Amazing Table Top Finish! - Epoxy and Wipe On Poly = Hand Rub Oil Finish 

Right On Randy!!

​@RightOnJonCrane we recently tried this with an 8 ft piece of redwood. 5 days after the first coat application there are still a couple tacky areas. Is it safe to sand the tacky areas or is there a way we can solidify the areas that are still tacky. Thanks in advance.

Right On Roadking!! 👍🙌✨ Thank Ye Kindly!

Right On Terry!! 👍🙌

Thanks John!! 👍🙌

Right On Jake!! Sending my best to you and the fam!!

Right on Tom! 👍🙌 thank Ye kindly!!

Right on Big Vic!! Always a pleasure to see your comments here!! 👍🙌

Ha! That’s awesome 👏

Right On! 🙌 I’ll give that a try! I’m all for less toxic alternatives! Thanks!

Literally the only the thing that worked for me was vinegar and oil. Who would've thought freakin salad dressing lol

Right On Grant! This was from a local friends property here in WA state. I’m not quite sure where to source other than contacting smaller saw mill operations. 🪵🙌👍

After the epoxy sets up it takes a couple weeks for it to fully harden. It is very durable and yes you can put a coat of wipe on poly at any time! Can also lightly sand with scotch bright and then put on wipe on poly. I think it’s a great system.

Right On Matt!! The customer did not request legs. But I might make some for him down the road. 👍🙌

Right On! 🙌Thanks for watching! Yes, absolutely that would work great! One that base coat of epoxy is down and the grain is sealed you can put some wipe on finish!

Right On Joe! 🙌👍 Thanks for the binge watching!! 😃🙌✨

Ain’t that something!!

Right On Tom! The foreman is doing great!! Her favorite spot is in the shop! I just started back on the airstream this week so new videos soon!! 👍🙌

@@RightOnJonCrane tanks for the update(s)

Yes, if it’s an oil based polyurethane you can thin it with mineral spirits or paint thinner. I usually do 1-1 for wipe on. 3-1 for brush on. The wipe on is a little thinner. I have another video about epoxy and polyurethane and I go over the mixing for brushing it on in that video. But the wipe on is nice and easy with a 1-1 ratio. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! Right On! 🙌

Right On! 👍 Thanks. The wipe on poly will work outside but you have to make your own. 50/50 mixture of Outdoor Polyurethane and Mineral Spirits.

Sometimes I send in some stainless narrow crown staples through the bark if it looks like it is not attached well. Nice to get some epoxy to seep in before stapling. For the most part on this redwood the bark is well attached. 👍🙌

Hi Austin! I got those at West Marine. I know they have a store in Long Beach! Right at the marina.

@@RightOnJonCrane I’ll have to pick me up a pair then. Very nice video thank you!

It absolutely should, just like this table did with the poly applied

Right On Luke! 🙌✨ Roy just passing by to say hello! 👋🏻

Hi Tara, unfortunately if it is still tacky it most likely was not mixed enough. I have had it happen myself and it’s not fun. In my case I scraped and sanded till I got down to bare wood. It’s not that bad to do with a 6 inch random orbit sander. I start with 40 or 60 grit until the epoxy is gone then work back up through the grits. Best case is to use a mixing paddle on the drill. Mix slow as to not incorporate a lot of bubbles which is hard to do. The bubbles pop a little easier if the epoxy is warm. Sorry this happened but not the end of the world. When I sand off the old epoxy I go through a lot of sanding discs. Like a dozen. I buy it off Amazon. So much cheaper than Home Depot. 100 discs for $20. Hope this helps. Sending my best!

​@RightOnJonCrane ok. Thank you for the response! Can I just remove the tacky spots or do I have to do the entire thing all over again?

@@taralink7064 It could be just the tacky spots. Sometimes when you pour the epoxy on and when you scrape the sides of the cup to get everything out, that is where the unmixed epoxy is. You could try just the tacky spots but other spots might show later. Depends on how nice of a table? If it’s something you want for a lifetime then sand it all, if it’s a crafts table then give it a whirl! Hope it comes out great for you!

Two coats on the bottom is best!

I would for sure let the wood dry to prevent cracking down the road. These rounds were air drying for 5 years. A couple of these went to Arizona and they still split but it’s so dry down there. Thanks for watching!

Hi! Thanks for watching 🙌✨ Sometimes it depends on the sander. Different sanders can leave different patterns. It’s good to change the paper often. One thing to try is using soap and water when sanding. That can help. Another is to wet sand with the wipe on poly. Hope that helps!

@@RightOnJonCrane yes i gived it another try right now finish wet sanding an a first wipe on coat ..lets see how it end now ,thanks

I used 220 but you can work up to 350 or even higher for the final sand. Sometimes I go up to 1500 depending on the project.

Were do you buy the different grits of paper

Needs pepperoni 🍕!!
