The set of coasters that is all epoxy still has an awesome design

Hi Marie. To neatly finish off silicone take an old credit card and cut one end of it so that the corners become square instead of the usual rounded. Then snip a tiny corner off at 45°. Then when you’ve laid your silicone in the corner run this around and it will leave a nice 45° fillet all the way round wherever you’ve put the silicone and scrape off nice and cleanly all the excess. You can even cut different sized corners off to give different sized fillets.

Love this tip! Will try that in the future, thanks!

a resin swirl tip from a surfboard builder: First create separate cups with the colors you want. Mix the epoxy, hardener, and pigment. Once you have a cup for each color, pour them both into a third cup and LIGHTLY, barely stir. Often times that third cup has clear epoxy in it, creating a swirl of clear and both colors. Then pour and watch the magic happen!

I really love the ones with the blue epoxy. Don't beat yourself up with the all-epoxy coasters. I think those look great too.

Excellent tutorial. Did you just apply one coat of Osmo? Did you sand after applying Osmo? Thanks!

Nice Marie I haven't yet been able to work with epoxy yet maybe in my furture.I just got into bowl turning would like to do some epoxy work in bowl making hmmmm.But great job on your coasters they would be a nice Christmas gift.Is epoxy hard on your planer knives or touter bits? Your biggest fan :-)

@DIYMontreal

4 жыл бұрын

That's a great question and my answer is.... I don't know. Like you, I would imagine it's hard one the knives, but I didn't notice any added resistance when cutting on the table saw or the planer, so maybe not. I wonder if it makes a difference that I planed and cut them after only 2 days of drying vs. say 7 days when the epoxy would be fully cured and harder.

You use a molded piece 4" by 18"; what is the dimension of your final coaster. What is the measurement you use for the jig setup to cut the coasters? I just made your adjustable jig! Kudos.

Random, but did you happen to do the cabinets for your kitchen (you mention a kitchen renovation). if so, could you do a video on that?

Marie, did you keep the cast for the coasters are are they more of a one time use ?

So what's your opinion on this type of epoxy? I've seen it around before but haven't heard much of how it differs from the other brands

@DIYMontreal

4 жыл бұрын

I've never used other brands so it's hard to compare, but the fact alone that you don't need to use a blow torch or heat gun to pop the air bubbles after you pour (they clear up by themselves) is enough to make me want to use it. And it's made locally in Quebec, Canada!
