Appreciate this video. I'm just starting to dabble in epoxy and its nice to see real mistakes and how to fix them. Instead of some super sponsored channel where everything is always perfect :)
😂 you have come to the right place!
I love your sarcasm, I literally did the exact same thing. I hovered over my piece blasted it with heat cause I didn’t want any bubbles in the next day. I went to go check on it and I had all these little itsy-bitsy tiny pockets of bubbles everywhere on one corner of it. I’m talking the really tiny bubbles. That are still down in my piece as if they never got a chance to rise to the surface. So I’m not sure how I’m going to fix that or just leave it from a distance you can’t see them at all.
Misery loves company. I’m happy to share my successes, and more frequently, my failures. Best of luck to you!
Nice work!!
Thanks!
Hey i love your way of doing epoxy work😍💯 & could you please tell me that in this video which alcohol you are talking about ? It sounds like teenage is it the same or some other?
Thank you for those kind words. I used denatured alcohol to clean the surface after sanding.
Teenage alcoholic 😂😂 you get it from prom
Did you thin your seal coats with acetone, xylene, denatured, etc?
I know they usually say thinning is not recommended, but I used acetone, something like 4 parts epoxy, 1 part acetone, and only ended up with a few tiiiiny bubbles that no one notices except me.
Disclaimer: I was using different wood and different brand epoxy.
I did not but I will keep that in mind if I ever do any more epoxy projects! I never intended to use epoxy, it was an attempt to salvage the project
If you had put the denatured in a spray bottle and sprayed the wet resin surface it would have eliminated the bubbles.
Wow great tip!
Can you tell where the holes were? I’m running into the problem of still seeing the drill holes once a new coat of resin is poured.
You cannot. Are you sanding the holes after you re-pour?
Which epoxy repair brand would you recommend, JD or gorilla for best finish? Thanks
It probably depends on what you are trying to fix, the gorilla super glue works well for very small bubbles, JB is better for bigger ones. Honestly I just used those because I had them on hand. There are probably better options out there and I am far from an expert when it comes to epoxy. I hope that helps.
How long did you wait for it to dry? When do I know if it’s not dry enough!
Good question, I would recommend asking someone who has done a lot more work with epoxy hahaha
I have a table with hundreds of tiny bubbles in it. I don’t want to add a lot of thickness with the second pour. Are you just brushing a thin layer of epoxy on the table?
Good question, I think you could just fill the bubbles individually if you wanted to take the time, but it might be easier to sand down your table to remove them, and then re-coat it with a thin coat of epoxy. You would probably end up with about the same thickness from what you take away by sanding and what you gain from pouring another coat. That’s just my 2 cents, I am far from an expert.
Hi, die you get standing swirls?
Nope
Do you still have this table and does the repair still look good?! I only have 3 bubbles to fix on a 6’ x 3’ table and I would love to not pour another layer!!!
Unfortunately I do not still have the table. My advice give it a try, if it doesn’t work you probably still have the option to pour another layer.
So i just can drill a hole thru the bobbles in my project (20mm) and then refill it with epoxy? 🤔 And u dont see it afterwords?
Just drill out the bubble (don't go all the way through your project) and clean out/up any dust or residue before refilling. Ideally you will just drill through the epoxy deep enough to take out the bubble and not remove any of the wooden material underneath.
@@WeekendWoodworker thx for the fast reply. 👍 I will try my best. But next time i will definitely seal the oak twice not only once 😅
good luck!
@@WeekendWoodworkerdumb question...is the drilled out hole invisible once the second coat of epoxy is poured? I have pits to fix and I'm worried about them still being visible under the top coat. Thanks!
You know you could of just used 80 grit, sand out the bubbles, wipe it clean really good, and just pour another coat. Using all those different grits of sand paper is a waist of time.M.
I respectfully disagree. Since I am not working in a sterile environment the surface is prone to minor imperfections, bubbles or no bubbles, sanding to a fine grit removes these imperfections and still achieves a nice clean finish. You are, however, under no obligation to do things the way I do them, so if your method works more power to you.
Please, use mask while sanding resin !!
You must be a good example (and for your health too of course) for beginners who are watching youtube !
What makes you think I wasn’t wearing a mask while sanding???
