heat and try to stabilise it so its done over a period of time. Its more important to match the surface you're pouring onto with the epoxy you are pouring on. What do I know though I'm only a 4 decade boat builder who's used probably 30'000-50'000 ton of epoxy over the years and built maybe 150-200 home projects including a 35ft long dining table from a split section of Scottish Oak that sold for £28k. This guy doesn't have a clue and should not have made this vid claiming he did. If his desired finish was wax "brushed" or satin look (ive no idea what exact look this is other than a complete F-up) then a simple feeding in of epoxy on the knots, gaps and greedy bits followed by two thin barrier coats, roughed back with 180 then waxed for whatever reason you'd put wax over epoxy😂 litteraly a 3hr Job. This vid is ridiculous and he's showing the basic stuff that even the entry level epoxy educational vids cover within the first 3 mins. Bogus vid and your praising of this vid is just as bogus.

My first epoxy pour ended with me gluing my rolling work bench to the floor. My second epoxy pour was filling the floor to patch the damaged plywood that resulted from freeing the work bench.

Hi guys, I like you and your videos. But am I the only one who finds the last two videos strange? Nothing new, just summaries and time-lapse, but no more current innovations? Come on people, what's wrong with you? If something has happened, just say it. If you need a break, everyone will understand that. However, I only wish you the best and that whatever is going on won't break you.
I dont mind that they did these last 2 recap / update videos. Im just glad they have been active, i was honestly worried. Im just glad they at least let us know they are still alive and doing well...i was starting to get worried , but i agree that a little update would be nice. just a little something to let us know whats going on....
This was super helpful, thank you! I'm new to epoxy too and am kind of nervous to use it on my projects. But I'm very glad I watched this before I started!
I always wondered how the epoxy holds up over time. It's really pretty when its new. Looks like you did this video 3 years ago, how is it looking today?
You could also use sanding sealer .spray it onto the your surface sealing the wood and you would have no problem with dry spots on your first coat of epoxy.
I am looking at doing a art piece resin pour with pigments on a piece of oak bench top I brought to be my new desk, I am not a new comer to resin pour, I have done several art projects and every one I have had to sand the underside because I used masking tape. As so many tutorials have recommended, yours is the first video I have seen that advises to you clear packing take and shows how much easier this makes life. THANK YOU! fyi its genius.
Talk about timing. After watching your videos about building the butcher block, I decided to do the same thing for my kitchen. It turned out awesome. I have not done the epoxy yet; will happen in a couple days. I'm glad you shared this video just in time for my project. Thank you so much.
Something is wrong . The last three are rehash of the kitchen build. Maybe it's just a experiment of how many video's can be made out of the same footage.
It seems to me that they might be doing it this way because they don't have anything going on right now. Most likely just living life, but they want to try to get something out to keep their TH-cam account going.
@@briankonicki6843 If they don't have anything going on, then they could simply say that in a snippet at the start of the video in a vlog style as they have done with a lot of videos. This is rehashed content that is clearly filler for something. Its poor content for the amount of time that's been between everything.
@@Zasaramel that could go against what their contract says with TH-cam. They may not want TH-cam to know they don't have anything new to post. They are after all still under a contract. They have to create content somehow. At least they have commenting open.
I’m preparing to put epoxy resin on a round dining table and three leaves that I’ve just built. Of all the videos on this topic, this one appears to be the best. I’m very worried about keeping the inside edges of the table and leaves clean and the use of packing tape looks to Ephesus a great solution. How long should I wait to remove it? Also, should I remove the tape after the seal coat and re-apply it for the flood coat or simply wait until both coats are on? I’m concerned that when I go to remove the tape it will break off instead of the epoxy.
We have a table we painted white, then sealed with clear epoxy. Question is, do we really need to sand before the flood coat? My concern is that the sanding marks will show through the topcoat because it is clear. Or, will another coat of clear cover the scratches from the sanding? I know I should have used white epoxy first.
The top looks great, no doubt about that. I didn't see if you epoxied the bottom side though, if not, wouldn't you be afraid of the wood expanding and contracting and eventually cracking the epoxy? I don't know, never worked with any of this before, so I'm just asking a question.
Your flood coat would have been easier if you put masking tape on the edge to create a barrier. This stops the epoxy from flowing over the edge, and you will not need to scavenge the material. Use your torch to pop bubbles and when your happy with the surface. You pull your tape and the epoxy will flow off the edge. Spread the overflow on the edge to get full coverage. The rest will take care of itself.
you all probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
[ YES YOU ARE BACK ] I missed your video of your journey from the old ford and caravan pulling up to all you have done come a long way and got to go a long way yet . [ THANK YOY FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY WITH AS ]
