This video is a good argument for the metric system.
Was it that hard for you to understand?
yeah, pretty funny watching him use imperial 1/16 multiplied by decimal numbers then the complication of cubic inches to ounces to gallons 😜
Really good video. One minor (lighthearted) point……use millimetres/litres and save loads of time on calculations and conversions 😀
Ha I completely agree then you don't need a browser just a calculator !!
Inches can be calculated in decimals instead of fractions. It’s pretty simple.
One square ounce per cubic millifoot for every inch of square centimeter
@@JerzyBoy973 nothing about the imperial system is simple.
@@JerzyBoy973Cool. It's almost like there are multiple ways to calculate things.
Just did my first table I built for a Kitchen nook, first time doing anything like this and man the first 2 coats came out good the 3rd messed up for some reason so I sanded it down lightly with 220 grit, pour the last or 4th coat and it came out super clean looks great worth every penny I spent to do it. The hardest part was making sure I had everything I needed the having everything ready to use. Make sure you have really good lighting so you can see any imperfection so you can smooth them out. And walk around it looking from all sides or you might miss something. Have you heat gun plugged in and ready to pick up on the fly because time goes by fast then you think when you are trying to smooth it out then brushing the sides and then taking your heat gun to blow on it to get those tiny little bubles out. Funny thing was I didn't even see the buble till I put the heat on it. But the bubles come up and pop just as sweet as you please. Very good product. I only poured about 1/4 inch at a time so a thin coat and it worked great. Mine ended up being about 1 inch thick total. Wish I could post a photo because mine came out awesome and this was my first time doing this.
Glad your project went well! Thanks for watching
It's nice that you didn't need to do the "flood coat", but now none of us know how to do it.
I've done this before and my table came out great but because my memory is like a sieve, I thank you for your video as a good reminder. brilliant work and thanks. Rob
Thank you so much for the kind words, Rob! Glad to be of help!🥰
Thank you for a thorough complete video. I’ve watched dozens and this is the ONLY ONE that is thorough and easy to understand and follow. Your video has given the confidence that I truly can do it on my own. The table I’m covering is the precise same as yours. I will upload my video when I start. The only difference is that I want to paint my table white with gold streaks somehow prior to pouring the epoxy
You're very welcome! Please share your project when it's finished!
Looks like glass that’s what I want I’m doing a console table smaller.. beautiful 🤩 ❤❤❤ I’ll be ordering and it self leveling 👍🏾
Excellent coverage of the math part of the process 👍.
No wood surface prep (sanding - tac-cloth - alcohol lint free wipe , filtered water damp cloth "grain pop"-repeat ONCE sand before , between and after ) and no Moisture content testing to validate long term coating survival for moisture egress under the coating side , even if most of it will exit the exposed under surface . Once its "cured" , a light under coating CAN prevent moisture In-TAKE , but that's not a likely SHORT TERM problem for air-conditioned environments👍.
For ultimate long-term discoloration , no mention of UV or other additives already in the product or available as add-ins .
Promising a 2nd-pour even if its not "really necessary" _this time_ or mention of the best TIMING - *just ahead of final solidifying of the 1st layer* , and while this really is a *good* how-2 , its just a _bit_ incomplete .
Every one of these steps CAN contribute to LONGEVITY of an EXCELLENT result , but truthfully, what you DO show seems just about RIGHT for a GOOD beginning effort !
Do you have a more detailed video of the process as I am an overthinker and would love to see the process more detailed and with anything that might be missing
This is very good. Well explained with tips and cautions. Not 50 minutes of talking and 10 minutes of doing like most youtubers.
Thanks for watching, James!
Best guide in TH-cam kudos for the great work covers all the details!!!
Thank you very much, Emilio!
Don't forget to like the video and subscribe for more great epoxy tutorials!
Best video I’ve seen on tictok or TH-cam !!! Thank you Very informative! You’ve gained a sub sir !!
A notch trowel (square preferred) is best used to evenly spread the Epoxy on the table not a spreader. I leave my try to clean surface or in the cup to dry, I never clean it. Instead I break up the excess epoxy when it gets too thick
I’ve never use a sponge brush instead I’ve always used a throwaway brush to wipe the sides.
