I wanted to ask you how much hardner in a liter resin is inserted. Please tell me.Awais from Pakistan.
@@hitfitgadgets6642 It depends on the brand/type of epoxy you choose. Some are 1:1, while others are 2:1.
This color of Black Diamond is my favoris by far ! Thanks for sharing the vidéo.
CustoPoxy is it green blue ?
Very nice
Jeuwl Islam thank you! A more in depth part 2 coming soon
Hi buddy which chemical u used ?
Super 👍
thank you
Hi,
Great looking table, did you do your pour from the bottom of the table?

Enjoyed this video - - 2 questions - - First: What brand of resin would you recommend for a project such as this one **Second - What's your heat gun settings
I use Ecopoxy epoxy and a torch for most of it now
How can i buy epoxy pour ??
How did you shape the edges of your wood? They look fantastic!
Chamfer bit on a router and thank you
Amigo que tiempo debe esperar para aplicar la Segundo capa???
what do you use for the wood so that the expo stays or its going to stay by itself?
this is zebra wood
So does the epoxy adhere to the wood to form a solid table top or is weak where the epoxy meets the wood
epoxy adheres to the wood to form solid table.
@@johnj1842 thx i wanna try some of these projects
What type of finish would you use if it needed to be food safe. I am making a charcuterie board for a friend and am having a challenging time using different food safe oils (have both wood and epoxy to cover), and the oil never dries on the epoxy. I realize that most times a type of poly is used as a finish coating.
This is late but no epoxy is food safe regardless of the finish
Hello how are u???? I have a question how u make the edges on the wood??? Grinder????

You've applied heat gun while the epoxy was still in the mixing cup. How does that help???
removes the bubbles before the pour, less air pushed to the bottom the better
Awesome! The wood must be dry?
yes dry and clean
finishing coat oil nape pls
sabeer sha the new m m
What do you use to frame around the wood?
I use melamine from home depot
How long does it take for it to cure ? before your pour the second layer. thanks
Jack Allan hey, cure time depends on temperature but I usually leave the pour until the next day or about 12hrs in between. If your trying to do it quickly you can pour the next layer as soon as the first is hard to the touch.
Looking for advice, I want a good little system for buffing my epoxy tables and am a little stumped. I have a 5" orbital sander and thought I could just find hook and loop pads to just stick to it and go to town but that doesn't seem to be a thing on Amazon "in Spain". I see a lot of car guys using angle grinders, is it just best to but a hook and loop adapter and add it to the grinder then get the more like 6 or 7" pads I see for those? By the way, I will have an angle grinder that I can turn the speed down on if need be. All help appreciated! :-)
It’s not ideal to use a grinder obviously. I would rather just get the 6” pads and trim them down to 5” and use it on your sander. I would also recommend checking out my other epoxy River video it’s newer and covers proper sanding.
@@ToolsThatBuild Ok good deal, I definitely like the idea of using the orbital sander rather than the grinder.
How much of both will I need? Please and thank you
Neha Kumari depends what your making
Can you tell me about how long it took your first pour to cure before you poured the second ?
I leave it over night before pouring the next layer
Do you sand between layers if so what grit
do we need to wait for the first layer to be harden before pouring the second layer on top of the first layer?
You want it tacky to the point you can leave a slight print on it with a gloved finger for your next pours, if it hardens completely you'll need to rough it up with 220, clean dust, then pour again.
@@darren1139 thanks, got it.

