The best? 🤣 this guy messed every stage up, threw about 10ltr on as a flow coat... then sanded the entire thing back to the first coat🤣🤣🤣😂😂 then you gave totally bogus advice and introduced water into the equation, No!! don't put anything into water with epoxy. If you need to heat epoxy do so by dry means of heat and try to stabilise it so its done over a period of time. Its more important to match the surface you're pouring onto with the epoxy you are pouring on. What do I know though I'm only a 4 decade boat builder who's used probably 30'000-50'000 ton of epoxy over the years and built maybe 150-200 home projects including a 35ft long dining table from a split section of Scottish Oak that sold for £28k. This guy doesn't have a clue and should not have made this vid claiming he did. If his desired finish was wax "brushed" or satin look (ive no idea what exact look this is other than a complete F-up) then a simple feeding in of epoxy on the knots, gaps and greedy bits followed by two thin barrier coats, roughed back with 180 then waxed for whatever reason you'd put wax over epoxy😂 litteraly a 3hr Job. This vid is ridiculous and he's showing the basic stuff that even the entry level epoxy educational vids cover within the first 3 mins. Bogus vid and your praising of this vid is just as bogus.

I’m preparing to put epoxy resin on a round dining table and three leaves that I’ve just built. Of all the videos on this topic, this one appears to be the best. I’m very worried about keeping the inside edges of the table and leaves clean and the use of packing tape looks to Ephesus a great solution. How long should I wait to remove it? Also, should I remove the tape after the seal coat and re-apply it for the flood coat or simply wait until both coats are on? I’m concerned that when I go to remove the tape it will break off instead of the epoxy.

You will find in the end that epoxy finishes are the worst error in finishing you will ever encounter. They do not wear well and any heat, even the heat from a hot bowl of soup placed on an epoxy top will soften and distort the finish. Epoxy is super expensive, time consuming to apply, messy and all show at the start with no go in the end. You can purchase a butcher block patterned top for next to nothing made of Formica which is nearly indestructible and will last for decades. In a year or two you will look back and say, "What was I thinking?"

I'd recommend using a 1/4 inch notched trowel to spread out the epoxy instead of using a straight edged applicator. This will help ensure the epoxy thickness is similar everywhere and when you quickly repeat spreading the epoxy, you will also be mixing and re-mixing the epoxy while you are applying it.

Welcome back. Nice to see you are back posting videos. I have used epoxy in the marine and aviation settings, counter tops would be new for me. But I did do a water proof desktop. I put a 6 oz. fiberglass cloth down to get at least a 15 mil film thickness. Then built up from there for a nice sheen. A heatgun works very well to get rid of the bubbles, all you are doing is heating the surface to make it more viscous so the surface tension is reduced therefore causing the bubbles to pop. Another trick is put the mixed epoxy in a vacuum chamber and draw a vacuum therefore removing the bubbles from the epoxy. Paint pots make good vacuum chambers for doing this.

using a drill mixer has always given me a fully mixed container - i always make sure to run the mixing attachment up and down and all around the sides and completely along the bottom a few times to be sure but it eliminates epoxy sticking the large surface area of a flat stirring stick. Downside is it introduces a lot more air into the mix which isn't a problem if you have a vacuum chamber or you are doing a deep pour and can let the mix sit for 45 minutes before pouring to allow all the air bubbles to come up to the surface - but definitely can't do this with a table deep (shallow pour) epoxy mix that only has 15-20 minutes of working time.

