Awesome tips and info! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Really great tips, Caleb! Thanks! 😃
Until now I only used epoxy for gluing stuff... But I want to try it more!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Go for it! It’s a ton of fun!
One of these days, I might get brave enough to tackle some epoxy projects.
You can do it!
Been using TotalBoat for a few projects, I just wish there were more environmentally friendly ways of mixing and I’d use it more. As a woodworker, personally my gut wrenches when I use a lot of disposable plastic containers. Thanks for the tips though
I’ve got small silicone bowls I use all the time for small mixed. I’m sure larger ones are available
Cheap baby wipes work great for wiping out your plastic cups, leave no residue and can reuse your cups over and over again
@@Bobo-gm9fd okay but now you're throwing away baby wipes relentlessly which is still excess waste product
@@YouCanMakeThisToo how do you clean your excess epoxy from your materials?
Rockler makes silicone mixing cups now
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Thank you!
Caleb, I'm so glad you've made this channel. It's like you've seen my to do list!!
Question for you, I have an irregular shaped piece of Teak wood that I want to make an art project out of. Prior to applying the epoxy finish would you recommend using a "sand and seal" on the Teak?
Thanks and keep making these GREAT videos.
I don’t have much experience with teak. If it’s an open grained wood like walnut or oak, then I’d really recommend a sanding sealer to help close up the pores. That’ll stop a lot of air from coming up into the epoxy and give you a smoother finish.
Thanks for the quick reply. Teak is actually a "closed grain" wood. The reason fir my question is that it is an 'oily' wood and I'm not sure if that will have an adverse effect on the epoxy. I'm just going to have to experiment and see!
@johnjagels8110 ah. Just give it a good scrub with denatured alcohol first
Great tips, how do you figure out how much to make up? For example, I want a new computer desk, not doing anything fancy, about a 28" x 6' top from three 2x10's glued up, and since I don't yet have jointer and planer in my tools yet, I want a thin layer of epoxy on top to seal/level it. I don't want to mix too much and waste, but also don't want to run out in the middle. Thanks!

This video covers for doing large void filling.
For doing flood coats with a table top epoxy, most brands provide a coverage guide. If you go with totalboat they have it on their product page under FAQs
@@YouCanMakeThisToo Awesome, thank you!
Cheap baby wipes make great tools for cleaning your cups out so you can reuse them over and over again
Good tip!
If the directions just say mix 1 to 1 do you weigh or measure it?
If they don't specify volume or weight, I assume you can do either
👌
