It's nice that you didn't need to do the "flood coat", but now none of us know how to do it.
Really good video. One minor (lighthearted) point……use millimetres/litres and save loads of time on calculations and conversions 😀

Just did my first table I built for a Kitchen nook, first time doing anything like this and man the first 2 coats came out good the 3rd messed up for some reason so I sanded it down lightly with 220 grit, pour the last or 4th coat and it came out super clean looks great worth every penny I spent to do it. The hardest part was making sure I had everything I needed the having everything ready to use. Make sure you have really good lighting so you can see any imperfection so you can smooth them out. And walk around it looking from all sides or you might miss something. Have you heat gun plugged in and ready to pick up on the fly because time goes by fast then you think when you are trying to smooth it out then brushing the sides and then taking your heat gun to blow on it to get those tiny little bubles out. Funny thing was I didn't even see the buble till I put the heat on it. But the bubles come up and pop just as sweet as you please. Very good product. I only poured about 1/4 inch at a time so a thin coat and it worked great. Mine ended up being about 1 inch thick total. Wish I could post a photo because mine came out awesome and this was my first time doing this.

Excellent coverage of the math part of the process 👍. No wood surface prep (sanding - tac-cloth - alcohol lint free wipe , filtered water damp cloth "grain pop"-repeat ONCE sand before , between and after ) and no Moisture content testing to validate long term coating survival for moisture egress under the coating side , even if most of it will exit the exposed under surface . Once its "cured" , a light under coating CAN prevent moisture In-TAKE , but that's not a likely SHORT TERM problem for air-conditioned environments👍. For ultimate long-term discoloration , no mention of UV or other additives already in the product or available as add-ins . Promising a 2nd-pour even if its not "really necessary" _this time_ or mention of the best TIMING - *just ahead of final solidifying of the 1st layer* , and while this really is a *good* how-2 , its just a _bit_ incomplete . Every one of these steps CAN contribute to LONGEVITY of an EXCELLENT result , but truthfully, what you DO show seems just about RIGHT for a GOOD beginning effort !

Hey you are a real teacher! Thank you!
I sure wish I had of watched this video before doing my pour...I got mega bubbles from air coming out of the wood. My wife ran the heat gun and scorched the epoxy...so I just finished sanding it all back down to bare wood. At least I now have a sealer coat that should limit my bubbles this time. As he said...you DON'T want to be sanding it all off again. Major PITA and oh what a mess...white dust everywhere in my shop now from the belt sanding the epoxy off with 80grit belts. Now that this great tutorial has been viewed by me, I feel like I'll be an expert on the 2nd attempt! Lol

Came to watch epoxy be poured… learned some math in the process!
Will this adhere to wood stain?
A notch trowel (square preferred) is best used to evenly spread the Epoxy on the table not a spreader. I leave my try to clean surface or in the cup to dry, I never clean it. Instead I break up the excess epoxy when it gets too thick I’ve never use a sponge brush instead I’ve always used a throwaway brush to wipe the sides. As shown a spreader is best used to scrape the sides continuously to remove excess drips. Do not use a heat gun to pop bubbles. Dirt can fall from the cord or the cord can though and contaminate the work. Instead use a propane torch. Also it’s a good idea to keep a pick or something pick like handy in case a hair it speck of dirt lands in you work. You can scoop it out earlier, it’s easy trust me.

Also if the oil based poly would cause a problem and I just go with the epoxy for the top sealer will the oil based stains I used on the wood cause a problem? Thanks.

Hi Jeremy! For a round surface, you will need to calculate the radius. Since you have 24" as your diameter, you can divide it by 2 to calculate the radius. Next is to calculate volume in cubic inches. To do this, it's going to be (radius squared) X pi (or, 3.14159265) x (desired epoxy coating thickness). Divide by 1.805 to convert cubic inch volume to US fluid ounces. To convert ounces to gallons, divide by 128. Hope this helps!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes you can use our table top epoxy www.upstartepoxy.com/products/epoxy-resin-table-top/?oid=11&affid=606&source_id=youtube on top of a stain! Here are some tips and tricks to make sure it comes out the way you want it. 1. Choose the Right Stain Compatibility: Use a stain that is compatible with epoxy resin. Oil-based stains are commonly used, but they must be fully cured before applying epoxy. Water-based stains are also an option and may dry faster and cure in a way that's more compatible with epoxy application. 2. Properly Prepare the Surface Sanding: Before staining, sand the tabletop thoroughly to ensure a smooth surface. Start with a coarser grit and work your way up to a finer grit for a smooth finish. Clean: Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust, grease, or any residue that could interfere with stain adhesion and later, the epoxy's ability to bind to the stained surface. 3. Apply the Stain Correctly Even Application: Apply the stain evenly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a brush, rag, or sponge for application and wipe away excess stain to avoid puddles or uneven areas. Cure Time: Allow the stain to cure fully. This is crucial. The curing time can vary significantly depending on the type of stain, the application thickness, and environmental conditions. Oil-based stains, in particular, may require longer to cure fully (often several days to a week). 4. Seal the Stain (Optional) Sealer Application: You can apply a sealer after the stain has cured and before the epoxy. This step can help seal the stain, preventing it from interacting with the epoxy and also can aid in reducing the chances of bubbles forming. If you choose to use a sealer, ensure it is fully cured and compatible with both the stain and the epoxy resin. 5. Apply Epoxy Bubble Prevention: After ensuring the stained surface is fully cured and prepared, mix and pour the epoxy. To avoid bubbles, pour slowly and carefully. Use a heat gun or torch to gently heat the surface of the epoxy after pouring to pop any bubbles that do form.

Hi Angel, The best practice is to start with epoxy, and then overcoat with polyurethane. Not the other way around, as this may develop adhesion issues in the long run.

Hi Emily! For filling in voids on your countertop, you can apply it first with a skim coat or slurry paste using a putty knife or with a gloved hand. Once it is fully cured, you can smoothly sand it with regular sand paper. The time this takes will depend on how large the voids are and how much water was mixed with the coat but should be anywhere from 1-6 hours.