As shown a spreader is best used to scrape the sides continuously to remove excess drips.
Do not use a heat gun to pop bubbles. Dirt can fall from the cord or the cord can though and contaminate the work.
Instead use a propane torch.
Also it’s a good idea to keep a pick or something pick like handy in case a hair it speck of dirt lands in you work. You can scoop it out earlier, it’s easy trust me.
Great tips!
My countertops came out really great. your detail and method was far superior to others and worked like a charm. Thank you
Whoa! Thank you for sharing! Glad that you loved the outcome, Robert!😍
I sure wish I had of watched this video before doing my pour...I got mega bubbles from air coming out of the wood. My wife ran the heat gun and scorched the epoxy...so I just finished sanding it all back down to bare wood. At least I now have a sealer coat that should limit my bubbles this time. As he said...you DON'T want to be sanding it all off again. Major PITA and oh what a mess...white dust everywhere in my shop now from the belt sanding the epoxy off with 80grit belts. Now that this great tutorial has been viewed by me, I feel like I'll be an expert on the 2nd attempt! Lol
thank you for the great video. Answered all of my product questions. Going to use it this weekend for the first time. Feeling confident!
Hi Lisa, thank you for watching! That's what we're here for. Keep creating awesome projects!! 🙌
Just finished doing an old piece of sycamore with lots of bug holes and character, I was amazed how long tiny bubbles kept rising but the heat gun took care of them with no problem. This video made the process very easy. Can you tell me more about the final sanding/polishing please? I don't see it on the website.
Hi Brian! We're glad our tutorial made your process very easy :) Once your piece is cured, you can lightly sand it with an 80 grit and apply a furniture oil if you want a not-so-glossy finish. if you like a glossy one, you can use our Supergloss Coating for its topcoat.
What you missed in the video is if you do need to do a flood coat after the seal coat, what has to happen to the table to prepare it for the Flood Coat, aka, sand with 120 gritt to give the flood coat something to adhere to, after cleaning off residue from sanding.
You are such a natural
Super detailed and easy to understand. Thank you.
Never thought to legit calculate the amount per pour. Thank you greatly upstart epoxy
We're thrilled that you found our calculator helpful! Thanks so much for your support, Chad! We look forward to seeing your projects :)
Will this adhere to wood stain?
Great video. Explanations & easy to understand. Thank you.
Hey you are a real teacher! Thank you!
That’s a healthy first pour!
Great detail for someone looking to do this project for this first time. Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
Wow, that looks beautiful. Thanks for all the advice.
Love this video! I'm preparing to do my first table top. Which type of polyurethane did you use to seal the under side? Water based or oil based?
You could add the height and width of your edges and get a more accurate calculation. Probably 3-4” to your length and width. About 2.8 sq. ft. Assuming a 1.75 “ edge.
Thanks for posting this! super helpful and thorough!
Came to watch epoxy be poured… learned some math in the process!
If your board HAS polyurathine do ya need to sand out or can it be POORED OVER
This video is so helpful thank you so much
Thank you, Amy! We're glad you found our video helpful.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful! Thank you, Scott!
Wow, way to much for a seal coat...way to much. Such waste of product.
Such good information, and that epoxy looks exactly like what I need for my project. Camera operator though, dude…be careful on those fast zooms. Making me 🤪
We'll let our camera guy know! ;)
so how long does it take to reach full hardness and is it suitable for kitchen benchtops?
Thank you for getting a bigger stick😁
Thank you for this outstanding video.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent explanation and demonstration 👍
Thank you so much!
Awesome tutorial. Was thinking of doing this on a table I'm redoing. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't want me to spend that much money, as epoxy is expensive in these amounts...
How strong is the odor after applying? How long does it take to be dry to the touch and then dry to actually be usable?
I am wanting to do a covered pool bar that has laminate. Can I use this product?
Could you polyurethane the bottom first and then pour your seal/flood coat on top?
Wondering the same thing makes sense
Awesome video thank you!
Thanks for watching, Joe!
