5 EPOXY Tips I Wish I Knew As A Beginner!

There's no way to definitively gauge how many times you just saved future me from completely screwing up multiple slabs and attempts at epoxying, but let's just play it conservative and say 43. Awesome, info packed, BS free video, love your humor and your presentation was amazing, this was exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time do this, hugely appreciated!!

As someone who works in the epoxy industry I would say some things that are super important are: The resin / hardener ratios are as close as can be. I never ever measure with volume. Always measure by weight. Also when mixing be sure to get the sides and corners of the vessel scraped down. It is always best to mix with a slower folding method when time allows as it introduces less bubbles and provides a better mix. If possible i pour out of the mixing vessel through a filter which surprisingly can help eliminate bubbles as well. There are a million nuances that can be learned, but these are some things I've learned over the last 15 or so years doing this stuff that i didn't hear on here. You guys do great work and i really enjoy the content.

Looked for every video out there on epoxy. Found yours after i bought an overpriced kit with scan code instructions. On the box i burned. And it continued to go sideways from there. DO NOT rush into this and plan properly. You sir have a quality channel. Good Work.

The main thing I got from you was to realize how little I know ... that's a good thing, so thank you. I also love the fact that I recently told someone that I don't mind giving my "secrets" away. First, because there are no "secrets" in copper work and second, because I always get more back that I can put forth. Your video is a prime example. Again, thank you!!

Working on a coffee table at home between college trimesters and thinking of doing some epoxy detail on the top. This video was super helpful on thinking on how I want to do it. Thank you!

2 years of my life have gone by without me finding this video. Dude - you are hysterical. Even though I dnt do a fraction of the things you do (I do small crafts & searched for a video about epoxy & this came up) I continued to watch bc it was purely entertainment on top of extreme intelligence. Amazing stuff man. Smart as a whip. And the entertainment was the icing on the cake. Def had me hit the subscribe button. (And you're easy on the eyes 👀 - lucky wife LOL) ZERO DISRESPECT. Can't wait for the next 1!

Thanks for a video that really breaks down some of these questions! What's your process to rid bark and all the other crap you want to get rid of on the slab? Whats your product of choice for prepping the edges of the slab before a pour?

1st timer. When he said “ the point of this segment is to READ THE LABEL” I subscribed. lmao I like this guy. Wed be friends

Thank for taking the time to share your knowledge and tips. I've been doing commercial counters for a few years for my own small stores and it's always just been trial and error. Your video will be very helpful in aiding me to greatly improve my pours. I'm a general contractor, home builder and have a lot of wooden boat building experience but love doing larger epoxy projects and look forward to doing a large rive table in the near future. Thank you for saving me from myself. You're the best.

The layout of tools in the back is so soothing!!!

As a complete noob about to do my first epoxy project, this was very helpful thank you.

Great video. I am looking at doing my first epoxy project and you explained the process so well. I will most likely watch this video again before I start. Keep up the great work.

Actually going to be doing my first ever attempt doing a countertop, and this was a MASSIVE help. Thanks for all the solid info!

Ive been wanting to get into epoxy and I'm glad I remember this video. Good thing is I used to be an auto detailer so I'm great at the sanding, buffing and polishing process!

I’ve often thought about doing epoxy work, but now I know not go in lightly. Props on a solid video, sir.

I'm 28. Live edge design is my passion. I need woodworking to breath. This is invaluable information to me. Thanks for making this.

A great help, very informative thank you from across the pond in the UK.

I want to thank you for all your very educational and entertaining videos. You do a lot of the work I would enjoy doing myself. I have been running into many issues trying to get epoxies to flow out and make my projects look great. I really only do table tops and poor less than 1/8 inch at one time.

Great video. Have done a couple river tables and dozens of bowls with table top epoxy. To get a satin finish on top of a deep pour or table top finish I just sand at 320 grit then use a buffing compound then paste wax. Or I just use a buffing compound instead of the sanding depending on the degree of gloss. You gave GREAT detail!

Absolutely great video, I'm doing my first river table top at 42x84+-, this is helping me immensely
