5 MORE Epoxy Tips I Wish I Knew As A Beginner!

I just retired from the Army Special Forces. Ive watched pretty much every video you guys have put out. I just wanted to let you guys know what any inspiration you've been to my woodworking. Thank for all the badass videos you put out. You're videos have helped me become a better craftsman. I look forward to your future content. STAY SQUARELY!!!

Thank you for your continued quality content. I appreciate your honest presentations, especially mistakes you've learned from along the way. I especially appreciated the last bonus tip about liquid vs. powder pigment. That was something I was not aware of, and something I will not forget.

I find that a REALLY good tip is to let the pros mess it up first, and learn from their mistakes.

Excellent video as always. Well presented and clearly explained, good sense of humor and no annoying music. Keep em coming.

I’ve used Pam for years on fiberglass molds and it works great 👍.

Great informative vid John. Thanks.

Great tips, John! Can't wait to see you use these tips in your upcoming projects!

Great compilation. Just a little addition on the pigment stuff, for liquid colorants there are color pastes and inks. Color pastes are pigments suspended in an oil wich makes for a better mixing and you don't get any lumps or clusters of pigments. And inkts or tints are liquid colorants without pigments or really really fine pigments, those can move into the wood. You can also make your own color pastes from your pigments if you have issues with lumps. Or you premix the pigments in the resin part before adding the hardener, so you get all the time you need to properly mix the pigments in.

I love it when tips are big and thick.

Great video and awesome tips. Thank you so much for sharing John.

love your content John and team keep it up!

Fantastic tips, John! Thanks a lot! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

You're a book of knowledge when it comes to wood working. Love the information

I love very much how you teach products and everything.

Great content. Regarding the silicone drying issue you have had in the past, you need to pay attention to two factors: First is Tack time / Skin Time, this is generally the short time i.e. 30 minutes (marketing "rain ready in 30 mins") but watch for the "full cure time" which is usually 12-24 hours.

Great video! I've worked with epoxy for over three year now and, like you, have learned some painful lessons. Bonus tip #...lost track: HAND MIX DEEP POUR EPOXY. This will eliminate 90% of the bubbles. Power mixers entrain air into the mix. All other bubbles will rise to the surface when done correctly.

Thank you for all the tips. You really help me begin my project.

For with the live edge. If there's bark involved, Total Boat has a Penetrating Epoxy that helps seal it on, before the normal epoxy is applied.

Thanks for all the great tips!

This man knows his stuff!! hey helped me with my first ever pour when I was making my floating desk!! Love your vids brother keep up the awesome vids! <3