Good instruction, HOWEVER! PLEASE STRESS HOW VITALLY IMPORTANT TEMPERATURE IS!! Make sure your epoxy is warm and your table and room are warm, above 75-80 Fahrenheit
Great Job
Thank you very much, Rocky!🥰
Going to start using this soon as I just got my order..........but my question is...why don't you use a bigger stick in that big tub when you are mixing?
Hey Kristi! We used a smaller stick so we don't introduce lots of bubbles when mixing! Thanks for watching!!
If you’re only pouring to cover the exterior… why calculate the volume? I know it’s going to be a bit more due to absorption but I’d like to know why not calculate the area?
Very helpful, Thankyou!
What do I do if I have dust particles left on the surface? How to avoid this problem? Thanks you for answer.
Great tutorial! When doing table top like this, do we need to sand or buff after the epoxy has cured?
Yes! You need to sand it after it has cured and then polish it as needed.
Hi @@StringBanger! It really depends on you. If you're okay with the outcome of the cured epoxy then you have the option not to sand and polish it. However, if you're seeing any imperfections you can fix it by doing so.
All that math and yet half the pour went over the edge
Can an epoxy be used over a painted table?
Yes, epoxy can be used over a painted table, but there are some important steps and considerations to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish:
Surface Preparation:
Ensure the paint is fully cured. Different paints have different curing times, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly sand the painted surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 220 grit) to create a slightly rough surface. This helps the epoxy adhere better.
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust, grease, or contaminants. Use a lint-free cloth and a suitable cleaner (like isopropyl alcohol) to wipe down the surface.
Sealing the Surface:
If the painted surface is porous or has any texture, consider applying a thin seal coat of epoxy first. This helps to prevent air bubbles from forming in the final coat.
Going to do a dining room wood table where I stain the wood different colors before usually doing oil-based polyurethane as a top coat but because this is going to be a dining table and not coffee or end table I need to finish it with a something that can make the top smooth. Will the oil polyurethane or stain cause problems with the epoxy. I usually use the oil based poly because it yellows the wood and gives it an older appearance. Also if the oil based poly would cause a problem and I just go with the epoxy for the top sealer will the oil based stains I used on the wood cause a problem? Thanks.
Can I use a silicone spatula to stir? I like the idea of using a longer implement for larger buckets.
Hey Bev Wolf, yes you can!
So would u recommend using this product for the top of a workbench?? Can you tape the edges of the top to reduce waste? How thick can I go with this product?
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Good job thanx for the info
Always glad to help!😊😊
Just wondering, if you are short on the amount of part A and part B, would it be better to pour in the part A and then measure the additional amount then do the same with part B? Brand new waiting on my first order, figure it must be a great product coming from Wisconsin!.
can you epoxy both the top and bottom of the top so it has a even coat on both sides to prevent warping?
When applying the second layer of epoxy what grit of sand paper is best for scuffing up the seal coat for the best adhesion with the final pour
Once gallon foil is open how long doni have to use if not mixed?
Can you use a blow-dryer to take out the bubbles?
Yes you can!
Nice video . Can i use this on a table top where we have hot dinner plates on ????
hi there, I enjoyed the video. My question is this, what if I wanted to stain the table top then use this epoxy? Will it still bind? Still be without bubbles?
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes you can use our table top epoxy www.upstartepoxy.com/products/epoxy-resin-table-top/?oid=11&affid=606&source_id=youtube on top of a stain!
Here are some tips and tricks to make sure it comes out the way you want it.
1. Choose the Right Stain
Compatibility: Use a stain that is compatible with epoxy resin. Oil-based stains are commonly used, but they must be fully cured before applying epoxy. Water-based stains are also an option and may dry faster and cure in a way that's more compatible with epoxy application.
2. Properly Prepare the Surface
Sanding: Before staining, sand the tabletop thoroughly to ensure a smooth surface. Start with a coarser grit and work your way up to a finer grit for a smooth finish.
Clean: Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust, grease, or any residue that could interfere with stain adhesion and later, the epoxy's ability to bind to the stained surface.
