    I love your instruction, but I had to watch it several times(I'm new at this). Anyway I have two questions.. first I tried to use a bamboo cutting board and the resin did not stick!! Weird. Do you have to use a certain non coated board? Second how do you deal with all the drips on the edges???

    • @PourMeARiver
      @PourMeARiver  3 года назад +11

      I sanded the board first. When you buy them they are waxed and oiled. You need to sand it first or buy them uncoated.

  • @MrPendragon1986

    Thank you soo much, I tried this method but still had issues using using the West Systems epoxy that I usually use, so I tried a different epoxy I pulled out some UVPOXY from Ecopoxy and it was night and day, my very first try looks amazing, enough so that I'm going to make an ocean table after I've done some more practice, again learning from a PRO is never a bad option

    • @PourMeARiver
      @PourMeARiver  3 года назад +9

      I let it drips. Some people tape the bottom. I don't because it never comes out clean. So, I let it drip then I place it upside down on a foam pad and sand the drips off. After that I oil and wax the bottom back to a nice finish.

    • @aronlinde1723
      @aronlinde1723 3 года назад +6

      It should work with a heat gun but you might risk flashing. The dye is likely alcohol dye and what's happening is the alcohol is being boiled off. You will see flames coming off the resin which is the alcohol burning.

    I have been trying to make these and continuously run into problems with the back of the board. From the drip thru, there are large bumps and "stalagmites" of hardened resin and the edges are not smooth . . . do you simply chisel, belt-sand, and finish to wood grain on the bottom?
