This was a great class. Nathan is a great teacher. I now have the skills and confidence with epoxy to take my work to the next level. I traveled to the Richmond, VA from Philadelphia, PA. The class was information packed. The class is worth every dollar. Highly recommend this class.
@@taylorsessions4143 will do... They're cut to size now... I'm building the molds this weekend and pouring next weekend...I actually have 6 boards to make, but only 5 colors: blue, orange, Merlot, black, and white... Trying to decide what combo to use for the 6th color....but they'll be posted to IG when they're done..🙂
I'm wishing I was closer for your class! Good to see your latest tips working with Rubio, I like that tip about keeping it in the fridge! Got a cute baby helping you out, just you wait, my 5 yr old son won't let me work alone!
So after use in the buyers home, and they wash it with warm soapy water, sooner or later it will need another coat. What do they use for the maintenance when needed? Do they have to learn to use and buy Rubio's MonoCoat, or is there something else they can put over top the Rubio's to bring it back to luster that is easy and cheap?
I appreciate your giving my question the heart, but what is the answer to the question regarding how the end customer would reapply and what would they use to reapply?
Just waiting for his first law suit for using Rubio on a food surfaces. I guess free product and sponsorship is more important than clients health. Damn shame
@@charlesandcharles_woodcrafters you need to read the website before posting such claims. I want to thank you for being concerned for people’s health, but Rubio IS fit for food according to their website. So if anything happens it’s on them, not me. I also, don’t have a paid sponsorship with Rubio, nor have they given me any free product!
Outstanding and informative video! You mentioned the oil drying process normally takes 3 1/2 weeks, so when using the accelerator how much is the drying time improved? Thanks in advance!
I have a question and hope you'll answer. I'm new at this first off. I live adding things to my resin and wood boards, i.e. shells, corks etc. When I'm finished with all the resin work and it's cured...I plane it and sand. Here's where I'm unsure what to do next. What I've been doing is sanding the wood to like 220 grit and the resin to 5000 and polishing. Still my resin is not super clear as before running it through the planer. I have to add a top coat. Is this correct? How do I handle not wanting the topcoat on the wood? Thank you for your help.
Great question! You must cut and buff with an automotive buffer and buffing compound. Then polishing compound. You can’t hand buff this stuff to bring back the shine and clarity. But honestly I just sand to 220 or 320 and spray a clear coat over it because the clear coat finish will be stronger and more scratch resistant than the epoxy is.
Rubio cousins it is food safe. This means that you can eat food that has been placed on it, not that it is recommended to cut up your food on it. In other words, good for a serving board, bad for a cutting board! Hope that helps!
i wanted your opinion on this. im using buckeye burl and epoxy to make a board. the wood is pretty soft. My dilemma is i love the look of wood and epoxy when its sanded and sealed with like odies oil but i wasnt sure for this board if i should do a tabletop epoxy to help seal it and give it the extra rigidity? what are your thoughts?
If you want to stabilize the wood you can use the same casting epoxy used in this video or you can use this penetrating epoxy from total boat. amzn.to/3nJXNtL
Great video! Thank you for it, your information has helped me make a few boards. Question, are you using polishing the resin at all or is the Monocoat actually coating the resin also?
Quick question. How much ventilation do I need? I'm using about 1.5 liters of 2>1 thick pour. It says low voc. I don't wanna poison myself if I do a project in the basement. It's -20ish outside.
Hi what's the best way to advatise that you make resin and wood furniture I have been making table for a while but I need some advise on how to get more customers thanks
How well does the sealer stick to the epoxy? Since it won't penetrate does it just sit on top? If it does just sit on top wouldn't this cutting board be purely an art piece? Any knife would leave marks no?
if you check out their website, it says that it is FDA approved for incidental food contact. so you can serve food on it but cannot prepare food on it. hopefully that makes sense....haha
If you sand properly and use the scotch brute pad in between coats you will no longer have scratches or swirls. If your worried about them you can always sand up to 220 grit.
Please please please stop showing people to use Rubio on food surfaces. It is NOT food safe. Look at the MSDS for the hardner. Please use Odies oil or another food safe finish. Rubio is great, just not for charcuterie boards or cutting boards!!
@@fiveoboy01 OH, good. I had been looking for MSDS sheet on it. Glad you found out the catalyst was food safe. Can you post that here for everyone. Thanks for your help locating this so we call know. 👏👏👏👏
@@charlesandcharles_woodcrafters the info was posted. That you choose to ignore it is your issue. You’re simply wrong. Hard wax finishes including Rubio AND its activator are inert and safe once cured.
