- Hi, we hope you enjoy our video of Making a Penny Table Top with Resin!
For this video we used the Polyester TruPro Water Clear Casting Resin available from
www.fibreglassdirect.co.uk/po...
In case you missed any of the steps outlined in the video, we've written them all down.
Step 1. Tape on plastic edge leaving approx. 5mm above the glass
Step 2. Check that your table top is level
Step 3. Leave a 2mm gap between the outer layer of coins and the edge of the table
Step 4. Continue to stick coins to the table top using a small amount of super glue on each
Step 5. Weight out 1/2kg of TruPro clear casting resin, adding catalyst at a rate of 1% and mix thoroughly to avoid bubbles forming
Step 6. Brush on the resin covering all coins and voids in between and brush out any air bubbles. Leave to cure for approx. 2 hours.
Step 7. Mix another batch of resin again adding catalyst at 1% and pour over table top until it has filled level with the top edge. (Pouring the resin from a height also helps with air bubbles)
Step 8. Leave to cure for 24 hours
Step 9. Starting with 180 grit sandpaper start sanding the surface (a small amount of water will help to keep the sandpaper dust free)
Step 10. Continue sanding moving to smoother grades of sandpaper (240, 600, 1000) as you go until you reach a very smooth surface, without any scratched
Step 11. Wash the surface with a damp cloth. Dab on a small amount of Farecela Profile 300 rapid. Using a compounder dampen the mop and proceed to compound
Step 12. Moving on to Farecla 500 pre finish glaze and using a compounding pad on the mop, polish until you have reached the perfect finish
Step 13. Relax and enjoy your work of art :)

I love the way you did that you didn't speed it up and went step by step most video speed it up put in shitty music and never tell you how to do it good job !
Love this.
Beautiful bravo
Just imagine A Silver Eagle Coin One - I'm Fixin to do it !
At what point do you remove the plastic mold and does the epoxy stick to it?
Can you please tell me approximately how many coins were used and how wide is the ‘table top’? I have a whisky jar of change but I don’t want to start the project until I know I can finish it, thanks
If i have some dips that would not be suitable to sand out what sort of finish do i need to get to so that i can put another coat of resin over the top? Will scratches etc notice or would the resin fill them?
magnifique
Thanks for watching!
You're welcom beautiful videos 😊😇
That looks great and I plan on doing the same kind of penny table top. I dont have a way to create a ledge to keep the resin from dripping over the sides. I saw u used a strip of plastic or something but how did u stop that from sticking to the resin? What was that plastic strip made of? I'm really stuck because I dont want to stand there for hours wiping drips as they form. Any advice? Thanks. :)
Lovely! I do wish you would explain what the plastic edge is made from, and, how is it attached so that it doesn't drip through? Thanks.
Looks to be a strip of flexible plastic or mylar simply taped together.
i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new movies online?
@Colton Ismael lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Muhammad Brock Yup, have been watching on FlixZone for years myself :)
@Muhammad Brock thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it!
Sir.i am from India , which tape you USED? Normal cello plastic tape or any other ?
I love how your table turned out. Where can I get that plastic ring that you put around the table?
Hi, this was something we made in-house!
@@FibreGlassDirect what type of plastic sheet do you use in epoxy molds, please? Plus, do you use mold release spray? Thanks.
I recently bought some Polyester Resin however I'm concerned with how strong it smells! Does the resin lose it's strong smell once cured?
Hi Chris, yes it will. Polyester Resin does smell - it's definitely best to store and work with it in a well-ventilated area (don't forget your PPE!). The good news is the smell will go once cured. Thanks for watching!
@@FibreGlassDirect
Yes it is true.
The smell will go once cured.
Where do u get the plastic to put down
Why did you sand and polish the epoxy finish? Was it gritty or bumpy? An epoxy finish is smooth as glass, so don't understand the extra steps. Thanks.
Hi Mary S, thank you for your comment. We actually used a Clear Polyester Resin for this project. During the curing process the styrene evaporates from the resin. This caused a ripple effect on the surface of the resin so we sanded it down to remove the ripples. Thanks for watching!
Interesting! Good to know. I'm looking to begin doing things like this.
Now what is the difference between the resin and epoxy? And what was your reasoning for using the polyester resin, simply preference?
Hi! We chose this really because we sell a lot of different types of polyester resin including the one shown in the video specifically for Clear Casting. We receive a lot of questions from customers on creating pieces similar to penny tables. Thanks for watching :)
I used to do auto body and paint they call this color sanding . We do that to take out all the imperfections to give it that deep gloss in the paint Even with epoxy if you want the very deep texture you can still go ahead and wet sand it like they did here and it glosses even deeper . They did a great job
Thanks Roger, glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi can you tell me if its safe to use clear cast polyester resin as a table top
We used polyester resin in this case for our table top. It is not food safe though - so something to keep in mind.
What exactly do you mean by tape on plastic edge? What is a plastic edge
Someone told me I was living with money
I didn't *expen-sive* this
I know it makes no *cent-s* but I think u get the joke here
😂
How many pennies did this take?
I thought it's supposed to dry clear and flat? There should be no need to sand. All the other videos I've seen it's been pretty straight forward. Pour the epoxy, get rid of any bubbles, let dry, done.

Is there a reason you used that rather than epoxy? Wouldn't it have been easier that way? Just curious.
We simply stock a lot of Polyester Resins. We made this video in response to a lot of queries from our customers who were looking to undertake similar projects. That was really why :)
using what you sell makes sense,, giving people options other than epoxy.. now I will research the difference in price, stabillity and ease of use,, thank you

"Tape on plastic edge..." It's just plastic? Did you cut it yourself? Can it be bought? What is it exactly? Details, my friend, the devil is in the detail.
Unless you want bristles from your brush to end up in your resin, DO NOT use a cheap craft brush as shown.
x if yReally enjoy it. Let's check woodprix plans also.
