In this video I go over how I finish epoxy flood coats. Granted these are steps that I use and that work for ME and you may or may not have the same outcome with the same products.
I did however come to the conclusion that sanding to higher grits on tightly grained woods could possibly make it easier on you when applying a flood coat. In the boards I’ve made in the past sanding to 4000 grit may indeed be useless on wood like walnut or other similar woods.
I am by no means an expert in this area, just learning by trial and error and sharing my experiences along the way. If you would like to watch an expert on epoxy tables go check out ‪@BlacktailStudio‬ his work is unmatched!

Quick question - why use the table coat expoxy if you're going to sand it again? is it a harder more durable material?

@greentreewoodworks6172 Год назад

So sometimes you have to do multiple coats. For instance, this board had some ripples and other imperfections in it and the only way to fix that is to sand it smooth and pour another coat. But yes, table coat epoxy is generally reserved for 1/4” and less thick applications like bar tops and is much thicker allowing it to dry quicker and stick to vertical surfaces like the sides of the board. The deep pour epoxy is just as durable it would just be too runny to stay in place long enough to dry.

I can't believe there aren't any comment! That is beautiful!

@greentreewoodworks6172 Год назад

Thank you so much!

Wow, another beautiful board. You know more about these boards than I’ll ever know, but running a paint stirrer along the bottom of your board as it’s curing will at least minimize your sanding on the drips. Thanks for the amazing videos and inspiration.

PLEASE tell me how to manage micro bubbles. No matter what I do, I can't get rid of them. Also can you please tell me how to place handles with a kreg jig and countersink bit?

@waterlilly62lori 6 месяцев назад

I tried the tape, but it just gets stuck with the epoxy on it

How did you make this 2 sided cutting board..it is beautiful

@greentreewoodworks6172 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! It’s the same process I use for all my serving trays. I have a whole tutorial video on how I make these trays on my page. The tutorial shows coffee beans cast into the tray but the process will be similar for most objects. Go check it out and thanks for watching!

Why did you drill holes for the handles on top and bottom?

@greentreewoodworks6172 6 месяцев назад

The bolts for the handles I used go all the way through the board. The very bottom of the hole needs to be slightly larger for the screw head to fit flush. So I used a slightly larger drill bit to do this with.

HOW did you get your epoxy so clear?? I've tried everything and cannot get rid of micro-bubbles

@greentreewoodworks6172 6 месяцев назад

A lot of it has to do with the brand epoxy. Other variables are temperature, the speed at which the epoxy was mixed, and you could even overheat your project while trying to get the micro bubbles out causing more bubbles. It does take practice like everything else in life. I wasted $700 worth of epoxy on a project one time.

@waterlilly62lori 6 месяцев назад

Omgosh!!! I'm so sorry. Can I ask what happened?

@waterlilly62lori 6 месяцев назад

Do you ever have trouble using the alcohol to clean between coats? I did a lot of epoxy tumblers and cleaning with alcohol caused fisheyes.

@waterlilly62lori 6 месяцев назад

Did coating the sides first help? Do you sand the sides when finished?

@waterlilly62lori 6 месяцев назад

Why top coat and then the abrasive polish?

@greentreewoodworks6172 6 месяцев назад

Most people actually do polish their epoxy after the top coat. You can get away without doing it if there are no imperfections in your top coat. Your wood choice has a lot to do with that.

Can you tell me about the flowers you used? Thank you for answering my questions

@sumeetpaste3988 Год назад

Choice of flowers could have been better. But the work is awesome definitely🎉

@greentreewoodworks6172 Год назад

Thanks!

@greentreewoodworks6172 Год назад

What flowers would you recommend? I will say it’s hard to squeeze some flowers into an area only 3/4’s of an inch thick like that and be able to use the entire flower instead of just the petals.

Green Tree Woodworks It is a beautiful board. Any board made with epoxy and the ending is no scratches is a high five in my book. Nice job with the video, someone new to the epoxy projects differently learned a lot from it. Sometime people doing videos and talking about all the little stuff that goes with working with epoxy figure someone has already covered it. But any tips that you can give is great,there is always ten different ways of doing something and your way just might resonate with someone. I’ll check out some other videos.Thanks for sharing.

Yes, some of the content I post has already been covered. I try to go into more detail on issues or experiences that I’ve personally encountered so that others can gain from my mistakes. Epoxy is very time consuming and working with it can be expensive and hazardous. The end result (when done right)is what keeps me coming back to it!