As so many tutorials have recommended, yours is the first video I have seen that advises to you clear packing take and shows how much easier this makes life. THANK YOU! fyi its genius.
The top looks great, no doubt about that. I didn't see if you epoxied the bottom side though, if not, wouldn't you be afraid of the wood expanding and contracting and eventually cracking the epoxy? I don't know, never worked with any of this before, so I'm just asking a question.
I always wondered how the epoxy holds up over time. It's really pretty when its new. Looks like you did this video 3 years ago, how is it looking today?
Did you kiln dry the wood or was it air dried?
Good for you both. You deserve so much credit for building your own home. Great effort.
This is SUPER helpful as I am going to do my first epoxy project! Can you tell me how many coats you did? My project is just for a charcuterie board, lol but still wanna do it right! 👍🏼
So same footage for the last three vidoes. Why bother?
Theres the door!
@@jedidiah5131 Which door, Jesse? Air gap door? Or should we go through the french doors? Finish the house already
Slow stirring - also helps to prevent inclusion of air bubbles. I guess you could also optimize the pouring to prevent that. Interesting video, btw. Nicely done.
I’m preparing to put epoxy resin on a round dining table and three leaves that I’ve just built. Of all the videos on this topic, this one appears to be the best. I’m very worried about keeping the inside edges of the table and leaves clean and the use of packing tape looks to Ephesus a great solution. How long should I wait to remove it? Also, should I remove the tape after the seal coat and re-apply it for the flood coat or simply wait until both coats are on? I’m concerned that when I go to remove the tape it will break off instead of the epoxy.
Pull your tape while the epoxy is still tacky
Could you tell What you used prior to epoxy. Stain?
That turned out beautiful! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for making this. Great info!
Hi I have a question Does the epoxy covers yellow spots on wood.? Thank you
Thanks for the video. I would love to see more detail on how you got the matte finish.
Just wet sand it with 600 grit. Wipe off the slurry with mineral spirits and paper towel. Boom. Done.
hey i got a question, is it possible to put resin on top of varnish?
Tip 10; wear gloves. And long sleeves. And ventilate your space. You are working with chemicals, treat them with respect
I have pits in the second seal coat. What would cause that?
THANKS! Excellent for this DIY newcomer.
Very helpful information! thank you!
Thanks for the epoxy dyi hints.
Can I use a spray laquer on the wood as a base coat? My problem is I only have enough epoxy for 4 square feet and I'm way to far in the bush to go get more.
How much are you mixing at a time to pour the whole top?
You will find in the end that epoxy finishes are the worst error in finishing you will ever encounter. They do not wear well and any heat, even the heat from a hot bowl of soup placed on an epoxy top will soften and distort the finish. Epoxy is super expensive, time consuming to apply, messy and all show at the start with no go in the end. You can purchase a butcher block patterned top for next to nothing made of Formica which is nearly indestructible and will last for decades. In a year or two you will look back and say, "What was I thinking?"
excellent info.. thank you!
Hey thank you so much for those tips
So satisfying to watch and informative. Awesome vid.
Thank you for this amazing information!
What if you pull the tape off before it's fully dry will it make for a sharper edge?
I'd recommend using a 1/4 inch notched trowel to spread out the epoxy instead of using a straight edged applicator. This will help ensure the epoxy thickness is similar everywhere and when you quickly repeat spreading the epoxy, you will also be mixing and re-mixing the epoxy while you are applying it.
Ohh he needs a lot more advice than that😂 dude sanded back his last 2 coats and a heafty barrier coat to basically the first coat.. then brushed it and threw wax on hahahahaha. Guy basically applied about 15ltr of epoxy then sanded it all off to get a finish that could be done within 3hr. Embarrassing
OP, can you tell me what epoxy you used for your flood coat?
Thanks for posting this. Very informative. 🙂
We have a table we painted white, then sealed with clear epoxy. Question is, do we really need to sand before the flood coat? My concern is that the sanding marks will show through the topcoat because it is clear. Or, will another coat of clear cover the scratches from the sanding? I know I should have used white epoxy first.
Awesome. Looks great. thanks for the tips.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Tips start @ 2:55
THANK YOU!
Did the first coat dry before the flood coat?
Nice! Thanks!!
I like all of your videos and all the great work you both have done on your place It's coming along great .
Thank you for this
Hello there, thanks for sharing 😊 I want to try myself. I appreciate you guys for making this video. How’s the house 🏠?
Man, you did an Awsome job at keeping to the point and being honest!! 😊🥇🌻
Is this epoxy hard enough to write on with out leaving marks ?
Thanks for sharing!
Great to see a video. Wanting to see more. Missing the build of pure living for life. Hope this is the start of the videos. Don't wait so long.
This is super helpful!!
Ur presentation is simply awesome. 💯
You need wax to protect the epoxy?
Great tips. Thanks
How would you do a long top w/ a field joint?
More click bait!
Welcome back. Nice to see you are back posting videos. I have used epoxy in the marine and aviation settings, counter tops would be new for me. But I did do a water proof desktop. I put a 6 oz. fiberglass cloth down to get at least a 15 mil film thickness. Then built up from there for a nice sheen. A heatgun works very well to get rid of the bubbles, all you are doing is heating the surface to make it more viscous so the surface tension is reduced therefore causing the bubbles to pop. Another trick is put the mixed epoxy in a vacuum chamber and draw a vacuum therefore removing the bubbles from the epoxy. Paint pots make good vacuum chambers for doing this.
hey guys, I have a question: you mentioned that the epoxy wont stick to that clear tape. I would like to do a table, put a tons of stickers all over and then seal it with epoxy. No I am wondering if it is going to work. I just sended the table, now i am planning to paint it, then put the stickers on and then coat it with epoxy. Will this work? thanks