I'd recommend using a 1/4 inch notched trowel to spread out the epoxy instead of using a straight edged applicator. This will help ensure the epoxy thickness is similar everywhere and when you quickly repeat spreading the epoxy, you will also be mixing and re-mixing the epoxy while you are applying it.
Ohh he needs a lot more advice than that😂 dude sanded back his last 2 coats and a heafty barrier coat to basically the first coat.. then brushed it and threw wax on hahahahaha. Guy basically applied about 15ltr of epoxy then sanded it all off to get a finish that could be done within 3hr. Embarrassing
I've been with you since you salvaged the corrugated tin roof off of the old "barn" that would soon be torn down. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you.
You will find in the end that epoxy finishes are the worst error in finishing you will ever encounter. They do not wear well and any heat, even the heat from a hot bowl of soup placed on an epoxy top will soften and distort the finish. Epoxy is super expensive, time consuming to apply, messy and all show at the start with no go in the end. You can purchase a butcher block patterned top for next to nothing made of Formica which is nearly indestructible and will last for decades. In a year or two you will look back and say, "What was I thinking?"
using a drill mixer has always given me a fully mixed container - i always make sure to run the mixing attachment up and down and all around the sides and completely along the bottom a few times to be sure but it eliminates epoxy sticking the large surface area of a flat stirring stick. Downside is it introduces a lot more air into the mix which isn't a problem if you have a vacuum chamber or you are doing a deep pour and can let the mix sit for 45 minutes before pouring to allow all the air bubbles to come up to the surface - but definitely can't do this with a table deep (shallow pour) epoxy mix that only has 15-20 minutes of working time.
Slow stirring - also helps to prevent inclusion of air bubbles. I guess you could also optimize the pouring to prevent that. Interesting video, btw. Nicely done.
Exactly!!! Puts epoxy on table top, gets it completely finished and looking as it should.......... then BAM! We decided to sand it off with a fine grit sandpaper Lolol like why even go through the trouble.
This is SUPER helpful as I am going to do my first epoxy project! Can you tell me how many coats you did? My project is just for a charcuterie board, lol but still wanna do it right! 👍🏼
Can I use a spray laquer on the wood as a base coat? My problem is I only have enough epoxy for 4 square feet and I'm way to far in the bush to go get more.
My advice would be to use respirator with ABEK1 filters, when working with epoxy. There are different opinions about safety, many youtubers dont use any protective devices. But i have some experience with aircraft maintenance/repair companies, where people are working with composites (epoxy, carbon fiber), and there usually are strict rules always to use respirators, even for quick tasks with resins. Epoxy resin, at hardening stage, spread harmful vapour, which can lead to cancer.
Welcome back. Nice to see you are back posting videos. I have used epoxy in the marine and aviation settings, counter tops would be new for me. But I did do a water proof desktop. I put a 6 oz. fiberglass cloth down to get at least a 15 mil film thickness. Then built up from there for a nice sheen. A heatgun works very well to get rid of the bubbles, all you are doing is heating the surface to make it more viscous so the surface tension is reduced therefore causing the bubbles to pop. Another trick is put the mixed epoxy in a vacuum chamber and draw a vacuum therefore removing the bubbles from the epoxy. Paint pots make good vacuum chambers for doing this.
Question: I get wanting to salvage expensive overflow epoxy, but aren't you reintroducing some contaminants that may have run off with it on its first pass? Wood particles, dust, hair strand, etc...
Oh look old footage again! I understand you guys may need a break for whatever reason...but don't you think you owe the viewers an explanation of why you have been MIA for so long!?

I've never seen epoxy mixed by hand, only with a drill and paddle. I can't imagine mixing enough epoxy to do a counter mixing with a paint stick. I usually chop the surface with a brush before torching.
Your flood code is the same thing a baker with you or someone who’s making candy when you’re putting the final coat of chocolate or buttercream or whatever they’re putting over the final project
I absolutely love the idea of doing all this work yourself. Do you need building permits or foresee any problem selling the property if that ever happens? I’m a new homeowner and new to this kinda stuff.
I'd assume you may need permits but there are some areas that don't require pulling permits, especially in the country areas. I could be wrong but my dad said they never pulled permits in the boonies. In cities for sure, you have to pull a permit to redo a bathroom or sometimes to even dismantle a deck. Some of it is a money grab but most of it's for safety reasons. I've been on jobs with my dad that homeowners have done and clearly just winged it, some very sketchy, not up to code stuff.

Great to see a video. Wanting to see more. Missing the build of pure living for life. Hope this is the start of the videos. Don't wait so long.
How much are you mixing at a time to pour the whole top?
Tip 10; wear gloves. And long sleeves. And ventilate your space. You are working with chemicals, treat them with respect
I used a heat gun on epoxy and it worked fine on low setting.
Many many thanks. Subscribed.
