Stunning work! Very well done video as well. So much appreciate the professional work demonstrated in this video and the commitment to responding to viewers. Not every day you see that! I have been doing resin boards for quite some time and still learning. I got some useful tips from your video. I too use walrus oil but find that the boards do not come out as shiny as doing a clear top coat with epoxy as a final step. Maybe there a step I'm missing ... like using finer grit sanding towards the final stage. You mentioned you go from 80 to 320. Also I know walrus oil is food safe but if I'm finishing my boards with a top coat of epoxy (I use ecopoxy), would that be recommended as a food safe surface?

@MacArthurWoodworks

2 жыл бұрын

Hey! Thanks so much for your kind words. The Walrus Oil does “fog” the epoxy slightly because it’s food safe and contains beeswax. I believe when a flood coat properly cures, it could be food safe. Sanding to a higher grit could make it clearer, but it won’t be as clear as a flood coat. I hope this helps! Also, you can use “MAC10” at Walrus Oil for 10% off! ☺️

What a great job you’ve done. So professional and it turned out really well! If I had one criticism it would be that it seemed to come out a wee bit dull. Suspect that’s just an artefact of the resin you used so not anything you’ve done wrongly. Edit: just looked back to the beginning - the actual wood you’re using isn’t particular bright so it’s probably just that. Just wondering, what was the black stuff you put on some of the bits? Was it a knot sealer?

Жыл бұрын

It would be fine to use the cups. Also it’s not a big deal if it drips since it’s an oil finish.

do you ever find that the oil approach to finish comes with any weird foggy edges to the resin? or is that just possibly the outcome if you dont apply wax as well maybe

@MacArthurWoodworks

can I ask, do you do any prep methods on your wood before pouring? I've tried to do a few boards and my process is pretty much 1:1 with yours, but the air pockets and hollows in the wood just burped out bubbles all through the curing process that were impossible to keep up with. I've gone through a LOT of resin trying to refine the process and avoid this but it always happens.

I left the oil on 24 hours. I let the wax sit for 15 minutes before buffing. What do you mean your epoxy is full? Do you mean dull? You definitely need to leave the oil on longer than 2 hours. However, if you use a food safe finish it’s going to contain beeswax, which can sometimes make the epoxy dull. I hardly ever sand above 320 grit, so I’m not sure. I would assume if you sand to a higher grit it will become more clear, but again, the food safe oils and waxes can make the finish a bit hazy. If you want a crystal clear finish, I’d recommend table top epoxy!

I see some people seal the live edge with epoxy to guard against air bubbles. Do you find not doing this an issue?

What is the black filler you put on the wood before sanding?

It’s called Starbond. It’s a CA glue that works and looks awesome. You can find it here: www.starbond.com/?rfsn=4901786.80c302

Great work. Will you list the equipments you used here in this comment also. Im very curious.

Thanks so much! The products I used (resin, pigments, oil, etc.) are all listed in the description. As far as tools, I used the DeWalt DW735 planer, Porter Cable 6” jointer, Hitachi 10” sliding miter saw, Festool 5” ETS 125 sander, and a Ryobi buffer/polisher. Does that help? Thanks again for watching and commenting!

One more question. I'd like to order the starbond glue you recommended and want to use your discount code. I went to their website to order and see that they have many different variations of this products. I also noticed that you used a spray after applying the glue in your video. Can you tell me specifically what products I would need to order? Thanks so much for your assistance.

I’d love that! In this video (and for most of my builds) I use the Medium Black CA glue and then a spray can of accelerator. I usually just get the larger sizes because I know I’m going to use them. You will love it!

Sorry to jump on the question, but isn't CA glue toxic? Not food safe? Thinking of trying to make one of these but want it to be ok to eat from.

Hi! Very good work! I've a question... The mold that you used at the beginning of the video (I mean the one in wich you pour the resin between the wood), is made by you or I can buy it anywhere?.. How is it's correct name?... Because I think is very useful and it can be used many times =)

Crazy question...but I thought a jointer was to get bottom of board completely flat....so if that is so, why not flip the board over and do the other side too, instead of also using a planer? Brand new here, thank you, learning from you for sure!🙂

@MacArthurWoodworks

Жыл бұрын

That could potentially work, but you would just have two sides. The planer ensures they are parallel. The jointer gets one side flat, the planer makes the other side parallel to it.
