I didn't check all the comments below for tips. Pour #1 was too cold. Tip #1: Warm up the epoxy bottles before mixing by placing them in a sink with warm water. Tip #2: Before you pour the epoxy, use the heat gun / torch while still in the container to pop the bubbles. Then pour very slowly. This really helps. Tip #3: Use regular cauck (not silicone cauck) around the coin to create a dam to prevent the expoxy to flow over the mallet. As you mentioned, it's better to over fill just a bit. Tip #4: Before you put in the coin pour a little epoxy in the bottom, put in the coin and then fill in the rest. Tip #5: DON'T SKIP THE SANDING GRITS! This step is critical for clear expoxy pours. Hope these tips help in your next project. Great job!

I made a live edge river table a couple of years ago, and my biggest tips (besides everything that Matt covered here) would be: Don’t over mix/pour what your epoxy suggests. This will cause “uncontrolled exotherm” and your epoxy will start to crack below the surface. It will be tempting to do bigger pours to finish the project quicker, but DONT! (This is where I went wrong) Use a torch over a heat gun to get the bubbles out. It pops the bubbles quicker which means you won’t heat up the epoxy as much. Hope this helps you get an awesome result and good luck!

Then add the first part of the epoxy and note the weight and zero the scale. Add the 2nd part of the epoxy to match the measurement. That may help you get a perfect pour. Great job and thank you for all you do!!

You need a vacuum cabinet for these. If you place the item in a vacuum cabinet and draw as much of a vacuum immediately after the pour, you can clear out your bubbles. Basically making the bubbles "bigger" by lowering the surrounding air pressure and they float to the top and a heat gun/torch will pop them easily enough leaving a clear pour with a nice smooth surface.

Turned out well Matt, I make a lot of Cigarbox guitars, on the necks I like a glass smooth finish on the oak. It takes you to go up through the grits but you'll get there quicker if you wipe down the wood in between the grits with a slightly damp cloth. I usually put a very small amount of thinner or petrol on the cloth. This removes any of the heavier grit debris left in the timber. When I was first told this (by a really elderly French polisher) I doubted it thinking, I don't need to do that because I have a vacuum on my sander (same dewalt sander as yours) but boy does it make a difference. Give it a try and see. Davy.

Once you figure epoxy out and perfect its uses its amazing! You mentioned all the important steps to make sure it turns out as intended, but one thing you can do is layers of epoxy. Like with the bubble that left a dip you could just mix a tiny bit and fill it after the first application cures. Also when mixing part A with part B slow and steady is the best way to keep bubbles from forming 👍 Great vid btw!

Temperature is a HUGE factor in epoxy. If you're working in a colder shop, you can always blow some warm air at the cup while mixing. That'll get it all flowy and mix much better. Also, its hard to mix small batches by volume. I measure the weight of the initial shipment to get their weight ratio. Then use a small scale to add epoxy by weight radios (which equivocates to a volume).

Use a Bernzomatic torch to pop bubbles after you pour, but yes, the epoxy needs to be at the right temp and it needs to cure at the right temp. You probably could have gotten away with only going up to 320 grit. It would be clear when you put that Odie's oil on it. Check out Cam at Blacktail Studio. Obviously he's not the only one, but he is one of many that has mastered rivertables, but in my opinion he goes out of his way to provide as many details as possible to show you the way.

Love your videos, and the willingness to try on camera. If you are going to use a small amount, use smaller mixing cups. The ratio is critical to keep it from being tacky. The more accurate measurement the better. Epoxy doesn't dry, it is a chemical reaction that cures. So if the ratio is off, it will be tacky.

I love this project! Something I found with resin when pouring it over small objects (coins or bottlecaps) is it will seep underneath them if they are not 100% sealed down and then release the air bubbles into the pour, (found that out on a bottle cap table). When doing shallow pours like this I find it helpful to mix the resin with the cup in a hot water bath to thin it out so it flows smoother.

Just a suggestion. It is crucial to get the mix ratio exactly equal of the 2 parts. As you found, if parts are nor equal it will not completely cure (tacky) or milky finish. A tip to get your ratio mix correct every time would be to use a food scale. Set your container on scale, zero for tare weight, pour half in volume of part 1, note weight (can be in grams or ounces), zero for tare weight, pour part 2 to exactly equal the weight of the part 1 weight. Voila!!! You have exactly equal parts and only the amount needed to finish the job. This will apply to any epoxy pour, big or small. Hope this helps! Enjoy your videos........

I know I'm a little bit late to the party but you might want to wear a respirator when dealing with epoxy I know you didn't do a huge pour but still it's one of those better safe than sorry scenarios. Keep up the good work brother love the videos.

The measuring cups are great, but in my experience, using a digital kitchen scale to measure by weight is usually a better way to measure epoxy. And always get the resin up to at least 70 degrees before trying to mix or use. Temp and a little heat on it after you pour it and no sanding will be needed. Great video Matt!

I always measure out epoxy by weight on scales, its so much more accurate than pouring into measuring cups.

Nice work! I wonder if you could heat the coin a little before placing the epoxy if that would displace the bubbles better. I made an epoxy table for my Mom. I placed epoxy in front of a space heater for a little bit, then started with part B, then mixed in part A. Finally, try heating a couple of times or more heat (even torch worked better for me...I know this may not be the perfect application for torch due to the awesome wood choice). Psalm 19:12...Great Job!

You can hit the cup with heat gun too after a mix and it will pop it before poirs

I have never used Total Boat but I assume most products are the same. When the epoxy is cold I warm it up in a warm water bath for a few minutes. Makes it pour and mix a lot easier for better clarity and less bubbles to pop.
