Table update. Got the top of the table completely routered and flattened. Overall it worked pretty well and I think it turned out alright. I flipped the table back over and found a crack. Damnit lol.
The crack is about 10” long and right along the edge of the epoxy/wood. Still haven’t quite...
Yeah I’m running off memory but I believe it was about 72 hours or so before it became tacky. If you’re looking at doing the river style table you definitely want to get the deep pour stuff. The regular epoxy gets way hotter and will discolor and crack if you try and deep pour it. I did use the...
