Cutting boards= no marks. Don't be a bull in the kitchen = no damages. Put ceramic coating on top of the clear resin = harder wearing surface.

When it comes to fixing resin counter tops like this you should not fill on the scratches or chips as all this would usually do is create an area where the resin does not bond properly and cause a color variation that nay look very noticeable an example is the sharpy pen which is not black and more of an oily purple, resin acts a lot like paint when fixing a scratch with a clear coat in that even though that scratched/ chipped resin looks white and and you think it would remain white in reality when you put the new layer of clear resin on it those white areas will turn back to the colour they used to be and the original colour / pattern is restored

The raffle was a super idea, James. Very good fun.

DOH! I couldn't win an argument with myself! Well done everyone 👍

I think sometimes we want something to work enough that we ignore the fact it’s not actually suitable… that thing is too vulnerable and reapplying a new surface every few months just seems so impractical 🤷🏼‍♂️

I won a mug! Oops I mean a storage pot with a handle 😃 Definitely not putting mine on eBay 😂 What a lovely offer James. I hope the raffle has helped fund some of the jobs on cerium 🤞🏻🥰

@DEmma1972 Ай бұрын

how awesome to extend the offer in this way. James, the resin hardens over many many days, maybe sample section each day to see if it was harder than the day before. It may take 10-14 days to achieve full hardness

Super glue, it comes in different viscosities. Use the runny stuff, then sand with 6000 grit and buff it out for scratch repair. The lower the super glue dries the less likely it is to have bubbles in it.

Congrats to the winners! Wish it was me coming so I could have a beer with you guys and help out a bit as I’m on annual leave that week. Wonder if our Alan won? Could take all the trim he’s been saving up for ya 😂

You know James, looking at the castle pictures on your door of Sloe Patrol I thought some epoxy resin pictures on your new boat.

Resin counter tops are as practical as chocolate fire guards

Congrats to the winners, loved watching the resin finding its level.

Hope you can take on board some constructive criticism. Never never never wet sand using your fingertips, The only place you are applying pressure to the abrasive is under your fingertips. This will leave areas of unprepared substrate, heard it refered to as finger furrowing in the finishing trade. Always prepare surfaces where a superior finish is required with a rubbing block.

@@user-tc1hj7oi3f thank you - I need a new sanding block and a sanding pad to help.

I think your creations with the resin may merit a sideline for you. You ought to raffle your experimental pieces too. Do you plan anymore 11 fluid Oz portable storage containers.? You have marketable stuff there James. I must admit, when I saw your initial attempts at kerfing and bending ply, I thought it would be a worthy experiment that went nowhere. I'm very glad you proved me wrong as it showed a massive perseverance.

Two weeks on epoxy resin time to get a wiggle on jame

This is why it's important to rake it every time

I enjoyed participating in the raffle. James, what would it cost to purchase a countertop which would not be damaged by knife cuts, etc???? Leigh

Well done to the winners !! I have to be honest I’m not sure about the resin at all , that’s just my view . Let’s see how it goes !

A vibrating table would do a good job with less effort.

Ive seen quite a few videos on this resin.. most of the fixes are done with a plumbing gas torch

Epoxy resin needs time to fully cure & harden ... Time depends on thickness

As a chopping board you could have it under glass.

What about cutting it into strips Getting some copper strips And doing a zebra like pattern

@janeingram7331 Ай бұрын

I;m not sure the scratchers left unattended is a good idea. Bacteria remains in them, I have a wood cutting block and sand paper it every couple of weeks to remove all cracks. Why don't you just buy a cutting block . IKEA has bamboo cutting boards for only about £26. As a person who cooks 3 meals a day, I would never think to cut on a shiny surface.

@@janeingram7331 it was a test to see what would happen. Of course I will only use a cutting block or chopping board
