Deephaven Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Looks great. Curious what technique you used. I haven't done epoxy, but did make a concrete sink a while back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal possible to do anything. lights , objects, etc, no problem. remember bars used to put name plates, coins, bottle caps, etc in the clear. that was nasty stinky shit , this stuff came from stone coat counters and is very friendly to use. not much smell and 2 hr work time. torch the bubbles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done epoxy, but did make a concrete sink a while back. i had to build the base. 3/4 sanded plywood screwed and glued. it was an inch and a half so i ripped the edges off a 2x4 and capped with that. car bondo to fix the holes , seams , and cracks. it came with a black base coat since i was doing black. the black has black metal flake all through and the marbling is white metal flake. pour the black , trowel out, use a brush to mush into surface, level and pop bubbles with propane torch. pull tape off edges at an hour and 15 minutes. smear edge so it follows. the swirl was just my own method. no 2 will be the same. stone coat counters Edited February 27 by sleepybrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICG Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Have an aircraft epoxy floor... It can be damaged.... Hardness v. Scratch Resistance would be major question.. Resale might be questionable down the 🛣️ road Me, solid laminate, safer long term bet. Edited February 27 by ICG Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Palu49 Posted February 27 Popular Post Share Posted February 27 I made a mobile bar for my fiancés wedding business and used epoxy over a pine slab. I didn’t paint the slab first which fucked up the edge and I had to paint and repour it. Exact same amount of every color in both pours but came out way different as you can see 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 3 minutes ago, sleepybrew said: nice . figured i wasn't alone Done a few now. Definitely like the dirty pour over flicking and dripping the color. I would stay away from the top coat they sell. Hard as concrete but it looks like hell. I had to sand that shit off it and re pour it, looked so bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