3. Apply the Stain Correctly
Even Application: Apply the stain evenly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a brush, rag, or sponge for application and wipe away excess stain to avoid puddles or uneven areas.
Cure Time: Allow the stain to cure fully. This is crucial. The curing time can vary significantly depending on the type of stain, the application thickness, and environmental conditions. Oil-based stains, in particular, may require longer to cure fully (often several days to a week).
4. Seal the Stain (Optional)
Sealer Application: You can apply a sealer after the stain has cured and before the epoxy. This step can help seal the stain, preventing it from interacting with the epoxy and also can aid in reducing the chances of bubbles forming. If you choose to use a sealer, ensure it is fully cured and compatible with both the stain and the epoxy resin.
5. Apply Epoxy
Bubble Prevention: After ensuring the stained surface is fully cured and prepared, mix and pour the epoxy. To avoid bubbles, pour slowly and carefully. Use a heat gun or torch to gently heat the surface of the epoxy after pouring to pop any bubbles that do form.
Wear a mask partner when mixing. Maybe the research has evolved or the chemical mixes have changed? But vapors released especially with most hardeners need protecting against
I am planning on making a craft table and really want it to be spectacular. I plan on painting the table top and then doing an acrylic stencil in the corners. Will the epoxy lift the table paint or the acrylic paint used for the stencil?
You will need to give it a good time to cure. I just watched a guy use epoxy to seal acrylic paintings but he had let them cure for 4 weeks
Can you do this process outside in a carport
is 1/16" thick enough to be durable (Just the seal coat)? Mine can out decent with just one or two small bubbles. Is it worth adding a flood coat?
What size notch trowel do you use?
hello; what notch size trowel did you used ? thanks
Hey can this product Upstart epoxy be used on my bed room floors
If you wanted to add some paper type things, how would you go about that? I have a coffee table project and I want to put some bookmarks on it (I'm a huge nerd, I know lol) but I don't want to mess it up.
Same question, but I'd like to put some paper charts of where we sailed on the top and coat it with epoxy. Would i put the paper charts on the sealer and coat with a 3/8 deep epoxy? Or should I do a 1/8 layer with the epoxy, put the charts on that and then pour? Will the first layer of epoxy be clear when the next layer is poured over it?
That would be super cool. I've seen some paper things with resin but I am guessing it's a but different
@@kalidice1775 Hi Kali! Yes, you can! For a really solid finish, an epoxy resin coat will turn a paper into a rock-hard object.
It's best practice to seal your bookmarks first with a brush-on or spray sealer before your resin will create a barrier and prevent the resin from seeping into the paper and giving you unwanted dark, wet spots :)
@@shootinsquid10xamf76 Hi there! These are great questions.
It's always a good precaution to seal your paper first before you resin. After sealing them, you will need to do a 1/8" layer and pour it. The first layer of epoxy will be clear when the next layer is poured over it!
Sometimes papers or charts can absorb the resin - giving it a wet look but to avoid that it is best to apply a sealer to your work prior to working with our resin. We always recommend doing a test on a "non-masterpiece" first to ensure you get the desired results. Hope this helps!

If I was doing a floor what can I use as a primer? Or base coat..
Hello! Any water based products would work great, we just don't suggest oil based.
I want to Table Top Expoxy a vintage 5 panel door. That means some places it will be up to 1/4 in deep. I would like it to be all one level. Can this product do that?
Hello Pati, our Table Top is designed for 1/8" layers. You can pour an additional 1/8 layer if it's 1/4" deep.
Did you complete this project? This is exactly what my plan is! I don’t want to sand it at all. Did you put epoxy into the center of each panel to “fill” it first, before coating the whole door? Did you leave the hardware on the door? How did yours turn out?
I did a thin layer on a table top. Mine said 24 hours to cure. It's been left alone for almost 2 days. Looked amazin and I just grabbed a towel and damped it a bit to clean it. Everything the damped part of the towel touched turned the epoxy cloudy. Did I just mess it up? Is there an easy fix or do I have to apply another layer 🤦♂️
Hello Sifaka!
Thanks for watching!
