    Love your transparency about your errors. As a wood worker myself, when I began I thought everyone did everything perfect the first time. After making a few mistakes its easy to get down on yourself as you think only you are having these problems. Transparency like this helps people big time.
  • I really like that you are willing to show your mistakes and how to fix them. That is actually very good information! So many of these people showing their epoxy projects are not showing their failures or their repairs. They make it look unrealistically easy.

    'I do not want you to make mistakes I did'. Excellent advice. Thank you Bro being frank and straight forward. All the best.

    Helpful tip for seal coats and problem areas like that, warm up the epoxy first in hot water to make flow almost like water. Gets in every nook and void quicker and easier to releases the bubbles faster before the resin sets up. Also had good success torching a crevice tool and speed setting the epoxy in small holes that won't stop gassing in my seal coats. Keep up the great and informative videos. For all the newbies to live edge 3 seal coats minimum or more till the bubbles stop

    You just made me relax over my last issue that things are fixable thank you for the low stress method! Appreciate this!
  • Good video with easy explanation. Wished I'd seen before I started my project.

    Great video man. I'm making my first epoxy table next month and this video realy makes me more confident knowing that I can fix it if I happen to make a mistake and trap air bubbles.

    I did a live-edge bar top with an epoxy resin and at first I got a few bubbles. After sanding it down I did a lot of research and tried a new method. After pouring & squeegeeing, I used a heat gun on it, very lightly. You could watch the bubbles disappear, it levelled out real nice, and it was the best finish I've ever had.

    I’m telling you . This will be a life saver for my issues with resining my mixed media painting . Good thing I’m planning to do the area with the issue in matte finish . Another you tube lady doing counters showed how to sand down the area to be even with the rest of the piece . The lowest disc I have is 320. My other lower ones are too coarse. Don’t have 220, so hopefully 320 will be good. Practicing on a scrap tun off piece of art resin. Nice table by the way. They look fun to make. Hopefully when covid is over I’ll look for a local class teaching how to make river tables. Anyway. Your tips is saving me grief over a spot where the resin resisted the resin layer below . Gives me hope for my piece and pocket book.

    Thank you for making this video!
  • I know I am late to the comment party, but so thankful for this video. I just watched the video (all 4 parts) on delivering the table. When I saw it go out I was like oh no the holes!!! I know it is no fun having to redo things, but glad I caught this right after the last video. Great Job!
