when adding the pigment, does the finished resin differ from the unset colour? i.e as your mixing the colour is that pretty much how the finish will be or does it darken / lighten lose translucency?
you could have used a smaller drill bit first and then use the larger drill bit. You should have used a saw horse under the spider to it will not fold in on it's self from the weight. turned out very nice.
I have some questions because im about to build my own Desk: How thick was the wood How long was it And where did you bought it or did you make it by yourself Last of all where can i buy the fluid to make it like shine?
This epoxy is called Liquid Glass. But I can also recommend Total Boat Epoxy. Both work well for me. There are epoxy calculators on the web like (www.totalboat.com/epoxy-calculator/) that you can use. Generally, if you do a flood coat (which is what i did in this video) you will need about a 1/4 inch thick layer of epoxy. So for example, a 6ft x 2ft table with a 1/4 inch thick layer of epoxy will require 1.86 gallons of epoxy. And if you mess up like I did, double that :P
Since it's been a little while it's going to be hard for me to find the exact materials I used, but was there anything specific that you were looking for? I am sure I can guide you in the right direction.
The led light strips i bought for the table came with an adhesive on the other side of the lights. So that was easy. For the lights in the spider I experimented a while, but at the end I just used duct tape to tape the led light strip to the table with the light side facing the spider. It's not pretty, but you can't see it unless you crawl on the floor :)
@@DirtyMikeTM oh gotcha. Yes I personally wouldn’t put them inside. Granted it’s definitely cleaner than having to glue them on the underside, however accessing them in the future is a major pain. I saw a video of someone who screwed up and after the epoxy dried he had to carve out the LEDs again and start over. Took him forever.
Butcher blocks are PERFECT for gaming desktops.
Sick🔥🔥
Use washers with the screws or wide pan heads to avoid cracking the acrylic sheet

with the blistering, could you not just sand out the affected area and repour just that area?
That is sick brother!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!
i would suggest using a light dusting of spray paint over the stencil, faster, accurate and less chance of s=disturbing the stencil
i would also strongly reccomend either fixing or at least resting on bearers that ran the length of the wood o stop flexing

Love the desk!
What epoxy resin is this, and how do you work out the amount needed? 😃

Could u put all the materials in the description

How did you attach the LEDS to the table and in the spider?

Why would anyone use LED's in epoxy? When they will only last 7-14 years till somehow you dig out the dead LED's and put new ones in.
The LEDs are not in the epoxy
@@GameChanel93 I know I was referring to the hundreds of other videos I have watched
