    Always struggled figuring out a good way to remove the "drips" on the bottom with table top epoxy. That tape trick is exactly what I needed. Thanks for showing that!

  • @EllisDesignandTradeCo

    It most likely wasn't a deep pour epoxy, and cure time was fast. Mixing epoxy and hardener, an exothermic reaction occurs which then releases heat. The heat had no way of escaping from the bottom due to the thickness. I've had this happen with epoxy cutting boards when I first started pouring epoxy. Ecopoxy has a deep pour set that takes 8 hours to thicken, which is great unless you want a faster cure time with less volume, then I'd go with Total Boat Epoxy, which also works really well when making ocean wave art. Cool project and thanks for sharing your experience!

      Ah yes of course exactly, totally agree with you with the whole exothermic reaction thingy. It’s very exothermic reactive when mixing stuff with stuff

    Your epoxy split because of the depth of the pour. Even with "deep pour" epoxy you generally only go a 1/2" at a time. But, like you said it's a test piece for you so it's a learning piece as well. Thanks for sharing your journey! Couple of tips, to test your epoxy you should use the "Thumbnail" test. If you can press your thumbnail into the epoxy then it is not fully cured. For best results, pour a layer, and wait until your thumbnail no longer makes an impression. Do a light sand with 180 grit paper and hit your next layer. Repeat. Then when doing a top coat start thin. Use your hands to spread the epoxy and a propane torch to pop bubbles. Never linger with the torch. Make smooth quick passes at about 5-6" away from the surface. Do a pass like this then come back in 15-20 mins and do another. After a bit, the bubbles will cease. This thin layer will help seal those pores and by using thin layers you can keep it fairly level, sanding like I mentioned between your resin coats. Once you stop getting little dimples from air, then do a flood coat, again spreading with your hands. It is better to do it this way so you can "feel" the epoxy spread. Gloves, of course. I generally double glove my right hand as I am right-handed and that is the hand I use to do the spreading with. Good flood coats take practice. Looking forward to more of this in the future!

    I'm not into epoxy tables but I do like this one.
    My 2c: when soldering even if you use rosin core solder use additional flux. Pre-tinning contacts and wires speeds up soldering process and helps to get better result.

    • @trevorgreene5059
      @trevorgreene5059 2 года назад

      Concur with this suggestion. All it takes is just a dab of rosin flux followed by immediate cleaning using isopropyl alcohol after soldering.

    Unless the epoxy is designed for deep pour, you need to pour in small layers. While there are many brands of epoxy that are designed for deep pours even those have their limits total boat included.

    In my country ( Norway) .. The "only" wood we can get a hold of easy is soft pinetree etc.. Like "normal" construction wood. Hardwood etc is very rare and if you even find someone who sells it cause theyve imported it.. and the price is insane.
    Do you have any projects like this that can go well with pine and other soft woods? Ive just started woodworking, and im struggling to get it to look nice after finish etc.. Aswell as a factor of how to the wood will bend etc over a short time ( havent experienced it yet, but i assume it will happen ) Ive bought some furniture thats hardwood and reclaimed it. But its full of finish 10/10 times.. So sanding it down for 2 hours is so harsh... And like i said..rare and expensive.. So yhe if you have any suggestions.. Il take it ^^

    That may have cracked because you clamped it down and kept it clamped while the epoxy hardened. From what I understand, you should clamp it at the beginning but loosen the clamps after epoxy starts to set. I am no expert but have watched some videos that recommend loosening clamps after it starts to set. Great Channel my friend.