Another rerun...Somethings wrong. I hope your ok
Haha, carnauba wax to "protect" epoxy
Exactly!!! Puts epoxy on table top, gets it completely finished and looking as it should.......... then BAM! We decided to sand it off with a fine grit sandpaper Lolol like why even go through the trouble.
Yeah, the "Big Guys" use wax too, so...
Oh look old footage again! I understand you guys may need a break for whatever reason...but don't you think you owe the viewers an explanation of why you have been MIA for so long!?
How many coats of carnauba wax?
Many many thanks. Subscribed.
using a drill mixer has always given me a fully mixed container - i always make sure to run the mixing attachment up and down and all around the sides and completely along the bottom a few times to be sure but it eliminates epoxy sticking the large surface area of a flat stirring stick. Downside is it introduces a lot more air into the mix which isn't a problem if you have a vacuum chamber or you are doing a deep pour and can let the mix sit for 45 minutes before pouring to allow all the air bubbles to come up to the surface - but definitely can't do this with a table deep (shallow pour) epoxy mix that only has 15-20 minutes of working time.
Thanks for the video
[ YES YOU ARE BACK ] I missed your video of your journey from the old ford and caravan pulling up to all you have done come a long way and got to go a long way yet . [ THANK YOY FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY WITH AS ]
You sand between coats?
Love this
I've been with you since you salvaged the corrugated tin roof off of the old "barn" that would soon be torn down. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you.
Hey guys ... What have you two been up to this winter? Oh and enjoyed the video as much as the first.
Fantastic
Question: I get wanting to salvage expensive overflow epoxy, but aren't you reintroducing some contaminants that may have run off with it on its first pass? Wood particles, dust, hair strand, etc...
yeah but it's gonna be here anyway
Amazing video thanks guys
Thank u
I've used a blow dryer and while it took out the bubbles it blew dust on it!
Yay! Been missing you guys, glad to see you back, hope all is well, and looking forward to updates. Thanks Jesse and Alyssa, I appreciate you :)
Bravo to hard (easily frustrating) work... The finished product is simply amazing. I have a butcher block cutting board that's going (strong) on 50yrs, so done right, durability will last for years... My dream kitchen would have any and all countertops butcher block. Miss you guys hope and prayers y'all are well💜 ☮️💜😊
Put plastic down instead of newspapers. wear gloves, don't scrape out the last bit of epoxy of the bucket. it could be not mixed correctly so best to leave it in the bucket. use a propane torch to eliminate bubbles by fanning above the surface. mix it till your arm is sore. then it's mixed. I've used epoxy for 25 years.
torching is outdated :)
Did you actually watch the video? That was what they did. Those tips were the entire point of the video.
@@martinw245 I did watch the video. He got most of it right.
It is good that you went back to the butcher block top and explain what your mistakes were so everyone that watches you that are planning on a project just like yours can do it correctly. I still say Jesse you would make a good educator. God Bless you and Alyssa.
yep, using the iphone timer to get the mixing times correct. 6 minutes , then a 2nd 6 minutes, then 15 mins to apply before hardening.
Why didnt you use polyurethane on wood? Kind of wasteful using expensive epoxy (clear at that) on a butcherblock. Several coats of "wipe on poly" would work great and keep some of the natural grain pattern.
Did you pretreatment the wood?
I've been mixing epoxy at multiple jobs for over a decade and have never seen anyone use two containers to mix it nor have I ever had that problem. You're definitely not mixing it well enough
actually the two container method was a solution it soft spots and is gaining popularity among the do it yourself market, that bigger than the professional market
Grasping...
Theres the door!
After watching this, I'm guessing you will opt for concrete countertops upstairs?
William Pachol lol I don’t know if they’ll built it themselves if they don’t
Again, again and again the same old BS!!!!!!
I absolutely love the idea of doing all this work yourself. Do you need building permits or foresee any problem selling the property if that ever happens? I’m a new homeowner and new to this kinda stuff.
I'd assume you may need permits but there are some areas that don't require pulling permits, especially in the country areas. I could be wrong but my dad said they never pulled permits in the boonies. In cities for sure, you have to pull a permit to redo a bathroom or sometimes to even dismantle a deck. Some of it is a money grab but most of it's for safety reasons. I've been on jobs with my dad that homeowners have done and clearly just winged it, some very sketchy, not up to code stuff.
Buddy..building permits are a complete joke
At 1:14 in the video what app where you all using?
A roller to spread epoxy they used on my counter tops
Ohh and use rollers to push the epoxy about hence then u get smoothness when u have enough epoxy on your surface
i like my epoxy pushed by hand. using gloves of course but still
What is the sound in the background at 8:10?
A Cookout tip, same as your dropcloth or shower curtain with 2x sides fill with ice and guest have a place to put cold food, remove one end to drain.
Hey Jesse hey Alyssa thank you for the video very educational I definitely want to work with a foxy down the road in in my whole entire lock cabin house with epoxy but I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that now because watching your video it is very difficult to work with it
There is one thing i don't get. Why pouring epoxy when it is not to fill a "void" but to put on a "thin" layer. My dad always painted it on with a roler and he always had a perfect finish wihout the mess... I don't see anny difference.... He always did multiple layers on the decks of our small competition boats and it always looked perfect. And from what i learned is that you should to the underside too to prevent warping.
mainly because they have no idea what they are doing. They are not driving instructors, we are watching the multi car pile-up...
