I absolutely love this and the details you provided were on point Thanx so much! Can you give an idea of time intervals? Such as the time from finishing your artwork to the time you poured the clear?
For just the edge of the table? I used primer, but I recommend painting with a color similar to what you’re tinting the epoxy so that it blends in better.
I’m having trouble when it finally dries there is little bubbles all around the tv tray. I didn’t torch it because I have adhesive vinyl on it also. I don’t know what to do
I’m sorry your dealing with this bubbles can be frustrating. Sanding it and recoating it can fix the bubbles. Epoxy will always bubble and that’s why heat must be used to pop them out. You can use a heat gun instead of a torch. You may also try a kitchen lighter, they are not as ínstense as a torch. When I’m working with an epoxy that bubbles a lot I try to pop the bubbles up until the end of the working time. For example if my resin has a 40 minute working time I torch it for the last time at 40 Minutes, that way there’s no bubbles when it starts curing. In your case try using a heat gun or a kitchen lighter.
Hi, I love the look of this table. My question is if I used the dark green as a primer would the resin look different? in other words does the primer color matter? Second, would taping the bottom before the pour and peeling it off after about 2 hours prevent the drips?
Sorry for the late reply. The base color might reflect through the resin a bit and it will definitely show the sides. I did a similar table and used dark green instead and it came out much better. Taping is a good technique and will avoid you having to cut the drips. You have to make sure you remove the tape within 24 hours or even less if the epoxy is dry enough. 2 hours might work but you have to be careful not to ruin the pour on top. If the epoxy cures completely the tape becomes challenging to remove.
just a tidbit, I also did a couple of tables and found that if you use a latex rubber on the bottom of table it is much easier to remover the drips from the bottom of table also.
I have a question, How much would someone be willing to pay for a dirty pour resin foldable tv tray. I have one that i posted recently for $125. knowing I probably will have to go down to say about $75-$85. but two people have tagged my post with a HaHa emoji. so concerned that my price might be to high. located in Western Ma. lower income sm. rural towns
Remember that what you’re selling is your Art. I’ve charged $120 full price for them, but the materials cost come out to be around $50, so that’s not a huge profit considering the amount of time spent on it. I’ve sold them for $70 when is to a friend that I don’t want to charge much. But $125 it’s more than a fair price.
Glad I saw this, 3 yrs late but just in time.. I have 2 trays that need repair, so this'll be an excellent project. Thanks for the idea.
You’re welcome good luck with your trays 😃
That brown green and grey is my favorite color combo
Thanks ☺️
I like it!❤
Absolutely Beautiful!
Thank you ☺️
I don't like the fast pace, it makes me anxious. I like your other videos, they relax me. Beautiful work though 👏
I love your tutorials. They are very informative. Please keep making more!
Sarah Radtke Absolutely, thank you so much!
It looks so good! You are very talented! I've never used resin, but now I'm getting curious about it - maybe I'll do a beginner project
Thank you! Resin is fun and but it takes practice. Good luck on your first project 😊
Hi this looks amazing, can you do this with normal end tables
Thank you 😊. Yes you can do with normal end tables as long as it’s prepped (sand, prime, etc)
Great work. Keep it up!!
Thank you 😊
I love it. Easy tutorial.
Thanks!

Thank you!, I normally wait 24 hours before I sand, and then I clear coat right after sanding.
What do you cover the tray with while it’s curing?
I built a frame out of PVC and cover it with painters plastic
What edge treatment do you suggest for tv tray resin projects? Paint it? Thanks

I love it. ❤️
Thank you 😊
I did not know you could use spray paint with this process.
GORGEOUS! Question:after you sand the resin dropping on the other side with the Dremel tool.. do you coat or spray that side so it's smooth?
I don’t sand it since it’s the bottom. It’s mostly smooth, but it can be sanded to make it smoother.

how many ounces of clear epoxy did you use?
I do not remember since I sometimes eye ball the amount I need for a full project. I normally end up with some extra 😬