Why do multiple layers need to be used? Is it because a single layer that is twice as thick will not set correctly? How thick of a layer can be used?
What kind of wood was this? It's beautiful, but every place I've been to try to find a piece like like would be hundreds of dollars. Where can I find something like that?
This is red zebra wood and I got it at Windsor plywood.
How much (in grams od cm3) of metallic powder do you use per litre of epoxy for this effect? I am figuring out how much powder to purchase but i have no idea how much powder actually goes into colouring of epoxy?
Hi, It really depends on the brand of pigment powder your using, different mica powders are different microns (size) so require different amounts. It also depends on the type of epoxy your using ( deep pour or a regular art/tabletop resin). Most people put in way to much and it shows, less is more especially when layering. You can start with a 1/4 tsp at a time until you get the desired color and transparency. Keep in mind if your layering regular epoxy each layer will thicken and darken the color. Feel free to reply with the type of mica powder and epoxy and ill see if I can help get a better answer.
@@ToolsThatBuild thank you so much for this answer! I was thinking about GlassCast 50 (for deep casting-like river tables or serving boards) and Ecopoxy metallic pigments.... But i am still looking into pigments...
Kaja Klemenc how many liters of epoxy will your project use? Ecopoxy mica powder micron range is 80-100. Try checking out black diamond pigments (no affiliation) there is also a liquid pigment dye that is translucent if your attempting to have a more realistic water look. With all of them you could start small mechanically mix and add as you go to get the depth of color
I used a torch after, no bubbles...... during curing time near edges it has small foam bubbles forming. Any thoughts? Videos I've seen no one has this issue. I use total boat 2:1
Hey yes so two things, how deep are you pouring? Did you seal the wood and allow it to cure before you did any of the pours? I recommend watching part 2 it shows a lot of little tricks to prevent exactly that stuff from happening
@@ToolsThatBuild no I didn't seal it, it's kiln dried cedar, blew all the dust before hand, I'll seal it next try. 3/4 of an inch pour. Thank you
@@grimreaper419420 ya the wood will slow release air even when the epoxy is partially cured so no matter how well you torch it you’ll end up with air if it’s not sealed. Unless your using their “thickset deep pour” you shouldn’t be pouring deeper than 1/2” at a time. Pouring too deep will cause the epoxy to get hotter than intended causing more air release. I have two other epoxy videos I really think would help you. -River pour part 2 and -casting epoxy resin
What's the red plastic called?
You mean what's on the mold? It's sheething tape. Look for it near the insulation at home depot or Lowe's it's about 11 dollars a roll.
What kind the tape do you prefer?
Xsawera Xsawera I always use sheathing tape usually tuck tape brand.
What does that red tape called?
Manuel Garcia tuck tape it’s the tape used to
Seal vapor barriers on homes
How many gallons did you use for this table?
Dakota Banner to be honest I don’t remember how big this pour was. It’s easy to figure out how much you need though. It’s Length (L) X Depth (D) by Average Width (AVG W) ev. 48”x2”x12”= 1,152 cubic inches
what is the name of the film for the mold?
Called "Tuck Tape" you can also use Tyvek Tape from Home Depot
Anyone able to tell me where to get the resin cheap? Or at least a brand that's generally cheaper
Sam Seibert I suggest eBay
That’s where I purchased mine
Sam Seibert total boat is good and stone coat is good and decent prices
Why do you pour two layer ???? Plzz reply
Different epoxy’s have different max depths. This particular pour is done with a table top epoxy which has a max depth of 1/2” so it requires two layers to get it all the way to full. If you over pour the epoxy will get too hot and won’t cure properly. They do make deeper pouring epoxies now (see my other videos) that can be poured deeper in a single pour.
Hello again , how u make the edges??? Grinder?

How much resin is typically used??
Depends on your piece. Measure the gap width in 4-6 inch increments, multiplying by the length and height to get the volume, then add all the lengths together to get an estimate.
This video looks like 2-3 litres
Das wäre gut geworden, wenn sie die Kratzer besser entfernt und das Endprodukt gezeigt hätten. So ist es nur klasse

English please
You don’t show the exact pigment name !!!
Was it green/blue ?
The pigment is Bora Bora Blue by Black Diamond Pigments
Tools That Build great it’s blue/green thanks
itai Itay it’s not blue green its bora bora
Flood coat the top
Never flood coat.
@@ToolsThatBuild why?
truth h personal preference. I find it a lazy way to finish it. I prefer the natural wood rather than a plastic coating on the wood that scratches easily.