If your resin hasn't cured properly, this means that the chemical reaction between the resin and hardener was not able to take place. Sticky resin is typically caused by inaccurate measuring or under mixing or curing in cold temperatures.
Also, if the resin hasn't cured yet, we don't recommend touching or damping it as this will turn the epoxy cloudy or damage the surface. You can fix this by scraping this down and then go ahead and pour a fresh coat of carefully measured and thoroughly mixed Table Top Epoxy Resin.
@@upstartepoxy4804 thanks for the reply! It's not to noticeable for someone that doesn't know or when it's not getting direct light so I'll just leave it as is and be more careful for next time!
Great video! How do I pour over a paper design. I want the resin to overlap the paper and wood surface.
Thank you! You would have to seal your paper first as what you should do with the wood surface as both materials are porous. Once sealed, you may pour your epoxy just like that one on the video. ;)
What do I do about fish eye? I did a seal coat on my kitchen table and when I put the next coat it fish eyed. How can I fix the fish eye spots?
Here are some tips and tricks for existing fish eyes as well as how to prevent them. Thanks for watching! If you have additional questions you can find more on our website here www.upstartepoxy.com//?oid=11&affid=606&source_id=youtube
To Fix Existing Fish Eyes:
Sand the Surface: Begin by lightly sanding the entire surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 220-320 grit) to create a uniform texture and to remove any high edges around the fish eyes. Be careful not to sand too aggressively and damage the underlying layers.
Clean Thoroughly: After sanding, clean the surface thoroughly to remove all dust, debris, and potential contaminants. Use a lint-free cloth and an appropriate cleaner (like isopropyl alcohol) that won't leave a residue. Allow the surface to dry completely.
Apply an Additional Coat: Mix a new batch of tabletop epoxy according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply a thin coat over the entire surface, paying special attention to the areas where fish eyes occurred. The new layer of epoxy should level itself out and fill in the fish eyes, creating a smooth finish.
Monitor and Torch: After applying the epoxy, carefully monitor the surface for the first 30-60 minutes and use a heat gun or torch to pop any air bubbles that rise to the surface. If fish eyes begin to form again, gently coax the epoxy into these areas with a clean mixing stick or spreader.
To Prevent Fish Eyes in Future Applications:
Ensure a Clean Surface: Before applying epoxy, make sure the surface is completely clean and free from oils, waxes, silicones, or other contaminants. Wipe down with a solvent like isopropyl alcohol that evaporates completely.
Apply a Seal Coat: Applying a thin seal coat before the final pour can help seal the surface and reduce the likelihood of fish eyes. Allow the seal coat to cure as directed before applying the next layer.
Temperature and Humidity: Work in an environment within the temperature and humidity ranges recommended by the epoxy manufacturer. Extreme conditions can affect how the epoxy flows and cures.
Mixing and Pouring Techniques: Mix the epoxy thoroughly but gently to avoid introducing excessive air bubbles. Pour the epoxy slowly and evenly over the surface.
Product Compatibility: Use products (cleaners, sealers, etc.) that are compatible with your epoxy resin to avoid reactions that could lead to fish eyes.
Is there anyone local in the Chicago area doing this as a service?
How long to wait for the final coat?
What temperature for heat gun please?
I don’t have any experience with epoxy but I feel you don’t need to put so much of it on that it’s running like crazy off of the sides.
I want to epoxy a 24 in wood round. Do I use the same measurements you did for a rectangle table for my wood round? The 1/16 and 1/8 x H x W then convert those numbers to US ounces?
Hi Jeremy! For a round surface, you will need to calculate the radius. Since you have 24" as your diameter, you can divide it by 2 to calculate the radius.
Next is to calculate volume in cubic inches. To do this, it's going to be (radius squared) X pi (or, 3.14159265) x (desired epoxy coating thickness). Divide by 1.805 to convert cubic inch volume to US fluid ounces. To convert ounces to gallons, divide by 128.
Hope this helps!
@@upstartepoxy4804 Thank you for formula. Is it normal for me to use a heat gun for 15 minutes? Most of it was on the side of the wood round, not so much the flat part of the wood. The side of the round was difficult to keep the epoxy to stay as it dripped off the side. Any suggestions to keep the epoxy on the edge of the wood round?
