    I feel like a really dark stain on the wood would've helped make the epoxy look better
  • @cgjeff
    Always gotta remember with epoxy it's pour depth AND volume, if you exceed the max on either, and don't have it under intense cooling, you're gonna have a bad time. Really good reason why the Black Forest guys just started their own epoxy line, and why their deep pour room is hardcore air conditioned, and if I remember right they pour with the mold on top of a big aluminum plate with standing air conditioners beneath it. It's all about heatsinking so you don't get thermal runaway.
  • I was expecting the cracks to be filled with a dark epoxy, just to make "intentional inclusions." But pretty cool that the existing tinted product was still available to fill those cracks. Definitely stopped the puck right on the goal line with this build.. lol

    I reckon if you'd stained the wood a few shades darker, kinda antique pine it mightve helped the logo stand out some more🤔
  • @bnelly1987
    It’s a shame how this one turned out, but a good lesson learned I guess. I really do appreciate you guys posting this and mistakes that are made in the process of your projects. Glad that you are willing to share those with us. We probably learn more for the mistakes than we do from the successes.
  • @davidfitwe
    Really surprised you haven't invested in a water cooled table yet, I don't think this is the first time you could have used it.
  • The one project “Let us Spray” could’ve been replaced with “Spray and Pray”

    Hey man, i have no idea how to get ahold of you I create content full time on twitch. my house burnt down live on stream in January. my family heirloom table was scorched in the process but is still intact and has a cool char on it. I would love to be able to send it to you for you to create a new table with the burned one. this would mean the world to me! PLEASE. i have no time limit I dont care if it takes you a year. they just finished deconstruction so we dont plan to be back in the house for another 6 months. Love the vid man! God Bless
  • @AndrewKleinWW
    It sure turned out a whole lot better than I thought it was going to half way though the video, nice work!
  • Personal, learning from mistakes are priceless. The fact your still keeping-using is gargantuan. That’s right gargantuan! Everyday looking at the perception of wrong, inspired. Love it. Keep being squrealle.
  • I’m thinking adding either all white led lights on the underside, or maybe a mix of blue and red? Idk. Would really make those colours brighten up. Could be worth a try. Shine a flashlight under there and see how it looks
  • @51polarlax
    Thanks for sharing this with us. It's not everyday "influencers" share their failures and mistakes
  • I've been able to reuse resin from scraps by shaving the resin into resin chips and adding them to a different pour, and you usually won't be able to see them. It has saved me a ton of money on pours.
  • Solid salvage effort boys! haha, I will say when I made my river table, I had a lot of luck using a $2-$3 syringe to inject epoxy into those more pesky cracks/voids after surfacing. Makes a notable difference in how well it penetrates the void and how easy sanding is later. Hope that helps!
  • I think for the blue side, you would have done either 1 blue bucket or 2 blue buckets and the other buckets clear. This would have allow the clear stay light and shine. However, I still love it! Nice job you guys!
  • Love the logo in the middle! I looks like you planned it that way!
  • @nekocal
    I love seeing people that are sort of great kinda blow it and then recover. We all make mistakes but we don't always realize we all make mistakes. Somehow, in a way I can't quite articulate, the world needs more of this video.
  • I use super clear as well its great to pour 4 5 inches but you need to drop the shop temperature in the room. Also if your doing deep pours make a table that you can chill. It helps draw some heat away.
  • Great cover up. You take on some crazy projects. Love it! Whenever using a light color on dark woods I use a white primer first which makes the colors true and it makes the epoxy look opaque.
