How to apply Rubio Monocoat to river tables

[@rubiomonocoatusa]

Awesome video! Very informative and the table looks gorgeous. Thanks for using Rubio!

[@ArganicWoodwork]

Thank you and the next videos will be much better quality.

I agree Rubio Monocoat USA how about a coupon code: ARganic LOL

Can we use Rubio monocoat for clear resin (not pigmented Opaque) and wood table to get glass finish for resin?and Natural(non glossy finish) for wood?

[@rubiomonocoatusa]

​@@CR-vc2wt Our product will not bond to resin, only with raw wood. Note, however, that some oil may sit in micropores which will result in a tint if using a pigmented color.

[@andrewgrover]

@@rubiomonocoatusa If rubio doesn't bond with resin, then why are so many people making epoxy river tables with it? You seem to be conflicting yourself. I really want to know.

[@shaharcohen9669]

Thank you.for the video! Do you wet sand each grit? If so at what number grit do you start at?

[@chrismartin7070]

I made my river table from Indian Rosewood and sanded to 150 grit per Rubio Monocoat instructions and I was kinda satisfied with the look and then I saw your video and decided to give it a try I resanded the table to 2000 grit and it came out fantastic. I am so glad I redid it, you mention in one of your replies that you have made a video showing how to get the same results by sanding to a lower grit, can you give me a link so I can view it?

Thank you for the information.. Nice video. The music is a bit loud 😀

[@janoahyoung239]

What grit did you start sanding your epoxy resin at on your way to 2500 ?

[@thebrothersbarn6094]

Looks great! I been working on my 1st epoxy table and I can't get the haze or scratches to come out. Will this stuff help with that?

[@Acro_aviator]

Can you use coloured oil over clear

[@robinboer5687]

hi, is the table able to hold a cup of tea / coffee? is it heat and scratch resistent after the treatment?

[@The_Conqueeftador]

How is an oil based product adhering/absorbing to the epoxy?

[@OrthopaedicOz]

Do you apply the Rubio to both sides? Or just the top?

[@johnson309yyy]

When would be the right time to polish? Right after cleaning the exess or after 24 hours?

[@tadd6584]

What type of buffing pad are you using on this project after Rubio?

[@robotospy]

Yep...same question. Have you found the answer.

Nice video - I want to make a river table - with the river at a high sheen and the wood at a satin. it's a little hard to tell from the video if the wood is satin or semi-gloss?? I've used other products only to get the river coming out a little cloudy - I wet sand to 4000 grit. I really love the satin look of a table. Is this what I would get with the products in your video?? Thanks

[@ArganicWoodwork]

steve lang yes and the epoxy doesn’t come out cloudy. You will get a little bit of a shine but that’s mostly due to the high grit sanding, but it’s nothing like a gloss of a flood coat finish.

[@48030503]

@@ArganicWoodwork thanks for getting back to me - will give Rubio a try.

[@haphhhazard]

I just finished pouring the epoxy on a Redwood slab river table. This is going to be an outdoor table, covered by a back patio roof. It will see some sun and not much direct rain, though some may splash up on it. Do you happen to know if this product would work well for an outdoor river table?

[@xTwisteDx]

You theoretically "Should" be able to. It's Oil based so it will repel water, however you'll want to treat it every couple of months. Also, you'll want to make sure you put an extra coat or two just for the sake of safety.

[@timmytaylor4512]

Thanks for the video. That is an awesome look! Want to try this. Flood coating is tough due to dust and contaminants. I couldn't quite pick up on the exact Rubio products to purchase. Is this right? Part A = Natural Oil Finish. (or just 2C oil) Both appear on Rubio website. Part B = Oil plus 2C

[@ArganicWoodwork]

I posted the link to the exact Rubio product I used in the description. The pure is Part A which is the oil and Part B is the accelerator. I’m glad you found the video helpful.

[@luiscosme7370]

What grit are you sanding the wood and epoxy? Thanks!

[@ArganicWoodwork]

Luis Cosme went up to 2500 grit.

[@cipriansagiu1538]

Did you say 2500 grit sanding?

[@ArganicWoodwork]

Ciprian Sagiu yes but that’s because the resin doesn’t look great with anything less

[@cipriansagiu1538]

@@ArganicWoodwork but i thought Rubio will only stick to 150 grit or lower....

[@ArganicWoodwork]

Rubio was made for the flooring industry and I'm not sure they ever thought it would be used for furniture. The flooring industry has a different standard and you CAN apply it to higher grit, but Rubio doesn't guarantee proper adhesion. That would be why I made the video because although its recommended to go to 120-150 you can go higher and it bond just fine.

[@cipriansagiu1538]

@@ArganicWoodwork right right.....i see. Thanks for the info.

[@ArganicWoodwork]

@@cipriansagiu1538 no problem thanks for watching my video

[@heatherg1895]

Very nice, so with resin tables, you should polish the resin first

[@ArganicWoodwork]

Heather Green not really polishing just ensuring an area of even sanding and clarity. I have another video that’s newer on how I use a sanding system that allows me to get the same clarity without going to such a high grit.

[@sarahboolala]

When do you apply epoxy? Im trying to make wood countertops and figure out if I should use monocoat + epoxy

[@ArganicWoodwork]

Sarah Lo Russo like a floodcoat? The epoxy is already cured and sanded down, then I apply the Rubio and it’s finished. That’s the last step for me

[@aleidabianchi1434]

Woodglut has a lot of plans to choose from.

[@markkoons7488]

I'm not much of a fan of music in woodworking videos. No matter what you choose, you're going to put off a portion of your viewers plus you have a real problem with balance between music volume and that of narration.
