Thanks for the Contest! I'm off to Stone Coat and The American Builder. I've been a woodworker for 30 years and am still learning from videos like yours and the ones you have shared. Thanks again, Gene from Grand Forks, N.D
Been working with these projects for a short time and on a small budget since retiring. I have fallen in love with epoxy resin tables. Thanks for all the wonderful tips.
Great video Paul. I never knew you could polish set epoxy resin so now I've got a bunch of old tired looking table tops to bring back to life. Your video is very much appreciated!!!
Dope. Thank you. Been playing around with resin during this fun quarantine, but most people's videos are, "pour some resin, you're done!". Thanks for actually explaining things. Stay healthy!
whether the contest is still going on or not, I wanted to drop you a quick thanks ! We're looking at getting started, and this is a perfect vid to help close the deal ! I showed him some Stone Coat vids during our visit this weekend, and he's looking forward to doing something creative with a Pecan and and Oak he had to take down recently. He slabbed them both, and has the slabs seasoning right now for next spring time, and we're looking at diving in . I happened across this vid this morning as I was getting started on my day, and wanted to reach out. Good luck joining up with American Builder !
Thank you Paul...this is a great video! I feel like no matter how hard I try there always seems to be some bug or tiny piece of dust. This will save me a great deal of trouble!
You always seem to be working on the projects that I am about to start. You have saved me tons of time and my results have great. Congrats on working with the American Builder! My bar top in the Bama room will look great with this stone coat epoxy. Thanks again!
Great video! I'm sharing this with my epoxy groups. We regularly have minor imperfections that stick out like a soar thumb. It can be difficult to explain how to polish and you nailed! Quick, informative and everything you need to know. I humbly admit it's better and faster than how I do it. Just awesome! Thank you.
Good job Paul, Good to know that you can sand and polish when its only a couple days old. I've always waited at least a week, but now I know that if need be I can get after it even sooner. Thanks Man.
Hey man. Great info. I'm just beginning my epoxy journey. Finding out that a whole lot can go wrong. Good to know you can fix some of it. Thanks again, Jeremiah Johnson
Biggest thing I've learned is that time to fix mistakes is longer that one might think. I was doing my floor and mixed too big a batch, which accelerated the Cure to the point where it was at gel stage as I was pouring. Because I was strong arming the material over the floor, I introduced massive bubbles. I tried removing them with a heat gun, but looking at the uneven surface and all the bubbles to clear, I gave up in disgust, thinking I was going to have to remove it. I came back about 4 hours later, it was cured enough to walk on, but just for giggles, I used the heat gun and to my surprise I could still work a lot of the bubbles. And it was pretty level.
@@Zomby_Woof thanks, I’m also just starting so this was very helpful. I won’t be doing floors though, at least not yet anyway. Just want to start with small tables or placemats. Any more advice would be well appreciated. Thanks again 😊
Hi Teresa, two things I want to make sure that you are doing this with StoneCoat And it works better if you let it cure for 30 days first. That’s how long it takes to get totally cured and hard.You can polish StoneCoat earlier than that but that is the recommended time frame.
Paul just watched your video on polishing, I use to work in a custom paint shop and we did it the same way. Now I think I'm going to start doing stonecoat
Thank you for the demonstration and education throughout. Much appreciated! 2 days after pouring my table top epoxy a large bubble formed and 2 large dog hairs landed on it so by the time i noticed them it was too late. I figured I would wait until my skills improved to try any of this. Much appreciated!
Paul I watched the Sand and Polish video and can now fix the blessed bugs. I poured a tabletop 5 times before I could produce an acceptable product. I had the Mayflys that wouldn't go away. Thanks for the video.
Hello from across the pond. Being a part timer or a weekend warrior as I've heard it being described, I dont have big work shop and dust settling on my top coat can be a real kill joy and it prevents me getting that top quality finish I want. This video has shown me that I can go back to all my finished products and sand out the dust in the cured top coats, bring them back up to a high gloss finish with out having to reapply more epoxy and struggle to keep more dust getting trapped in the epoxy. Thanks for the video I've subscribed to your channel so please keep 'em comin. Cheers
Man, I really appreciate that Douglas, I will be doing a lot more projects in the near future. I am going to be on the American Builder show every month and he always has projects. Have a great day! Paul
I think you answered my question in your video. Looking to get started in the epoxy world soon. Thanks for your service, brother (Firefighter/Engineer in Colorado) and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with the epoxy!
I have tried multiple products, pads, processes. Everything from lacqure, poly, wax (big mistake). I finally broke down and purchased this perfect it, pads and compounds. Used my spinning not DA polisher. Sanded with DeWault Orbital with Diablo pads at 150, 220, 320, and then the new sanding nets at 400 which I have to say left much less swirling and very impressed. Then wet sanded with the DA at 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, then a 3000 net type sponge pad. Cleaned between sanding with distilled water. Then ran through the 3M perfect it steps, 2 passes at each step on my river table which is Hard Maple with Famo Wood. I left one section as fresh pour. I cannot even tell where fresh begins and polished ends. Really works, after being really frustrated. Worth the money and actually process after sanding was as quick as the video. If your trying to polish resin bite the bullet and get this 3M Perfect It. I don't know or am not selling or pushing any of the products here. Just happy I got it working. By the way I stayed at 1500 on the polisher, stepped up to 2k a few times but kept surface cool and light on the polisher. Seriously cannot tell.
My phone is recommending videos based on conversations i just had. This is exactly what i needed to fix an epoxy table I made a few days ago. Thank you for making this video! 👍🏾
Thanks for the video. We have a shower wall that we did that got a glob of epoxy on it after we had had it drying for 3 days. We’re going to try your process. Wish us luck. This has been our first attempt using epoxy.
The demo was amazing. I am fairly new to using resin but am now I’m hooked. I recently had a bug in a particularly pleasing piece of art work and binned it as I did not know it could have been saved. Thank you for showing me how ........... loved the demo but sorry Elsie is the star of the show............ 😉
I have been in to wood for over 55 years but I am new to epoxy. Your video I know will come in hand I am sure. Thank you

I'm just starting to work with epoxy resin to be an awesome addition to the crafts I like to do, so your advice is very beneficial! Thank you!
Thank you. Your repair gave me hope for a burl wood epoxy table my husband made forty years ago. We have two areas of damage. Keep it up!!!
Thank you for the tip. I’ve recently started pouring resin and find the finishing work the trickiest. The right tools and work experience should help.

Nice tricks. You make it all look so easy. Having the right tools and knowledge makes a person very powerful. Thanks for empowering us.
As always, loved your video. Elsie is one adorable dog who loves her owner.
Awesome video.... Hope to see more epoxy projects down the road..... That table was sick........

why doesn't a dual action orbital polisher work?
Beautiful table! Thanks for all of your videos.
Very helpful! Im working to an epoxy project now
Great thanks Paul. This is really helpful as I’m spending a fortune by doing the extra resin flood coats.
Awesome table Paul! Thanks for the polishing tips!

Perfect timing like most of your stuff. Looking to make a coffee table for the office with weathered mesquite and epoxy. Keep up the great videos.

Great info now I can get my projects finished faster. Thanks.
Awesome work that I’ve seen you do
Thank you for this tip! This was exactly what I needed! Beautiful table too!