@@JJ-fg4wp It depends but be careful not to overheat, scorch or burn the epoxy. Periodically check for additional bubbles and remove as needed.
Thanks for the video, I am making some small outdoor tables having tiles and inlayed wood. Using tiles it is not smooth so a drink glass may not be stable. I was thinking of using Upstart but wonder if using it over tiles or for outdoor use (Arizona heat) us a good idea.
Hi Grateful Zugore! Thanks for watching our video! Upstart Epoxy is best used for indoors and semi-indoors applications, but anything outside is not rated for. While it is UV resistant, prolonged exposure to the sun will cause it to yellow and may chalk when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
What do I do if I applied the epoxy over uncured water-based stain? I have lots of divots in the first seal coat. Do i need to sand down to wood or can i salvage it somehow?
It is fixable, do not worry! Whether your divots occurred during the pouring process of your surfaces, or afterwards due to a soft cure, the solution is always to pour another coat of epoxy. You can pour directly over the previous epoxy pour within 24 hours of the first pour. After that, you will need to sand the surface with a 220 or 320 grit sandpaper lightly to create a chemical bond.
Pro tip: Use metric for all measurements (much easier to work with cubic centimeters as a measurement of volume, if you need 10 cubic centimeters, thats 1 liter of mixed liquid. Now all you do is find what U.S. unit is equivalent to a liter
how long after applying the first coat do you wait to apply the heat gun for bubbles?
You can torch them as soon as you can see the bubbles.
This was a great tutorial, thank you. Question, I plan on putting an epoxy coating on top of a coffee table that has a latex paint pour on the surface. Any suggestions on using the Upstart Epoxy product on this project? Thank you for any feedback and/or suggestions.
~SK
As long as it's not oil-based, you'll be able to pour on paints/finishes/etc no problem. For some things like artwork, many people spray/brush on a sealant before epoxy.
how would you calculate a ROUND table?
For a round surface, you will need to measure the diameter. Divide the diameter by 2 to calculate the radius. To calculate volume in cubic inches: (radius squared) X pi (or, 3.14159265) x (desired epoxy coating thickness). Divide by 1.805 to convert cubic inch volume to US fluid ounces. To convert ounces to gallons, divide by 128.
What’s those things called holding the table up off the table
Those are risers, Janell. You can actually use anything sturdy to support your table.
So my table is made by salvaged wood from a church burning down. It is currently covered with glass, which I don't like. I would like to coat it in epoxy but there are a few places with 100% all the way through holes. Any tips?
I am also worried about calculations with all the holes and burn marks.
Hi Emily! For filling in voids on your countertop, you can apply it first with a skim coat or slurry paste using a putty knife or with a gloved hand. Once it is fully cured, you can smoothly sand it with regular sand paper. The time this takes will depend on how large the voids are and how much water was mixed with the coat but should be anywhere from 1-6 hours.
how do you do 2 sides of a board, or 4 sides to a block ?
Hey Sharon! You will want to let the top side cure first before coating the underside of it. For the other sides, you can brush coat them :)
It seems like this method has a lot of waste for the epoxy, is there some way to prevent this?
I would like to mount a piece of hand dyed fabric to a table top. Should I still do a pour for a seal coat and then put the fabric on and pour over?
Yes! Seal coat is very important.
I just don’t understand how you can call it a 1/16” pour if you’re allowing material to flow over the edges?
Another question, I will be working on this table in my garage. How do I keep small particles from floating into the resin as it cures?
Hi Angel! You can absolutely do that by putting them while the epoxy is still tacky :)
Plastic drop clothes tacked up to your rafters. Make yourself a hillbilly paint shop.
I have a question, how do you fix a table to with hard resin full of bubbles and drips lol. I know it’s messed up. It was a second coat but we didn’t realise it wasn’t dry yet when it was touched. It left marked. Also there was some drips around the edges that’ dried out. Pls help.
You can grind off all these edges using a sanding flap disc cause it takes the dried bubbles off so quick.
