The stairs look fantastic! One tip to keep from having to sand away so much epoxy after it hardens is to use an old credit card or small squeegee to scrape away the epoxy while it’s still wet. What’s remaining will easily sand off with one or two passes.

That was great! Love seeing how you do, what you do. Your baby is ADORABLE!

Great vid. I really appreciate how you explained this. Helps a guy like me. Thanks

Very nice job explaining and demonstrating. Thank you for making this video.

Loved the video. Really helpful.❤

Heidi, It's good to see you again. The stairs look great and this loft is going to be awesome. Thanks for the video.

Your stairs are beautiful!

Thanks for being honest about 1st time doing the epoxy, the stairs look great! I liked the fact u admitted you're a novice right away, It made the video easy to watch! From the beginning, it let the viewer know u are here to help, by relaying any hiccups/pointers you learned, to help make process easier (exactly why I am on YT researching). Many people feel the need to hide this,? Now, why they decide to make a video explaining it like they are professionals, I have no idea? Nonetheless, it stands out like a sore thumb to anyone who's experienced/passionate about their craft, as it takes many years and the lessons that follow (mistakes) to truly understand and be able to act like a professor. You were the complete opposite, thus why I subbed! Thank You!!

Epoxy is an adventure. Every part of it is a learning process including the use of tuck tape. Have a heat gun handy or lots of alcohol or something to release it. I pulled some of the surface wood off my silver maples slab. Don't overfill anymore than you have too. I used a trans tint dye which penetrates into the surrounding wood meaning you have to plane or sand the stain out also. Lots of folks seal with a sealing epoxy before doing their deep pours. That's great if you have a professional woodworking shop with tens of thousand of dollars worth of planers, drum sanders, and other high dollar equipment.

Amazing 👍👍❤

Beautiful

Thank you 👍

Thank you

what you use dor final finish?

3:20 very useful tip

Loved the video! If you have trouble with thick epoxy try letting the containers sit in warm water before mixing.

The summer is a great time for pouring. I leave my resin/hardener in the garage and it mixes so smoothly with little to no bubbles.

When it comes to doing multiple pours, is there a visible “seam” between layers? Like on a river table or something like that, where a lot of the resin is visible in the finished product.

As long as you pour the next layer between 3-5 hours you'll be fine.

Awesome video

Heidi, at 4:09 what liquid do you use to wipe off the sanded dust to see how the epoxy looks when it is clear?

Water😂

I recently poured epoxy to fill cracks and gaps. When sanding I noticed the epoxy color seeped into the neighboring grain leaving a splotchy dark color in areas. Has this happened to you and any recommendations for fixing? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

If it's Dye/ liquid pigment as opposed to powder pigment you should always seal before you pour. I use a small brush to put a clear coat of Epoxy first let it dry then pour. This solves the problem and seals your project. Which stops the bleeding into other areas. To get out bleeding is tough sometimes you have to go as far as planning/resurfacing it. Hope this helps!

What did you use after you finished to make the wood shiny

@jonbooker1050

You would use a gloss top coat to protect the wood.

nice !;-)

Just an observation however my thought to prevent over filling the cracks would be to try using a syringe with a large whole. I believe you can get them at tractor supply co. Just don’t use the needle.

that is a great idea!!

But is it casting epoxy or coating ?

How do you color the epoxy??

Epoxy tint. I got some off of Amazon, tho I assume it's found elsewhere as well as it's pretty common and can be used for many other applications besides epoxy.

The baby gave her opinion. Lol

I started with Woodglut plans.

ba ba ba...

It's time for a baby picture. It's been almost five or six months since this last pic.

Yeah so you have zero idea if you have the right ratio since an unknown ammount was left in that jar, so, A:it never hardened, or B: it “hardened” yet it’s still a liquid (kind of in the sense that glass is a liquid) just a more sped up process. I filled a natural crack in a cutting board when I was a novice and it “hardened” but sank over the months. Looks good for now though

You know epoxy isn't safe to ingest right? Meaning it should never be used on a cutting board! In my experience ratios don't need to be exactly 50/50 down to the nano gram...You can clearly see this hardened up just fine.

Please don’t listen to what she says it will ruin your projects. Instead go check out a pro such as black tail studio!
