Good tip on oiling the wood. I'm working on an epoxy river table and I was taping the edges so I wouldn't get compound on the wood and noticed the edges were super clear. Now I'll seal the wood and not worry about the compound touching the wood.
@glasscastresinАй бұрын
It's still best to avoid spreading the compound onto the wood too much but treating it first certainly helps to prevent staining.

Obviously I can't sand just the epoxy squares without getting the wood. I was wondering what the point of finishing was if the buffer was going to remove material. Now I understand. I guess the only way to seal the wood properly would be to cover it in something that has the same strength at the epoxy and that brings us back to finishing the entire thing with epoxy so it can all be polished to the same level. Thanks again guys. Looks like I have a choice between leaving the wood exposed or coating it in epoxy.

Gonna be rewatching this because seeing multiple passes is new to me! Can this be applied to a resin table top that has a few flowers sticking out so it can be a flat shiny surface?
@glasscastresin9 ай бұрын
The flowers should really be fully encapsulated in the resin which will prevent them from absorbing moisture and decaying any further. If they are protruding from the surface then you should cut the flowers back flush and sand out a small amount of resin around the flowers, you can fill with a small quantity of resin to seal them in place. This can then be sanded flat and polished as demonstrated in the video. Alternatively you could cut the flowers back to the surface and apply a 2mm coating of GlassCast 3. GlassCast 3 cures with a flat glossy finish so you shouldn't then need to do any more finishing work.

A product such as that wouldn't improve the finish on the epoxy in any way. As an oil based product it would simply sit on the surface of the epoxy so can be wiped away once applied to the wood. If you are using a one with a stain to alter the appearance of the wood it would be a good idea to so this relatively quickly rather than letting it sit on the epoxy, especially with light coloured or clear resin.

Unlike woods which will absorb the oil to then be polished the oil will just sit on top of the resin and then be wiped off. Really, the only way to polish the resin is to work though the grades and then polish the surface. You can apply lacquers but these too then may need polishing themselves.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Once cured and polished up the GlassCast resin is often considered to be the finished result. Some customers do apply a PU topcoat but this isn't something which we supply. If you want to coat the wood as well then there is no need to polish the resin, simply flat and key with 120 grit. You can then use GlassCast 3 to flood the surface which will cure with a flat glossy surface. We actually show the process in this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/moWvfXmkqbV3bJI

It's inevitable that in polishing the resin the pad will cross over onto the wood and take off some of the coating. It's perfectly fine to go back and top this coating up once polishing is finished. It's recommended to give the wood a good clean first to remove any polishing compound which may have transferred onto the surface so as not to trap it under another layer of wood finish.

@glasscastresin Жыл бұрын
You could do the process in a very similar way. Applying the oil coat before you polish the resin surface will reduce the chances of the compound absorbing into the grain. For small areas you may wish to polish by hand which might reduce the spread of the compound over the wood areas.

Any additives mixed with the resin, be this a reinforcing fibre or filler powder will inherently reduce the clarity and be seen within the resin to some extent.

Fantastic! Such a great video! Any differences to this if your using a white marble finish epoxy? Different compound etc etc????

Hi, thanks for commenting. The process and compound would be exactly the same as the video.
